We study the giant magnon solutions in the near horizon geometry of the Neveu-Schwarz (NS) 5-brane background. In conformal gauge, we find magnon dispersion relation in the large angular momentum (J) limit. We further show that the giant magnon poses uniform distribution of the angular momentum along the string world-sheet as in case of AdS5 × S5 spacetime.

Despite common belief, Baby Boomers form a sizable population of gamers. Paying attention to how this generation experiences a game can help companies that target this group of users increase their market share. To address this need, this study examines Baby Boomers’ reaction to a new way of manipulating objects in a game, namely with their eyes. In particular, the study focuses on testing the ...

The phase field method integrates the Griffith theory and damage mechanics approach to predict crack initiation, propagation, and branching within one framework. No crack tracking topology is needed, and complex crack shapes can be captures without user intervention. In this paper, a detailed description of how the phase field method is implemented with explicit dynamics into LS-DYNA is provide...

We analyze the energy and angular momenta of the two-spin spiky string moving on the AdS3×S with NS-NS field. Due to the infinite boundary of the AdS spacetime the solution will extend to infinity and it appears the divergences. After adding the counter terms we then obtain the dispersion relation of the corresponding giant magnon and see how the background field produces the correction terms. ...

In [BKT11] Baba, Kotyada and Teja introduced the FACTOR problem over non-abelian groups as base of an ElGamal-like cryptosystem. They conjectured that there is no better method than the naive one to solve the FACTOR problem in a general group. Shortly afterwards Stanek published an extension of the baby-step giant-step algorithm disproving this conjecture [Sta11]. Since baby-step giant-step met...

A survey was conducted on 210 Baby Boomers (Age mean = 51.4 Std. dev. 5.46) within the United States to determine their current use of online technology in social interactions, their preferences in these interactions, and the expectations they have of near-future online communication technologies. The findings highlight the importance of online communication in their lives and spotlight their w...

We present a simple procedure to construct non-local conserved charges for classical open strings on coset spaces. This is done by including suitable reflection matrices on the classical transfer matrix. The reflection matrices must obey certain conditions for the charges to be conserved and in involution. We then study bosonic open strings on AdS5×S. We consider boundary conditions correspondi...
