On additional symmetries of the KP hierarchy and Sato's Backlund transformation

A short proof is given to the fact that the additional symmetries of the KP hierarchy defined by their action on pseudodifferential operators according to Fuchssteiner-Chen-Lee-Lin-Orlov-Shulman coincide with those defined by their action on -functions as Sato's Bäcklund transformations. A new simple formula for the generator of additional symmetries is also presented.     

Symplectic structure,Lagrangian, and involutiveness of first integrals of the principal chiral field equation

We deal with a form of the chiral equation, for which first integrals can be written explicitly. For these equations, we find a symplectic structure, the Lagrangian and first integrals in involution.     

The 93Nb(p,d)92Nb reaction at 26.3 MeV

The ⁹³Nb(p, d)⁹²Nb reaction was studied at a proton energy of 26.3 MeV. Angular distributions were obtained for outgoing deuterons to 37 states in ⁹²Nb up to an excitation energy of 4.2 MeV. The results were compared with DWBA calculations to extract l-values and spectroscopic factors. Fourteen previously unobserved l = 1 transitions were measured.     

Dysregulation of Na+/K+ ATPase by amyloid in APP+PS1 transgenic mice

Background  

The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is comprised of extracellular amyloid plaques, intracellular tau tangles, dystrophic neurites and neurodegeneration. The mechanisms by which these various pathological features arise are under intense investigation. Here, expanding upon pilot gene expression studies, we have further analyzed the relationship between Na+/K+ ATPase and amyloid using APP+PS1 transgenic mice, a model that develops amyloid plaques and memory deficits in the absence of tangle formation and neuronal or synaptic loss.     

System feasibility study of a microwave/millimeter-wave radar for space debris tracking

A 35 GHz millimeter-wave radar system has been studied for space debris tracking. The objective is to track the particles ranging in size from 4 mm to 80 mm up to a range of 25 km. The system requires various state-of-the-art technologies including phased arrays, monopulse tracking, pulse compression, high power transmitters, low noise receivers, and pulse integration signal processing techniques.
