Non-diffractive mechanisms in the meson photoproduction on nucleons
We examine the non-diffractive mechanisms in the meson photoproduction
from threshold up to a few GeV using an effective Lagrangian in a constituent
quark model. The new data from CLAS at large angles can be consistently
accounted for in terms of {\it s}- and {\it u}-channel processes. Isotopic
effects arising from the reactions and , are investigated by comparing the cross sections and polarized beam
asymmetries. Our result highlights an experimental means of studying
non-diffractive mechanisms in meson photoproduction.Comment: 4 eps figures, version accepted by Phys. Lett.
CYLD: A DUB with Many Talents
The deubiquitinating enzyme CYLD is a tumor suppressor protein known for its role in repression of generally pro-oncogenic NF-κB activation pathways. Two new studies published in this and the September issue of Developmental Cell show that CYLD dismantles distinct types of polyubiquitin chains formed on select signaling proteins and is thereby required for normal vertebrate and invertebrate development
DFM synthesis approach based on product-process interface modelling. Application to the peen forming process.
Engineering design approach are curently CAD-centred design process. Manufacturing information is selected and assessed very late in the design process and above all as a reactive task instead of being proactive to lead the design choices. DFM appraoches are therefore assesment methods that compare several design alternatives and not real design approaches at all. Main added value of this research work concerns the use of a product-process interface model to jointly manage both the product and the manufacturing data in a proactive DFM way. The DFM synthesis approach and the interface model are presented via the description of the DFM software platform
N-qubit entanglement via the -type collective interaction
We investigate quantum correlations of the -qubit states via a collective
pseudo-spin interaction () on arbitrary pure separable states
for a given interval of time. Based on this dynamical generation of the
-qubit maximal entangled states, a quantum secret sharing protocol with
continuous classical secrets is developed.Comment: 12 pages, 3 figure
Effect of nanostructuration on compressibility of cubic BN
Compressibility of high-purity nanostructured cBN has been studied under
quasi-hydrostatic conditions at 300 K up to 35 GPa using diamond anvil cell and
angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. A data fit to the Vinet
equation of state yields the values of the bulk modulus B0 of 375(4) GPa with
its first pressure derivative B0' of 2.3(3). The nanometer grain size (\sim20
nm) results in decrease of the bulk modulus by ~9%
Magnetoresistance Effect in Spin-Polarized Junctions of Ferromagnetically Contacting Multiple Conductive Paths: Applications to Atomic Wires and Carbon Nanotubes
For spin-polarized junctions of ferromagnetically contacting multiple
conductive paths, such as ferromagnet (FM)/atomic wires/FM and FM/carbon
nanotubes/FM junctions, we theoretically investigate spin-dependent transport
to elucidate the intrinsic relation between the number of paths and conduction,
and to enhance the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio. When many paths are randomly
located between the two FMs, electronic wave interference between the FMs
appears, and then the MR ratio increases with increasing number of paths.
Furthermore, at each number of paths, the MR ratio for carbon nanotubes becomes
larger than that for atomic wires, reflecting the characteristic shape of
points in contact with the FM.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Strain and temperature sensitivity of a singlemode polymer optical fibre
We report experimental measurements of the strain and temperature sensitivity of the optical phase in a singlemode polymer optical fibre. These values were obtained by measuring optical path length change using a Mach-Zender interferometer
Quantum Entanglement of Excitons in Coupled Quantum Dots
Optically-controlled exciton dynamics in coupled quantum dots is studied. We
show that the maximally entangled Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger
(GHZ) states can be robustly generated by manipulating the system parameters to
be at the avoided crossings in the eigenenergy spectrum. The analysis of
population transfer is systematically carried out using a dressed-state
picture. In addition to the quantum dot configuration that have been discussed
by Quiroga and Johnson [Phys. Rev. Lett. \QTR{bf}{83}, 2270 (1999)], we show
that the GHZ states also may be produced in a ray of three quantum dots with a
shorter generation time.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev.
