Anderson Localization in the Sky and Cosmological Magnetic Field

We discuss the Anderson localization of electromagnetic fields in the fluctuating plasma induced by the gravitational density perturbation before the recombination time of the Universe. Randomly distributed localized coherent electromagnetic fields emerge in the thermal equilibrium before the recombination time. We argue that the localized coherent electric fields eventually produce cosmological magnetic fields after the decoupling time.Comment: 13 pages, latex, epsfj, 3 figure

Shoreline Devastation of Hota Coast by Man-made Causes

AbstractThe impact of the removal of a river mouth bar as a measure against river mouth closure to the surrounding coasts was investigated, taking the Hota coast as an example. Also, on this coast, landfilling was extensively carried out to build a coastal road along the coastline, resulting in the narrowing of the natural sandy beach. These anthropogenic factors affected the overall shoreline on a pocket beach, devastating the natural coastal environment. We investigated the effects of these impacts using aerial photographs and field observations

Application of continuous light in a plant factory system 4. Physiological changes and concept of injury induction in plant leaves under continuous light

Physiological changes and concept of injury induction occurring under continuous light are comprehensively reviewed. Continuous light usually reduces photosynthetic rate, which may relate to changes in transpiration and leaf necrosis caused by reactive oxygen species. Other factors apart from photosynthesis may also affect leaf injuries occurring under continuous light. Continuous light sometimes increases carbohydrate and some secondary metabolite contents

Observation of the 4f146s2 1S0−4f135d6s2(J=2)4f^{14}6s^{2}~^1S_0- 4f^{13}5d6s^{2}(J=2) clock transition at 431 nm in 171^{171}Yb

We report on the observation of the $4f^{14}6s^{2}~^1S_0- 4f^{13}5d6s^{2}(J=2)$ transition at 431 nm in $^{171}$Yb by depleting atoms in a magneto-optical trap formed by the $6s^{2}~^1S_0-6s6p~^3P_1$ intercombination transition. The absolute frequency of the transition to the $F=3/2$ state is determined to be $695~171~054~858.1(8.2)$~kHz against physical realization of Coordinated Universal Time maintained by the National Metrology Institute of Japan with a frequency comb. The $g$ factor of the transition to the $F=3/2$ state and the A hyperfine constant are measured to be $g_J=1.54(13)$ and 1123.273(13)~MHz, respectively. More precise spectroscopy of this transition can lead to searches for time variation of the fine structure constant and searches for new physics with isotope shift measurements.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
