We propose to implement a \multi-argus" facility at CFHT. The main scientiic driver of this project is the study of the evolution of the Tully-Fisher relation at intermediate redshift, thanks to the use of the optical rotation curves of spiral galaxies. The multiplex gain makes this project quite attractive, even on a 4m-size telescope such as CFHT. From the instrumental side, the idea is to mo...

In recent, Kar.S et.al [ Phys Rev D 67,044005 (2003) ] have obtained static spherically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Kalb-Ramond field equations. We have shown that their solutions, indeed, represent Wormholes. In Einstein-Cartan theory, the symmetric Christoffel connection is modified with the introduction of an anti-symmetric tensorial term,known as space time torsion, which is presume...

Observational evidence for anisotropy in supernovae (SN) may signal the importance of angular momentum and differential rotation in the progenitors. Free energy in differential rotation and rotation can be extracted magnetically or via turbulent dissipation. The importance that magnetohydrodyamic jets and coronae may play in driving SN motivates understanding large scale dynamos in SN progenito...

During ribosomal translation, the two ribosomal subunits remain associated through intersubunit bridges, despite rapid large-scale intersubunit rotation. The absence of large barriers hindering rotation is a prerequisite for rapid rotation. Here, we investigate how such a flat free-energy landscape is achieved, in particular considering the large shifts the bridges undergo at the periphery. The...

This paper reports positive detections of surface differential rotation on two rapidly rotating cool stars at several epochs, by using stellar surface features (both cool spots and magnetic regions) as tracers of the large scale latitudinal shear that distorts the convective envelope in this type of stars. We also report definite evidence that this differential rotation is different when estima...

This paper presents an explanation based on torsionally mediated proton-spin-overall-rotation interaction for the observation of doublet hyperfine splittings in some Lamb-dip sub-millimeter-wave transitions between ground-state torsion-rotation states of E symmetry in methanol. These unexpected doublet splittings, some as large as 70 kHz, were observed for rotational quantum numbers in the rang...

We demonstrate a type of meta-atom for creating metamaterials with giant nonlinear optical activity but vanishing linear optical activity in a wide frequency range. Such properties are not found in any natural materials, and we call this regime as pure nonlinear optical activity. We further extend our design concept and show that the metamaterial can be tuned dynamically to exhibit either posit...
