In low scale quantum gravity scenarios the fundamental scale of nature can be as low as 1 TeV, in order to address the naturalness of the electroweak scale. A number of difficulties arise in constructing specific models: stabilization of the radius of the extra dimensions, avoidance of overproduction of Kaluza-Klein modes, achieving successful baryogenesis and production of a close to scale-inv...

To maintain flight, insect-scale air vehicles must adapt to their low Reynolds number flight conditions and generate sufficient aerodynamic force. Researchers conducted extensive studies explore the mechanism of high efficiency on such a small scale. In this paper, centimeter-level flapping wing is used investigate feasibility whether simple motion with certain frequency can enough lift. The un...

[1] The effect of large amplitude chorus on energetic, radiation-belt electrons is evaluated using a general, relativistic, oblique, test-particle code. Three specific cases are examined: (A) Low-amplitude waves interacting at lowlatitudes exhibit the expected, linear scattering which leads to large-scale diffusive behavior. (B) Large-amplitude waves interacting at low-latitudes result in monot...

The levels of non-proportionality in fatigue stress-time series are difficult to determine. Approaches from literature not easy interpret and predicts different for variable constant amplitude stresses. In this paper, an extension the PCA-based method is proposed which stresses transformed into equivalent by scaling stress reversal points. This ensures robust easily interpretable results. compa...

Regularized adelic formulas for gamma and beta functions for arbitrary quasicharacters (either ramified or not) and in an arbitrary field of algebraic numbers are concretized as applied to one-class quadratic fields (and to the field of rational numbers). Applications to 4-tachyon tree string amplitudes, to the Veneziano (open strings) and Virasoro (closed strings) amplitudes as well as to mass...

We present results for the photoproduction helicity amplitudes of excited baryons obtained in the context of the 1/Nc expansion of QCD. The results show that, in order to get a satisfactory description of the observed photoproduction amplitudes, the sub-leading corrections in 1/Nc are important. We also find that, while onebody effective operators are dominant, there is some evidence for the ne...

New results from inelastic two-body scattering reactions are reviewed. Although predictions of SU(3), factorization and simple Regge theory are found to be qualitatively in agreement with the data, direct channel or absorption effects afford the simplest interpretation of the detailed features of the scattering amplitudes.

A new approach to the analysis of three body decays is presented. Model-independent results are obtained for the S-wave Kπ amplitude as a function of Kπ invariant mass. These are compared with results from K − π + elastic scattering, and the prediction of the Watson theorem , that the phase behavour be the same below Kη ′ threshold, is tested. Contributions from I = 1 2 and I = 3 2 are not reso...
