Parametric resonance at the critical temperature in high energy heavy ion collisions
Parametric resonance in soft modes at the critical temperature () in
high energy heavy ion collisions is studied in the case when the temperature
() of the system is almost constant for a long time. By deviding the fields
into three parts, zero mode (condensate), soft modes and hard modes and
assuming that the hard modes are in thermal equilibrium, we derive the equation
of motion for soft modes at . Enhanced modes are extracted by
comparing with the Mathieu equation for the condensate oscillating along the
sigma axis at . It is found that the soft mode of fields at
about 174 MeV is enhanced.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure Some statements and equations are modified to

Spin-state transition and phase separation in multi-orbital Hubbard model
We study spin-state transition and phase separation involving this transition
based on the milti-orbital Hubbard model. Multiple spin states are realized by
changing the energy separation between the two orbitals and the on-site Hund
coupling. By utilizing the variational Monte-Carlo simulation, we analyze the
electronic and magnetic structures in hole doped and undoped states. Electronic
phase separation occurs between the low-spin band insulating state and the
high-spin ferromagnetic metallic one. Difference of the band widths in the two
orbitals is of prime importance for the spin-state transition and the phase
separation.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Coordination of flagella on filamentous cells of Escherichia coli
Video techniques were used to study the coordination of different flagella on single filamentous cells of Escherichia coli. Filamentous, nonseptate cells were produced by introducing a cell division mutation into a strain that was polyhook but otherwise wild type for chemotaxis. Markers for its flagellar motors (ordinary polyhook cells that had been fixed with glutaraldehyde) were attached with antihook antibodies. The markers were driven alternately clockwise and counterclockwise, at angular velocities comparable to those observed when wild-type cells are tethered to glass. The directions of rotation of different markers on the same cell were not correlated; reversals of the flagellar motors occurred asynchronously. The bias of the motors (the fraction of time spent spinning counterclockwise) changed with time. Variations in bias were correlated, provided that the motors were within a few micrometers of one another. Thus, although the directions of rotation of flagellar motors are not controlled by a common intracellular signal, their biases are. This signal appears to have a limited range

Baryons with D5 Brane Vertex and k-Quarks
We study baryons in SU(N) gauge theories, according to the gauge/string
correspondence based on IIB string theory. The D5 brane, in which
fundamental strings are dissolved as a color singlet, is introduced as the
baryon vertex, and its configurations are studied. We find point- and
split-type of vertex. In the latter case, two cusps appears and they are
connected by a flux composed of dissolved fundamental strings with a definite
tension. In both cases, fundamental quarks are attached on the cusp(s) of
the vertex to cancel the surface term. In the confining phase, we find that the
quark in the baryon feel the potential increasing linearly with the distance
from the vertex. At finite temperature and in the deconfining phase, we find a
stable k-quarks "baryons", which are constructed of arbitrary number of
quarks.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure
Polarization Dependence of Anomalous X-ray Scattering in Orbital Ordered Manganites
In order to determine types of the orbital ordering in manganites, we study
theoretically the polarization dependence of the anomalous X-ray scattering
which is caused by the anisotropy of the scattering factor. The general
formulae of the scattering intensity in the experimental optical system is
derived and the atomic scattering factor is calculated in the microscopic
electronic model. By using the results, the X-ray scattering intensity in
several types of the orbital ordering is numerically calculated as a function
of azimuthal and analyzer angles.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Liver transplantation for type IV glycogen storage disease
TYPE IV glycogen storage disease is a rare autosomal recessive disorder (also called Andersen's disease1 or amylopectinosis) in which the activity of branching enzyme alpha-1, 4-glucan: alpha-1, 4-glucan 6-glucosyltransferase is deficient in the liver as well as in cultured skin fibroblasts and other tissues.2,3 This branching enzyme is responsible for creating branch points in the normal glycogen molecule. In the relative or absolute absence of this enzyme, an insoluble and irritating form of glycogen, an amylopectin-like polysaccharide that resembles plant starch, accumulates in the cells. The amylopectin-like form is less soluble than normal glycogen, with longer outer and inner chains. © 1991, Massachusetts Medical Society. All rights reserved
Thermodynamics of Squashed Kaluza-Klein Black Holes and Black Strings -- A Comparison of Reference Backgrounds --
We investigate thermodynamics constructed on different background reference
spacetimes for squashed Kaluza-Klein (SqKK) black hole and electrically charged
black string in five-dimensional Einstein-Maxwell system. Two spacetimes are
possible to be reference spacetimes giving finite gravitational classical
actions: one is four-dimensional Minkowski times a circle and the other is the
KK monopole. The boundary of the SqKK black hole can not be matched perfectly
to that of the former reference spacetime because of the difference in
topology. However, the resultant classical action coincides with that
calculated by the counterterm subtraction scheme. The boundary of the KK
monopole has the same topology with that of the SqKK black hole and can be
matched to the boundary of the black hole perfectly. The resultant action takes
different value from the result given by using the former reference spacetime.
After a brief review of thermodynamic quantities of the black hole solutions,
we calculate thermodynamic potentials relevant for several thermodynamic
environments. The most stable state is different for each environment: For
example, the KK monopole is the most stable state in isothermal environment
with fixed gravitational tension. On the other hand, when the size of the
extra-dimension is fixed, the Minkowski times a circle is the most stable. It
is shown that these two spacetimes can be reference spacetimes of the
five-dimensional black string.Comment: 28 pages; references added, typo corrected;version accepted for

Electron Localization in the Insulating State
The insulating state of matter is characterized by the excitation spectrum,
but also by qualitative features of the electronic ground state. The insulating
ground wavefunction in fact: (i) sustains macroscopic polarization, and (ii) is
localized. We give a sharp definition of the latter concept, and we show how
the two basic features stem from essentially the same formalism. Our approach
to localization is exemplified by means of a two--band Hubbard model in one
dimension. In the noninteracting limit the wavefunction localization is
measured by the spread of the Wannier orbitals.Comment: 5 pages including 3 figures, submitted to PR
