We consider a general symmetric (3 × 3) mass matrix for three generations of neutrinos. Imposing the constraints, from the atmospheric neutrino and solar neutrino anomalies as well as from the CHOOZ experiment, on the mass squared differences and on the mixing angles, we identify the ranges of allowed inputs for the 6 matrix elements. We apply our results to Majorana lefthanded neutrino masses ...

Enantiomers are chiral objects which di er by their orientation and are thus referred to as lefthanded and right-handed enantiomers. In applications they mostly occur as so-called racemic compounds consisting of approximately the same amount of leftand right-handed species which may have completely di erent properties. Hence, the separation of leftfrom right-handed enantiomers is an important i...

Corticocortical interactions between the primary motor cortex, the ventral premotor cortex and posterior parietal motor areas, such as the anterior and caudal intraparietal sulcus, are relevant for skilled voluntary hand function. It remains unclear to what extent these brain regions and their interactions also contribute to basic motor functions after stroke. We hypothesized that white matter ...

Multipath is detrimental for both GPS positioning and timing applications. However, the benefits of GPS multipath for reflectometry have become increasingly clear for soil moisture, snow depth, and vegetation growth monitoring. Most multipath forward models focus on the code modulation, adopting arbitrary values for the reflection power, phase, and delay, or they calculate the reflection delay ...

One might think that Poincare symmetry is something thoroughly understood but the Very Special Relativity [1] proposed by nobelist Sheldon Glashow and Andrew Cohen suggests that this might belief might be wrong. Glashow and Cohen propose that instead of Poincare group, call it P , some subgroup of P might be physically more relevant than the whole P . To not lose four-momentum one must assume t...

Current fragmentation in semiinclusive deep inelastic leptoproduction offers, besides refinement of inclusive measurements such as flavor separation and access to the chiral-odd quark distribution functions hq1(x) = δq(x), the possibility to investigate intrinsic transverse momentum of hadrons via azimuthal asymmetries. LEADING QUARK DISTRIBUTION FUNCTIONS In deep-inelastic leptoproduction (DIS...

Exact solution of the modified Dirac equation in rotating medium is found in polar coordinates in the limit of vanishing neutrino mass. The solution for the active lefthanded particle exhibit properties similar to those peculiar for the charged particle moving in the presence of a constant magnetic field. Accordingly, the particle in the rotating matter has circle orbits with energy levels, ana...

Objectives: Musculoskeletal adaptations on the dominant arm of baseball pitchers are typically (1) a gain in glenohumeral external rotation (ER) range motion (ROM), (2) loss internal (IR) ROM, (3) posterior shoulder tightness, (4) weakness empty can test, and (5) increased IR strength. The purpose this study was to determine if these differed between righthand (RHD) versus lefthand (LHD) pitche...

The nucleosome is the fundamental unit of chromatin and has been introduced in Chapter 3. It consists of an octameric protein core composed of two copies each of histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, and 145–147 base pairs (bp) of DNA. The DNA stably contacts the surface of the histone protein octamer core in a lefthanded superhelix of almost two turns. Histone proteins have a globular part fo...

Although feasible explanations for the observed preponderance of matter over antimatter have long existed, it is only since the idea of creating it at the electroweak phase transition (EWPT) that we have the hope of testing such theories in the laboratory. Since the EWPT occurred when the universe was at a temperature near 100 GeV, any new physics it might need for producing the baryon asymmetr...
