Rotating Superconductors and the Frame-independent London Equation
A frame-independent, thermodynamically exact London equation is presented,
which is especially valid for rotating superconductors. A direct result is the
unexpectedly high accuracy () for the usual expression of the
London moment.Comment: 4 pages, 0 figure
TSO1 functions in cell division during Arabidopsis flower development
We describe an Arabidopsis mutant, tso1, which develops callus-like tissues in place of floral organs. The tso1 floral meristem lacks properly organized three cell layers, and the nuclei of these cells are irregular in size and shape. Further analyses reveal partially formed cell walls and increased DNA ploidy in tso1 floral meristem cells, indicating defects in mitosis and cytokinesis. Our finding that TSO1 is required for organ formation in floral tissues but not in other tissues indicates that TSO1 may encode a floral-specific cell division component, or that TSO1 function is redundant in nonfloral tissues
Quantum Statistical Entropy and Minimal Length of 5D Ricci-flat Black String with Generalized Uncertainty Principle
In this paper, we study the quantum statistical entropy in a 5D Ricci-flat
black string solution, which contains a 4D Schwarzschild-de Sitter black hole
on the brane, by using the improved thin-layer method with the generalized
uncertainty principle. The entropy is the linear sum of the areas of the event
horizon and the cosmological horizon without any cut-off and any constraint on
the bulk's configuration rather than the usual uncertainty principle. The
system's density of state and free energy are convergent in the neighborhood of
horizon. The small-mass approximation is determined by the asymptotic behavior
of metric function near horizons. Meanwhile, we obtain the minimal length of
the position which is restrained by the surface gravities and the
thickness of layer near horizons.Comment: 11pages and this work is dedicated to the memory of Professor Hongya

Phase diagram of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice
The exact macroscopic wave functions of two-species Bose-Einstein condensates
in an optical lattice beyond the tight-binding approximation are studied by
solving the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The phase diagram for
superfluid and insulator phases of the condensates is determined analytically
according to the macroscopic wave functions of the condensates, which are seen
to be traveling matter waves.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figure
