METHODS The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials selected 17 state and large local jurisdictions on the basis of their proximity to federal quarantine stations and collaborated with their state health department legal counsel to conduct formulaic self-assessments of social distancing legal authorities, create tables of authorit...

In this paper, the optimal numbers of gas and hydrogen stations are examined. Recently, the possibility of gasoline vehicles being replaced with fuel cell vehicles (FCV) is being examined in the coming hydrogen society. The realization of this scenario however needs a large number of hydrogen refueling stations, which hardly exist at the present. We first calculate the optimal number of hydroge...

We consider brane configurations in M-theory describing N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. Using the parametric representation of the brane configurations, we calculate the superpotentials for various cases including multiple gauge groups or fermions. For SU(n) N = 1 SQCD with Nf fermion case (Nf < Nc), we find that the superpotential from M-theory and the gauge theory agree precisly. This gi...

For a class of bounded random selfadjoint operators (Lu)(n) =

A formalism is presented where gauge theories for nonabelian groups can be constructed on a noncommutative algebra.

We explore the effect of higher order operators in the non-relativistic formulation of QCD (NRQCD). We calculated masses in the bb̄-spectrum using quenched gauge configurations at β = 6.0 and two different NRQCD actions which have been corrected to order mv and mv. The two-point functions are calculated in a gauge invariant fashion. We find the general structure of the spectrum to be the same in...

We summarize the theory and phenomenology of the Color Glass Condensate reviewed previously by E. Iancu and the author in hep-ph/0303204. In addition, we discuss some of the subsequent developments in the past year both in theory and in phenomenological applications.
