Non-perturbative improvement of bilinears in unquenched QCD
We describe how the improvement of quark bilinears generalizes from quenched
to unquenched QCD, and discuss which of the additional improvement constants
can be determined using Ward Identities.Comment: LATTICE99 (Improvement and Renormalization). 3 pages, no figures.

Insular Carcinoma of Thyroid Presenting as a Giant Skull Lesion: A Dilemma in Treatment.
Thyroid surgeons are becoming increasingly more aware of a histologically distinct subset of thyroid carcinoma whose classification falls between well-differentiated and anaplastic carcinomas with respect to both cell differentiation and clinical behavior. This subtype of tumors has been categorized as poorly differentiated or insular carcinoma, based on its characteristic cell groupings. Although the differentiation of insular carcinoma from other thyroid carcinomas has important prognostic and therapeutic significance, relatively little about insular carcinoma has been published in the otolaryngology literature. In this article, we discuss a case of insular carcinoma of thyroid presenting with concurrent distant metastasis to skull, lung, ribs, and inguinal region with review of the literature. We conclude that insular thyroid carcinoma warrants aggressive management with total thyroidectomy and excision of accessible giant lesion followed by radioactive iodine ablation of any remaining thyroid tissue
Non-perturbative Renormalization Constants using Ward Identities
We extend the application of vector and axial Ward identities to calculate
, and , coefficients that give the mass dependence of the
renormalization constants of the corresponding bilinear operators in the
quenched theory. The extension relies on using operators with non-degenerate
quark masses. It allows a complete determination of the improvement
coefficients for bilinears in the quenched approximation using Ward Identities
alone. Only the scale dependent normalization constants (or )
and are undetermined. We present results of a pilot numerical study using
hadronic correlators.Comment: 3 pages. Makefile and sources included. Talk presented at LATTICE98

Analytical bounds on quality of service for an indoor personal communication system with general distributed handoff traffic and dynamic channel allocation
In this paper, we propose an indoor mobility model consisting of asymmetric pico-cells for a typical personal communication system. Cell-wise mobility characteristics and the overall mobility characteristic of the system are obtained. The proposed model utilises Dynamic Channel Allocation (DCA) for effective load balancing and General distributed handoff traffic for accurate Quality of Service (QoS) estimates. Various QoS parameters have been computed for the typical indoor cellular structure. Results are compared with existing classes of models viz. Timid DCA, Aggressive DCA and Fixed Channel Allocation (FCA), which does not use load balancing. The proposed model is useful in designing indoor cellular system as it allocates channel resources effectively with fairly accurate QoS estimates
Study of Dissipative Collisions of Ne (7-11 MeV/nucleon) + Al
The inclusive energy distributions of complex fragments (3 Z 9)
emitted in the reactions Ne (145, 158, 200, 218 MeV) + Al have
been measured in the angular range 10 - 50. The fusion-fission and
the deep-inelastic components of the fragment yield have been extracted using
multiple Gaussian functions from the experimental fragment energy spectra. The
elemental yields of the fusion-fission component have been found to be fairly
well exlained in the framework of standard statistical model. It is found that
there is strong competition between the fusion-fission and the deep-inelastic
processes at these energies. The time scale of the deep-inelastic process was
estimated to be typically in the range of 10 - 10 sec.,
and it was found to decrease with increasing fragment mass. The angular
momentum dissipations in fully energy damped deep-inelastic process have been
estimated from the average energies of the deep-inelastic components of the
fragment energy spectra. It has been found that, the estimated angular momentum
dissipations, for lighter fragments in particular, are more than those
predicted by the empirical sticking limit.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Giant Dipole Resonance Width in near-Sn Nuclei at Low Temperature and High Angular Momentum
High energy gamma-rays in coincidence with low energy yrast gamma-rays have
been measured from 113Sb, at excitation energies of 109 and 122 MeV, formed by
bombarding 20Ne on 93Nb at projectile energies of 145 and 160 MeV respectively
to study the role of angular momentum (J) and temperature (T) over Giant Dipole
Resonance (GDR) width. The maximum populated angular momenta for fusion were
67hbar and 73hbar respectively for the above-mentioned beam energies. The high
energy photons were detected using a Large Area Modular BaF2 Detector Array
(LAMBDA) along with a 24-element multiplicity filter. After pre-equilibrium
corrections, the excitation energy E* was averaged over the decay steps of the
compound nucleus (CN). The average values of temperature, angular momentum, CN
mass etc. have been calculated by the statistical model code CASCADE. Using
those average values, results show the systematic increase of GDR width with T
which is consistent with Kusnezov parametrization and the Thermal Shape
Fluctuation Model. The rise of GDR width with temperature also supports the
assumptions of adiabatic coupling in the Thermal Shape Fluctuation Model. But
the GDR widths and corresponding reduced plots with J are not consistent with
the theoretical model at high spins.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figures, Submitted to Physics Review
Evidence of large nuclear deformation of S formed in Ne + C reaction
Deformations of hot composite S formed in the reaction Ne
( 7 -- 10 MeV/nucleon) + C have been estimated from the respective
inclusive -particle evaporation spectra. The estimated deformations for
S have been found to be much larger than the `normal' deformations
of hot, rotating composites at similar excitations. This further confirms the
formation of highly deformed long-lived configuration of Ne + C
at high excitations ( 70 -- 100 MeV) -- which was recently indicated from
the analysis of the complex fragment emission data for the same system.
Exclusive -particle evaporation spectra from the decay of hot composite
S also show similar behaviour.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Picosecond carrier lifetime in erbiumâdopedâGaAs
The dependence of freeâcarrier lifetime on erbium concentration has been measured in molecularâbeam epitaxial GaAs epilayers doped with erbium. A gradual reduction in the lifetime is observed with increased dopant incorporation. For a high doping concentration in the range of 1019 cmâ3 or greater, a carrier lifetime of âŒ1 ps is obtained. Due to the high resistivity of these epilayers, they can also be used as a photoconductive switch, with good responsivity. This leads to new and novel applications for rareâearth doped IIIâV semiconductors.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/70938/2/APPLAB-62-10-1128-1.pd
