A catalog of Kazarian galaxies
The entire Kazarian galaxies (KG) catalog is presented which combines
extensive new measurements of their optical parameters with a literature and
database search. The measurements were made using images extracted from the
STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of Jpg(blue), Fpg(red) and Ipg(NIR) band
photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar and UK Schmidt
telescopes. We provide accurate coordinates, morphological type, spectral and
activity classes, blue apparent diameters, axial ratios, position angles, red,
blue and NIR apparent magnitudes, as well as counts of neighboring objects in a
circle of radius 50 kpc from centers of KG. Special attention was paid to the
individual descriptions of the galaxies in the original Kazarian lists, which
clarified many cases of misidentifications of the objects, particularly among
interacting systems. The total number of individual Kazarian objects in the
database is now 706. We also include the redshifts which are now available for
404 galaxies and the 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 598 KG. The database also
includes extensive notes, which summarize information about the membership of
KG in different systems of galaxies, and about revised activity classes and
redshifts. An atlas of several interesting subclasses of KG is also presented.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures, 1 table, Accepted in Astrophysics, Vol. 53, No.

Operator Manifold Approach to Geometry and Particle Physics
The question that guides our discussion is how did the geometry and particles
come into being. The present theory reveals primordial deeper structures
underlying fundamental concepts of contemporary physics. We begin with a
drastic revision of a role of local internal symmetries in physical concept of
curved geometry. A standard gauge principle of local internal symmetries is
generalized. The gravitation gauge group is proposed, which is generated by
hidden local internal symmetries. Last two parts address to the question of
physical origin of geometry and basic concepts of particle physics such as the
fields of quarks with the spins and various quantum numbers, internal
symmetries and so forth; also four basic principles of Relativity, Quantum,
Gauge and Color Confinement, which are, as it was proven, all derivative and
come into being simultaneously. The most promising aspect of our approach so
far is the fact that many of the important anticipated properties, basic
concepts and principles of particle physics are appeared quite naturally in the
framework of suggested theory.Comment: LaTex, 42 pages, email [email protected]

Gravitation and inertia; a rearrangement of vacuum in gravity
We address the gravitation and inertia in the framework of 'general gauge
principle', which accounts for 'gravitation gauge group' generated by hidden
local internal symmetry implemented on the flat space. We connect this group to
nonlinear realization of the Lie group of 'distortion' of local internal
properties of six-dimensional flat space, which is assumed as a toy model
underlying four-dimensional Minkowski space. The agreement between proposed
gravitational theory and available observational verifications is satisfactory.
We construct relativistic field theory of inertia and derive the relativistic
law of inertia. This theory furnishes justification for introduction of the
Principle of Equivalence. We address the rearrangement of vacuum state in
gravity resulting from these ideas.Comment: 17 pages, no figures, revtex4, Accepted for publication in Astrophys.

The electron electric dipole moment enhancement factors of Rubidium and Caesium atoms
The enhancement factors of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the ground
states of two paramagnetic atoms; rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) which are
sensitive to the electron EDM are computed using the relativistic
coupled-cluster theory and our results are compared with the available
calculations and measurements. The possibility of improving the limit for the
electron EDM using the results of our present work is pointed out.Comment: AISAMP7 Conference paper, Accepted in Journal of Physics: Conference

High Resolution CO Imaging of the Molecular Disk around the jets in KjPN 8
We report high resolution (2.5 arcsec) CO J=1-0 line imaging which confirms
the presence of a molecular disk around the origin of the spectacular, 14
arcmin times 4 arcmin, episodic jets in the planetary nebula KjPn 8. The disk
is 30 arcsec in diameter with an expansion velocity of approximately 7 km/s.
The axis of the disk is aligned with the youngest and fastest (approximately
300 km/s) of the bipolar jets, and there is evidence for interaction between
the jets and the disk material. The inner 4 arcsec of the disk are
photo-ionized by the central star. The disk-jet system dominates the
environment of this young nebula, and should govern the morphology of KjPn 8 as
it evolves to become fully ionized.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Astrophysical

Attenuated total reflection-FT-IR spectroscopic imaging of protein crystallization
Protein crystallization is of strategic and commercial relevance in the post-genomic era because of its pivotal role in structural proteomics projects. Although protein structures are crucial for understanding the function of proteins and to the success of rational drug design and other biotechnology applications, obtaining high quality crystals is a major bottleneck to progress. The major means of obtaining crystals is by massive-scale screening of a target protein solution with numerous crystallizing agents. However, when crystals appear in these screens, one cannot easily know if they are crystals of protein, salt, or any other molecule that happens to be present in the trials. We present here a method based on Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR)-FT-IR imaging that reliably identifies protein crystals through a combination of chemical specificity and the visualizing capability of this approach, thus solving a major hurdle in protein crystallization. ATR-FT-IR imaging was successfully applied to study the crystallization of thaumatin and lysozyme in a high-throughput manner, simultaneously from six different solutions. This approach is fast as it studies protein crystallization in situ and provides an opportunity to examine many different samples under a range of conditions
BGWM as Second Constituent of Complex Matrix Model
Earlier we explained that partition functions of various matrix models can be
constructed from that of the cubic Kontsevich model, which, therefore, becomes
a basic elementary building block in "M-theory" of matrix models. However, the
less topical complex matrix model appeared to be an exception: its
decomposition involved not only the Kontsevich tau-function but also another
constituent, which we now identify as the Brezin-Gross-Witten (BGW) partition
function. The BGW tau-function can be represented either as a generating
function of all unitary-matrix integrals or as a Kontsevich-Penner model with
potential 1/X (instead of X^3 in the cubic Kontsevich model).Comment: 42 page
Models of Neutrino Masses and Baryogenesis
Majorana masses of the neutrino implies lepton number violation and is
intimately related to the lepton asymmetry of the universe, which gets related
to the baryon asymmetry of the universe in the presence of the sphalerons
during the electroweak phase transition. Assuming that the baryon asymmetry of
the universe is generated before the electroweak phase transition, it is
possible to dicriminate different classes of models of neutrino masses. While
see-saw mechanism and the triplet higgs mechanism are preferred, the Zee-type
radiative models and the R-parity breaking models requires additional inputs to
generate baryon asymmetry of the universe during the electroweak phase
transition.Comment: 27 pages including 5 figures; Review article for Pramana: the Indian
