We investigate 5-dimensional supergravity on S/Z2 with a physical Z2-odd vector multiplet, which yields an additional modulus other than the radion. We find additional terms in the 4-dimensional effective theory that are peculiar to the multi moduli case. Such terms can make the soft masses are non-tachyonic and almost flavor-universal at tree-level, in contrast to the single modulus case. This...

The possibility of dynamical stabilization of an internal space is investigated for a multidimensional cosmological model with minimal coupled scalar field as inflaton. It is shown that a successful dynamical compactification crucially depends on the type of interaction between the geometrical modulus field and the inflaton and its decay products. In the considered model a stable compactificati...

Using a collective potential derived on the basis of the Generator Coordinate Method with Skyrme interactions we obtain values for the compression modulus of 40Ca which are in good agreement with a recently obtained experimental value. Calculated values for the compression modulus for 16O are also given. The procedure involved in the derivation of the collective potential is briefly reviewed an...

-The mixed splay bend curvature elastic constant Kj~ of nematics is shown to be proportional to S, the modulus of the quadrupolar orientational

OBJECTIVE Handling of endodontic sealers is greatly dependent on their elasticity and flow ability. We compared the viscoelastic properties of three root canal sealers. MATERIALS AND METHODS AH Plus (Dentsply, De Trey, Konstanz, Germany), Endofill (Dentsply Hero, Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and AH26 (Dentsply, De Trey, Konstanz, Germany) were mixed according to the manufacturers' inst...

From measurements with a Couette-type viscometer provided with a guard ring it was shown that at the saliva-air interface a protein layer is adsorbed. Measurements of the surface shear modulus of this layer on saliva of 7 healthy subjects were performed at a frequency of about 70 Hz and a temperature of 25 degrees C. For a surface age of about 1.5 h the surface shear modulus and the surface vis...

the rheological properties of four different kuwaiti crude oils in the presence of polyacrylamide (paa) were investigated. paa was varied at three different concentrations of 25, 50, and 75 ppm to study the viscoelastic properties in the untreated samples. four different temperatures (25, 30, 35, and 40 °c) were used to evaluate different viscoelastic parameters of the treated and untreated kuw...

Let \(N=p^r q^s\) be prime power moduli where \(p\) and \(q\) are unbalance numbers for \(2 \leq s<r\). If \(q<p<\lambda q\) \(q^s<p^r<\lambda q^s\), and\[\phi(N) \approx \lambda^{\frac{r-s}{2 r}}\left(N^{\frac{r+s}{2 r}+N^{\frac{r+s-2}{2 r}}}\right)-N^{\frac{r+s-1}{2 r}}\left(\lambda^{\frac{r-s+1}{2 r}}+\lambda^{\frac{r-s-1}{2 r}}\right)\]then\[x<\sqrt{\frac{\lambda^{\frac{r-...
