The use of pure carbon for permanent percutaneous electrical connector systems
Pure carbon was used as an electrode in the clinical application of long-term neuromuscular stimulation, as well as a connector for permanent neuroelectrodes. The history of this material and some examples of the material in use are presented
Evidence for from photoproduction and consequence for chiral-symmetry restoration at high mass
We report a partial-wave analysis of new data on the double-polarization
variable for the reactions and
and of further data published earlier. The analysis within the Bonn-Gatchina
(BnGa) formalism reveals evidence for a poorly known baryon resonance, the
one-star . This is the lowest-mass resonance with
spin-parity . Its mass is significantly higher than the mass of its
parity partner which is the lowest-mass
resonance with spin-parity . It has been suggested that chiral
symmetry might be restored in the high-mass region of hadron excitations, and
that these two resonances should be degenerate in mass. Our findings are in
conflict with this prediction.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; Physics Letters B in pres
Systematic Mapping of the Hubbard Model to the Generalized t-J Model
The generalized t-J model conserving the number of double occupancies is
constructed from the Hubbard model at and in the vicinity of half-filling at
strong coupling. The construction is realized by a self-similar continuous
unitary transformation. The flow equation is closed by a truncation scheme
based on the spatial range of processes. We analyze the conditions under which
the t-J model can be set up and we find that it can only be defined for
sufficiently large interaction. There, the parameters of the effective model
are determined.Comment: 16 pages, 13 figures included. v2: Order of sections changed.

Interpolation and harmonic majorants in big Hardy-Orlicz spaces
Free interpolation in Hardy spaces is caracterized by the well-known Carleson
condition. The result extends to Hardy-Orlicz spaces contained in the scale of
classical Hardy spaces , . For the Smirnov and the Nevanlinna
classes, interpolating sequences have been characterized in a recent paper in
terms of the existence of harmonic majorants (quasi-bounded in the case of the
Smirnov class). Since the Smirnov class can be regarded as the union over all
Hardy-Orlicz spaces associated with a so-called strongly convex function, it is
natural to ask how the condition changes from the Carleson condition in
classical Hardy spaces to harmonic majorants in the Smirnov class. The aim of
this paper is to narrow down this gap from the Smirnov class to ``big''
Hardy-Orlicz spaces. More precisely, we characterize interpolating sequences
for a class of Hardy-Orlicz spaces that carry an algebraic structure and that
are strictly bigger than . It turns out that the
interpolating sequences are again characterized by the existence of
quasi-bounded majorants, but now the weights of the majorants have to be in
suitable Orlicz spaces. The existence of harmonic majorants in such Orlicz
spaces will also be discussed in the general situation. We finish the paper
with an example of a separated Blaschke sequence that is interpolating for
certain Hardy-Orlicz spaces without being interpolating for slightly smaller
ones.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figure
On "the authentic damping mechanism" of the phonon damping model
Some general features of the phonon damping model are presented. It is
concluded that the fits performed within this model have no physical content
The 1981 outburst of the old nova GK Persei
Old nova GK Per was observed in 1981 with the IUE, during its rise, maximum, and subsequent return to minimum. In outburst, GK Per is luminous but much redder than dwarf novae or standard model accretion disks. The observed spectrum can be explained qualitatively with the Ghosh and Lamb (1979) model for the interaction of an accretion disk with the magnetic field of the accreting white dwarf. The N V and He2 are enhanced relative to other emission lines during outburst. This can be understood with photoionization by very soft X-rays having a luminosity comparable to that of the hard X-rays
Bound States for a Magnetic Impurity in a Superconductor
We discuss a solvable model describing an Anderson like impurity in a BCS
superconductor. The model can be mapped onto an Ising field theory in a
boundary magnetic field, with the Ising fermions being the quasi-particles of
the Bogoliubov transformation in BCS theory. The reflection S-matrix exhibits
Andreev scattering, and the existence of bound states of the quasi-particles
with the impurity lying inside the superconducting gap.Comment: 7 pages, Plain Te
A system of relational syllogistic incorporating full Boolean reasoning
We present a system of relational syllogistic, based on classical
propositional logic, having primitives of the following form:
Some A are R-related to some B;
Some A are R-related to all B;
All A are R-related to some B;
All A are R-related to all B.
Such primitives formalize sentences from natural language like `All students
read some textbooks'. Here A and B denote arbitrary sets (of objects), and R
denotes an arbitrary binary relation between objects. The language of the logic
contains only variables denoting sets, determining the class of set terms, and
variables denoting binary relations between objects, determining the class of
relational terms. Both classes of terms are closed under the standard Boolean
operations. The set of relational terms is also closed under taking the
converse of a relation. The results of the paper are the completeness theorem
with respect to the intended semantics and the computational complexity of the
satisfiability problem.Comment: Available at

Accretion Disks Around Young Objects. III. Grain Growth
We present detailed models of irradiated T Tauri disks including dust grain
growth with power-law size distributions. The models assume complete mixing
between dust and gas and solve for the vertical disk structure
self-consistentlyincluding the heating effects of stellar irradiation as well
as local viscous heating. For a given total dust mass, grain growth is found to
decrease the vertical height of the surface where the optical depth to the
stellar radiation becomes unit and thus the local irradiation heating, while
increasing the disk emission at mm and sub-mm wavelengths. The resulting disk
models are less geometrically thick than our previous models assuming
interstellar medium dust, and agree better with observed spectral energy
distributions and images of edge-on disks, like HK Tau/c and HH 30. The
implications of models with grain growth for determining disk masses from
long-wavelength emission are considered.Comment: 29 pages, including 11 figures and 1 table, APJ accepte
