We study the IR dynamics of the cascading non-conformal quiver theory on N regular and M fractional D3 branes at the tip of the complex cone over the first del Pezzo surface. The horizon of this cone is the irregular Sasaki-Einstein manifold Y 2,1. Our analysis shows that at the end of the cascade supersymmetry is dynamically broken.

Cone penetration testing (CPT) is an extensively utilized and cost effective tool for geotechnical site characterization. CPT consists of pushing at a constant rate electronic cone into penetrable soils recording the resistance to tip (qc value). The measured qc values (after correction pore water pressure) are estimate soil type associated properties based predominantly on empirical correlatio...

Transverse-momentum dependent (TMD) light-cone wave functions of a light meson are important ingredients in the TMD QCD factorization of exclusive processes. This factorization allows one conveniently resum Sudakov logarithms appearing in collinear factorization. The TMD light-cone wave functions are not simply related to the standard light-cone wave functions in collinear factorization by inte...

The light-pen coordinate measuring machine (LPCMM for short) is portable and flexible to measure features including invisible ones in-situ. Since different styluses are needed to measure different features and even during the process of measuring a single workpiece with complicated configurations, to improve the system measurement accuracy it is beneficial to calibrate the stylus tip center pos...

ters to characterize both agricultural and rangeland A DYNAMIC CONE PENETROMETER soils, however, has been limited by concerns about (i) FOR MEASURING SOIL instrument cost, (ii) measurement repeatability, (iii) limited ranges of soil resistance that can be measured by PENETRATION RESISTANCE a single penetrometer, and (iv) difficulties in comparing Jeffrey E. Herrick* and Tim L. Jones data collec...

The presence of analytical dependencies describing the process static soil puncture by a working body with conical asymmetric tip is necessary to create installations ability control trajectory puncture. paper considers features interaction an ground. Analytical relationships were obtained determine its reactions during puncture, deviation head from straight line, size compaction zone and magni...

LLE Review, Volume 134 127 Introduction The cone-guided scheme for fast-ignition inertial confinement fusion (ICF)1,2 provides the potential of higher gains at lower total driver energy than conventional central hot-spot–ignition schemes. In this scheme, a spherical target with a hollow gold cone attached is first compressed by laser beams outside the cone and then ignited by a petawatt (PW) sh...

For d 1 0 > and 4112 oriented tungsten tips deposited with liquid-gallium, electroll emission patterns and emissiol~ current characteristics were investigated by field emission micrc~scopy. When the tip ~ o l t a g c was applied for the first time after deposition of gallium, stable liquid-gallium cones were forn~ed on the remolded facets for thicknesses d 1.5 5nm and DC electron emission occur...

Electrical coupling via gap junctions is a common property of CNS neurons. In retinal photoreceptors, coupling plays important roles in noise filtering, intensity coding, and spatial processing. In many vertebrates, coupling is regulated during the course of light adaptation. To understand the mechanisms of this regulation, we studied photoreceptor gap junction proteins. We found that two conne...
