Numerical investigations of mechanical stress caused in dendrite by melt convection and gravity
In order to investigate the effects of stress around dendrite neck cased by the convection and gravity on the dendrite fragmentation, the novel numerical model, where phase-field method, Navier-Stokes equations and finite element method are continuously and independently employed, has been developed. By applying the model to the dendritic solidification of Al-Si alloy, the maximum stress variations by melt convection and gravity with dendrite growth were evaluated
Enzootic bovine leukosis accompanied by splenomegaly in an 8-month-old calf
ΔΕΝ ΔΙΑΤΙΘΕΤΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗIn this report, an 8-month-old calf (crossbred, Holstein × Japanese Black) developed fever and accompanied abomasum displacement. Blood chemical test showed remarkably high values of white blood cell count and heteromorphic lymphocytes. In pathological appraisal, enlarged splenomegaly and swelling of the lymph nodes were observed. Histopathological examination revealed invasion of tumor cells derived from B1 cells into systemic lymph nodes, liver and spleen. The provirus loads of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) was 1,439 copies per 10 ng DNA by using real time PCR. In conclusion, this case was diagnosed as bovine leukemia caused by BLV infection with a huge splenomegaly
Nonmagnetic Insulating States near the Mott Transitions on Lattices with Geometrical Frustration and Implications for -(ET)Cu
We study phase diagrams of the Hubbard model on anisotropic triangular
lattices, which also represents a model for -type BEDT-TTF compounds.
In contrast with mean-field predictions, path-integral renormalization group
calculations show a universal presence of nonmagnetic insulator sandwitched by
antiferromagnetic insulator and paramagnetic metals. The nonmagnetic phase does
not show a simple translational symmetry breakings such as flux phases,
implying a genuine Mott insulator. We discuss possible relevance on the
nonmagnetic insulating phase found in -(ET)Cu.Comment: 4pages including 7 figure

An extrapolation method for shell model calculations
We propose a new shell model method, combining the Lanczos digonalization and
extrapolation method. This method can give accurate shell model energy from a
series of shell model calculations with various truncation spaces, in a
well-controlled manner. Its feasibility is demonstrated by taking the fp shell
calculations.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
A Hamiltonian-based solution to the mixed sensitivity optimization problem for stable pseudorational plants
This paper considers the mixed sensitivity optimization problem for a class of infinite-dimensional stable plants. This problem is reducible to a two- or one-block H∞ control problem with structured weighting functions. We first show that these weighting functions violate the genericity assumptions of existing Hamiltonian-based solutions such as the well-known Zhou-Khargonekar formula. Then, we derive a new closed form formula for the computation of the optimal performance level, when the underlying plant structure is specified by a pseudorational transfer function. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Completely localized gravity with higher curvature terms
In the intersecting braneworld models, higher curvature corrections to the
Einstein action are necessary to provide a non-trivial geometry (brane tension)
at the brane junctions. By introducing such terms in a Gauss-Bonnet form, we
give an effective description of localized gravity on the singular
delta-function branes. There exists a non-vanishing brane tension at the
four-dimensional brane intersection of two 4-branes. Importantly, we give
explicit expressions of the graviton propagator and show that the
Randall-Sundrum single-brane model with a Gauss-Bonnet term in the bulk
correctly gives a massless graviton on the brane as for the RS model. We
explore some crucial features of completely localized gravity in the solitonic
braneworld solutions obtained with a choice (\xi=1) of solutions. The no-go
theorem known for Einstein's theory may not apply to the \xi=1 solution. As
complementary discussions, we provide an effective description of the power-law
corrections to Newtonian gravity on the branes or at the common intersection
thereof.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, Revised/Published Versio
Parameterization of suboptimal solutions of the Nehari problem for infinite-dimensional systems
The Nehari problem plays an important role in H∞ control theory. It is well known that H∞ control problem can be reduced to solving this problem. This note gives a parameterization of all suboptimal solutions of the Nehari problem for a class of infinite-dimensional systems. Many earlier solutions of this problem are seen to be special cases of this new parameterization. It is also shown that for finite impulse response systems this parameterization takes a particularly simple form. ©2007 IEEE
