We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large...

apart from the breast milk, infant formula and baby weaning food have a special role in infant diet. infants and young children are very susceptible to amount of trace elements. copper and zinc are two elements that add in infant food. lead and cadmium are heavy metals that enter to food chain unavoidably. dpasv is a benefit and applicable method for measurement of trace elements in food produc...
