Complexes of the general composition Rh(phpy)2(S∪E) with phpy− = 2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl and S∪E− = diethyldithiocarbamate, 2-pyridinethiolate and 2-quinolinethiolate were prepared and characterized. The complexes with S∪E− = diethyldithiocarbamate and 2-pyridinethiolate show a low-temperature luminescence which originates from a phpy ππ∗ intraligand triplet. For the complex with S∪E− = 2-quinoline...

We propose the study of non-local gauge invariant operators to obtain an uncontaminated ground state for hadrons. The efficiency of the operators is shown by looking at the wave function of the first excited state, which has a node as a function of spatial extent of the operator.

Estimates are presented for the cross sections for production of dibaryon resonances in electron-deuteron scattering. Two different models, with these resonances as two-body and three-body excited states, are analysed.

29 W e all want to change our appearance in some way. For example, makeup helps enhance appearance, although it primarily relates to the face. Many people try to change their moods by changing their accessories, clothes, and hairstyles. Some people even resort to plastic surgery to make permanent changes. We often observe behaviors that stem from a more radical desire for metamorphosis. For exa...

We discuss inflationary solutions of the coupled Einstein-Klein-Gordon equations for a complex field in a five dimensional spacetime with a compact x 5-dimension. As a new feature, the scalar field contains a dependence on the extra dimension of the form exp(imx 5), corresponding to Kaluza-Klein excited modes. In a four dimensional picture, a nonzero m implies the presence of a new term in the ...

A brief review on double beta decay to excited states of daughter nuclei is given. The ECEC(0ν) transitions to the excited states are discussed in association with a possible enhancement of the decay rate by several orders of magnitude.

Aristotle once developed the difference between man and animal in the following way: animals can understand each other by indicating to each other what excites their desire so they can seek it, and what injures them, so they can flee from it. To men alone is logos given as well, so that they can make manifest to each other what is useful and harmful, and therefore what is right and wrong. A pro...
