Toward the total synthesis of spirastrellolide A. Part 3: Intelligence gathering and preparation of a ring-expanded analogue
Different methods for the formation of the C.25âC.26 bond of spirastrellolide A (1) are evaluated that might qualify for the end game of the projected total synthesis, with emphasis on metathetic ways to forge the macrocyclic frame
Response to Comment on `Undamped electrostatic plasma waves' [Phys. Plasmas 19, 092103 (2012)]
Numerical and experimental evidence is given for the occurrence of the
plateau states and concomitant corner modes proposed in \cite{valentini12}. It
is argued that these states provide a better description of reality for small
amplitude off-dispersion disturbances than the conventional
Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal or cnoidal states such as those proposed in

Prospects for Measuring Vtb via s-channel Single Top at ATLAS
The production of single top quarks via the electroweak interaction promises to provide new opportunities to both test the Standard Model and search for new physics. In particular, electroweak top production provides the only means to directly measure the CKM matrix element Vtb at ATLAS. The s-channel has the lowest rate, but is the best theoretically understood mechanism of electroweak top production. An evaluation of the potential for background suppression and Vtb measurement in this channel is presented. It is found that significant background suppression can be achieved and Vtb can be measured in the s-channel to a statistical precision of 2.8% after 30 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity at the LHC
Closed Timelike Curves in Relativistic Computation
In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using closed timelike curves
(CTCs) in relativistic hypercomputation. We introduce a wormhole based
hypercomputation scenario which is free from the common worries, such as the
blueshift problem. We also discuss the physical reasonability of our scenario,
and why we cannot simply ignore the possibility of the existence of spacetimes
containing CTCs.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
