Parity-violating coupling constant from the flavor-conserving effective weak chiral Lagrangian
We investigate the parity-violating pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constant
, based on the chiral quark-soliton model. We employ an effective
weak Hamiltonian that takes into account the next-to-leading order corrections
from QCD to the weak interactions at the quark level. Using the gradient
expansion, we derive the leading-order effective weak chiral Lagrangian with
the low-energy constants determined. The effective weak chiral Lagrangian is
incorporated in the chiral quark-soliton model to calculate the
parity-violating constant . We obtain a value of about
at the leading order. The corrections from the next-to-leading order
reduce the leading order result by about 20~\%.Comment: 12 page
Dynamical mean-field theory of Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling: Zero temperature metal-insulator and insulator-insulator transitions
We study the Hubbard-Holstein model, which includes both the
electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions characterized by and
, respectively, employing the dynamical mean-field theory combined with
Wilson's numerical renormalization group technique. A zero temperature phase
diagram of metal-insulator and insulator-insulator transitions at half-filling
is mapped out which exhibits the interplay between and . As () is
increased, a metal to Mott-Hubbard insulator (bipolaron insulator) transition
occurs, and the two insulating states are distinct and can not be adiabatically
connected. The nature of and transitions between the three states are
discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Submitted to Physical Review Letter
VR/AR head-mounted display system based measurement and evaluation of dynamic visual acuity
This study evaluated the dynamic visual acuity of candidates by implementing a King–Devick (K-D) test chart in a virtual reality head-mounted display (VR HMD) and an augmented reality head-mounted display (AR HMD). Hard-copy KD (HCKD), VR HMD KD (VHKD), and AR HMD KD (AHKD) tests were conducted in 30 male and female candidates in the age of 10S and 20S and subjective symptom surveys were conducted.
In the subjective symptom surveys, all except one of the VHKD questionnaire items showed subjective symptoms of less than 1 point. In the comparison between HCKD and VHKD, HCKD was measured more rapidly than VHKD in all tests. In the comparison between HCKD and AHKD, HCKD was measured more rapidly than AHKD in Tests 1, 2, and 3. In the comparison between VHKD and AHKD, AHKD was measured more rapidly than VHKD in Tests 1, 2, and 3. In the correlation analyses of test platforms, all platforms were correlated with each other, except for the correlation between HCKD and VHKD in Tests 1 and 2. There was no significant difference in the frequency of errors among Tests 1, 2, and 3 across test platforms.
VHKD and AHKD, which require the body to be moved to read the chart, required longer measurement time than HCKD. In the measurements of each platform, AHKD was measured closer to HCKD than VHKD, which may be because the AHKD environment is closer to the actual environment than the VHKD environment. The effectiveness of VHKD and AHKD proposed in this research was evaluated experimentally. The results suggest that treatment and training could be performed concurrently through the use of clinical test and content development of VHKD and AHKD
