چکیده

For the problem of efficiently supplying material to a spatial region from a single source, we present a simple scaling argument based on branching network volume minimization that identifies limits to the scaling of sink density. We discuss implications for two fundamental and unresolved problems in organismal biology and geomorphology: how basal metabolism scales with body size for homeotherms and the scaling of drainage basin shape on eroding landscapes.

New results on radiative K± decays from the NA48/2 experiment are presented. In the channel K± → π±π0γ more than 1 million decays were reconstructed, leading to the first measurement of the interference between direct photon emission and inner bremsstrahlung and stringent limits on CP violation in this decay. For K → πγγ , a precise measurement of the branching fraction was performed, based on ...

We calculate D+ s → φ transition form factors V , A0, A1 and A2, and study semileptonic decay of D+ s → φl̄ν based on QCD sum rule method. We compare our results of the ratios of V (0)/A1(0), A2(0)/A1(0), ΓL/ΓT , and the total decay branching ratio of D+ s → φl̄ν with experimental data, and find that they are consistent.

In this paper we show that on a general hypersurface of degree r = 3, 4, 5, 6 in P 5 a rank 2 vector bundle E splits if and only if h 1 E(n) = h 2 E(n) = 0 for all n ∈ Z. Similar results for r = 1, 2 were obtained in [15], [16] and [1].
