The total cross section for p-d breakup is studied in terms of the elastic S–matrix through the unitary condition. Calculations using the complex Kohn variational method along with the Pair Correlated Hyperspherical Harmonic basis are presented. The results have been restricted to energies below E p = 30 MeV where Coulomb effects are expected to be sizable and are compared to the existing data....

We present a catalog of 321 compact radio sources in the declination range 0 > δ > −30. The positions of these sources have been measured with a two–dimensional rms accuracy of 35 milliarcseconds using the NRAOa Very Large Array. Each source has a peak flux density> 50 mJy at 8.4 GHz. We intend for this catalog to be used mainly for selection of phase calibration sources for radio interferomete...

Dual recycling is an advanced optical technique to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio of laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors in a limited bandwidth. To optimise the center of this band with respect to Fourier frequencies of expected gravitational wave signals detuned dual recycling has to be implemented. We demonstrated detuned dual recycling on a fully suspended 30 m prototype in...

This paper reports the successful substrate transfer based on standard IC processing to an alternative substrate e.g. plastic. The device on ultra-thin Si substrate using grinding backside Si and thermo-compression bonding process is proposed. Acceptable electrical performances are achieved means that the substrate transfer process is controlled well. The DC characteristics of nMOSFETs as a fun...

This work extends to six dimensions the idea first proposed by Klein regarding a closed space in the context of a fifth dimension and its link to quantum theory. The main result is a formula that expresses the value of the characteristic length of the sixth dimension in terms of the strength of a magnetic monopole g. Possible consequences of the idea are discussed. It is well known that the wor...

We present the discovery of an L0 companion to the nearby M1.5 dwarf G 239-25, at a projected distance of 31 AU. It is the faintest companion discovered so far in our adaptive optics survey of all known M dwarfs within 12 pc, and it lies at the stellar/substellar limit. Given the assumed age of the primary star, the companion is likely an extremely low mass star. The long orbital period of G 23...

This study evaluated the oral health conditions of 340 children, aged 0-30 months (21.3 +/- 5.6)--54.4% of girls and 45.6% of boys--from 20 public day nurseries of Salvador (Brazil), as to the presence of incipient carious lesions. The exam was carried out by a single examiner, who utilized a mirror, a probe and a penlight. The teeth were wiped with gauzes in order to remove the dental plaque. ...
