Two-loop beta functions of the Sine-Gordon model
We recalculate the two-loop beta functions in the two-dimensional Sine-Gordon
model in a two-parameter expansion around the asymptotically free point. Our
results agree with those of Amit et al., J. Phys. A13 (1980) 585.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, some correction
Analysis of measured high-resolution doublet rovibronic spectra and related line lists of 12CH and 16OH
Detailed understanding of the energy-level structure of the quantum states as well as of the rovibronic spectra of the ethylidyne (CH) and the hydroxyl (OH) radicals is mandatory for a multitude of modelling efforts within multiple chemical, combustion, astrophysical, and atmospheric environments. Accurate empirical rovibronic energy levels, with associated uncertainties, are reported for the low-lying doublet electronic states of 12CH and 16OH, using the Measured Active Rotational-Vibrational Energy Levels (Marvel) algorithm. For 12CH, a total of 1521 empirical energy levels are determined in the primary spectroscopic network (SN) of the radical, corresponding to the following seven electronic states: X 2Π, A 2Δ, B 2Σ−, C2 Σ+, D 2Π, E 2Σ+, and F 2Σ+. The energy levels are derived from 6348 experimentally measured and validated transitions, collected from 29 sources. For 16OH, the lowest four doublet electronic states, X 2Π, A 2Σ+, B 2Σ+, and C 2Σ+, are considered, and a careful analysis and validation of 15 938 rovibronic transitions, collected from 45 sources, results in 1624 empirical rovibronic energy levels. The large set of spectroscopic data presented should facilitate the refinement of line lists for the 12CH and 16OH radicals. For both molecules hyperfine-resolved experimental transitions have also been considered, forming SNs independent from the primary SNs
Nonlinear integral equations for finite volume excited state energies of the O(3) and O(4) nonlinear sigma-models
We propose nonlinear integral equations for the finite volume one-particle
energies in the O(3) and O(4) nonlinear sigma-models. The equations are written
in terms of a finite number of components and are therefore easier to solve
numerically than the infinite component excited state TBA equations proposed
earlier. Results of numerical calculations based on the nonlinear integral
equations and the excited state TBA equations agree within numerical precision.Comment: numerical results adde
Combining orthopaedic special tests to improve diagnosis of shoulder pathology.
This document is the accepted manuscript version of the following article: Eric J. Hegedus, et al, 'Combining orthopedic special tests to improve diagnosis of shoulder pathology', Physical Therapy in Sport, Vol. 16 (2): 87-92, May 2015, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ptsp.2014.08.001.

There is a great deal of research on special tests but much of the research is of a lower quality implying that the metrics from that research, sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios, is likely to vary greatly in the hands of different clinicians and in varying practice environments. A way to improve the clinical diagnostic process is to cluster OSTs and to use these clusters to either rule in or out different pathologies. The aim of the article is to review the best OST clusters, examine the methodology by which they were derived, and illustrate, with a case study, the use of these OST clusters to arrive at a pathology-based diagnosis.Peer reviewedProo
Contour deformation trick in hybrid NLIE
The hybrid NLIE of AdS_5 x S^5 is applied to a wider class of states. We find
that the Konishi state of the orbifold AdS_5 x (S^5/Z_S) satisfies A_1 NLIE
with the source terms which are derived from contour deformation trick. For
general states, we construct a deformed contour with which the contour
deformation trick yields the correct source terms.Comment: 39 pages, 6 figures, v2: discussion on analyticity constraints

Two New White Dwarfs With Variable Magnetic Balmer Emission Lines
We report the discovery of two apparently isolated stellar remnants that
exhibit rotationally modulated magnetic Balmer emission, adding to the emerging
DAHe class of white dwarf stars. While the previously discovered members of
this class show Zeeman-split triplet emission features corresponding to single
magnetic field strengths, these two new objects exhibit significant
fluctuations in their apparent magnetic field strengths with variability phase.
The Zeeman-split hydrogen emission lines in LP broaden from MG
to MG over an apparent spin period of minutes. Similarly, WD
J varies from MG to MG over its apparent
-minute rotation period. This brings the DAHe class of white dwarfs to
at least five objects, all with effective temperatures within K of
K and masses ranging from .Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures. Accepted for publication in MNRA
Hybrid-NLIE for the AdS/CFT spectral problem
Hybrid-NLIE equations, an alternative finite NLIE description for the
spectral problem of the super sigma model of AdS/CFT and its gamma-deformations
are derived by replacing the semi-infinite SU(2) and SU(4) parts of the AdS/CFT
TBA equations by a few appropriately chosen complex NLIE variables, which are
coupled among themselves and to the Y-functions associated to the remaining
central nodes of the TBA diagram. The integral equations are written explicitly
for the ground state of the gamma-deformed system. We linearize these NLIE
equations, analytically calculate the first correction to the asymptotic
solution and find agreement with analogous results coming from the original TBA
formalism. Our equations differ substantially from the recently published
finite FiNLIE formulation of the spectral problem.Comment: 63 pages, 1 figur
