The “measurability” of the non-minimal coupling is discussed by considering the correction to the Newtonian static potential in the semi-classical approach. The coefficient of the “gravitational Darwin term” (GDT) gets redefined by the non-minimal torsion scalar couplings. Based on a similar analysis of the GDT in the effective field theory approach to non-minimal scalar we conclude that for re...

Numerous scientific and industrial situations require thermodynamic properties of gas mixtures containing water. Examples include the development of humidity standards (where the dominant correction is the nonideality of water in the vapor phase) and design calculations for the utilization of synthesis and combustion gases in advanced power-generation cycles. In many of these cases, the conditi...

A deep connection between the Hall conductance in realistic situation and a topological invariant is pointed out based on von-Neumann lattice representation in which Landau level electrons have minimum spatial extensions. We show that the Hall conductance has no finite size correction in quantum Hall regime, but a coefficient of induced Chern-Simons term in QED 3 has a small finite size correct...

We calculate the perturbative correction to every cluster coefficient of a gas of anyons through second order in the anyon coupling constant, as described by Chern-Simons field theory.

Single and dual crop coefficient methods are used in conjunction with grass reference evapotranspiration (ETo) to estimate actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc). However, the impact of soil surface residue cover on the accuracy of ETc estimated with these methods is not well understood. The objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the accuracy of the FAO-56 single crop coefficient (sin...

Being aimed at the problem that general steganography algorithms always destroy the original videos after extracting the information, the paper adopts analysis and experiment to propose a BCH robustness method of single coefficient which can restore error bits. Before embedding the data, the method encodes the secret information with BCH and makes use of prediction mode to select special embedd...
