The γ-trace anomaly of supersymmetry current in a supersymmetric gauge theory shares a superconformal anomaly multiplet with the chiral R-symmetry anomaly and the Weyl anomaly, and its holographic reproduction is a valuable test to the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. We investigate how the γ-trace anomaly of the supersymmetry current of N = 1 four-dimensional su-persymmetric gauge theory in ...

Analysis of the radio-metric tracking data from the Pioneer 10/11 spacecraft at distances between 20–70 astronomical units (AU) from the Sun has consistently indicated the presence of an anomalous, small, constant Doppler frequency drift. The drift is a blue-shift, uniformly changing with rate at = (2.92 ± 0.44) × 10 −18 s/s. It can also be interpreted as a constant acceleration of aP = (8.74±1...

Some features of the Pioneer anomaly are discussed in context of author’s explanation of this effect as a deceleration of the probes in the graviton background. It is noted that if the model is true then the best parameter of the anomalous acceleration should be not the distance to the Sun but a cosine of the angle between a velocity of the probe and its radius-vector. As it was reported by the...

S U M M A R Y Rayleigh wave phase velocities and azimuth anomalies in the period range of 30–100 s are measured for a set of four triangular arrays of broad-band seismometers in coastal northeastern USA. This is a region in which a strong upper mantle slow shear velocity anomaly (a ‘New England Anomaly’), crosses the continental margin. Earthquakes from a wide range of directions are used to de...

We present a simple general framework for realistic models of supersymmetry breaking driven by anomaly mediation. We consider a 5-dimensional ‘brane universe’ where the visible and hidden sectors are localized on different branes, and the standard model gauge bosons propagate in the bulk. In this framework there can be charged scalar messengers that have contact interactions with the hidden sec...

OBJECTIVE Firstly, to assess the completeness of ascertainment in the National Congenital Anomaly System (NCAS), the basis for congenital anomaly surveillance in England and Wales, and its variation by defect, geographical area, and socioeconomic deprivation. Secondly, to assess the impact of the lack of data on pregnancies terminated because of fetal anomaly. DESIGN Comparison of the NCAS wi...

We have made an analysis of the gel electrophoretic properties of a pseudo-cruciform fragment, a linear DNA molecule containing a stable cruciform. The migration of this construct was analysed in polyacrylamide gels at a various temperatures in the range 5 degrees to 55 degrees C, and in the presence of NaCl, MgCl2 or ethidium bromide. The magnitude of the anomalous migration (retardation) was ...

Anomalies of precipitation, cloud, thermodynamic, and radiation variables are analyzed on the large spatial scale defined by the tropical oceans. In particular, relationships between the mean tropical oceanic precipitation anomaly and radiative anomalies are examined. It is found that tropical mean precipitation is well correlated with cloud properties and radiative fields. In particular, the t...
