Colored Pseudo-Goldstone Bosons and Gauge Boson Pairs

If the electroweak symmetry breaking sector contains colored particles weighing a few hundred GeV, then they will be copiously produced at a hadron supercollider. Colored technipions can rescatter into pairs of gauge bosons. As proposed by Bagger, Dawson, and Valencia, this leads to gauge boson pair rates far larger than in the standard model. In this note we reconsider this mechanism, and illustrate it in a model in which the rates can be reliably calculated. The observation of both an enhanced rate of gauge-boson-pair events and colored particles would be a signal that the colored particles were pseudo-Goldstone bosons of symmetry breaking.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures not include

Radiation and Chemical Reaction Effects on Unsteady MHD Free Convective Periodic Heat Transport Modeling In a Saturated Porous Medium for Arotating System

A rotating model is extended for a two-dimensional, unsteady, incompressible electrically conducting, laminar immediate convection boundary layer flow of light and mass communicate in a saturated porous crystal ball gazer, among an overall vertical porous surface in the perseverance of radiation and vicious circle effects was considered. The fundamental equations governing the flow are in the art an element of partial differential equations and have been reduced to a inhere of non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying suitable similarity transformations. The problem is tackled analytically using classical two term perturbation technique. Pertinent results with respect to embedded parameters are displayed through graphically for the velocity, Temperature, concentration, skin friction, Sherwood number, Nusselt number are discussed qualitatively

Big Money, Nuclear Subsidies, and Systemic Corruption

capital as power corruption differential capitalization nuclear energy subsidies taxOver the past decade, the cost of renewable energy like solar and wind has dropped substantially, while the cost of nuclear energy has risen – yet, in the United States, the large corporate owners of nuclear reactors are subsidized to the teeth. This research examines how their differential capitalized power is nourished and boosted, often through corruption, and how this process undermines consumers and risks the future of humanity

The Lax conjecture is true

In 1958 Lax conjectured that hyperbolic polynomials in three variables are determinants of linear combinations of three symmetric matrices. This conjecture is equivalent to a recent observation of Helton and Vinnikov.Comment: 7 pages, Proceedings to the AMS, to appear. Added background materia

PROCESS AND PARAMETERS AFFECTING DRUG RELEASE PERFORMANCE OF PREPARED CROSS-LINKED ALGINATE HYDROGEL BEADS FOR EZETIMIBE

Objective: The objective of this study was to formulate an oral sustained release delivery system of ezetimibe mucoadhesive beads by ionic gelation technique based on sodium alginate used as a hydrophilic carrier in combination with carbopol 934P which acts as a rate modifier.Methods: Microbeads of ezetimibe were prepared using an easy method of ionotropic gelation by little modification while in addition of drug. The prepared beads were characterised for mean particle size, entrapment efficiency, swelling capacity, and in vitro release. They were also subjected to various studies such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer (FTIR) Spectroscopy for drug polymer reaction, Scanning Electron Microscopy for surface morphology, and Differential Scanning Calorimetric Analysis to determine the physical state of the drug in the beads.Results: The microspheres of ezetimibe were formulated successfully. The addition of drug concentration gives higher drug loading and higher conc. of Alcl+3 yields small diameter beads and lower drug entrapment. Analysis of the release profiles showed that the data corresponds to zero order release and the diffusion-controlled mechanism as suggested by Higuchi concept.Conclusion: It can be concluded that beads produced by the sequential method had higher drug entrapment. Beads produced by simultaneous yields larger beads in diameter. The concept was cleared that drug release was dependent upon the quantity of polymer and increase in conc. of. aluminium chloride retarded the drug release in the sequential method. Prepared beads enhance the dissolution of ezetimibe and the oral bioavailability and also reduce the fluctuations in the oral bioavailability

A Theoretical Model for Metal Corrosion Degradation

Many aluminum and stainless steel alloys contain thin oxide layers on the metal surface which greatly reduce the corrosion rate. Pitting corrosion, a result of localized breakdown of such films, results in accelerated dissolution of the underlying metal through pits. Many researchers have studied pitting corrosion for several decades and the exact governing equation for corrosion pit degradation has not been obtained. In this study, the governing equation for corrosion degradation due to pitting corrosion behavior was derived from solid-state physics and some solutions and simulations are presented and discussed

DEVELOPMENT AND IN VIVO EVALUATION OF GASTRORETENTIVE FLOATING TABLETS OF ANTIPSYCHOTIC DRUG RISPERIDONE

Objective: The objective of this research work was to formulate and evaluate the floating drug delivery system containing Risperidone, to improve oral bioavailability by increasing gastric residence time.Methods: Total fifteen formulations of Risperidone floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method using different grades of HPMC polymers, Gelucire, Polyox and NaHCO3. In vivo radiographic studies were performed in human volunteers by incorporating barium sulphate.Results: The prepared tablets were characterized and found to exhibit satisfactory physicochemical characteristics. All the prepared batches showed good in vitro buoyancy with low floating lag time. It was observed that the tablets remained buoyant for more than 12h. Optimized formulation (F15) consisting of HPMC K100M, WSR 301, Gelucire 50/13 and NaHCO3, followed diffusion controlled zero-order kinetics and non-fickian transport of the drug. FTIR and DSC studies revealed the absence of any chemical interaction between drug and polymers used. The in vivo radiographic studies revealed that the tablets remained in the stomach for 6h in fasting human volunteers. In vivo bioavailability studies performed in healthy human volunteers and Tmax, Cmax, AUC was calculated and confirmed significant improvement in bioavailability when compared with marketed formulation Respidon 2.Conclusion: The data obtained thus suggests that floating delivery system of Risperidone can be successfully designed to give controlled drug delivery and improved oral bioavailability
