We consider domain walls that appear in supersymmetric QCD with Nf , Nc massive flavors. In particular, for 2Nf , Nc we explicitly construct the domain walls that interpolate between vacua labeled by i and i 1 Nf . We show that these solutions are Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield saturated for any value of the mass of the matter fields. This fact allows us to evaluate the large mass limit of thes...

The main ideas of the book are: ~ The big idea is – know thy impact! Expert teachers are not wedded to specific teaching strategies – rather, they regularly focus on evaluating the effects they have on students, and adjust teaching methods accordingly. ~ When teaching and learning are " visible " – that is, when it is clear what teachers are teaching and what students are learning, student achi...

H13 steel is a widely used hot work die material. A new type of hot working method is imperative to develop complex and precise dies. In this paper, the heat treatment of H13 steel (AISI) was carried out by annealing, the final structure is a point or spherical pearlite, and the grain size is about 30-40 μm. The tensile properties of the annealed microstructure were investigated at 650, 750, an...

In Darwin’s world the user creates robot-like graphical creatures with behavior defined by a simple programming language. These creatures migrate around a small two-dimensional grid, each according to its simple program created by the user. The GUI application that controls and displays the location of these creatures must interpret the program instructions supplied in a simple text file for ea...

Given the increasing uptake of the social network site Facebook, mass communication researchers have begun focusing on what drives people to use the site and what kinds of information they interact with. Perhaps because of the relative novelty of Facebook, little research has scratched beneath the surface to explore why people engage in certain functions the site offers. Attention to these enga...

We study a new type of one-dimensional chiral states that can be created in bilayer graphene (BLG) by electrostatic lateral confinement. These states appear on the domain walls separating insulating regions experiencing the opposite gating polarity. While the states are similar to conventional solitonic zero modes, their properties are defined by the unusual chiral BLG quasiparticles, from whic...

Two-dimensional reversible cellular automata constructions may have utility for modeling problems that entail inherently reversible processes, such as optical propagation. This paper speculates on the potential of methods articulated in A New Kind of Science [1] for addressing inverse problems in optical scatterometry, and then describes preliminary work for two-dimensional reversible cellular ...

The Scrum development process has gained increasing popularity during the last decade. At the same time user experience (UX) has emerged as an important quality feature. However, the integration of UX related activities into Scrum projects has not been without problems, and this area needs to be further examined. This paper describes the results from two in depth interviews with knowledgeable U...

We have obtained mosaic images of NGC 3109 in the V and I bands on 74 nights, spanning approximately one year. From these data, we have conducted an extensive search for Cepheid variables over the entire field of the galaxy, resulting in the discovery of 113 variables with periods ranging from 3.4 to 31.4 days. In this sample, 76 Cepheids, including many long-period variables, were not known be...
