The 52nd Annual Wind River Conference on Prokaryotic Biology, which was held at the secluded Aspen Lodge only minutes from Estes Park, CO, concluded on 15 June 2008. The Conference, which was first held more than 50 years ago as the Transformation Meeting, was renamed the Wind River Conference on Genetic Exchange (1, 6). Its current name reflects the broader array of topics now represented at t...

We discuss the phase structure of the four dimensional compact U(1) gauge theory at finite temperature using a deformation of the topological model. Its phase structure can be determined by the behavior of the Coulomb gas (CG) system on the cylinder. We utilize the relation between the CG system and the sine-Gordon (SG) model, and investigate the phase structure of the gauge theory in terms of ...

In this paper, we construct new LCZ sequence sets with parameters    . In this scheme, we can relatively freely choose the LCZ length  and the resulting LCZ sequence set has the size , which is nearly optimal with respect to Tang, Fan, and Matsufuji bound. ※ 본 연구는 교육인적자원부, 산업자원부, 노동부의 출연금으로 수행한 최우수실험실지원사업과 정보통신부의 출연금으로 수행하고 있는 과제의 연구결과입니다. * 삼성전자([email protected], stasera@ccl...

Two problems relative to the electromagnetic coupling of Duffin-Kemmer-Petiau (DKP) theory are discussed: the presence of an anomalous term in the Hamiltonian form of the theory and the apparent difference between the Interaction terms in DKP and Klein-Gordon (KG) Lagrangians. For this, we first discuss the behavior of DKP field and its physical components under gauge transformations. From this...

We argue that the root cause behind the recent corporate scandals associated with CEO pay is the technology bubble of the latter half of the 1990s. Far from rejecting the optimal incentive contracting theory of executive compensation, the recent evidence on executive pay can be reconciled with classical agency theory once one expands the framework to allow for speculative stock markets. ∗ We wo...

The influence of spectral inversion on the phase jitter of a soliton propagating in single-channel arbitrary dispersion-managed systems is studied with a semianalytic moment method. The results are similar to those previously observed in constant-dispersion links and show that the transmission-system reach can significantly be increased. © 2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.0060, 0...

The complexified Calogero-Moser spaces appeared in several different contexts in integrable systems, geometry, and representation theory. In this talk, we will describe a criterion for their real loci. The final result is geometric and the proofs are representation theoretic using rational Cherednik algebras. As a consequence, we obtain a second (independent) proof of the Shapiro conjecture for...
