We study the infra-red dynamics of D1-branes at the conifold. We show using methods developed to study the infra-red dynamics of (4, 4) theories, the infra-red degrees of freedom of the (2, 2) theory of a single D1-brane at the conifold is that of a linear dilaton with background charge of √ 2 and a compact scalar. The gauge theory of N D1-branes at the conifold is used to formulate the matrix ...

It is difficult to explain the price insensitive or infra-marginal behavior, an example of which is the behavior of credit markets during the recent financial crisis, by risk aversion alone. It is known that infra-marginal behavior may arise with ambiguity aversion. Furthermore, there appears to be fairly strong evidence of a close connection between ambiguity and conformity. Here we propose an...

Infrared radiations are radiations below (infra) visible spectrum. This emergent dual use technology field is fast emerging amongst the most ubiquitous ones. It spans from low-end automatic supermarket door openers to high-end space based detectors used to detect nuclear tests, missiles and intra galactic radiations. At the heart of this technology is the IR detector. Objective of this report i...

This paper describes technical/mathematical solutions for simulating infra-red sensor e ects. We have implemented our simulation using a pc running Windows nt and o -the-shelf image processing hardware and software. In particular, we describe the computation of the dynamic characteristics of the actual sensor package within the constraints of hardware and software environment. These characteris...

The Early to Late Oligocene Propalaeocastor is the earliest known beaver genus from Eurasia. Although many species of this genus have been described, these species are defined based on very fragmentary specimens. Propalaeocastor irtyshensis from the Early Oligocene Irtysh River Formation in northwestern Xinjiang, China is one of the earliest-known members of Propalaeocastor. This species is def...

Three experiments demonstrate that infra-red spectroscopic measures of bone mineral crystallinity are partially dependent upon sample preparation methods. Intensive grinding of bone samples for Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopic analysis results in a net decrease in splitting factor (SF), a common measure of apatite crystallinity. If grinding is overly intensive, SF measurement ma...

We investigate the infra-red stability of the fixed points in the evolution of the Yukawa couplings, A-parameters and soft scalar masses in a broad class of supersymmetric theories. We show that the issue of stability is essentially determined in all three cases by the eigenvalues of the same matrix. In a very wide range of physically interesting theories it follows that, in the asymptotically ...

Purpose Described as the world‟s larges machine, large technological infrastructures embrace us with its services. Those infrastructure-based services enable communication, energy utilization, financial transactions, transportation, etc. In this paper we will label those services Infra-Services and argue that Infra-Services is a special class of services which falls into the intersection of the...

This article is focused on the calculation of heat radiation intensity and its optimization on an aluminum mould surface. The inside of the mould is sprinkled with a special powder and its outside is heated by infra heaters located above the mould surface, up to a temperature of 250°C. By this way artificial leathers in the car industry are produced (e. g. the artificial leather on a car dashbo...

Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease may have disturbances of gastric motility, which could play a role in the pathophysiology of the disease. Recent studies have suggested that the gastric region just below the gastroesophageal junction may have a distinct physiological behavior. We determined whether patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease have abnormal residence of food in the...
