In this paper we use the conformal anomaly in QCD to derive the coupling of light radion to gluons in the Randall-Sundrum model and use it to compute the radion production cross section at hadron colliders by gluon fusion. We find that the radion production cross section by gluon fusion at LHC would exceed that of the higgs boson by a factor that lies between 7 and 8 over most of the range. The...

Compression mode giant resonances have been measured in many nuclei from C to Pb with inelastic scattering of 240 MeV particles at small angles. Isoscalar monopole distributions have been extracted for 17 nuclei and isoscalar dipole distributions extracted for 11 nuclei. The E0 strength distributions in Zr, Sn, Sm and Pb have been measured precisely and in Sn, Sm and Pb were found to be concent...

A lattice regularization of the Standard Model (SM) is necessary not only to establish the existence of chiral gauge theories outside perturbation theory, but also to understand various properties of the fermion mass generation by spontaneous symmetry breaking such as, for instance, the upper bounds on top and Higgs masses[1]. For this purpose it is sufficient to study the fermionscalar sector ...

RFC 4601 mandates the use of IPsec to ensure authentication of the link-local messages in the Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) routing protocol. This document specifies mechanisms to authenticate the PIM-SM link-local messages using the IP security (IPsec) Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) or (optionally) the Authentication Header (AH). It specifies optional mechanisms to ...

A review of recent results of searches for rare decays with new physics sensitivity from the analysis of the data recorded at the BABAR experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center PEP-II B-Factory, is presented. In particular, results of searches for the Standard Model (SM) rare B meson decays, such as B → γγ and B → Kν ¯ ν, as well as for the SM forbidden lepton and baryon number viol...

We report a polarization diversity detection scheme for optical coherence tomography with a new, custom, miniaturized fiber coupler with single mode (SM) fiber inputs and polarization maintaining (PM) fiber outputs. The SM fiber inputs obviate matching the optical lengths of the X and Y OCT polarization channels prior to interference and the PM fiber outputs ensure defined X and Y axes after in...

The optimisation by Genetic Algorithm (GA) of a non-linear autopilot for ship course changing is studied in this paper. The theory of the optimisation technique is presented from its basis in Darwinian evolution to the development of the form of optimisation algorithm used in the application. This application involves a Sliding Mode (SM) controller for use as a course changing autopilot for a s...

OBJECTIVE To compare the in-vitro efficiency of dual-switching monopolar (DSM) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) using a separable clustered electrode (Octopus® electrodes) with consecutive monopolar (CM) and switching monopolar (SM) RFA techniques to create an ablative zone in the explanted bovine liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS For DSM-RFA, we used a prototype, three-channel, dual generator RFA Un...

Abstract—Multiphase Induction Machine (IM) is normally controlled using rotor field oriented vector control. Under phase(s) loss, the machine currents can be optimally controlled to satisfy certain optimization criteria. In this paper we discuss the performance of double manifold sliding mode observer (DM-SMO) in Sensorless control of multiphase induction machine under unsymmetrical condition (...

BACKGROUND Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a major public health problem. Early diagnosis of MDR-TB patients is essential for minimizing the risk of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) transmission. The conventional drug susceptibility testing (DST) methods for detection of drug-resistant M. tuberculosis are laborious and cannot provide the rapid detection for clinical practice. MET...
