Enhanced mass transfer during dwarf nova outbursts by irradiation of the secondary?
One of the remaining issues in the problems of dwarf novae is whether or not
enhanced mass transfer due to irradiation of the secondary stars could occur
during outbursts. In a previous paper (Osaki and Meyer 2003), we presented a
theoretical analysis that shows no appreciable enhancement of the mass outflow
rate. This conclusion is challenged by Smak (2004) who claims that equations
used in our analysis were incorrect and that in systems with short orbital
periods substantial enhancement could occur. In this letter, we examine the
origin of such divergent conclusions. We show that Smak's solutions are
unacceptable from the standpoint of the equation of continuity and that our
analysis is an appropriate one to treat this problem.Comment: 4 pages, accepted by Astronomy &.Astrophysics Letter
A Large-scale CO Imaging of the Galactic Center. II. Dynamical Properties of Molecular Clouds
The data from the Nobeyama Radio Observatory 45 m telescope Galactic Center
CO survey have been analyzed to generate a compilation of molecular clouds with
intense CO emission in this region. Clouds are identified in an automated
manner throughout the main part of the survey data for all CO emission peaks
exceeding 10 K (). Correlations between the size, velocity dispersion,
virial mass, and the CO luminosity, for the molecular clouds in the Galactic
center were shown. We diagnosed gravitational stabilities of identified clouds
assuming that the disk clouds are nearly at the onset of gravitational
instability. Most of the clouds and cloud complexes in the Galactic center are
gravitationally stable, while some clouds with intense CO emission are
gravitationally unstable.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the Proceedings of the 32nd COSPAR

Prediction of Pore Water Pressure During Earthquakes in Southern Kyoto Area
This paper is concerned with the liquefaction analysis for the hypothetical earthquake in southern Kyoto area in Japan. The method of liquefaction analysis can consider the local soil properties of sand and clay, using the constitutive equations of clay and sand, and the theory of mixture. From this study, it becomes evident that liquefaction will occur at the site near the river, and also liquefaction can be observed in the clay layers
Are the anti-charmed and bottomed pentaquarks molecular heptaquarks?
I study the charmed resonance D*p (3100) very recently
discovered by the H1 collaboration at Hera. An anticharmed resonance was
already predicted, in a recent publication mostly dedicated to the S=1
resonance Theta+(1540). To confirm these recent predictions, I apply the same
standard quark model with a quark-antiquark annihilation constrained by chiral
symmetry. I find that repulsion excludes the D*p (3100) as a
s-wave pentaquark. I explore the D*p (3100) as a heptaquark, equivalent to a
N-pi-D* linear molecule, with positive parity and total isospin I=0. I find
that the N-D repulsion is cancelled by the attraction existing in the N-pi and
pi-D channels. In our framework this state is harder to bind than the Theta+
described by a k-pi-N borromean bound-state, a lower binding energy is expected
in agreement with the H1 observation. Multiquark molecules N-pi-D, N-pi-B* and
N-pi-B are also predicted.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, RevTe
Kaon-nucleon interaction in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model
The chiral SU(3) quark model is extended to include the coupling between the
quark and vector chiral fields. The one-gluon exchange (OGE) which dominantly
governs the short-range quark-quark interaction in the original chiral SU(3)
quark model is now nearly replaced by the vector-meson exchange. Using this
model, the isospin I=0 and I=1 kaon-nucleon S, P, D, F wave phase shifts are
dynamically studied by solving the resonating group method (RGM) equation.
Similar to those given by the original chiral SU(3) quark model, the calculated
results for many partial waves are consistent with the experiment, while there
is no improvement in this new approach for the P_{13} and D_{15} channels, of
which the theoretical phase shifts are too much repulsive and attractive
respectively when the laboratory momentum of the kaon meson is greater than 300
MeV.Comment: 19 pages, 16 figures. Accepted by Phys. Rev.
Anisotropic Lattice QCD Studies of Penta-quark Anti-decuplet
Anti-decuplet penta-quark baryon is studied with the quenched anisotropic
lattice QCD for accurate measurement of the correlator. Both the positive and
negative parity states are studied using a non-NK type interpolating field with
I=0 and J=1/2. After the chiral extrapolation, the lowest positive parity state
is found at m_{Theta} \simeq 2.25 GeV, which is too massive to be identified
with the experimentally observed Theta^+(1540). The lowest negative parity
state is found at m_{Theta}\simeq 1.75 GeV, which is rather close to the
empirical value. To confirm that this state is a compact 5Q resonance, a new
method with ``hybrid boundary condition (HBC)'' is proposed. The HBC analysis
shows that the observed state in the negative parity channel is an NK
scattering state.Comment: A talk given at International Workshop PENTAQUARK04, July 20-23, 2004

Constitutive Equations for Sands and Overconsolidated Clays under Dynamic Loads Based on Elasto-Plasticity
This paper is concerned with the constitutive equations of the sands and overconsolidated clays under cyclic loads. The constitutive equations are derived, based on the theory of plasticity and real stress-strain behavior of soils, The non-associated flow rule is applied to the derivation of the equations. The derived equations can explain the mechanical behavior of overconsolidated clays and sands under cyclic stresses and have nine soil parameters, and are applicable to liquefaction analysis
Liquefaction Analysis of Sand Deposits Based on Cyclic Elasto-Piasticity
The one-dimentional liquefaction analysis of sand deposits is performed by using the theory of two-phase mixture and the elasto-plastic constitutive equations of sand that can describe the dynamic dilatancy effect of soil under cyclic loading. The analytical results obtained by finite difference method explain well the dynamic behavior of sand deposits including liquefaction phenomena. Especially, the stress path which is particular to liquefaction is presented by considering a horizontally confined condition
A Consistent Study of the the Low Energy Baryon Spectrum and the Nucleon-Nucleon Interaction within the Chiral Quark Model
By solving the Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the three-quark system in the
hyperspherical harmonic approach, we have studied the low energy part of the
nucleon and spectra using a quark-quark interaction which reproduces
the nucleon-nucleon phenomenology. The quark-quark hamiltonian considered
includes, besides the usual one-gluon exchange, pion and sigma exchanges
generated by the chiral symmetry breaking. The baryonic spectrum obtained is
reasonable and the resulting wave function gives consistency to the ansatz used
in the two baryon system.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys. Lett.
Parametric resonance at the critical temperature in high energy heavy ion collisions
Parametric resonance in soft modes at the critical temperature () in
high energy heavy ion collisions is studied in the case when the temperature
() of the system is almost constant for a long time. By deviding the fields
into three parts, zero mode (condensate), soft modes and hard modes and
assuming that the hard modes are in thermal equilibrium, we derive the equation
of motion for soft modes at . Enhanced modes are extracted by
comparing with the Mathieu equation for the condensate oscillating along the
sigma axis at . It is found that the soft mode of fields at
about 174 MeV is enhanced.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure Some statements and equations are modified to
