Quantum states on supersymmetric minisuperspace with a cosmological constant
Spatially homogeneous models in quantum supergravity with a nonvanishing
cosmological constant are studied. A class of exact nontrivial solutions of the
supersymmetry and Lorentz constraints is obtained in terms of the Chern-Simons
action on the spatially homogeneous 3-manifold, both in Ashketar variables
where the solution is explicit up to reality conditions, and, more concretely,
in the tetrad-representation, where the solutions are given as integral
representations differing only by the contours of integration. In the limit of
a vanishing cosmological constant earlier exact solutions for Bianchi type IX
models in the tetrad-representation are recovered and additional asymmetric
solutions are found.Comment: 14 pages, late
Helivypolide G. A novel dimeric bioactive sesquiterpene lactone
Helivypolide G was isolated from leaves of Helianthus annuus L. cv. Stella. In the course of our ongoing research for new allelochemicals from Helianthus annuus, a novel dimeric bioactive sesquiterpene lactone, helivypolide G has been isolated and characterized from the medium polar active fractions of the leaves of cultivar variety Stella. The monomers are connected through carbons C-15 of each unit and an oxygen bridge, forming an enolic oxane ring. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
