Three-dimensional integrable models and associated tangle invariants

In this paper we show that the Boltzmann weights of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model give representations of the braid group if some suitable spectral limits are taken. In the trigonometric case we classify all possible spectral limits which produce braid group representations. Furthermore, we prove that for some of them we get cyclotomic invariants of links and for others we obtain tangle invariants generalizing the cyclotomic ones.     

Membrane lipid domains and dynamics as detected by Laurdan fluorescence

2-Dimethylamino-6-lauroylnaphthalene (Laurdan) is a membrane probe of recent characterization, which shows high sensitivity to the polarity of its environment. Steady-state Laurdan excitation and emission spectra have different maxima and shape in the two phospholipid phases, due to differences in the polarity and in the amount of dipolar relaxation. In bilayers composed of a mixture of gel and liquid-crystalline phases, the properties of Laurdan excitation and emission spectra are intermediate between those obtained in the pure phases. These spectral properties are analyzed using the generalized polarization (GP). TheGP value can be used for the quantitation of each phase. The wavelength dependence of theGP value is used to ascertain the coexistence of different phase domains in the bilayer. Moreover, by following the evolution of Laurdan emission vs. time after excitation, the kinetics of phase fluctuation in phospholipid vesicles composed of coexisting gel and liquid-crystalline phases was determined.GP measurements performed in several cell lines did not give indications of coexistence of phase domains in their membranes. In natural membranes, Laurdan parameters indicate a homogeneously fluid environment, with restricted molecular motion in comparison with the phospholipid liquid-crystalline phase. The influence of cholesterol on the phase properties of the two phospholipid phases is proposed to be the cause of the phase behavior observed in natural membranes. In bilayers composed of different phospholipids and various cholesterol concentrations, Laurdan response is very similar to that arising from cell membranes. In the absence of cholesterol, from the steady-state and time-resolved measurements of Laurdan in phospholipid vesicles, the condition for the occurrence of separate coexisting domains in the bilayer has been determined: the molecular ratio between the two phases must be in the range between 30% and 70%. Below and above this range, a single homogeneous phase is observed, with the properties of the more concentrated phase, slightly modified by the presence of the other. Moreover, in this concentration range, the calculated dimension of the domains is very small, between 20 and 50 Å.     

Similarity Solutions for Generalized Variable Coefficients Zakharov-Kuznetsov Equation under Some Integrability Conditions

In this paper, the symmetry method has been carried over to the generalized variable coefficients Zakharov- Kuznetsov equation. The infinitesimal symmetries and the optimal system are deduced and from this optimal system seven basic fields are determined, and for every vector field in the optimal system the admissible forms of the coefficients are found and this also leads us to transform the given equation into partial differential equations in two variables. After using some referenced transformations the mentioned partial differential equations eventually reduce to ordinary differential equations. The search for solutions to those equations has yielded many exact solutions in most cases.     

Hawking radiation of Weyl neutrinos in a rectilinearly non—uniformly accelerating Kinnersley black hole

The quantum thermal effect of Weyl neutrinos in a rectilinearly non-uniformly accelerating Kinnersley black hole is investigated using the generalized tortoise coordinate transformation.The equations that determine the location,the Hawking temperature of the event horizon and the thermal radiation spectrum of neutrinos are derived.Our results show that the location and the temperature of the event horizon depend not only on the time but also on the angle.

In this paper,we consider a possible modification of the de Sitter and anti-de Sitter space for the extended uncertainty principle.For the modified anti-de Sitter model we discuss the representation and wave functions of the momentum operator for a one-dimensional box problem.Also,we consider modified Snyder and anti-Snyder models for the generalized uncertainty principle.Then,we assume the Hamiltonian with different potential and solve the Heisenberg algebra for the modified(anti)-de Sitter and(anti)-Snyder models in both position and in the momentum space.     

A meshless method for the nonlinear generalized regularized long wave equation

This paper presents a meshless method for the nonlinear generalized regularized long wave(GRLW) equation based on the moving least-squares approximation.The nonlinear discrete scheme of the GRLW equation is obtained and is solved using the iteration method.A theorem on the convergence of the iterative process is presented and proved using theorems of the infinity norm.Compared with numerical methods based on mesh,the meshless method for the GRLW equation only requires the scattered nodes instead of meshing the domain of the problem.Some examples,such as the propagation of single soliton and the interaction of two solitary waves,are given to show the effectiveness of the meshless method.     

On Form Invariance,Lie Symmetry,and Three Kinds of Conserved Quantities of Generalized Lagrange's Equations

In this paper, the form invariance and the Lie symmetry of Lagrange's equations for nonconservative system in generalized classical mechanics under the infinitesimal transformations of group are studied, and the Noether's conserved quantity, the new form conserved quantity, and the Hojman's conserved quantity of system are derived from them. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.

Laurdan and Prodan as Polarity-Sensitive Fluorescent Membrane Probes

The steady-state and dynamic fluorescence spectral properties of 2-dimethylamino-6-lauroylnaphthalene (LAURDAN) and several other naphthalene derivatives are summarized to illustrate their sensitivity to the polarity of the environment. Results obtained both in solvents of different polarity and in phospholipid vesicles in two phase states are presented. The emission red shift observed in polar solvents and in the phospholipid liquid–crystalline phase is explained on the basis of dipolar relaxation of solvent molecules surrounding the fluorescent naphthalene moiety of these probes. In phospholipid environments, experimental evidence is shown that excludes the intramolecular relative reorientation of the dimethylamino and carbonyl groups in the naphthalene and the reorientation of the entire fluorescent moiety. The solvent dipolar relaxation observed for LAURDAN and PRODAN in phospholipid bilayers has been attributed to a small number of water molecules present at the membrane interface. A comparison between LAURDAN emission in phospholipid vesicles prepared in D₂O and in H₂O is also presented. The definition and the derivation of the generalized polarization function are also discussed.
