Dynamical Restoration of Z_N Symmetry in SU(N)+Higgs Theories

We study the Z_N symmetry in SU(N)+Higgs theories with the Higgs field in the fundamental representation. The distributions of the Polyakov loop show that the Z_N symmetry is explicitly broken in the Higgs phase. On the other hand, inside the Higgs symmetric phase the Polyakov loop distributions and other physical observables exhibit the Z_N symmetry. This effective restoration of the Z_N symmetry changes the nature of the confinement-deconfinenement transition. We argue that the Z_N symmetry will lead to time independent topological defect solutions in the Higgs symmetric deconfined phase which will play important role at high temperatures.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Structural insights on Sucrose transport by Oryza sativa L. Sucrose/H+ Symporter1 (OsSUT1) through refined sequence - template alignment based structural modelling

Sucrose/H+ Symporters (SUTs) play an important role in plant growth and yield. They are involved in long distance transport of sucrose from source leaves to filling grains of cereals through a process called phloem loading. However, the molecular mechanism of sucrose transport through SUTs is not yet known. Understanding the key residues involved in sucrose transport can be helpful in developing high yielding varieties through genetic engineering, gene editing or allele mining. Here, the molecular model of OsSUT1 developed based on refined target-template alignment using Modeller software provides structural insights on the sucrose transport mechanism. We propose 13 putative sucrose binding residues and 11 putative H+ binding residues involved in sucrose/H+ co-transport in OsSUT1

Development Trends in Wind Energy Conversion System: A Review

Wind energy for electricity production today is a mature, competitive and virtually pollution-free technology widely used in many areas of the world. Wind energy conversion systems have become a focal point in the research of renewable energy sources. This is not only due to the rapid advances in the size of wind generators but also for the improvement of energy electronics and their applicability in wind energy extraction. This paper deals with the recent developments in wind energy conversion systems, their classifications, choice of generators and their social, economic and environmental advantages and disadvantages, a review of the interconnection issues of distributed resources including wind power with electric power systems.
