Coherence effects in deep inelastic scattering

A superfield action for the relativistic massless superparticle as a spinning particle is presented in the new gauge. The symmetries in the relativistic superparticle theory, that is to say, the invariances under, the reparametrization and the local supersymmetry-transformation in the parameter space, are manifest in this formalism. It is clear how these two kinds of transformations descend from a unified origin to be called “super-reparametrization”, which is a restricted form of the general coordinate transformation in the superspace. The action is manifestly invariant under these transformation by its constructions The minimal coupling with electromagnetic field is also constructed in the superfield formalism, and a manifestly invariant superfield action for the interacting superparticle is presented in our gauge. The formalism is extended to the construction of an action for theN=2 superparticle.     

A new material for hydrogen storage; ScAl0.8Mg0.2

A novel aluminium rich alloy for hydrogen storage has been discovered, ScAl_0.8Mg_0.2, which has very promising properties regarding hydrogen storage capacity, kinetics and stability towards air oxidation in comparison to hydrogen absorption in state-of-the-art intermetallic compounds. The absorption of hydrogen was found to be very fast, even without adding any catalyst, and reversible. The discovered alloy crystallizes in a CsCl-type structure, but decomposes to ScH₂ and Al(Mg) during hydrogen absorption. Detailed analysis of the hydrogen absorption in ScAl_0.8Mg_0.2 has been performed using in situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, neutron powder diffraction and quantum mechanical calculations. The results from theory and experiments are in good agreement with each other.     

Mass transfer to blood flowing through arterial stenosis

The present investigation deals with a mathematical model representing the mass transfer to blood streaming through the arteries under stenotic condition. The mass transport refers to the movement of atherogenic molecules, that is, blood-borne components, such as oxygen and low-density lipoproteins from flowing blood into the arterial walls or vice versa. The blood flowing through the artery is treated to be Newtonian and the arterial wall is considered to be rigid having differently shaped stenoses in its lumen arising from various types of abnormal growth or plaque formation. The nonlinear unsteady pulsatile flow phenomenon unaffected by concentration-field of the macromolecules is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations together with the equation of continuity while that of mass transfer is controlled by the convection-diffusion equation. The governing equations of motion accompanied by appropriate choice of the boundary conditions are solved numerically by MAC(Marker and Cell) method and checked numerical stability with desired degree of accuracy. The quantitative analysis carried out finally includes the respective profiles of the flow-field and concentration along with their distributions over the entire arterial segment as well. The key factors like the wall shear stress and Sherwood number are also examined for further qualitative insight into the flow and mass transport phenomena through arterial stenosis. The present results show quite consistency with several existing results in the literature which substantiate sufficiently to validate the applicability of the model under consideration.     

Transition between Airy1 and Airy2 processes and TASEP fluctuations

We consider the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process, a model in the KPZ universality class. We focus on the fluctuations of particle positions, starting with certain deterministic initial conditions. For large time t, one has regions with constant and linearly decreasing density. The fluctuations on these two regions are given by the Airy₁ and Airy₂ processes, whose one‐point distributions are the GOE and GUE Tracy‐Widom distributions of random matrix theory. In this paper we analyze the transition region between these two regimes and obtain the transition process. Its one‐point distribution is a new interpolation between GOE and GUE edge distributions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Elution order in liquid chromatography on cyclodextrin phases. Dependence on the amount of organic modifier in the eluent

Summary The composition of the eluent system in some instances determines the resolution and elution order of solutes in the reversed-phase chromatographic separation on cyclodextrin stationary phases. Both the identity and the concentration of the organic modifier can play a large role. The effect is particularly pronounced with naphthalene and its methyl derivatives with alcohol eluents.

Isospin selection rules for real photons observed in the6Li(γ,d) reaction

The high spin structure of the nucleus¹²⁹Ba has been investigated using a¹⁸O induced reaction. The known bands could be followed up to a maximum spin (55/2) ?. Some 56 states and 78 transitions could be placed in the level scheme. Band crossings were established in both positive and negative parity structures. They display features of strong polarization effects due to the alignment of h_11/2 protons.
