The Project Life Cycle refers to a logical sequence of activities to accomplish the project’s goals or objectives. Regardless of scope or complexity, any project goes through a series of stages during its life. Project development has increased importance in business due to stiff competition and a fast changing business environment. Its cycle time is critical as it decides the success of a busi...

We study electric–magnetic duality in the chiral ring of a supersymmetric U(Nc) gauge theory with adjoint and fundamental matter, in presence of a general confining phase superpotential for the adjoint and the mesons. We find the magnetic solution corresponding to both the pseudoconfining and higgs electric vacua. By means of the Dijkgraaf–Vafa method, we match the effective glueball superpoten...

Extreme variations of Earth's magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2. No coherent link currently exists between this intensity spike and the global field produced by the core geodynamo. Here we show that the Levantine spike must span >60° longitude at Earth's surface if it originates from the core-mantle bound...

We demonstrate from first principles that when a charge carrier is added to a spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic Mott insulator in either a oneor two-dimensional lattice, the self-consistent, Hartree-Fock ground state consists of a magnetic soliton texture with a doubly degenerate electronic level at the center of the MottHubbard charge gap. This model is appropriate to systems with weak interchain or ...
