We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on 44Ca,48Ca, 56Fe, 90Zr, and 208Pb. With 40Ca as a test case, we show that the Continuum Random Phase Approximation (CRPA) and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rat...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an important nosocomial pathogen that causes opportunistic infections and hospital outbreaks. During October 2012, carbapenem-resistant P.aeruginosa strains with similar antibiotic resistance patterns, were isolated from specimens sent from the intensive care and plastic surgery units in our hospital. Thus a hospital outbreak was suspected. The microbiology laboratory ...

During its developmental cycle, the intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis remains confined within a protective vacuole known as an inclusion. Nevertheless, CD8(+) T cells that recognize Chlamydia Ags in the context of MHC class I molecules are primed during infection. MHC class I-restricted presentation of these Ags suggests that these proteins or domains from them have access ...

We use a fully self-consistent Hartree−Fock (HF) based continuum random phase approximation (CRPA) to calculate strength functions S(E) and transition densities ρt(r) for isoscalar giant resonances with multipolarities L = 0, 1 and 2 in 80Zr nucleus. In particular, we consider the effects of spurious state mixing (SSM) in the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) and extend the projection me...

The isostructural α-γ phase transition in cerium is analyzed using density-functional theory with different exchange-correlation functionals, in particular the PBE0 hybrid functional and the exact-exchange plus correlation in the random-phase approximation [(EX+cRPA)@PBE0] approach. We show that the Hartree-Fock exchange part of the hybrid functional gives rise to two distinct solutions at zero...

studied when the receiver is connected to a GAS-1 CRPA mounted on a C-12J aircraft. The signals received by the seven elements of the CRPA are fed to antenna electronics (AE) where the signals are combined based on null steering or beam forming/null steering. AE based on space-only processing, 7-tap STAP, as well as 128-bin SFAP is considered. It is shown that platform generated multipath has v...

NAVSYS has developed a new Digital Antenna Element design for integration with a Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) which offers significant advantages over conventional Digital Antenna Electronics for high integrity GPS applications such as the Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS). Instead of performing spatial processing within the Digital Antenna Electronics, the Digi...

The effective interaction of downfolded low-energy models for electrons in solids can be obtained by integrating out the high energy bands away from target band near Fermi level. Here we apply constrained random-phase approximation (cRPA) and functional renormalization group (cfRG), which go beyond cRPA including all one-loop diagrams, to calculate compare interactions three-band Emery model, i...

The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States and the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Prior exposure to C. trachomatis has been shown to provide incomplete protection against subsequent infection. One possible explanation for the limited immunity afforded by prior C. trachomati...

We present the implementation and validation of Hartree-Fock continuum random phase approximation (HF-CRPA) model in GENIE neutrino-nucleus interaction event generator a comparison subsequent predictions to experimental measurements lepton kinematics from interactions with no mesons final state. These are also compared those other models available GENIE. It is shown that, respect these models, ...
