One of the most efficient mechanisms for producing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is the decay of scalar condensates in a SUSY GUT as was first suggested by Affleck and Dine. We show that given a large enough asymmetry, the baryon number will be preserved down to low temperatures even if B − L = 0, because the baryon number carrying scalars form bose condensates that give the W a mass. We...

Dermal ridges express patterns of asymmetry and polarization across the fingers that can characterize human populations. They are also known somatic markers of teratogenic insults. This study documents the asymmetry and pattern polarization of dermal ridges among the Ogoni people of Nigeria. Ink prints of the fingers were obtained from 406 apparently healthy Ogoni subjects and dermal ridge patt...

Human listeners hear an asymmetry in the perception of damped and ramped sinusoids; the partial loudness of the envelope component is greater than the partial loudness of the carrier component for damped sinusoids. Here we show that an asymmetry also occurs in the physiological responses of most units in the ventral cochlear nucleus to these same sounds. The activity elicited by damped sinusoid...

Introduction: We undertook axial surface mapping of selected wrinkle ridges on Solis Planum, Mars in order to assess the subsurface geometry of blind thrusts proposed to exist beneath them. This work builds on previous work [1] that defined structural families of wrinkle ridges based on their surface morphology in this region. Although a growing consensus exists for models of wrinkle ridge kine...

We analyse the CP asymmetry of the B → φK S process in general supersymmetric models. In the framework of the mass insertion approximation, we derive model independent limits for the mixing CP asymmetry. We show that chromomagnetic type of operator may play an important role in accounting for the deviation of the mixing CP asymmetry between B → φK S and B → J/ψK S processes observed by Belle an...

We analyze the partial rate asymmetry in B ± → P ¯ P π ± decays (P = π + , K + , π 0 , η) which results from the interference of the nonresonant decay amplitude and the resonant amplitude for B ± → χc0π ± followed by the decay χc0 → P ¯ P. The CP violating phase γ can be extracted from the measured asymmetry. We find that the partial rate asymmetry for B ± → π + π − π ± is 0.33 sinγ, while for ...
