Electromagnetic duality between the Aharonov-Bohm and the Aharonov-Casher quantum mechanical phases predicts the existence of a new collective state of matter which can be regarded as a spin dual to the fractional quantum Hall effect. The state, induced by electric fields, is driven by effective spin-spin interactions. We derive experimental and materials conditions of spin-spin interactions an...

there are several reports that adenosine and carbamazepine have pharmacodynamic interaction. i n this study the antinociceptive interaction o f these two agents was evaluated in mice by the hot plate test. agents were injected intraperitoneally. 0.2 and 0.4 mg/kg doses of r-phenylisopropyladenosine (r-pia) substantially showed antinociceptive effects. carbamazepine had antinociceptive actions e...

This study aimed at assessing whether two audiovisual interactions (the McGurk and the ventriloquism effects) are affected by different degrees of spatial separation between the auditory and the visual signals. The materials consisted in trains of three audiovisual monosyllables. They were visually displayed in front of the participants’ head on a TV screen and auditorily played through one of ...

Techniques to accumulate and cool positrons in Penning traps provide new tools to study atomic and molecular physics and chemistry. This chapter presents an overview of studies of the interaction of low-energy positrons with atoms and molecules using these methods. In the vacuum environment of a trap, isolated twobody interactions of positrons with atoms and molecules can be studied with precis...

Fine structure is observed in the photoemission of Gd and T b 5p levels as a result of multiplet splitting. These splittings are the consequence of different J final states that occur as a result of interactions with partly filled 4f and/or 5d levels.

Knowledge is a product out of interaction. In online community learning, learners are encouraged to ask questions and discuss answers with each others. The value of participation and sharing during learning is emphasized. However, interactions between learners and between learner and instructor address a problem the instructor cannot be online all the time and it is not possible for the instruc...

We give a model-independent analysis of CP violating lepton polarization in the exclusive semileptonic B decay of B → D(∗)lν̄ including dimension six four-fermion tensor interactions at the heavy quark limit. It is shown that the tensor interactions should not be neglected if the associated couplings are comparable to others. The effect of tensor interactions on the transverse polarization appea...

The RNA world hypothesis and the hydrothermal origin of life hypothesis are contradictory to maintain life-like systems for these two hypotheses to be compatible by the following two main reasons. First RNA molecules are too labile and second the biologically important interactions would not be effective at high temperatures. The assumption can be applied to the protein-based life-like systems....

The knowledge economy plays a leading role in current socioeconomic development and has changed industrial development. This study addresses whether changes in industrial development have improved the knowledge innovation, technical level, and productive efficiency of industries. Taiwanese industries were typically labor and technology-intensive and policy-oriented manufacturing industries in t...
