A collection of invited articles from the 27th International Liquid Crystal Conference

Invited talk presented at the 27th International Conference on High Energy Physics

I discuss the theoretical uncertainties in the extraction of |Vcb| from a measurement of the B̄ → Dl ν̄ decay rate close to zero recoil. In particular, I combine previous estimates of the 1/mQ corrections to the normalization of the hadronic form factor at zero recoil with sum rules derived by Shifman et al. to obtain a new prediction with less uncertainty. I also give a prediction for the slope ...

The 7-th International Liquid Crystal Elastomer Conference

Liquid Crystal Conference

The liquid crystal (LC) filters with hybrid, circular-planar, and circular-homeotropic alignments of the LC layer have been analysed in detail. The exploited alignment of the LC layer assures the uncommon polarizing properties of the filter. We manage to observe that transmissions in such a filter create an orthogonal set. This set may be joined with a spectral component of light by the unique ...

Proceedings of the 27th Princeton conference: preface.

The 27 th Princeton Conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts on April 22 to 24, 2010. This year’s Conference focused on translational research in the field of cerebrovascular disease. Representatives from academia, industry, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the FDA participated in the robust discussion. The invited speakers were required to present new, late-breaking and often u...
