It is shown that the dual of the double compactified D=11 Supermembrane and a suitable compactified D=10 Super 4D-brane with nontrivial wrapping on the target space may be formulated as noncommutative gauge theories. The Poisson bracket over the world-volume is intrinsically defined in terms of the minima of the hamiltonian of the theory, which may be expressed in terms of a non degenerate 2-fo...

The change in the bisphenol A (BPA) content in a polycarbonate (PC) orthodontic bracket and its leaching characteristics were studied by immersing the bracket in water because BPA has been the matter of controversy in dentistry due to its estrogenic potential. PC brackets were placed in water at 37 degrees C and 60 degrees C and the BPA content in the bracket and the amount of BPA released into...

In this paper we introduce a new invariant of virtual knots and links that is non-trivial for many virtuals, but is trivial on classical knots and links. The invariant will initially be expressed in terms of a relative of the bracket polynomial [4], and then extracted from this polynomial in terms of its exponents, particularly for the case of knots. The analog of the bracket polynomial will be...

JCO/DECEMBER 2005 T lingual technique is considered to be one of the most difficult, requiring extended treatment times and often achieving less-than-satisfactory results. Firstand third-order tooth movements are complicated by the variable lingual tooth anatomy.1 Torque control is also more problematic; with the reduced interbracket distance, even small variations in bracket height can have a ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate amalgam surfaces treated by different output powers of erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser by scanning electron microscope (sem). methods: twenty-one amalgam blocks (8 mm × 8 mm, 3 mm thickness) were prepared by condensing silver amalgam (into putty impression material. after keeping them for 24 hours in distilled water, th...

We study various generating operators of a given odd Poisson bracket on a supermanifold. They arise as the operators that map a function to the divergence of the associated hamiltonian derivation, where divergences of derivations can be defined either in terms of berezinian volumes or of graded connections. Examples include generators of the Schouten bracket of multivectors on a manifold (the s...

The Hamiltonian structure of the gauge-free gyrokinetic Vlasov-Maxwell equations is presented in terms a functional and bracket. bracket used to show that angular-momentum conservation law can also be expressed form. Jacobi property demonstrated explicitly.

Two categorifications are given for the arrow polynomial, an extension of the Kauffman bracket polynomial for virtual knots. The arrow polynomial extends the bracket polynomial to infinitely many variables, each variable corresponding to an integer arrow number calculated from each loop in an oriented state summation for the bracket. The categorifications are based on new gradings associated wi...

We show that it is possible to extend Moore’s analysis of the classical scattering amplitudes of the bosonic string to those of the N=1 superstring. Using the bracket relations we are able to show that all possible amplitudes involving both bosonic and fermionic string states at arbitrary mass levels can be expressed in terms of amplitudes involving only massless states. A slight generalization...
