    Full text link
    Using Iqbal-Netzike-Vafa dictionary giving the correspondence between the H2_{2} homology of del Pezzo surfaces and p-branes, we develop a new way to approach system of brane bounds in M-theory on S1\mathbb{S}^{1}. We first review the structure of ten dimensional quantum Hall soliton (QHS) from the view of M-theory on S1\mathbb{S}^{1}. Then, we show how the D0 dissolution in D2-brane is realized in M-theory language and derive the p-brane constraint eqs used to define appropriately QHS. Finally, we build an algebraic geometry realization of the QHS in type IIA superstring and show how to get its type IIB dual. Others aspects are also discussed. Keywords: Branes Physics, Algebraic Geometry, Homology of Curves in Del Pezzo surfaces, Quantum Hall Solitons.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figure

    Introduction:  Prostate cancer (P ca) is the most commonly diagnosed visceral cancer worldwide. It is the second cause of cancer death in men. Objective: To study the impact of introducing transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy in detection of Prostate cancer in Central Sudan. Methods: This was a retrospective hospital based study. A review was done for data of prostate cancer patients treated in the Institute of Nuclear Medicine and Oncology & Gezira Hospital of Renal Diseases & Surgery (GHRD&S), Wad Medani, Sudan during the years 2002-2007. Comparison was done between the data available before and after introduction of trans rectal ultrasound biopsy, TRUS in 2005. Results: Prostate cancer cases were contributing for only 8% of all cancers during the time period before TRUS introduction. During the year 2007 the figure increased to 14%. The leading cancer in males now is the P ca. previously it was the third registered cancer before TRUS was introduced. The detection of new cases per year increased dramatically after the introduction of TRUS service. Conclusion and recommendation: Prostate cancer was found to be the most common cancer in Sudanese males. TRUS guided biopsy contributed significantly in early detection of prostate cancer in this region. Distribution of this facility with adequate training of the staff optimizes a proper and early detection of prostate cancer

    Electron refraction at lateral atomic interfaces

    We present theoretical simulations of electron refraction at the lateral atomic interface between a “homogeneous” Cu(111) surface and the “nanostructured” one-monolayer (ML) Ag/Cu(111) dislocation lattice. Calculations are performed for electron binding energies barely below the 1 ML Ag/ Cu(111) M-point gap (binding energy EB ¼53 meV, below the Fermi level) and slightly above its C -point energy (EB ¼160 meV), both characterized by isotropic/circular constant energy surfaces. Using plane-wave-expansion and boundary-element methods, we show that electron refraction occurs at the interface, the Snell law is obeyed, and a total internal reflection occurs beyond the critical angle. Additionally, a weak negative refraction is observed for EB ¼53 meV electron energy at beam incidence higher than the critical angle. Such an interesting observation stems from the interface phase-matching and momentum conservation with the umklapp bands at the second Brillouin zone of the dislocation lattice. The present analysis is not restricted to our Cu-Ag/Cu model system but can be readily extended to technologically relevant interfaces with spinpolarized, highly featured, and anisotropic constant energy contours, such as those characteristic for Rashba systems and topological insulators.

    Application of Mutagenic Radiation and Research the Optimal doses of Induction of bud break and Vegetative Growth in the Grapevine (Vitis vinifera (L.)

    The demand of grape in Morocco is fulfilled through import from foreign countries. The fruits of local cultivars of grapes offer a low yield. Development of seedless grape varieties having increased sweetness, higher yield with better nutritional quality is necessary to reduce the import dependency. The present research activities are the part of a grape improvement project. A pot experiment was conducted at the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA), Center Tangier (Morocco), during February to November 2017 to determine the suitable gamma irradiation doses on growth, leaf area and content of chlorophyll of grape seedling. One hundred vegetative bud cutting and three doses of gamma irradiation 20, 30, and 40 Gy were used as treatment. Different irradiation doses and vegetative cutting showed significant variations in respect of plant growth characters, leaf area and Chlorophyll Content. Higher doses of gamma irradiation had showed detrimental effect on grape saplings. Generally, increased in irradiation doses showed decreased and detrimental effects on most of the parameters under study. Maximum numbers of growing bud, leaf area and content of chlorophyll were found at 20 Gy irradiation dose. All parameters showed best results in 20 Gy with bud cutting initiation

    Evaporative Deposition Patterns Revisited: Spatial Dimensions of the Deposit

    Full text link
    A model accounting for finite spatial dimensions of the deposit patterns in the evaporating sessile drops of colloidal solution on a plane substrate is proposed. The model is based on the assumption that the solute particles occupy finite volume and hence these dimensions are of the steric origin. Within this model, the geometrical characteristics of the deposition patterns are found as functions of the initial concentration of the solute, the initial geometry of the drop, and the time elapsed from the beginning of the drying process. The model is solved analytically for small initial concentrations of the solute and numerically for arbitrary initial concentrations of the solute. The agreement between our theoretical results and the experimental data is demonstrated, and it is shown that the observed dependence of the deposit dimensions on the experimental parameters can indeed be attributed to the finite dimensions of the solute particles. These results are universal and do not depend on any free or fitting parameters; they are important for understanding the evaporative deposition and may be useful for creating controlled deposition patterns.Comment: 34 pages, 14 figures, LaTeX; submitted to Physical Review

    Multi-level Multi-objective Quadratic Fractional Programming Problem with Fuzzy Parameters: A FGP Approach

    Get PDF
    The motivation behind this paper is to present multi-level multi-objective quadratic fractional programming (ML-MOQFP) problem with fuzzy parameters in the constraints. ML-MOQFP problem is an important class of non-linear fractional programming problem. These type of problems arise in many fields such as production planning, financial and corporative planning, health care and hospital planning. Firstly, the concept of the -cut and fuzzy partial order relation are applied to transform the set of fuzzy constraints into a common crisp set. Then, the quadratic fractional objective functions in each level are transformed into non-linear objective functions based on a proposed transformation. Secondly, in the proposed model, separate non-linear membership functions for each objective function of the ML-MOQFP problem are defined. Then, the fuzzy goal programming (FGP) approach is utilized to obtain a compromise solution for the ML-MOQFP problem by minimizing the sum of the negative deviational variables. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is given to demonstrate the applicability and performance of the proposed approach
