Recently a correspondence between non-propagating degrees of freedom in maximal supergravity and the very extended algebra E11 has been found. We perform a similar analysis for a supergravity theory with eight supercharges and very extended G2. In particular, in the context of d = 5 minimal supergravity, we study whether supersymmetry can be realised on higher-rank tensors with no propagating d...

The spectral coverage of a light-harvesting polymer largely determines the maximum achievable photocurrent in organic photovoltaics, and therefore constitutes a crucial parameter for improving their performance. The D-A1-D-A2 copolymer motif is a new and promising design strategy for extending the absorption range by incorporating two acceptor units with complementary photoresponses. The fundam...

Barnette was the first o prove that if fk is the number of k-faces of a simple (d+l)-polytope P then (*) fo • dfd' (d-1)(d+2). He later extended (*) to a graph-theoretic setting and was thereby enabled to prove the dual inequality for triangulated d-manifolds. Here his methods are used to provide a different graph-theoretic extension of (*) and thus extend the dual inequality to simplicial d-ps...

In this chapter we overview methods that represent video sequences in terms of their content. These methods differ from those developed for MPEG/H.26X coding standards in that sequences are described in terms of extended images instead of collections of frames. We describe how these extended images, e.g., mosaics, are generated by the basically same principle: the incremental composition of vis...

The extended Born technique is an approximate nonlinear method for analyzing scattering from a weak discontinuity. Moreover, when applied to the low-frequency (electromagnetic induction) applications for which it was developed originally, extended Born has accurately modeled scattering from inhomogeneities considerably larger than those appropriate for the standard linear Born technique. In thi...

The main objective of this study was to quantify reduction Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes during salami production phases. Salami batter prepared, inoculated with L. monocytogenes, stuffed into casings (50 80 mm), subjected four processing trials (A-D). Trials A/B included fermentation (32 °C, 95% RH, 24 h) drying (15 72% 31 d). C/D were identical except mm dried 60 d both diameters comp...

We determine how the tachyon condensations occur in various D-D̄ systems on orbifolds C/ZN by extending the solution generating technique. We propose some rules to classify types of noncommutative solitons as fractional D-branes. This identification gives consistent results with BSFT. The extended solution generating technique enables us to calculate more general decay modes of D-D̄ systems. kent...

The Klee-Quaife problem is finding the minimum order μ(d, c, v) of the (d, c, v) graph, which is a c-vertex connected v-regular graph with diameter d. Many authors contributed finding μ(d, c, v) and they also enumerated and classified the graphs in several cases. This problem is naturally extended to the case of digraphs. So we are interested in the extended Klee-Quaife problem. In this paper, ...
