Planar Induced Subgraphs of Sparse Graphs
We show that every graph has an induced pseudoforest of at least
vertices, an induced partial 2-tree of at least vertices, and an
induced planar subgraph of at least vertices. These results are
constructive, implying linear-time algorithms to find the respective induced
subgraphs. We also show that the size of the largest -minor-free graph in
a given graph can sometimes be at most .Comment: Accepted by Graph Drawing 2014. To appear in Journal of Graph

Anomalous Magnetic Moment of W-boson at high temperature
By the Schwinger proper-time method, the one-loop contribution to the
anomalous magnetic moment of the W-boson is calculated at high temperature. It
is shown that the value of AMM is positive and depends linearly upon
temperature
Search for decay at Super factory
A Monte Carlo study of possible background processes in a search for decay has been performed for conditions of the Super
factory (CTF) (at a center-of-mass energy 3.686 GeV, 3.77 GeV and 4.17 GeV).
The background from events has been analysed. Selection
criteria for background suppression are suggested and necessary requirements on
the detector characteristics have been found. The CTF can successfully compete
with the Super B-factory in a search for decay.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figures; contribution to the Proceedings of the PHIPSI11

Strominger--Yau--Zaslow geometry, Affine Spheres and Painlev\'e III
We give a gauge invariant characterisation of the elliptic affine sphere
equation and the closely related Tzitz\'eica equation as reductions of real
forms of SL(3, \C) anti--self--dual Yang--Mills equations by two
translations, or equivalently as a special case of the Hitchin equation.
We use the Loftin--Yau--Zaslow construction to give an explicit expression
for a six--real dimensional semi--flat Calabi--Yau metric in terms of a
solution to the affine-sphere equation and show how a subclass of such metrics
arises from 3rd Painlev\'e transcendents.Comment: 38 pages. Final version. To appear in Communications in Mathematical

Higgs potential bounds on extra quark-lepton generations
We consider the bounds for the values of higgs mass and of the mass of
the extra quarks and leptons derived from the stability of vacuum
and from the absence of Landau pole in Higgs potential. We find that in the
case of the absence of new physics up to the GUT scale the bounds for the mass
of the 4th generation are so restrictive that the negative result of CDF search
for extra quarks closes the window for fourth generation. In the case of the
absence of new physics up to GeV we get weaker but still nontrivial
bounds on and as well.Comment: 7pp, LaTeX, uses epsf, 5 figures, PS file available at

Remarks on Form Factor Bounds
Improved model independent upper bounds on the weak transition form factors
are derived using inclusive sum rules. Comparison of the new bounds with the
old ones is made for the form factors h_{A_1} and h_V in B -> D* decays.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, title changed and typos corrected for journal

Pyrolysis of rice husk and corn stalk in auger reactor:Part 1. Characterization of char and gas at various temperatures
In this study, rice husk and corn stalk have been pyrolyzed in an auger pyrolysis reactor at pyrolysis temperatures of 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, and 600 °C in order to investigate the effect of the pyrolysis temperature on the pyrolysis performance of the reactor and physicochemical properties of pyrolysis products (this paper focuses on char and gas). The results have shown that the pyrolysis temperature significantly affects the mass yields and properties of the pyrolysis products. The mass yields of pyrolysis liquid and char are comparable to those reported for the same feedstocks processed in fluidized bed reactors. With the increase of the pyrolysis temperature, the pyrolysis liquid yield shows a peak at 500 °C, the char yield decreases, and the gas yield increases for both feedstocks. The higher heating value (HHV) and volatile matter content of char increase as the pyrolysis temperature increases from 350 to 600 °C. The gases obtained from the pyrolysis of rice husk and corn stalk mainly contain CO2, CO, CH4, H2, and other light hydrocarbons; the molar fractions of combustible gases increase and therefore their HHVs subsequently increase with the increase of the pyrolysis temperature
Signal Transmission Across Tile Assemblies: 3D Static Tiles Simulate Active Self-Assembly by 2D Signal-Passing Tiles
The 2-Handed Assembly Model (2HAM) is a tile-based self-assembly model in
which, typically beginning from single tiles, arbitrarily large aggregations of
static tiles combine in pairs to form structures. The Signal-passing Tile
Assembly Model (STAM) is an extension of the 2HAM in which the tiles are
dynamically changing components which are able to alter their binding domains
as they bind together. For our first result, we demonstrate useful techniques
and transformations for converting an arbitrarily complex STAM tile set
into an STAM tile set where every tile has a constant, low amount of
complexity, in terms of the number and types of ``signals'' they can send, with
a trade off in scale factor.
Using these simplifications, we prove that for each temperature
there exists a 3D tile set in the 2HAM which is intrinsically universal for the
class of all 2D STAM systems at temperature (where the STAM does
not make use of the STAM's power of glue deactivation and assembly breaking, as
the tile components of the 2HAM are static and unable to change or break
bonds). This means that there is a single tile set in the 3D 2HAM which
can, for an arbitrarily complex STAM system , be configured with a
single input configuration which causes to exactly simulate at a scale
factor dependent upon . Furthermore, this simulation uses only two planes of
the third dimension. This implies that there exists a 3D tile set at
temperature in the 2HAM which is intrinsically universal for the class of
all 2D STAM systems at temperature . Moreover, we show that for each
temperature there exists an STAM tile set which is intrinsically
universal for the class of all 2D STAM systems at temperature ,
including the case where .Comment: A condensed version of this paper will appear in a special issue of

On the Origin of the Enhancementof CP-violating Charge Asymmetries in Decays Predicted from Chiral Theory
We present an analysis of the enhancement of CP-violating charge asymmetries
in decays. Calculations of decay amplitudes are performed
on the basis of bosonized strong and weak Lagrangians derived from
QCD-motivated quark Lagrangians. We show that the interplay of fourth-order
contributions of chiral Lagrangians for strong interactions and penguin
operators in weak interactions significantly enhances the charge asymmetries.Comment: DESY 92-106, 15
Charmless Exclusive Baryonic B Decays
We present a systematical study of two-body and three-body charmless baryonic
B decays. Branching ratios for two-body modes are in general very small,
typically less than , except that \B(B^-\to p \bar\Delta^{--})\sim
1\times 10^{-6}. In general, due to
the large coupling constant for . For three-body modes we
focus on octet baryon final states. The leading three-dominated modes are with a branching ratio of
order for and
for . The penguin-dominated decays with strangeness
in the meson, e.g., and , have appreciable rates and the mass
spectrum peaks at low mass. The penguin-dominated modes containing a strange
baryon, e.g., , have
branching ratios of order . In contrast, the decay
rate of is smaller. We explain why some of
charmless three-body final states in which baryon-antibaryon pair production is
accompanied by a meson have a larger rate than their two-body counterparts:
either the pole diagrams for the former have an anti-triplet bottom baryon
intermediate state, which has a large coupling to the meson and the
nucleon, or they are dominated by the factorizable external -emission
process.Comment: 46 pages and 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. D. Major changes are:
