Comparison of Cows of Different Size and Milk Production Using Simumate with Two Different Energy Partitions
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate through the use of Simumate differences between the previous energy partition and the new partition by using nine biological types of cattle varying in mature size and milk production
Neutron Stars as Type-I Superconductors
In a recent paper by Link, it was pointed out that the standard picture of
the neutron star core composed of a mixture of a neutron superfluid and a
proton type-II superconductor is inconsistent with observations of a long
period precession in isolated pulsars. In the following we will show that an
appropriate treatment of the interacting two-component superfluid (made of
neutron and proton Cooper pairs), when the structure of proton vortices is
strongly modified, may dramatically change the standard picture, resulting in a
type-I superconductor. In this case the magnetic field is expelled from the
superconducting regions of the neutron star leading to the formation of the
intermediate state when alternating domains of superconducting matter and
normal matter coexist.Comment: 4 page
How can we test seesaw experimentally?
The seesaw mechanism for the small neutrino mass has been a popular paradigm,
yet it has been believed that there is no way to test it experimentally. We
present a conceivable outcome from future experiments that would convince us of
the seesaw mechanism. It would involve a variety of data from LHC, ILC,
cosmology, underground, and low-energy flavor violation experiments to
establish the case.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Pfaffian representations of cubic surfaces
Let K be a field of characteristic zero. We describe an algorithm which
requires a homogeneous polynomial F of degree three in K[x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3] and a
zero A of F in P^3_K and ensures a linear pfaffian representation of V(F) with
entries in K[x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3], under mild assumptions on F and A. We use this
result to give an explicit construction of (and to prove the existence of) a
linear pfaffian representation of V(F), with entries in K'[x_0,x_1,x_2,x_3],
being K' an algebraic extension of K of degree at most six. An explicit example
of such a construction is given.Comment: 17 pages. Expanded with some remarks. Published with minor

Measurement and Control of Single Nitrogen-Vacancy Center Spins above 600 K
We study the spin and orbital dynamics of single nitrogen-vacancy (NV)
centers in diamond between room temperature and 700 K. We find that the ability
to optically address and coherently control single spins above room temperature
is limited by nonradiative processes that quench the NV center's
fluorescence-based spin readout between 550 and 700 K. Combined with electronic
structure calculations, our measurements indicate that the energy difference
between the 3E and 1A1 electronic states is approximately 0.8 eV. We also
demonstrate that the inhomogeneous spin lifetime (T2*) is temperature
independent up to at least 625 K, suggesting that single NV centers could be
applied as nanoscale thermometers over a broad temperature range.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, and 14 pages of supplemental material with
additional figures. Title change and minor revisions from previous version.
