In the preceding paper, we derived Coulomb-gas and sine-Gordon Hamiltonians to describe the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition on a fluctuating surface. These Hamiltonians contain couplings to Gaussian curvature not found in a rigid flat surface. In this paper, we derive renormalization-group recursion relations for the sine-Gordon model using field-theoretic techniques developed to study flat spac...

It was perhaps fitting that Lieut.-Colonel Edward Lawrie, should signalise the year of his retirement from the post of R,esidenc\r Surgeon at Hyderabad by the publication of a volume on Chloroform, a subject with which he has been identified for many years past, and in defence of his views on which, and those of his master Syme, he has fought non sine gloria for many }7ears. The introduction to...

This is the second part of the paper devoted to the general proof of canon-icity of Bäcklund transformation (BT) for a Hamiltonian integrable system governed by SL(2)-invariant r-matrix. Introducing an extended phase space from which the original one is obtained by imposing a 1st kind constraint, we are able to prove the canonicity of BT in a new way. The new proof allows to explain naturally t...

Dialog state tracking (DST) is a crucial component in a task-oriented dialog system for conversational information access. A common practice in current dialog systems is to define the dialog state by a set of slot-value pairs. Such representation of dialog states and the slot-filling based DST have been widely employed, but suffer from three drawbacks. (1) The dialog state can contain only a si...

We classify all twist-even squeezed states in string field theory which are diagonal in the κ-basis and simultaneously surface states. For this purpose, we derive a consistency condition for the maps defining κ-diagonal surface states. It restricts these maps to a two-parameter family of Jacobi sine functions. Not all of them are admissible maps for surface states; standard requirements single ...

Short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) are highly abundant, RNA polymerase III-transcribed noncoding retrotransposons that are silenced in somatic cells but activated during certain stresses including viral infection. How these induced SINE RNAs impact the host-pathogen interaction is unknown. Here we reveal that during murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) infection, rapidly induced SINE RNA...

This paper describes a method for estimating the attitude of an underwater robot. The method employs a new concept of sine rotation vector and uses both an attitude heading and reference system (AHRS) and a Doppler velocity log (DVL) for the purpose of measurement. First, the acceleration and magnetic-field measurements are transformed into sine rotation vectors and combined. The combined sine ...
