We study the short-range nucleon-nucleon interaction in a chiral constituent quark model by diagonalizing a Hamiltonian comprising a linear confinement and a Goldstone boson exchange interaction between quarks. The six-quark harmonic oscillator basis contains up to two excitation quanta. We show that the highly dominant configuration is | sp[42]O [51]FS > due to its specific flavour-spin symmet...

Endogenous daily (circadian) rhythms allow organisms to anticipate daily changes in the environment. Most mammals are specialized to be active during the night (nocturnal) or day (diurnal). However, typically nocturnal mammals become diurnal when energetically challenged by cold or hunger. The circadian thermo-energetics (CTE) hypothesis predicts that diurnal activity patterns reduce daily ener...

Abstract The criteria for the definition of a new mineral species currently used by Commission on New Minerals Nomenclature and Classification (CNMNC) International Mineralogical Association are critically examined. In particular, rule dominant constituent can violate laws conservation electric charge. A series additional rules: (1) valency-imposed double site-occupancy; (2) dominant-valency ru...

HRDI (High Resolution Doppler InterferometerUARS) winds data have been analyzed in 4-latitude by 10-longitude cells at 96 km to obtain the global distribution of the solar-tidal amplitudes and phases. The solstices June–July (1993), December–January (1993–1994), and one equinox (September–October, 1994) are analyzed. In an earlier paper (Manson et al., 2002b) the emphasis was solely upon the lo...

Dominant-feature identification decomposes spatial data into several additive components to make different features apparent on each component. It recognizes their dominant credibly and assesses feature attributes. This paper describes the pipeline apply this method regular irregular lattice as well geostatistical data. These implementations are all openly available templates for case provided ...

The diurnal variability of monsoon precipitation and associated circulation features, e.g. land/sea breezes, mountain/valley breezes, and low-level jets, in the monsoon regions of the world are reviewed, with a particular focus on the Asian monsoon. The dominant pattern of diurnal variability is a maximum in rainfall over land during the afternoon/evening in response to solar heating of the sur...
