Liberals and conservatives disagree about obeying authorities, with conservatives holding the more positive views. We suggest that reactions to conservative authorities, rather than to obedience itself, are responsible for the division. Past findings that conservatives favor obedience uniformly confounded obedience with conservative authorities. We break down obedience to authority into its con...

Families of soliton pairs, namely vector solitons, are found within the context of a coupled nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger system of equations, as appropriate for modeling beam propagation in nematic liquid crystals. In the focusing case, bright soliton pairs have been found to exist provided their amplitudes satisfy a specific condition. In our analytical approach, focused on the defocusing r...

This is a study of q-Fermions arising from a q-deformed algebra of harmonic oscillators. Two distinct algebras will be investigated. Employing the first algebra, the Fock states are constructed for the generalized Fermions obeying Pauli exclusion principle. The distribution function and other thermodynamic properties such as the internal energy and entropy are derived. Another generalization of...

Explicit expressions for arrival times of particles moving in a one-dimensional zero-range process (ZRP) are computed. Particles are fed into the ZRP from an injection site and can evaporate from any site of the one-dimensional lattice. Two dynamics are considered: bulk dynamics, where particle hopping and decay are proportional to the number of particles at each site, and surface dynamics, whe...

Two simple, sensitive, selective, accurate and precise methods (Methods A and B) have been developed for the quantitative estimation of ganciclovir in bulk drug and its pharmaceutical formulations. In Method A, presence of amino group in ganciclovir enables the use of condensation reaction with p-dimethylamino benzaldehyde, forming the greenish yellow colored complex due to the formation of Sch...

We derive a differential equation for the modified Feynman propagator describing timedependent measurements or histories continuous in time. We obtain an exact series solution and its applications. Suppose the system is initially in a state with density operator ρ(0) and the projection operator E(t) = U(t)EU (t) is measured continuously from t = 0 to T , where E is a projector obeying Eρ(0)E = ...
