Hamiltonian structure and noncommutativity in pp-brane models with exotic supersymmetry

The Hamiltonian of the simplest super $p$-brane model preserving 3/4 of the D=4 N=1 supersymmetry in the centrally extended symplectic superspace is derived and its symmetries are described. The constraints of the model are covariantly separated into the first- and the second-class sets and the Dirac brackets (D.B.) are constructed. We show the D.B. noncommutativity of the super $p$-brane coordinates and find the D.B. realization of the $OSp(1|8)$ superalgebra. Established is the coincidence of the D.B. and Poisson bracket realizations of the $OSp(1|8)$ superalgebra on the constraint surface and the absence there of anomaly terms in the commutation relations for the quantized generators of the superalgebra.Comment: Latex, 27 pages, no figures.

Noisy random resistor networks: renormalized field theory for the multifractal moments of the current distribution

We study the multifractal moments of the current distribution in randomly diluted resistor networks near the percolation treshold. When an external current is applied between to terminals $x$ and $x^\prime$ of the network, the $l$th multifractal moment scales as $M_I^{(l)} (x, x^\prime) \sim | x - x^\prime |^{\psi_l /\nu}$, where $\nu$ is the correlation length exponent of the isotropic percolation universality class. By applying our concept of master operators [Europhys. Lett. {\bf 51}, 539 (2000)] we calculate the family of multifractal exponents $\{\psi_l \}$ for $l \geq 0$ to two-loop order. We find that our result is in good agreement with numerical data for three dimensions.Comment: 30 pages, 6 figure

Supersymmetric string model with 30 kappa--symmetries in an extended D=11 superspace and 30/ 32 BPS states

A supersymmetric string model in the D=11 superspace maximally extended by antisymmetric tensor bosonic coordinates, $\Sigma^{(528|32)}$, is proposed. It possesses 30 $\kappa$-symmetries and 32 target space supersymmetries. The usual preserved supersymmetry-$\kappa$-symmetry correspondence suggests that it describes the excitations of a BPS state preserving all but two supersymmetries. The model can also be formulated in any $\Sigma^{({n(n+1)\over 2}|n)}$ superspace, n=32 corresponding to D=11. It may also be treated as a `higher--spin generalization' of the usual Green--Schwarz superstring. Although the global symmetry of the model is a generalization of the super--Poincar\'e group, ${\Sigma}^{({n(n+1)\over 2}|n)}\times\supset Sp(n)$, it may be formulated in terms of constrained OSp(2n|1) orthosymplectic supertwistors. We work out this supertwistor realization and its Hamiltonian dynamics. We also give the supersymmetric p-brane generalization of the model. In particular, the $\Sigma^{(528|32)}$ supersymmetric membrane model describes excitations of a 30/32 BPS state, as the $\Sigma^{(528|32)}$ supersymmetric string does, while the supersymmetric 3-brane and 5-brane correspond, respectively, to 28/32 and 24/32 BPS states.Comment: 23 pages, RevTex4.

Measurement of D0-D0 mixing and search for CP violation in D0→K+K-,π+π- decays with the full Belle data set

We report an improved measurement of D0 – D‾0 mixing and a search for CP violation in D0 decays to CP -even final states K+K− and π+π− . The measurement is based on the final Belle data sample of 976 fb −1 . The results are yCP=(1.11±0.22±0.09)% and AΓ=(−0.03±0.20±0.07)% , where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic

OutCare : supporting dementia patients in outdoor scenarios.

Paper presented at the 14th International Conference on Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems, Cardiff, Wales, 8-10 September 2010Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a profound vision of computing power that is invisibly embedded into the fabric of everyday life. It is accessible through intelligent interfaces which are so natural that they can be used unconsciously. The increasing maturity, performance and miniaturization of processors, networking technologies and wireless sensor networks enable a move towards pervasive computing, ubiquitous connectivity and adaptive software. The Intelligent Agent paradigm has proven itself to be a promising branch of Artificial Intelligence (AI), complementing the pervasive trend of network engineering. One of the possible usages of AmI is Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) which attempts to utilize appropriate technologies to support citizens in living in their preferred environment independently, for a longer period of time than may otherwise be the case. This paper proposes an AAL solution for Alzheimer’s patients based on the intelligent agent platform, exploring the practical delivery of intelligent environments that are sensitive and responsive to the patients, supporting them in performing daily activities and tasks in a natural, unobtrusive way.Science Foundation IrelandOn publication, 12 months embargo.

Positioning of cervical carcinoma and Burkitt lymphoma translocation breakpoints with respect to the human papillomavirus integration cluster in FRA8C at 8q24.13

Molecular cytogenetic analysis frequently shows human papillomavirus (HPV) integration near translocation breakpoints in cervical cancer cells. We have recently described a cluster of HPV18 integrations in the distal end of the common fragile site FRA8C at 8q24 in primary cervical carcinoma samples. Chromosome band 8q24 contains the MYC gene (alias c-MYC), FRA8C, and FRA8D. The MYC gene is frequently deregulated--usually by translocation or amplification--in various tumor types. In the present study, we performed a molecular cytogenetic analysis of HPV18 integration patterns and the 8q24 translocation in a primary cervical carcinoma and in HeLa cells using combined binary ratio-fluorescence in situ hybridization. Our aim was to determine how the chromosomal breaks involved in these events relate physically to the MYC gene; whether they map to the FRA8C site, the FRA8D site, or both; and how they correlate with the occurrence of DNA flexibility domains. The 8q24 translocation breakpoints mapped between stretches of integrated HPV18 sequences in the distal end of FRA8C. This region contained DNA helix flexibility clusters, several of which mapped in the vicinity of HPV integration sites and translocation breakpoints in cervical carcinomas. DNA helix flexibility clusters were also found near known MYC translocation breakpoints in Burkitt lymphomas (BL), but most BL breakpoints mapped clearly outside FRA8C. Our data revealed that FRA8C is involved in HPV integration and chromosomal translocations in cervical carcinoma; however, this fragile site is not involved in classical MYC translocations in most BLs. In the context of the familial nature of cervical cancer, FRA8C may be considered a candidate susceptibility region for cervical carcinom
