We show that a purely s-wave interaction in three dimensions (3D) can induce higher partial-wave resonances in mixe...

Systematic impurity doping in the Cu-O plane of the hole-doped cuprate superconductors may allow one to decide between unconventional (”d-wave”) and anisotropic conventional (”s-wave”) states as possible candidates for the order parameter in these materials. We show that potential scattering of any strength always increases the gap minima of such s-wave states, leading to activated behavior in ...

We examine a contact between a superconductor whose order parameter changes sign across the Brillioun zone, and an ordinary, uniform-sign superconductor. Within a Ginzburg-Landau-type model, we find that if the barrier between the two superconductors is not too high, the frustration of the Josephson coupling between different portions of the Fermi surface across the contact can lead to surprisi...

Wave diffraction is a very important phenomenon in marine engineering and several models have been developed for its simulation. The new version of SWAN, a third generation spectral model, includes an approximation to wave diffraction. The approximation is based on the mild-slope equation for refraction and diffraction, omitting phase information. The objective this paper is to evaluate the per...

Assuming the QCD multipole expansion is applicable to hadronic transitions of Υ(3S) into lower level bottomonia, we consider the possibility that Υ(3S) has a D−wave component. This assumption leads to a natural explanation of the ππ spectrum in Υ(3S) → Υ(1S) ππ. Consequences of this assumption on other hadronic and radiative transitions of Υ(3S) are also discussed in the same context. PACS numb...

Background: Right Ventricular (RV) hypertrophy is an adaptive response to chronic RV pressure overload in patients with pulmonary hypertension. We investigated the relationships between RV hypertrophy indicators, including electrocardiography, the percentage oxygen saturation (SaO2%), body mass index (BMI), and blood uric acid levels in patients with...

Single pion transitions of S wave to S wave, P wave to S wave and P wave to P wave heavy baryons are analyzed in the framework of the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit (HQS). We then use a constituent quark model picture for the light diquark system with an underlying SU(2Nf ) ⊗ O(3) symmetry to reduce the number of the HQS coupling factors required to describe these transitions. A single constituent ...
