This paper presents a preliminary investigation on a one-degree-of-freedom programmable inertia generator. An inertia generator is a hand-held haptic device that has a programmable inertia. By moving internal masses in reaction to accelerations induced by the user, the effective intertia of the device is modified in order to render a prescribed perceived inertia. In this paper, a one-degree-of-...

It is shown how to treat the degrees of freedom of Nielsen-Olesen vortices in the 3+ 1dimensional U(1) higgs model by a collective coordinate method. In the london limit, where the higgs mass becomes infinite, the gauge and goldstone degrees of freedom are integrated out, resulting in the vortex world-sheet action. Introducing an ultraviolet cut-off mimics the effect of finite higgs mass. This ...

The γn → πp and γ p → π+n reactions are essential probes of the transition from meson-nucleon degrees of freedom to quark-gluon degrees of freedom in exclusive processes. The cross sections of these processes are also advantageous, for the investigation of oscillatory behavior around the quark counting prediction, since they decrease relatively slower with energy compared with other photon-indu...

Dynamical nature of the gauge degree of freedom and its effect to fermion spectrum are studied for four-dimensional nonabelian chiral gauge theory in the vacuum overlap formulation. The covariant gauge fixing term and the Faddeev-Popov determinant are introduced by hand as a weight for the gauge average. At β = ∞, as noticed by Hata some time ago, the model is renormalizable at one-loop and the...

We consider the running of the neutrino mass matrix in the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, extended by heavy singlet Majorana neutrinos. Unlike previous studies, we do not assume that all of the heavy mass eigenvalues are degenerate. This leads to various effective theories when the heavy degrees of freedom are integrated out successively. We calculate the Renormal...

the present article studies the quran's view on free will and freedom. some related issues discussed here are: (1) human freedom is the basis of the creation; (2) respecting human freedom is the basis of the prophet's invitation of the people to islam; (3) political freedom is the foundation of forming political societies, and so on. with reference to the quranic verses and moslem sch...

ownership and freedom are two essential rights and of value to human beings. by contrast to preliminary reviews, the link between these two values is very solid, and they have a reciprocal relation.not only can they serve as the foundation of each other, but also in case of departing this equilibrium, each can have a negative effect on the other. the relationship between the two is the subject ...

A direct proof is given here which shows that instead of 6 complex numbers, the triangular mass matrix for each sector could just be expressed in terms of 5 by performing a specific weak basis transformation, leading therefore to a new textures for triangular mass matrices. Furthermore, starting with the set of 20 real parameters for both sectors, it can shown that 6 redundant parameters can be...
