A Gauge Theoretical View of the Charge Concept in Einstein Gravity

We will discuss some analogies between internal gauge theories and gravity in order to better understand the charge concept in gravity. A dimensional analysis of gauge theories in general and a strict definition of elementary, monopole, and topological charges are applied to electromagnetism and to teleparallelism, a gauge theoretical formulation of Einstein gravity. As a result we inevitably find that the gravitational coupling constant has dimension /l ², the mass parameter of a particle dimension /l, and the Schwarzschild mass parameter dimension l (where l means length). These dimensions confirm the meaning of mass as elementary and as monopole charge of the translation group, respectively. In detail, we find that the Schwarzschild mass parameter is a quasi–electric monopole charge of the time translation whereas the NUT parameter is a quasi–magnetic monopole charge of the time translation as well as a topological charge. The Kerr parameter and the electric and magnetic charges are interpreted similarly. We conclude that each elementary charge of a Casimir operator of the gauge group is the source of a (quasi-electric) monopole charge of the respective Killing vector.     

宇宙线天体物理研究进展

由于天体粒子物理涉及的研究领域太宽,本文拟以宇宙线总的能谱特征为线索,分段介绍各能区的研究前沿,总结有关宇宙线的起源、传播和成分的理论模型和相应的观测实验进展,并简要介绍相关的高能领域,例如γ暴(GRB),中微子,暗物质,超对称(SUSY),大统一理论(GUT)。这些理论在某种程度上暗示着极高能宇宙线的产生机制,并可能意味着需要新的超出标准粒子物理模型的理论来解释GZK截断(GZK Cutoff)的疑难问题。对高能天体物理的研究可以拓宽人类对早期宇宙的认识,为新物理理论模型提供检验的证据,为人类认识自然提供了另一扇窗口。

On geometric quantization of the Dirac magnetic monopole

We give a simple derivation of the spectrum of the Dirac magnetic monopole on a unit sphere S² based on geometric quantization and the Frobenius reciprocity formula. The starting point is the calculation by Novikov and Schmelzer of the canonical symplectic structure on the coadjoint orbits of the isometry group of 3-dimensional Euclidean space E(3), which showed the appearance of the Dirac magnetic term.     

Applications of polydimethylsiloxane in analytical chemistry: A review

Silicones have innumerable applications in many areas of life. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), which belongs to the class of silicones, has been extensively used in the field of analytical chemistry owing to its favourable physicochemical properties. The use of PDMS in analytical chemistry gained importance with its application as a stationary phase in gas chromatographic separations. Since then it has been used in many sample preparation techniques such as solid phase microextraction (SPME), stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE), thin-film extraction, permeation passive sampling, etc. Further, it is gaining importance in the manufacturing of lab-on-a-chip devices, which have revolutionized bio-analysis. Applications of devices containing PDMS and used in the field of analytical chemistry are reviewed in this paper.
