We investigate the phase structure of pure compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4 dimensions with the Wilson action supplemented by a monopole term. To overcome the suppression of transitions between the phases in the simulations we make the monopole coupling a dynamical variable. We determine the phase diagram and find that the strength of the first order transition decreases with increasing w...

the expressions of “esoteric” and “esotericism” have a wide range of meanings, however, they specifically apply to religious, mystical, and philosophical secret schools. in ancient greek world, i.e. before the hellenistic era, we come across some currents with esoteric tendencies. the various texts from this period show that the ancient greeks sought the source of the esoteric currents outside ...

This paper deals with new hybrid multilevel inverter fed induction motor drive. It focuses on the different topologies to mitigate the common mode voltages, bearing currents and their effects on the drive. In proposed topology, the total harmonic distortion (THD) is reduced with more number of steps in output voltage without using pulse width modulation techniques. The main advantage of this pr...

We examine multiphoton production in the electroweak sector of the Standard Model in the high energy limit using the equivalence theorem in combination with spinor helicity techniques. We utilize currents consisting of a charged scalar, spinor, or vector line that radiates n photons. Only one end of the charged line is off shell in these currents, which are known for the cases of like-helicity ...

Because of its NP-hardness, motion planning among moving obstacles is commonly divided into two tasks: path planning and velocity tuning. The corresponding algorithms are very efficient but ignore weather conditions, in particular the presence of currents. However, when vehicles are small or slow, the impact of currents becomes significant and cannot be neglected. Path planning techniques have ...

To study the modulatory effect of extracellular calcium on the whole cell K(+) currents (I(K)) in isolated Deiters cells, the whole cell K(+) currents were recorded when Deiters cells bathed in normal physiological solutions and calcium-free saline, respectively. The electrophysiological characteristics of I(K) currents were then analyzed with the patch clamp technique. Removing extracellular c...

Sensitivity of GABAA receptors (GABARs) to inhibition by zinc and other divalent cations is influenced by the alpha subunit subtype composition of the receptor. For example, alpha6beta3gamma2L receptors are more sensitive to inhibition by zinc than alpha1beta3gamma2L receptors. We examined the role of a His residue located in the M2-M3 extracellular domain (rat alpha6 H273) in the enhanced zinc...

The type plant of Allium akaka S.G. Gmelin ex Roem. & Schult. was probably collected in the mountains west of Bandar Anzali. Here plants fitting the original description are extant, and one was selected as epitype. This taxon in the strict sense is not conspecific with A. latifolium Jaub. & Spach, and is morphologically well separable from topo-typical plants of A. haemanthoides Boiss. & Reut. ...
