Positively-deflected anomaly mediation

We generalize the so-called “deflected anomaly mediation” scenario to the case where threshold corrections of heavy messengers to the sparticle squared-masses are positive. A concrete model realizing this scenario is also presented. The tachyonic slepton problem can be fixed with only a pair of messengers. The resultant sparticle mass spectrum is quite different from that in the conventional de...

Service limit state resistance factors for drilled shafts

The analysis of bored piles, or drilled shafts, at the service limit state is important when foundation settlements are critical to the operation of a structure. The t–z method is a widely used soil–structure interaction model for the analysis of drilled shaft settlement. In current practice, nominal values of soil stiffness and strength parameters are used to determine settlement based upon th...

Hair Shafts

L. Rudnicka et al. (eds.), Atlas of Trichoscopy, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4471-4486-1_2, © Springer-Verlag London 2012 Most hairs viewed on trichoscopy are normal terminal hairs that are more than 55 m m wide and are uniform in thickness and color [ 1, 2 ] . Hair shaft thickness may be roughly estimated with a handheld dermoscope (thin, normal, thick). Many videodermoscopes include software allowing a...

Minimal Deflected Anomaly Mediation

I provide a minimal method for generating a mu term and positive slepton masses within the framework of anomaly mediation. I introduce a new operator involving a hidden sector U(1) gauge field which is then canceled against a Giudice-Masiero-like μ term. No new flavor violating operators are allowed. This procedure produces viable electroweak symmetry breaking in the Higgs sector. Only a single...
