In 1967 Glashow, Schnitzer and Weinberg derived a sum rule in the soft pion and soft kaon limit relating the ∆I = 1 2 non-leptonic K → 2π amplitude to integrals over strange and non-strange spectral functions. Using the recent ALEPH data from τ -decay, we show that the sum rule, slightly modified to reduce contributions near the cut, yields the correct magnitude decay amplitude corresponding to...

In Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking, all dimensionful parameters vanish and the symmetry is broken by loop corrections. Before Coleman-Weinberg symmetry breaking in the Standard Model was experimentally ruled out, it had already been excluded on cosmological grounds. In this Brief Report, the cosmological analysis is carried out for Coleman-Weinberg models with extended Higgs sectors, which a...

We suggest a simple model to describe the reversible field-induced transfer of a single Xe-atom in a scanning tunneling microscope, — the Eigler-switch. The inelasticly tunneling electrons give rise to fluctuating forces on and damping of the Xe-atom resulting in an effective current dependent temperature. The rate of transfer is controlled by the well-known Arrhenius law with this effective te...

Pancakarama therapy is designed to eradicate the vitiated Dosas and the maintain a state of normalacy and equlibrium, which is the fundamental basis of health. Any one of Pancakarama measures can be utilized be utilized singly too to prevent or cure a disease. Vasti Karma is an unique and broad spectrum therapeutic and preventive approach. Lot of emphasis as been given in our classics to Vasti ...

Investigation of the final hadronic state properties of ultrarelativistics pp and Au+Au collisions supplies information on freeze-out conditions at RHIC and possible insights into early stages of these collisions. A variety of particle spectra measured by STAR are studied within the framework of chemical and local kinetic equlibrium models. Here we present the extracted chemical and final kinet...

A recent work of Schmidt and Springborg on one-dimensional chains of metal atoms has prompted us to use a quantum-chemical model, posed in terms of dimer potential energy curves, to analyze equlibrium near-neighbour distances r0 as a function of local coordination number c. For five monoatomic metal atoms, H, K, Al, Pb and Bi, values of r0 are available for three or more different lattices. The...

We present and explore a novel mathematical model of the epidemiology of Rift Valley Fever (RVF). RVF is an Old World, mosquito-borne disease affecting both livestock and humans. The model is an ordinary differential equation model for two populations of mosquito species, those that can transmit vertically and those that cannot, and for one livestock population. We analyze the model to find the...
