Scattering below critical energy for the radial 4D Yang-Mills equation and for the 2D corotational wave map system
We describe the asymptotic behavior as time goes to infinity of solutions of
the 2 dimensional corotational wave map system and of solutions to the 4
dimensional, radially symmetric Yang-Mills equation, in the critical energy
space, with data of energy smaller than or equal to a harmonic map of minimal
energy. An alternative holds: either the data is the harmonic map and the
soltuion is constant in time, or the solution scatters in infinite time
‘Deliberate Preparation’ as an evidence-based focus for primary physical education
There is substantial scientific research suggesting the physical and psychological health benefits of a physically active lifestyle. Consequently, governments worldwide prioritize policies, finances, and resources in healthcare, education, and sports sectors to increase mass participation in physical activity. However, practices in physical activity promotion are often not underpinned by evidence-based standardization that is requisite in other domains of epidemiology. The aim of this article is to examine critically the available scientific research on promoting life-long physical activity participation and to propose an evidence-based model for implementation in school physical education. Reasons are discussed as to why programs that integrate physical, psychological, and behavioral skills have been long acknowledged in physical education and physical activity domains but remain lacking in empirical validation. Finally, future directions are suggested that are required to examine the application of this approach to practice in primary-level physical education
Stable self-similar blow-up dynamics for slightly -supercritical generalized KdV equations
In this paper we consider the slightly -supercritical gKdV equations
, with the nonlinearity
and . We will prove the existence and
stability of a blow-up dynamic with self-similar blow-up rate in the energy
space and give a specific description of the formation of the singularity
near the blow-up time.Comment: 38 page
Model study on the photoassociation of a pair of trapped atoms into an ultralong-range molecule
Using the method of quantum-defect theory, we calculate the ultralong-range
molecular vibrational states near the dissociation threshold of a diatomic
molecular potential which asymptotically varies as . The properties of
these states are of considerable interest as they can be formed by
photoassociation (PA) of two ground state atoms. The Franck-Condon overlap
integrals between the harmonically trapped atom-pair states and the
ultralong-range molecular vibrational states are estimated and compared with
their values for a pair of untrapped free atoms in the low-energy scattering
state. We find that the binding between a pair of ground-state atoms by a
harmonic trap has significant effect on the Franck-Condon integrals and thus
can be used to influence PA. Trap-induced binding between two ground-state
atoms may facilitate coherent PA dynamics between the two atoms and the
photoassociated diatomic molecule.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. A (September, 2003
Strong Correlation to Weak Correlation Phase Transition in Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems
At small layer separations, the ground state of a nu=1 bilayer quantum Hall
system exhibits spontaneous interlayer phase coherence and has a
charged-excitation gap E_g. The evolution of this state with increasing layer
separation d has been a matter of controversy. In this letter we report on
small system exact diagonalization calculations which suggest that a single
phase transition, likely of first order, separates coherent incompressible (E_g
>0) states with strong interlayer correlations from incoherent compressible
states with weak interlayer correlations. We find a dependence of the phase
boundary on d and interlayer tunneling amplitude that is in very good agreement
with recent experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures included, version to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
Banana and plantain embryogenic cell suspensions
This guideline presents two protocols to produce embryogenic cell suspensions by using scalps or immature male flowers. The protocols have been developed by the Laboratory of Tropical Crop Improvement of Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KULeuven) and the cellular biology laboratory of the Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développement (Cirad)
