Direct measurement of the quantum state of the electromagnetic field in a superconducting transmission line
We propose an experimental procedure to directly measure the state of an
electromagnetic field inside a resonator, corresponding to a superconducting
transmission line, coupled to a Cooper-pair box (CPB). The measurement protocol
is based on the use of a dispersive interaction between the field and the CPB,
and the coupling to an external classical field that is tuned to resonance with
either the field or the CPB. We present a numerical simulation that
demonstrates the feasibility of this protocol, which is within reach of present
technology.Comment: Accepted for publication in Physical Review A (Rapid Communication).

Galactic Nonlinear Dynamic Model
We develop a model for spiral galaxies based on a nonlinear realization of
the Newtonian dynamics starting from the momentum and mass conservations in the
phase space. The radial solution exhibits a rotation curve in qualitative
accordance with the observational data.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure. Talk given in the 7th Alexander Friedmann

Relativistic dynamics of Qqq systems
The bound state of constituent quarks forming a composite baryon is
investigated in a QCD-inspired effective light-front model. The light-front
Faddeev equations are derived and solved numerically. The masses of the spin
1/2 low-lying states of the nucleon, , and
are found and compared to the experimental data. The data is
qualitatively described with a flavor independent effective interaction.Comment: 18 pages, include 6 figures, 2 eps figures, use latex, revtex. To

Ground State Masses and Biding Energies of the Nucleon, Hyperon and Heavy Baryons in a Light-Front Model
The ground state masses and binding energies of the nucleon,
, , are studied within a constituent
quark QCD-inspired light-front model. The light-front Faddeev equations for the
composite spin 1/2 baryons, are derived and solved numerically. The
experimental data for the masses are qualitatively described by a flavor
independent effective interaction.Comment: 13 pages, include 4 eps figures, use latex, revte
Somatic embryogenesis and ploidy stability in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivars regenerated by in vitro culture of young leaves.
The regeneration and cytogenetic analysis of 7 cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) cultivars obtained by organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis were investigated. In the first phase, callus formation was induced in young leaves using MS medium supplemented with 1.0, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 mg/l of 2,4-D or without a growth regulator (control). In the second phase (development), the calli obtained in the above treatments were transferred to MS medium supplemented with factorial combinations of GA3 and BAP at 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/l. Results of the first phase showed that 2,4-D induced the formation of both friable and compact calli. The compact calli displayed root and shoot formation, whilst somatic embryos were obtained only from friable calli in the medium with 1.0 mg/l GA3. Plants obtained from somatic embryos were regenerated in MS medium supplemented with 0.04 mg/l NAA and 0.05 mg/l GA3. Cytogenetic analysis in 167 regenerated plants from somatic embryogenesis and 176 from organogenesis showed 2n= 36 as a normal diploid chromosome number
