The one loop supersymmetric electro-weak correction to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon is derived in the minimal N = 1 supergravity unification with two CP violating phases. A numerical analysis of the CP violating effects on gμ−2 is carried out with the cancellation mechanism to guarantee the satisfaction of the experimental limits on the electric dipole moments of the electron and o...

This paper presents a spherical motor driven by electro-magnets that can rotate omnidirectionally with some degrees of rotation angle error independent of rotation direction. The spherical motor is composed of a spherical rotor, a semi-spherical stator, a control PC, a control circuit, and a DC power supply. The rotor has 92 neodymium magnets. On the other hand, 84 electro-magnets are arranged ...

We recently introduced methods to tether phospholipid vesicles or proteoliposomes onto a fluid-supported lipid bilayer using DNA hybridization (Yoshina-Ishii, C.; Miller, G. P.; Kraft, M. L.; Kool, E. T.; Boxer, S. G. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2005, 127, 1356-1357). These intact tethered vesicles diffuse in two dimensions parallel to the supporting membrane surface. In this article, we report the dynam...

In this paper we address the chip-level thermal simulation problem. Our work is based on some early results treating electro-thermal problems on circuit level 11, 22. The developed electro-thermal simulation package has been integrated under Cadence DFWII Opus. Due to its relatively low CPU need this package can be used as a thermal veriication tool of layouts of analog circuits. In our approac...

BACKGROUND It is well established that electro-acupuncture can exert neuroprotection in animal experiments. However, the exact mechanism of electro-acupuncture against ischemic stroke is not very clear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Literature retrieval was performed in four databases (OVID, PUBMED, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science), from respective inception to July 2013. RESULTS Series of studies h...

In this study, soft hydrogel walkers with electro-driven motility for cargo transport have been developed via a facile mould-assisted strategy. The hydrogel walkers consisting of polyanionic poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-co-acrylamide) exhibit an arc looper-like shape with two "legs" for walking. The hydrogel walkers can reversibly bend and stretch via repeated "on/off" electro...

We study symmetry breaking in a left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model with mirror fermions, one for each Standard-Model fermion. The new particles assist a top-quark condensate in breaking electro-weak symmetry. Half of the fermions acquire electro-weak-invariant masses at around 500 GeV and would be probably accessible at future high-energy experiments like LHC or NLC. The contr...

Electro-optic probing of electric fields has been considered as a promising approach for integrated circuit diagnosis. However, the method is subject to relatively weak voltage sensitivity. In this Letter, we solve the problems with electro-acoustic effect. In contrast to the general electro-optic effect, the light phase modulation induced by the acoustic effect is 2 orders of magnitude stronge...

Electro-hydraulic proportional control valves are widely applied for motion control in the electro-hydraulic fluid power system. Normally, a sliding spool is used in the proportional control valve to control the flow direction and flow rate passing through the valve, as a result, the meterin and meter-out orifices are mechanically connected [1]. The sliding spool makes the system robust and eas...

This paper considers the magnetoelectric (ME) effect in Ni/PZT layered ME composites that is related to the preferred crystallographic orientation of electro-deposited Ni layers. The Ni electro-deposition rate increases with applied cathodic current density. High (1 0 0) texture in the Ni layer was obtained at either low or high current densities, which improves the ME composite’s performance. ...
