    A Liapunov functional for a matrix neutral difference-differential equation with one delay

    AbstractFor the matrix neutral difference-differential equation ẋ(t) + Aẋ(t − τ)  Bx(t) + Cx(t − τ) we construct a quadratic Liapunov functional which gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the solutions of that equation. We consider a difference equation approximation of the difference-differential equation, and for this difference equation we construct a Liapunov function from which we obtain the desired Liapunov functional by an appropriate limiting process. The Liapunov functional thus obtained gives the best possible estimate for the rates of growth or decay of the solutions of the matrix neutral difference-differential equation. The results obtained are natural generalizations of previous results obtained for a matrix retarded difference-differential equation with one delay

    DDBJ dealing with mass data produced by the second generation sequencer

    DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ) (http://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp) collected and released 2 368 110 entries or 1 415 106 598 bases in the period from July 2007 to June 2008. The releases in this period include genome scale data of Bombyx mori, Oryzas latipes, Drosophila and Lotus japonicus. In addition, from this year we collected and released trace archive data in collaboration with National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The first release contains those of O. latipes and bacterial meta genomes in human gut. To cope with the current progress of sequencing technology, we also accepted and released more than 100 million of short reads of parasitic protozoa and their hosts that were produced by using a Solexa sequencer

    ÎČdecay of the 21/2^+ isomer in ^<93>Mo and level structure of ^<93>Nb

    The Îł rays associated with ÎČ decay of the 21/2^+ isomer in ^Mo (Ex=2.425 MeV, T_=6.85 h) were measured with a selective sensitivity to long-lived isomer decays. A new 1262-keV transition was found in the Îł-Îł coincidence measurement, and it was attributed to a transition in ^Nb, which is the daughter nucleus of the ÎČ decay of the ^Mo isomer, from the 2.753- to the 1.491-MeV levels. Accurate Îł-ray intensity balances have determined the ÎČ-decay intensity from the ^Mo isomer to the 2.753-MeV level in ^Nb and placed no appreciable intensity for the previously reported ÎČ-decay branching to the 2.180-MeV level, for which a recent in-beam Îł-ray experiment assigned to be I^π = 17/2^-. Based on the Îł-ray intensities from the 2.753-MeV level, spin-parity assignment of this level was revised from 21/2^+ to 19/2^+. The observed ÎČ-decay intensity and the spin-parity assignment were explained by the jj-coupling shell model calculations

    J1406+0102: Dust Obscured Galaxy Hiding Super Eddington Accretion System with Bright Radio Emission

    Full text link
    Recent high-zz quasar observations strongly indicate that super-Eddington accretion is a crucial phase to describe the existence of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with MBH≳109M⊙M_\mathrm{BH} \gtrsim 10^9 M_\odot at z≳7z \gtrsim 7. Motivated by the theoretical suggestion that the super-Eddington phase efficiently produces outflows and jets bright in radio bands, we search and find a super-Eddington radio-loud dust-obscured galaxy (DOG) J1406+0102 at z=0.236z=0.236, through cross-matching of the infrared-bright DOGs of Noboriguchi et al. (2019) with the VLA/FIRST 1.4 GHz radio and the SDSS optical spectral catalog. DOG J1406+0102 shows broad components in the Balmer lines. Assuming those lines are from the broad line region, it gives BH mass estimation of log⁥ (MBH/M⊙)=7.30±0.25\log\ (M_\mathrm{BH}/M_\odot)=7.30 \pm 0.25, and AGN luminosity of log⁥(Lbol,[OIII]/erg s−1)=45.91±0.38\log (L_\mathrm{bol,[OIII]}/\mathrm{erg}~\mathrm{s}^{-1}) = 45.91\pm0.38 estimated from the intrinsic [OIII] luminosity, resulting in super-Eddington accretion of λEdd≃3\lambda_\mathrm{Edd}\simeq 3. We show that 1) DOG J1406+0102 is operating strong AGN feedback: the [OIII] outflow velocity exceeds the escape velocity of the host galaxy halo and the kinetic efficiency is obtained as ≈\approx 8% that can be sufficient to quench the host galaxy, 2) the expected future growth pathway of DOG J1406+0102 would join an over-massive BH trajectory and 3) radio-loud DOGs can provide a significant contribution to the high-energy (≳\gtrsim 100 TeV) cosmic neutrino background if we assume DOG J1406+0102 as a representative of radio-loud DOGs.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures, submitted to ApJ

    Determining the 7Li(n,gamma) cross section via Coulomb dissociation of 8Li

    Get PDF
    The applicability of Coulomb dissociation reactions to determine the cross section for the inverse neutron capture reaction was explored using the reaction 8Li(gamma,n)7Li. A 69.5 MeV/nucleon 8Li beam was incident on a Pb target, and the outgoing neutron and 7Li nucleus were measured in coincidence. The deduced (n,gamma) excitation function is consistent with data for the direct capture reaction 7Li(n,gamma)8Li and with low-energy effective field theory calculations.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
