A nonlinearly realized supersymmetric action describing the invariant couplings of the Goldstino to matter is constructed. Using the Akulov-Volkov Lagrangian, any operator can be made part of a supersymmetric invariant action. Of particular interest are interaction terms which include the product of the Akulov-Volkov Lagrangian with the ordinary matter Lagrangian as well as the coupling of the ...

The increasing sophistication of military systems and decreasing time frame for making decisions make it essential to provide the military commander better quality information faster. With today's technology, messages can traverse several thousand miles in fractions of a second, but hours are lost at either end, both in entering the message into the communications system and in delivering it to...

A generalization of the Akulov-Volkov effective Lagrangian governing the self interactions of the Nambu-Goldstone fermions associated with spontaneously broken extended supersymmetry as well as their coupling to matter is presented and scrutinized. The resulting currents associated with R-symmetry, supersymmetry and space-time translations are constructed and seen to form a supermultiplet struc...

The structure of block-spin embeddings of the U(1) lattice current algebra is described. For an odd number of lattice sites, the inner realizations of the shift automorphism are classified. We present a particular inner shift operator which admits a factorization involving quantum dilogarithms analogous to the results of Faddeev and Volkov.

Private George Sparr, a bugle player in the 36th regiment of foot, 23 years of age, and of a plethoric habit, was, on the 8th of May, 1817, admitted into the regimental hospital, Hilsea. He complained of violent pain in the chest, but most particularly in the right side. The pulse was full, hard, and bounding; the tongue covered with a light brown fur; the skin hot and dry ; the face deeply flu...

investigation. The three diseases mentioned are usually classed together and under the beading of ? Diseases of the Nervous System." The present paper refers chiefly to cborea. A study of the literature of the disease, such as is possible in an isolated Indian station, modified by the observation of a choreic patient, has led to the following remarks. The patient under observation is a girl age...

This paper assesses the reputation of British military medical staff in the 18th century, focusing on the character and professionalism of regimental surgeons and mates who served at the time of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). Examining the careers and contributions of men such as Thomas Dickson Reide, Robert Jackson, and Robert Hamilton reveals that--in contrast to charges of inept...

This paper describes a problem of interdicting/jamming wireless communication networks in uncertain environments. Jamming communication networks is an important problem with many applications, but has received relatively little attention in the literature. Most of the work on network interdiction is focused on preventing jamming and analyzing network vulnerabilities. Here, we consider the case ...

A study of Commander's Intent (CI) in a Command and Control (C2) exercise was performed. The study focused on the performance of a brigade battle group. The highest commander and the battle commander, respectively, considered having transmitted CI to the subordinate commander in a distinct and clear manner. The brigade command considered having transmitted CI somewhat less clearly to their subo...
