Relativistic linear stability equations for the nonlinear Dirac equation in Bose-Einstein condensates
We present relativistic linear stability equations (RLSE) for
quasi-relativistic cold atoms in a honeycomb optical lattice. These equations
are derived from first principles and provide a method for computing
stabilities of arbitrary localized solutions of the nonlinear Dirac equation
(NLDE), a relativistic generalization of the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation.
We present a variety of such localized solutions: skyrmions, solitons,
vortices, and half-quantum vortices, and study their stabilities via the RLSE.
When applied to a uniform background, our calculations reveal an experimentally
observable effect in the form of Cherenkov radiation. Remarkably, the Berry
phase from the bipartite structure of the honeycomb lattice induces a
boson-fermion transmutation in the quasi-particle operator statistics.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Reversibility of Red blood Cell deformation
The ability of cells to undergo reversible shape changes is often crucial to
their survival. For Red Blood Cells (RBCs), irreversible alteration of the cell
shape and flexibility often causes anemia. Here we show theoretically that RBCs
may react irreversibly to mechanical perturbations because of tensile stress in
their cytoskeleton. The transient polymerization of protein fibers inside the
cell seen in sickle cell anemia or a transient external force can trigger the
formation of a cytoskeleton-free membrane protrusion of micrometer dimensions.
The complex relaxation kinetics of the cell shape is shown to be responsible
for selecting the final state once the perturbation is removed, thereby
controlling the reversibility of the deformation. In some case, tubular
protrusion are expected to relax via a peculiar "pearling instability".Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Electron Temperature of Ultracold Plasmas
We study the evolution of ultracold plasmas by measuring the electron
temperature. Shortly after plasma formation, competition between heating and
cooling mechanisms drives the electron temperature to a value within a narrow
range regardless of the initial energy imparted to the electrons. In agreement
with theory predictions, plasmas exhibit values of the Coulomb coupling
parameter less than 1.Comment: 4 pages, plus four figure

: This research's focus is to acknowledge public relation's role of influence which are Communicator, Relationship, Back up Management, and Good Image Maker toward Mercure Grand Mirama Hotel's corporate image. This research includes 130 correspondence of car free day program using SEM with PLS version 2 to test independent and linked varibels. The result showed Public relations has a positive influence over corporate image and the most dominant role is a good image maker
A scheme for symmetrization verification
We propose a scheme for symmetrization verification in two-particle systems,
based on one-particle detection and state determination. In contrast to
previous proposals, it does not follow a Hong-Ou-Mandel-type approach.
Moreover, the technique can be used to generate superposition states of single
particles

Optical studies of carrier and phonon dynamics in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As
We present a time-resolved optical study of the dynamics of carriers and
phonons in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As layers for a series of Mn and hole concentrations.
While band filling is the dominant effect in transient optical absorption in
low-temperature-grown (LT) GaAs, band gap renormalization effects become
important with increasing Mn concentration in Ga_{1-x}Mn_{x}As, as inferred
from the sign of the absorption change. We also report direct observation on
lattice vibrations in Ga1-xMnxAs layers via reflective electro-optic sampling
technique. The data show increasingly fast dephasing of LO phonon oscillations
for samples with increasing Mn and hole concentration, which can be understood
in term of phonon scattering by the holes.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures replaced Fig.1 after finding a mistake in

Entanglement and statistics in Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry
Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometry allows one to detect the presence of
entanglement in two-photon input states. The same result holds for
two-particles input states which obey to Fermionic statistics. In the latter
case however anti-bouncing introduces qualitative differences in the
interferometer response. This effect is analyzed in a Gedankenexperiment where
the particles entering the interferometer are assumed to belong to a
one-parameter family of quons which continuously interpolate between the
Bosonic and Fermionic statistics.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures; minor editorial changes and new references adde
