Fermion and Higgs masses as probes of unified theories

The effects of Yukawa couplings of order of the gauge couplings in the SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) renormalization group equations governing the evolution of observable parameters such as $\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>b</mtext>}}\text{m}{}_{\mathrm{\tau }}$ and the Higgs mass are studied systematically to one-loop order. These parameters are found to give useful constraints on the mass of the t quark, and of possible heavier fermion families, in theories with SU(5)-like boundary conditions at unification energies.     

Cholesterol supports headgroup superlattice domain formation in fluid phospholipid/cholesterol bilayers

Fluorescence and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic techniques were used to explore the effect of added cholesterol on the composition-dependent formation of putative phospholipid headgroup superlattices in fluid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol (POPE/POPC/CHOL) bilayers. Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy measurements of diphenylhexatriene (DPH) chain-labeled phosphatidylcholine (DPH-PC) revealed significant dips at several POPE-to-phospholipid mole fractions (X(PE)'s) when the cholesterol-to-lipid mole fraction (X(CHOL)) was fixed at 0.00, 0.35, 0.40, and 0.50. Most of the observed dips occur at or close to critical X(PE)'s predicted by the Headgroup Superlattice (SL) model, suggesting that phospholipid headgroups of different structures tend to adopt regular distributions even in the presence of cholesterol. Time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy measurements revealed that DPH-PC senses a disordered and highly mobile microenvironment in the POPE/POPC/CHOL bilayers at those critical X(PE)'s, indicating that this probe may partition to defect regions in the bilayers. The presence of coexisting packing defect regions and regularly distributed SL domains is a key feature predicted by the Headgroup SL model. Importantly, probe-free FTIR measurements of acyl chain C-H, interfacial carbonyl, and headgroup phosphate stretching peak frequencies revealed the presence of abrupt changes at X(PE)'s close to those observed in the fluorescence data. When X(PE) was varied from 0.60 to 0.72 and X(CHOL) from 0.34 to 0.46, a clear dip at the lipid composition coordinates (X(PE), X(CHOL)) approximately (0.68, 0.40) was observed in the three-dimensional surface plots of DPH-PC anisotropy as well as the carbonyl and phosphate stretching frequencies. The critical X(CHOL) at 0.40 agrees with the Cholesterol SL model, which assumes that cholesterol and phospholipid form SL domains at the lipid acyl chain level. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that cholesterol supports formation of phospholipid headgroup SLs in fluid state ternary lipid bilayers. The feasibility of the parallel existence of SLs at the lipid headgroup and acyl chain levels supports the relevance of the lipid SL model for the membranes of eukaryotic cells that typically contain significant amounts of cholesterol. We speculate that lipid SL formation may play a central role in the regulation of membrane lipid compositions, maintenance of organelle boundaries, and other crucial phenomena in those cells.     

A generalization of regular convolutions and Ramanujan sums

Adults’ Perceptions of Children's Science Abilities and Interest After Participating in a Family Science Night

The goal of this research was to examine adults’ and children's perceptions of participating in a family science night event, especially in the context of parental belief about children's science abilities. Family science nights are becoming increasingly popular and are used in a wide range of settings. During family science nights, adults and students jointly engaged in a variety of science activities. Results revealed that adults, 90% of whom were parents of attending students, reported learning more about children's interests and abilities in science. Students also agreed that that the adults had learned more about their abilities and interests. Personal characteristics of adults and children, such as gender and ethnicity, were not found to have any relationship to ratings.     

Correlation of Moments and Critical Phenomenon in Disassembly of Hot Nuclei

We used Monte Carlo method to generate the configurations of disassembly of hot nucleus Au* based on the Atomic Mass Table and the conservation of mass and charge number.The resulted charge distribution of fragments was then used to calculate the conditional moments.The logarithm correlation between second and third moments of experimental charge distribution is very well reproduced by theory.It seems that no connection to the critical phenomenon of concerned system exists.     

THE EFFECT OF THE FREEZE-OUT VOLUME IN THE MULTIFRAGMENTATION OF VERY HOT NUCLEAR REMNANT

In this paper a simplified method for the calculation of average Coulomb energy in statistical model of the disassembly processes of hot nuclei is proposed.The effect of freeze-out volume is studied based on the assumption of Gaussion-like distribution.It is indecated that the centre and dispersion of Gaussion-like distribution somewhat reflect the location and the renge of liquid-gas coexistence phase.     

THE EVIDENCE OF DECONFINEMENT PHASE TRANSITION OF SU(2) LATTICE GAUGE MODEL BY MONTE CARLO METHOD

In this paper,we have calculated the SU(2) lattice gauge by the Monte Carlo method.For the finite temperature problem 8³×4 lattice is used and for the zero temperature problem 8⁴ lattice.From the calculations of the energy density,heat capacity and entropy density,the results indicate that there is a deconfinement phase transition when T/Λ_L=40—50.
