The success of the corn agro-industry is greatly influenced by fertilizeravailability. A notable effort to support that situation increase compost production through utilization and processing beef cattle wastes. Thisresearch proposed produce from wastes following Indonesian National Standard (SNI). composting process was carried out preparing several materials consisting manure (BCM), wet/dry ...

I compute the complete two-loop effective potential for the minimal supersymmetric standard model in the Landau gauge. This enables an accurate determination of the minimization conditions for the vacuum expectation values of the Higgs fields. Checks on the result follow from supersymmetric limits and from renormalization-scale invariance. The renormalization group equations for the field-indep...

We calculate the standard model effective potential to two loops using minimal subtraction, and use the result to deduce the two-loop beta-functions for the scalar m and quartic self-interaction. * Current address: Instituut Lorentz for Theoretical Physics, Niels Bohrweg 2, NL-2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands ** Until 28th May 1992. *** Permanent address.

OBJECTIVE To identify maternal and pregnancy-related physiological and pathological variables associated with fetal growth and birthweight in Ireland and to develop customized birthweight centile charts for the Irish population that will aid in appropriate identification and selection of growth-restricted fetuses requiring increased antenatal surveillance. STUDY DESIGN Prospectively collected...

The stability of the standard model is determined by the true minimum of the effective Higgs potential. We show that the potential at its minimum when computed by the traditional method is strongly dependent on the gauge parameter. It moreover depends on the scale where the potential is calculated. We provide a consistent method for determining absolute stability independent of both gauge and c...

We study the phase structure of a 4D complex scalar field theory with a potential V (Φ) = | Λ 3 Φ −ΛΦ | 2 at zero and at finite temperature. The model is analyzed by mean-field and Monte Carlo methods. At zero temperature the theory falls in the universality class of the 4D Ising model when varying Λ. The situation is less clear-cut for variations w.r.t. Λ at large temperatures and variations w...

Starting from the observation that using a conventional potential clamp device for membrane current measurements in Ranvier nodes neither the kinetics of sodium currents nor the constant field concept agree satisfactorily with the Hodgkin-Huxley-Frankenhaeuser (HHF)-formalism, an extendend measuring system has been developed. The extensions introduced base largely on physical implications of my...

Equilibrium in the electronic subsystem across the solution-metal interface is considered to connect the standard electrode potential to the statistics of localized electronic states in solution. We argue that a correct derivation of the Nernst equation for the electrode potential requires a careful separation of the relevant time scales. An equation for the standard metal potential is derived ...
