[1] An ice-ocean model has been used to investigate the effect of vertical mixing on the circulation of the Atlantic Water layer (AL) in the Arctic Ocean. The motivation of this study comes from the disparate AL circulations in the various models that comprise the Arctic Ocean Model Intercomparison Project (AOMIP). It is found that varying vertical mixing significantly changes the ocean’s strat...

High luminosity accelerators have greatly increased the interest in semi-exclusive and exclusive reactions involving nucleons. The relevant theoretical information is contained in the nucleon wavefunction and can be parametrized by moments of the nucleon distribution amplitudes, which in turn are linked to matrix elements of threequark operators. These can be calculated from first principles in...

New developments in the modeling of non-magnetic non-rotating A stars have had a major impact on our understanding of the formation of abundance anomalies in these stars. The great sensitivity of the pulsational properties as well as of the observable chemical composition to the internal mixing processes in chemically peculiar stars make these objects potentially important tools to investigate ...

The depth of our theoretical understanding of neutrino flavor mixing should match the importance of this phenomenon as a herald of long-awaited empirical challenges to the standard model of particle physics. After reviewing the familiar, simplified quantum mechanical model and its flaws, I sketch the deeper understanding of both vacuum and matter-enhanced flavor mixing that is found in the fram...
