Supersymmetric Quantum Hall Liquid with a Deformed Supersymmetry

We construct a supersymmetric quantum Hall liquid with a deformed supersymmetry. One parameter is introduced in the supersymmetric Laughlin wavefunction to realize the original Laughlin wavefunction and the Moore-Read wavefunction in two extremal limits of the parameter. The introduced parameter corresponds to the coherence factor in the BCS theory. It is pointed out that the parameter-dependent supersymmetric Laughlin wavefunction enjoys a deformed supersymmetry. Based on the deformed supersymmetry, we construct a pseudo-potential Hamiltonian whose groundstate is exactly the parameter-dependent supersymmetric Laughlin wavefunction. Though the SUSY pseudo-potential Hamiltonian is parameter-dependent and non-Hermitian, its eigenvalues are parameter-independent and real.Comment: 14 pages, contribution to the proceedings of the Group 27 conference, Yerevan, Armenia, August 13-19, 2008, published versio

Radial Bargmann representation for the Fock space of type B

Let $\nu_{\alpha,q}$ be the probability and orthogonality measure for the $q$-Meixner-Pollaczek orthogonal polynomials, which has appeared in \cite{BEH15} as the distribution of the $(\alpha,q)$-Gaussian process (the Gaussian process of type B) over the $(\alpha,q)$-Fock space (the Fock space of type B). The main purpose of this paper is to find the radial Bargmann representation of $\nu_{\alpha,q}$. Our main results cover not only the representation of $q$-Gaussian distribution by \cite{LM95}, but also of $q^2$-Gaussian and symmetric free Meixner distributions on $\mathbb R$. In addition, non-trivial commutation relations satisfied by $(\alpha,q)$-operators are presented.Comment: 13 pages, minor changes have been mad

Validation of HRDI MLT winds with meteor radars

A validation study of the mesospheric and lower-thermospheric (MLT) wind velocities measured by the High-Resolution Doppler Imager (HRDI) on board the Upper-Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) has been carried out, comparing with observations by meteor radars located at Shigaraki, Japan and Jakarta, Indonesia. The accuracy of the HRDI winds relative to the meteor radars is obtained by a series of simultaneous wind measurements at the time of UARS overpasses. Statistical tests on the difference in the wind vectors observed by HRDI and the meteor radars are applied to determine whether the wind speed has been overestimated by HRDI (or underestimated by the MF radars) as previously noticed in HRDI vs. MF radar comparisons. The techniques employed are the conventional t -test applied to the mean values of the paired wind vector components as well as wind speeds, and two nonparametric tests suitable for testing the paired wind speed. The square-root transformation has been applied before the Mests of the wind speed in order to fit the wind-speed distribution function to the normal distribution. The overall results show little evidence of overestimation by HRDI (underestimation by meteor radars) of wind velocities in the MLT region. Some exceptions are noticed, however, at the altitudes around 88 km, where statistical differences occasionally reach a level of significance of 0.01. The validation is extended to estimate the precision of the wind velocities by both HRDI and meteor radars. In the procedure, the structure function defined by the mean square difference of the observed anomalies is applied in the vertical direction for the profile data. This method assumes the isotropy and the homogeneity of variance for the physical quantity and the homogeneity of variance for the observational errors. The estimated precision is about 6m s − for the Shigaraki meteor radar, 15 m s −1 for the Jakarta meteor radar, and 20 m s −1 for HRDI at 90-km altitude. These values can be used ot confirm the statistical significance of the wind field obtained by averaging the observed winds.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/47860/1/585_1997_Article_70151142.pd

Practical Use of a Liquid Helium-Free Superconducting Magnet(Magnet Technology)

A cryocooler-cooled 4.6 T superconducting magnet with a 38 mm room temperature bore, which consists of a low-T_c Nb_3Sn coil and high-T_c Bi_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu3O_ current leads, has been working in vacuum for about 18000 cooling hours without trouble, It is found that the high-T_c current leads can hold excellent superconducting properties for a long enough time to be practically used. As a next step, we have succeeded in the construction of a l0.7 T-52 mm room temperature bore and a 5.7 T-220 mm room temperature bore liquid helium-free superconducting magnet

The Selaginella Genome Identifies Changes in Gene Content Associated With the Evolution of Vascular Plants

Vascular plants appeared ~410 million years ago, then diverged into several lineages of which only two survive: the euphyllophytes (ferns and seed plants) and the lycophytes. We report here the genome sequence of the lycophyte Selaginella moellendorffii (Selaginella), the first nonseed vascular plant genome reported. By comparing gene content in evolutionarily diverse taxa, we found that the transition from a gametophyte- to a sporophyte-dominated life cycle required far fewer new genes than the transition from a nonseed vascular to a flowering plant, whereas secondary metabolic genes expanded extensively and in parallel in the lycophyte and angiosperm lineages. Selaginella differs in posttranscriptional gene regulation, including small RNA regulation of repetitive elements, an absence of the trans-acting small interfering RNA pathway, and extensive RNA editing of organellar genes

White noise analysis on manifolds and the energy representation of a gauge group

The energy representation of a gauge group on a Riemannian manifold has been discussed by several authors. Y. Shimada has shown the irreducibility for compact Riemannian manifold, using white noise analysis. In this paper we extend its technique to noncompact Riemannian manifolds which have differential operators satisfying some conditions.Comment: 9 page

Multi-Bunch Solutions of Differential-Difference Equation for Traffic Flow

Newell-Whitham type car-following model with hyperbolic tangent optimal velocity function in a one-lane circuit has a finite set of the exact solutions for steady traveling wave, which expressed by elliptic theta function. Each solution of the set describes a density wave with definite number of car-bunches in the circuit. By the numerical simulation, we observe a transition process from a uniform flow to the one-bunch analytic solution, which seems to be an attractor of the system. In the process, the system shows a series of cascade transitions visiting the configurations closely similar to the higher multi-bunch solutions in the set.Comment: revtex, 7 pages, 5 figure

Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) score items can be grouped into a five-factor structure to describe specific schizophrenia symptom domains. This post hoc analysis of data from a pivotal study evaluated HP-3070’s efficacy by examining these factors.Methods: In a phase 3 study, adults with an acute exacerbation of schizophrenia were randomized to six weeks of treatment with HP-3070 3.8mg/24h, 7.6mg/24h, or placebo. An analysis was performed using the five PANSS factor domains (negative symptoms, positive symptoms, disorganized thought, uncontrolled hostility/excitement, anxiety/depression). Mixed-model repeated-measures (MMRM) analysis included change from baseline (CFB) in PANSS factor score as the repeated dependent variable, with country, treatment, visit, treatment by visit interaction, and baseline PANSS score as covariates.Results: The analysis included 607 patients. Treatment with HP-3070 3.8mg/24h resulted in a statistically significant LS mean CFB (improvement) vs placebo at Weeks 4– 6 for all domains except for anxiety/depression, where a numerical difference was observed in favor of active treatments. Among the domains, the positive symptom factor demonstrated the numerically greatest LS mean (SE) difference from placebo in CFB, which for HP-3070 7.6mg/24h was − 2.0 [0.57] and for HP-3070 3.8mg/24h was − 2.3 [0.57]; P< 0.001 for both. Treatment effect size for the positive symptom factor using Cohen’s d (95% confidence intervals) was 0.39 (0.17, 0.61) for HP-3070 7.6mg/24h and 0.45 (0.20, 0.64) for HP-3070 3.8mg/24h.Discussion: Post hoc analysis using a PANSS five-factor model suggests that HP-3070 may address a broad range of symptoms in people with schizophrenia.Keywords: asenapine, transdermal, patch, schizophrenia, positive and negative syndrome scale, five-facto
