Momentum space properties from coordinate space electron density

Electron density and electron momentum density, while independently tractable experimentally, bear no direct connection without going through the many-electron wave function. However, invoking a variant of the constrained-search formulation of density functional theory, we develop a general scheme (valid for arbitrary external potentials) yielding decent momentum space properties, starting exclusively from the coordinate space electron density. Numerical illustration of the scheme is provided for the closed-shell atomic systems He, Be and Ne and for $1s^1~2s^1$ singlet electronic excited state for Helium by calculating the Compton profiles and the $$ expectation values derived from given coordinate space electron densities.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur

Towards a path integral for the pure-spin connection formulation of gravity

A proposal for the path-integral of pure-spin-connection formulation of gravity is described, based on the two-form formulation of Capovilla et. al. It is shown that the resulting effective-action for the spin-connection, upon functional integration of the two-form field $\Sigma$ and the auxiliary matrix field $\psi$ is {\it non-polynomial}, even for the case of vanishing cosmological constant and absence of any matter couplings. Further, a diagramatic evaluation is proposed for the contribution of the matrix-field to the pure spin connection action.Comment: 8 pages in plain-TeX.-----IUCAA_TH/9

CASE REPORT: Adult Type Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in Childhood: A Case Report

Background: In pediatric patients, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) accounts for 2 to 5% of all the leukemias but has an incidence ofless than 1 case per 1,00,000 population younger than 20 years of age per year. CML is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Asper WHO classification, CML is included in Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative disorder. Adult type - CML is extremely rare in childhood. Case history: We report one such a case of Adult type of CML in an 11 year old male patient with chief complaints of abdominal distension since 1 month and cough with feversince 4-5 days. The clinical differential diagnosis was malaria, storage disorder or tropical splenomegaly. Though biologicalbehaviour and prognosis are identical to that of adult type, we are reporting this case because of its extremely uncommon incidence

Derivation of continuum stochastic equations for discrete growth models

We present a formalism to derive the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) for several solid-on-solid growth models. Our formalism begins with a mapping of the microscopic dynamics of growth models onto the particle systems with reactions and diffusion. We then write the master equations for these corresponding particle systems and find the SDEs for the particle densities. Finally, by connecting the particle densities with the growth heights, we derive the SDEs for the height variables. Applying this formalism to discrete growth models, we find the Edwards-Wilkinson equation for the symmetric body-centered solid-on-solid (BCSOS) model, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for the asymmetric BCSOS model and the generalized restricted solid-on-solid (RSOS) model, and the Villain--Lai--Das Sarma equation for the conserved RSOS model. In addition to the consistent forms of equations for growth models, we also obtain the coefficients associated with the SDEs.Comment: 5 pages, no figur

AN APPROACH FOR FAULT DETECTION AND FAULT MANAGEMENT IN THE WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK TO EXTEND NETWORK LIFETIME

A mobile wireless ad hoc sensor network (MANET) consists of a group of homogeneous or heterogeneous mobile communicating hosts that form an arbitrary network interconnected via by means of several wireless communication media without any fixed infrastructure. In such network the delivery of the data packet from source to destination may fail for various reasons and major due to failure-prone environment of networks. This may happens due to the topology changes, node failure due to battery exhaust, failure of the communication module in the wireless node and results in the link failure. This paper addressed the major problem of link failure in the WSN and with the aim of providing robust solution so as to satisfy the stern end-to-end requirements of QoS-based communication networks. In this paper we modifies existing fully distributed cluster-based routing algorithm by addressing local recovery for the link failure. Performance of this new fault-tolerant fully distributed cluster-based routing algorithm is evaluated by simulating it in NS2 environment and we show that it performs better than the existing algorithm and provide better solution for fault detection and fault management along the QoS paths

Full potential LAPW calculation of electron momentum density and related properties of Li

Electron momentum density and Compton profiles in Lithium along $$,$$, and $$ directions are calculated using Full-Potential Linear Augmented Plane Wave basis within generalized gradient approximation. The profiles have been corrected for correlations with Lam-Platzman formulation using self-consistent charge density. The first and second derivatives of Compton profiles are studied to investigate the Fermi surface breaks. Decent agreement is observed between recent experimental and our calculated values. Our values for the derivatives are found to be in better agreement with experiments than earlier theoretical results. Two-photon momentum density and one- and two-dimensional angular correlation of positron annihilation radiation are also calculated within the same formalism and including the electron-positron enhancement factor.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures TO appear in Physical Review

SODIUM FLUORIDE INDUCED HISTOCHEMICAL CHANGES IN THE LIVER OF FRESHWATER FISH, TILAPIA MOSSAMBICA (OREOCHROMIS MOSSAMBICUS)

The present investigation deals with the effect of chronic treatment of sodium fluoride, on the histochemical components of the liver from freshwater fish, Tilapia mossambica (Oreochromis mossambicus).This freshwater fish was exposed to the predetermined 1/10th of LC50 concentration (5.4ppm) of sodium fluoride in laboratory conditions for a duration of 10, 20 and 30 days. The histochemical observation revealed that the carbohydrate reserves were severely depleted particularly glycogen as well as increased acidic mucosubstances noticed. This was time dependent to sodium fluoride toxicity. As the fish, Tilapia mossambica is largely consumed by people, it is essential to know the effect sodium fluoride on histochemical changes from liver

APPLICATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING: A REVIEW

Objective: This paper presents a comprehensive review of the basic principles of the microwave remote sensing technique, Capabilities of microwave sensors for the remote sensing, several studies of Applications of Remote sensing and the status of current methods. The spectral characteristic of the main earth surface feature is Soil Radiation interaction characteristics of earth and atmosphere in different regions of electromagnetic spectrum are very useful for identifying and characterizing earth and atmospheric features. It gives the information needed for soil management programs in order to satisfy the environmental conditions. The principle objective of this review is to present particularly soil studies based on Remote sensors. Materials and Methods: Remote sensing measures electromagnetic radiation that interacts with the atmosphere and objects. Remote sensing is considered a primary means of acquiring spatial data. The Remote Sensing is a multi-disciplinary science. Remote sensing uses the entire electromagnetic spectrum, ranging from short wavelengths (for example, ultraviolet) to long wavelengths (microwaves). The characteristics of soil that determine its reflectance properties are its moisture content, organic matter content, texture, structure and iron oxide content. Results: Interactions of electromagnetic radiation with the surface of the Earth can provide information not only on the distance between the sensor and the object but also on the direction, intensity, wavelength, and polarization of the electromagnetic radiation. Conclusion: Recent technological advances in satellite remote sensing have helped to overcome the limitation of conventional soil survey and providing a new outlook for soil survey and mapping

Metabolite and enzyme profiles of glycogen metabolism in Methanococcoides methylutens

When a buffered anaerobic cell suspension of Methanococcoides methylutens was maintained under methanol-limited conditions, intracellular glycogen and hexose phosphates were consumed rapidly and a very small amount of methane formed at 4 h of a starvation period. When methanol was supplemented after a total of 20 h of starvation, a reverse pattern was observed: the glycogen level and the hexose phosphate pool increased, and formation of methane took place after a lag period of 90 min. A considerable amount of methane was formed in 120 min after its detection with a rate of 0.18 µmol mg-1 protein min-1. When methane formation decreased after 270 min of incubation and finally came to a halt, probably due to complete assimilation of supplemented methanol, the levels of glycogen and hexose monophosphates decreased once again. However fructose 1,6-diphosphate levels showed a continuous increase even after exhaustion of methane formation. In contrast to the hexose phosphate pool, levels of other metabolites showed a small increase after addition of methanol. The enzyme profile of glycogen metabolism showed relatively high levels of triose phosphate isomerase. Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase reacted with NADPH with a three-fold higher activity as compared to that with NADH
