Cooper Pair Formation in U(1) Gauge Theory of High Temperature Superconductivity
We study the two-dimensional spin-charge separated Ginzburg-Landau theory
containing U(1) gauge interactions as a semi-phenomenological model describing
fluctuating condensates in high temperature superconductivity. Transforming the
original GL action, we abstract the effective action of Cooper pair.
Especially, we clarify how Cooper pair correlation evolves in the normal state
from the point of view of spin-charge separation. Furthermore, we point out how
Cooper pair couples to gauge field in a gauge-invariant way, stressing the
insensitivity of Cooper pair to infrared gauge field fluctuation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures included, submitted to J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Phase Separation Based on U(1) Slave-boson Functional Integral Approach to the t-J Model
We investigate the phase diagram of phase separation for the hole-doped two
dimensional system of antiferromagnetically correlated electrons based on the
U(1) slave-boson functional integral approach to the t-J model. We show that
the phase separation occurs for all values of J/t, that is, whether or with J, the Heisenberg coupling constant and t, the hopping
strength. This is consistent with other numerical studies of hole-doped two
dimensional antiferromagnets. The phase separation in the physically
interesting J region, is examined by introducing
hole-hole (holon-holon) repulsive interaction. We find from this study that
with high repulsive interaction between holes the phase separation boundary
tends to remain robust in this low region, while in the high J region, J/t
> 0.4, the phase separation boundary tends to disappear.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
“The Continuing Imperative of Value Theory”, translated into Turkish
This paper addresses two important, conspicuous topics for the understanding of contemporary capitalism: the world market and the knowledge economy. By
locating these within Marx’s value theory, its authors take issue with other interpretations that explicitly reject or misinterpret Marx’s value theory in light of these themes. More general, these exercises point to the need for value theory and the fact that it should and can move beyond its traditional terrain, collaborating with other strands of critical thought in understanding developments within contemporary societ
Stripes due to the next-nearest neighbor exchange in high-Tc cuprates
We propose a possible mechanism of the charge stripe order due to the
next-nearest neighbor exchange interaction J' in the two-dimensional t-J model,
based on the concept of the phase separation. We also calculate some hole
correlation functions of the finite cluster of the model using the numerical
diagonalization, to examine the realization of the mechanism. It is also found
that the next-nearest neighbor hopping t' suppresses the stripe order induced
by the present mechanism for t'0.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, with 5 eps figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. B Rapid

Spiritual enrichment and improvement of each individual occurs throughout life including during training. Spirituality determines the direction of all mental, emotional, sensual, strong-willed human qualities and its ability to self yourself as a person. Master of Fine Arts acting carrier not only specialized knowledge and skills, but also a bearer of spiritual values. Humanizing education and aesthetic education aims at forming a harmonious whole person, her general cultural development. Art is an integral part of spiritual culture, a reflection of the artistic representations of the human form of the world of reality. The means of aesthetic education in the art of acting artistic image. Artistic image is a reflection of reality, which contains not only the subjective experience of the author, and understanding related to the objects of reality, but the prints are of cultural and historical experience, the aesthetic values of society as a whole. At their base is formed fully and harmoniously developed personality with higher moral values, aesthetic canons and ideals
Boundary degrees of freedom in fractional quantum Hall effect: Excitations on common boundary of two samples
Using the Carlip's method we have derived the boundary action for the fermion
Chern-Simons theory of quantum Hall effects on a planar region with a boundary.
We have computed both the bulk and edge responses of currents to the external
electric field. From this we obtain the well-known anomaly relation and the
boundary Hall current without introducing any ad hoc assumptions such as the
chirality condition. In addition, the edge current on the common boundary of
two samples is found to be proportional to the difference between Chern-Simons
coupling strengths.Comment: 20 pages, uses revte
Non-Fermi liquid behavior and scaling of low frequency suppression in optical conductivity spectra of CaRuO
Optical conductivity spectra of paramagnetic CaRuO are
investigated at various temperatures. At T=10 K, it shows a non-Fermi liquid
behavior of , similar to the case
of a ferromagnet SrRuO. As the temperature () is increased, on the other
hand, in the low frequency region is progressively
suppressed, deviating from the 1/{\omega}^{\frac 12%}-dependence.
Interestingly, the suppression of is found to scale with
at all temperatures. The origin of the scaling
behavior coupled with the non-Fermi liquid behavior is discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Mutation analysis of SDHB and SDHC: novel germline mutations in sporadic head and neck paraganglioma and familial paraganglioma and/or pheochromocytoma
BACKGROUND: Germline mutations of the SDHD, SDHB and SDHC genes, encoding three of the four subunits of succinate dehydrogenase, are a major cause of hereditary paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma, and demonstrate that these genes are classic tumor suppressors. Succinate dehydrogenase is a heterotetrameric protein complex and a component of both the Krebs cycle and the mitochondrial respiratory chain (succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase or complex II). METHODS: Using conformation sensitive gel electrophoresis (CSGE) and direct DNA sequencing to analyse genomic DNA from peripheral blood lymphocytes, here we describe the mutation analysis of the SDHB and SDHC genes in 37 patients with sporadic (i.e. no known family history) head and neck paraganglioma and five pheochromocytoma and/or paraganglioma families. RESULTS: Two sporadic patients were found to have a SDHB splice site mutation in intron 4, c.423+1G>A, which produces a mis-spliced transcript with a 54 nucleotide deletion, resulting in an 18 amino acid in-frame deletion. A third patient was found to carry the c.214C>T (p.Arg72Cys) missense mutation in exon 4 of SDHC, which is situated in a highly conserved protein motif that constitutes the quinone-binding site of the succinate: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (SQR) complex in E. coli. Together with our previous results, we found 27 germline mutations of SDH genes in 95 cases (28%) of sporadic head and neck paraganglioma. In addition all index patients of five families showing hereditary pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma were found to carry germline mutations of SDHB: four of which were novel, c.343C>T (p.Arg115X), c.141G>A (p.Trp47X), c.281G>A (p.Arg94Lys), and c.653G>C (p.Trp218Ser), and one reported previously, c.136C>T, p.Arg46X. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, these data indicate that germline mutations of SDHB and SDHC play a minor role in sporadic head and neck paraganglioma and further underline the importance of germline SDHB mutations in cases of familial pheochromocytoma-paraganglioma
Is PTEN loss associated with clinical outcome measures in human prostate cancer?
Inactivating PTEN mutations are commonly found in prostate cancer, resulting in an increased activation of Akt. In this study, we investigate the role of PTEN deletion and protein expression in the development of hormone-refractory prostate cancer using matched hormone-sensitive and hormone-refractory tumours. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation and immunohistochemistry was carried out to investigate PTEN gene deletion and PTEN protein expression in the transition from hormone-sensitive to hormone-refractory prostate cancer utilising 68 matched hormone sensitive and hormone-refractory tumour pairs (one before and one after hormone relapse). Heterogeneous PTEN gene deletion was observed in 23% of hormone sensitive tumours. This increased significantly to 52% in hormone-refractory tumours (P=0.044). PTEN protein expression was observed in the membrane, cytoplasm and the nucleus. In hormone sensitive tumours, low levels of cytoplasmic PTEN was independently associated with shorter time to relapse compared to high levels of PTEN (P=0.028, hazard ratio 0.51 (95%CI 0.27–0.93). Loss of PTEN expression in the nucleus of hormone sensitive tumours was independently associated with disease-specific survival (P=0.031, hazard ratio 0.52, 95%CI 0.29–0.95). The results from this study demonstrate a role for both cytoplasmic and nuclear PTEN in progression of prostate cancer to the hormone-refractory state
