Classical Integrable N=1 and Super Sinh-Gordon Models with Jump Defects
The structure of integrable field theories in the presence of jump defects is
discussed in terms of boundary functions under the Lagrangian formalism.
Explicit examples of bosonic and fermionic theories are considered. In
particular, the boundary functions for the N=1 and N=2 super sinh-Gordon models
are constructed and shown to generate the Backlund transformations for its
soliton solutions. As a new and interesting example, a solution with an
incoming boson and an outgoing fermion for the N=1 case is presented. The
resulting integrable models are shown to be invariant under supersymmetric
transformation.Comment: talk presented at the V International Symposium on Quantum Theory and

Plastic Deformation of 2D Crumpled Wires
When a single long piece of elastic wire is injected trough channels into a
confining two-dimensional cavity, a complex structure of hierarchical loops is
formed. In the limit of maximum packing density, these structures are described
by several scaling laws. In this paper it is investigated this packing process
but using plastic wires which give origin to completely irreversible structures
of different morphology. In particular, it is studied experimentally the
plastic deformation from circular to oblate configurations of crumpled wires,
obtained by the application of an axial strain. Among other things, it is shown
that in spite of plasticity, irreversibility, and very large deformations,
scaling is still observed.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure

Dressing approach to the nonvanishing boundary value problem for the AKNS hierarchy
We propose an approach to the nonvanishing boundary value problem for
integrable hierarchies based on the dressing method. Then we apply the method
to the AKNS hierarchy. The solutions are found by introducing appropriate
vertex operators that takes into account the boundary conditions.Comment: Published version Proc. Quantum Theory and Symmetries 7

Structural properties of crumpled cream layers
The cream layer is a complex heterogeneous material of biological origin
which forms spontaneously at the air-milk interface. Here, it is studied the
crumpling of a single cream layer packing under its own weight at room
temperature in three-dimensional space. The structure obtained in these
circumstances has low volume fraction and anomalous fractal dimensions. Direct
means and noninvasive NMR imaging technique are used to investigate the
internal and external structure of these systems.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, accepted in J. Phys. D: Appl. Phy
Assessing the adequacy of the bare optical potential in near-barrier fusion calculation
We critically examine the differences among the different bare nuclear
interactions used in near-barrier heavy ion fusion analysis and
Coupled-Channels calculations, and discuss the possibility of extracting the
barrier parameters of the bare potential from above-barrier data. We show that
the choice of the bare potential may be critical for the analysis of the fusion
cross sections. We show also that the barrier parameters taken from above
barrier data may be very wrong.Comment: 8 pages, 3 tables, 8 figures. Submitted to Physical Review
