t=0 = εg f ∈ C 0 and g ∈ C 0 , i.e. (1.1)-(1.2) has for fixed f and g a solution for all t ≥ 0 if ε > 0 is sufficiently small. This is an interesting model in Lorentzian geometry proposed to me by Hamilton[Ha1]. It is also the equation for a membrane, in field theory, see Hoppe[Ho1]. Also Huisken and Struwe[HS1] have some recent results related to local existence for (1.1). What makes the proof...

We reconsider neutrino decay as an explanation for atmospheric neutrino observations. We show that if the mass-difference relevant to the two mixed states νμ and ντ is very small (< 10 −4 eV), then a very good fit to the observations can be obtained with decay of a component of νμ to a sterile neutrino and a Majoron. We discuss how the K2K and MINOS long-baseline experiments can distinguish the...

The repulsive forces in a wide range of diacyl and monoacyl phospholipid systems have been obtained from the adsorption isotherms for water. From the exponential dependence of the repulsive pressure on the water content, information has been deduced regarding the hydration force. For diacyl phosphatidylcholines the strength of the hydration force and its characteristic decay length are in good ...

In this talk recent result on the atmospheric neutrino from Super-Kamiokande based on the data sample corresponding to 326 live-days and the K2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at KEK, Japan will be discussed.
