35 years old male patient presented clinically with progressive lower limb weakness and impotence of 3 years duration, disturbance of micturation with few drops of urine passing without the patient control was a prominent symptom. On examination the patient had atrophy of the anterior tibial group of muscles on the right side, with bilateral spasticity in both lower limbs and a sensory level at...

Magnetic island equilibria resulting from reconnection in magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations are explored in a two-dimensional slab geometry. Magnetic islands are evolved to finite amplitude with a nonzero resistivity. The resistivity and flows are then set to zero and the system is allowed to relax toward equilibrium. A y-type singular current layer in the equilibrium state is identified fo...

We study the dynamics of D-particles (D0-branes) in type I' string theory and of the corresponding states in the dual heterotic description. We account for the presence of the two 8-orientifolds (8 dimensional orientifold planes) and sixteen D8-branes by deriving the appropriate quantum mechanical system. We recover the familiar condition of eight D8-branes for each 8-orientifold. We investigat...

The sample was prepared by dissolving 0.0063 g of TEMPAMINE (4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1oxyl; Aldrich, 163945) in 1 mL of d8-toluene, 0.33 mL of which was further diluted to 1 mL and from that, a 0.1 mL alliquot was added to a solution of 0.039 g deuterated polystyrene (Polymer Source, P4179B-dPS, Mn = 200×10 and Mw/Mn = 1.4) in 0.9 mL of d8-toluene. The resulting solution was spun ...

We study the relation between the D8-branes wrapped on an orientable compact manifold W in a massive Type IIA supergravity background and the M9-branes wrapped on a compact manifold Z in a massive d=11 supergravity background from the K-theoretic point of view. By speculationg on the use of the dimensional reduction to relate the two theories in different dimensions and by interpreting the D8-b...

We describe three analytic classes of infinitely many AdS(d) supersymmetric solutions of massive IIA supergravity, for d=7,5,4. The three classes are related by simple universal maps. For example, the AdS(7)×M(3) solutions (where M(3) is topologically S(3)) are mapped to AdS(5)×Σ(2)×M(3)', where Σ(2) is a Riemann surface of genus g≥2 and the metric on M(3)' is obtained by distorting M(3) in a c...
