We construct XX-and Hubbard-like models based on unitary superalgebras gl(N |M) generalising Shastry's and Maassarani's approach of the algebraic case. We introduce the R-matrix of the gl(N |M) XX model and that of the Hubbard model defined by coupling two independent XX models. In both cases, we show that the R-matrices satisfy the Yang–Baxter equation, we derive the corresponding local Hamilt...

Quasiparticle thermal conductivity in the vortex state of high-T c cuprates. Abstract We present the results of a microscopic calculation of the longitudinal thermal conductivity, κ xx , of a d-wave superconductor in the mixed state. Our results show an increase in the thermal conductivity with the applied field at low temperatures, and a decrease followed by a nearly field independent κ xx (H)...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between two genetic polymorphisms (PvuII and XbaI restriction fragment length polymorphisms, RFLPs) of the estrogen receptor-alpha (ER1) gene and the quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters at the calcaneus. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Two hundred and sixty-six Korean vegetarian men, mean age 50.9+/-12.0 years (range 26-80), wer...

Medaka, Oryzias latipes, has a firm XX-XY sex-determining system with the sex-determining gene, DMY, on the Y chromosome. However, previous studies have suggested that high water temperature might affect sex determination in Medaka. In the present study, the influence of high water temperature on sex reversal was examined. Fertilized eggs of two inbred strains of Medaka were developed at high w...

Optical lattice formed by counter propagating laser beams provides us a new platform to study condensed matter physics. Cold atoms moving in an optical lattice could be described by BoseHubbard Model. By controlling laser intensity, we could change interaction and tunneling strength at will. Thus, different quantum phases could occur in optical lattice. In this review, I will give an overview o...

We report on the diamagnetic responses of different exciton complexes in single InAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and quantum rings (QRs). For QDs, the imbalanced magnetic responses of inter-particle Coulomb interactions play a crucial role in the diamagnetic shifts of excitons (X), biexcitons (XX), and positive trions (X-). For negative trions (X-) in QDs, anomalous magnetic response...
