BACKGROUND Climate variability modifies both oceanic and terrestrial surface CO2 flux. Using observed/assimilated data sets, earlier studies have shown that tropical oceanic climate variability has strong impacts on the land surface temperature and soil moisture, and that there is a negative correlation between the oceanic and terrestrial CO2 fluxes. However, these data sets only cover less tha...

The Heilongjiang Duobaoshan area is located at the confluence of Great Xing’an Range and Lesser Range, has undergone a complex magmatic tectonic evolutionary history resulting in diverse geological background for mineralization. As result this complexity multi-period nature mineralization, geochemical data are usually not satisfied with single statistical distribution form, so traditional metho...

Abstract Topological interactions will generally occur in composite Higgs or Little Higgs theories, extradimensional gauge theories in which A5 plays the role of a Higgs boson, and amongst the pNGB’s of technicolor. This phenomena arises from the chiral and anomaly structure of the underlying UV completion theory, and/or through chiral delocalization in higher dimensions. These effects are desc...

[1] A composite time series (1993–2000) of sea surface height anomaly from several satellites is used to identify eddies in the South China Sea (SCS). The eddy lifetime, radius, strength, and straight-line travel distance are estimated. Altogether 58 anticyclonic eddies and 28 cyclonic eddies are identified for this period. They are grouped into four geographical zones according to known eddy g...

We review the subject of Kähler anomalies in gauged supergravity, emphasizing that field equations are inconsistent when the Kähler potential is non-invariant under gauge transformations or when there are elementary Fayet-Iliopoulos couplings. Flux vacua solutions of string theory with gauged U(1) shift symmetries appear to avoid this problem. The covariant Kähler anomalies involve tensors whic...

fusion is an anomaly manifested in both deciduous and permanent dentitions. fu- sion of dental tissues in the primary dentition is of clinical significance owing to the challenges in treatment of the affected teeth and aberrations encountered in development and eruption of their successors. triple tooth refers to the :union: of three separate tooth entities. it can occur by fusion, germination,...

In the generalized Pauli-Villars regularization of chiral gauge theory proposed by Frolov and Slavnov , it is important to specify how to sum the contributions from an infinite number of regulator fields. It is shown that an explicit sum of contributions from an infinite number of fields in anomaly-free gauge theory essentially results in a specific choice of regulator in the past formulation o...
