Crystallographic and superconducting properties of the fully-gapped noncentrosymmetric 5d-electron superconductors CaMSi3 (M=Ir, Pt)
We report crystallographic, specific heat, transport, and magnetic properties
of the recently discovered noncentrosymmetric 5d-electron superconductors
CaIrSi3 (Tc = 3.6 K) and CaPtSi3 (Tc = 2.3 K). The specific heat suggests that
these superconductors are fully gapped. The upper critical fields are less than
1 T, consistent with limitation by conventional orbital depairing. High,
non-Pauli-limited {\mu}0 Hc2 values, often taken as a key signature of novel
noncentrosymmetric physics, are not observed in these materials because the
high carrier masses required to suppress orbital depairing and reveal the
violated Pauli limit are not present.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Observation of lattice waves through observation of the photoluminescence Blinking in InGaN Quantum Well devices
The photoluminescence of III-V wide band-gap semiconductors as InGaN is
characterized by local intensity fluctuations, known as 'blinking points', that
despite decades of research are not yet completely understood. In this letter
we report experimental data and a theoretical interpretation that suggests they
are caused by the interference of thermal vibrations of the Quantum Well
lattice. With far-field optical tests we could observe the lower frequency tail
of these interference waves and study their dynamics as they propagate up to
distances of several tens of microns.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Two-component Analogue of Two-dimensional Long Wave-Short Wave Resonance Interaction Equations: A Derivation and Solutions
The two-component analogue of two-dimensional long wave-short wave resonance
interaction equations is derived in a physical setting. Wronskian solutions of
the integrable two-component analogue of two-dimensional long wave-short wave
resonance interaction equations are presented.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures, revised version; The pdf file including all

Relation between body condition score and conception rate of Japanese Black cows
Objective This study analyzes interactions of body condition score (BCS) with other factors and the effect of BCS on estimates of genetic paremeters of conception rate (CR) in Japanese Black cows. Methods Factors affecting CR were analyzed through the linear mixed model, and genetic parameters of CR were estimated through the threshold animal model. Results The interactions between BCS and each season and the number of artificial inseminations (AI) was significant (p<0.05), but that between BCS and parity showed no significance for CR. High CR was observed with BCS 3 in autumn (0.56±0.01) and BCS 4 in summer (0.56±0.02). The highest CR with BCS 3 (0.56±0.02) and BCS 4 (0.55 ±0.01) was observed at first AI. With BCS 5, however, the highest CR (0.55±0.08) was observed at second AI. Conclusion The model with BCS was notably conducive to the estimation of genetic parameters because of a low deviance information criterion of heritability that, nevertheless, was slightly lower than the model without BCS
Genomic Organization, Splice Variants and Expression of CGMl, a CD66-related Member of the Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family
The tumor marker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) belongs to a family of proteins which are composed of one immunogiobulin variable domain and a varying number of immunoglobulin constant-like domains. Most of the membrane-bound members, which are anchored either by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol moiety or a transmembrane domain, have been shown to convey cell adhesion in vitro. Here we describe two splice variants of CGMI. a transmembrane member of the CEA family without immunoglobulin constant.like domains. CGM1a and CGM1c contain cytopiasmic domains of 71 and 31 amino acids, respectively, The cytoplasmic region of CGM1a is encoded by four exons (Cyt1-Cyt4). Differential splicing of the Cyt1 exon (53 bp)..
Theory of Ferromagnetic Superconductivity
It is argued that the pairing symmetry realized in a ferromagnetic
superconductor UGe must be a non-unitary triplet pairing. This particular
state is free from the Pauli limitation and can survive under a huge internal
molecular filed. To check our identification we examine its basic properties
and several experiments are proposed. In particular, the external field is used
to raise by controlling the internal spontaneous dipole field.Comment: 4 pages, no figure
