In this research we work with the effective Hamiltonian and the quark model. We investigate the decay rates of matter-antimatter of quark. We describe the effective Hamiltonian theory and apply this theory to the calculation of current-current ( ), QCD penguin ( ), magnetic dipole ( ) and electroweak penguin ( ) decay rates. The gluonic penguin structure of hadronic decays is studied thro...

Progress in revascularization treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) have triggered a growing interest for new non invasive imaging and localization of myocardial ischemia and viability [13]. Most recently magnetocardiographic (MCG) source imaging has received increasing attention for that purpose, as demonstrated by the relevant number of papers presented at this conference. Different MCG ...

For about six decades, primary current sources of the electroencephalogram (EEG) have been assumed dipolar in nature. In this study, we used electrophysiological recordings from anesthetized Wistar rats undergoing repeated whisker deflections to revise the biophysical foundations of the EEG dipolar model. In a first experiment, we performed three-dimensional recordings of extracellular potentia...

High resolution body surface potential maps and an equivalent current dipole model of the cardiac generator were used to assess the heart state in two abnormal conditions: WPW syndrome with single accessory pathway and local ventricular ischemia. Results of a simulation study and experimental verification of the method for both cardiologic abnormalities are presented. Single accessory pathway i...

High performance force sensors often encounter the problem of vibrations during the process of calibration and measurement. To address this problem, this paper presents a novel passive eddy current damper (ECD) for vibration suppression. The conceived ECD utilizes eight tubular permanent magnets, arranged in Halbach array, and a conductive copper rod to generate damping. The ECD does not requir...

Feature-specific stimulus discrimination related to short-term auditory sensory memory can be studied electrophysiologically using a specific event-related potential (ERP) component termed mismatch negativity (MMN), which is generated in the auditory cortex, indexing automatic comparison of the existing memory trace to incoming novel stimuli. Previous results with electroencephalography (EEG) a...

The impedance of an eddy-current probe changes when the current it induces in an electrical conductor is perturbed by a flaw such as a crack. In predicting the probe signals, it is expedient to introduce idealizations about the nature of the flaw. Eddy-current interaction is considered with an ideal crack having a negligible opening and acting as a impenetrable barrier to electric current. The ...
