Mass Formula for a Stationary Axisymmetric Configuration and the Physical Realization of the Kerr Metric
We analyse the expression for the mass of a stationary axisymmetric
configuration in general relativity obtained in our previous work [1]. From the
generality of our formula and its incompatibility with the corresponding
expression in Kerr space-time we argue that a stationary equilibrium
distribution of a real matter cannot be a source of the Kerr metric.Comment: RevTex, 5 pages, no figure
A New Formula for the Mass of a Stationary Axisymmetric Configuration
It has been shown by one of the authors that in isotropic spherical
coordinates there is a relation between the mass of a static spherical
gravitating body and the pressure distribution inside it. In this paper the
result is generalized for the case of stationary axisymmetric configurations.Comment: Plain Tex; 6 page
Genetic engineering of peptide hormones : II. Possible polymorphism of preprolactin in cattle. Data of molecular cloning
Primary structure is determined of an insertion of a clone isolated from the library of hypophyseal cDNA of cattle by hybridization with a probe specific for prolactin. Analysis of nucleotide sequences showed that in the process of cloning, reorganization occurred in structure of preprolactin cDNA, including an inversion of the 5'-terminal and deletion of the central section of cDNA. Nevertheless, from structure of cDNA, nucleotide sequences can be deduced of extended 5'- and 3'-terminal sections of preprolactin mRNA in cattle with lengths of 257 and 551 nucleotide residues, respectively. When these sequences are compared to those established previously, some differences were found in primary structure. The most important of them is the presence of an additional codon which codes alanine at the position (-22) of the signal peptide. It is suggested that heterogeneity of preprolactin mRNA of cattle in the section coding the signal peptide is the result of alternative splicing, as was shown for preprolactin mRNA in rats
Novel Transversity Properties in Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering
The -odd distribution functions contributing to transversity properties of
the nucleon and their role in fueling nontrivial contributions to azimuthal
asymmetries in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering are investigated. We
use a dynamical model to evaluate these quantities in terms of HERMES
kinematics.Comment: 5 pages revtex; 5 eps figures. References added. To appear as a Rapid

Measurement of single-spin azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive electroproduction of pions and kaons on a longitudinally polarised deuterium target
Single-spin asymmetries have been measured for semi-inclusive
electroproduction of , , and mesons in
deep-inelastic scattering off a longitudinally polarised deuterium target. The
asymmetries appear in the distribution of the hadrons in the azimuthal angle
around the virtual photon direction, relative to the lepton scattering
plane. The corresponding analysing powers in the moment of the
cross section are for ,
for ,
for and for . The moments are
compatible with zero for all particles.Comment: Revised version shortened 9 pages, 3 tables, 7 figure
Flavor decomposition of the sea quark helicity distributions in the nucleon from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering
Double-spin asymmetries of semi-inclusive cross sections for the production
of identified pions and kaons have been measured in deep-inelastic scattering
of polarized positrons on a polarized deuterium target. Five helicity
distributions including those for three sea quark flavors were extracted from
these data together with re-analyzed previous data for identified pions from a
hydrogen target. These distributions are consistent with zero for all three sea
flavors. A recently predicted flavor asymmetry in the polarization of the light
quark sea appears to be disfavored by the data.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Nuclear Polarization of Molecular Hydrogen Recombined on a Non-metallic Surface
The nuclear polarization of molecules formed by recombination
of nuclear polarized H atoms on the surface of a storage cell initially coated
with a silicon-based polymer has been measured by using the longitudinal
double-spin asymmetry in deep-inelastic positron-proton scattering. The
molecules are found to have a substantial nuclear polarization, which is
evidence that initially polarized atoms retain their nuclear polarization when
absorbed on this type of surfac
Evidence for Quark-Hadron Duality in the Proton Spin Asymmetry
Spin-dependent lepton-nucleon scattering data have been used to investigate
the validity of the concept of quark-hadron duality for the spin asymmetry
. Longitudinally polarised positrons were scattered off a longitudinally
polarised hydrogen target for values of between 1.2 and 12 GeV and
values of between 1 and 4 GeV. The average double-spin asymmetry in
the nucleon resonance region is found to agree with that measured in
deep-inelastic scattering at the same values of the Bjorken scaling variable
. This finding implies that the description of in terms of quark
degrees of freedom is valid also in the nucleon resonance region for values of
above 1.6 GeV.Comment: 5 pages, 1 eps figure, table added, new references added, in print in
