Counting fermionic zero modes on M5 with fluxes
We study the Dirac equation on an M5 brane wrapped on a divisor in a
Calabi--Yau fourfold in the presence of background flux. We reduce the
computation of the normal bundle U(1) anomaly to counting the solutions of a
finite--dimensional linear system on cohomology. This system depends on the
choice of flux. In an example, we find that the presence of flux changes the
anomaly and allows instanton corrections to the superpotential which would
otherwise be absent.Comment: 14 pages. v2: reference added, typos corrected, few change
Analysis of Genetic Diversity among F4 segregating population of bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.)
Seventeen breeding lines (ten F4 segregants and seven parents) of bitter gourd were evaluated at Department of Vegetable Science, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, during late kharif, 2022. These genotypes were used for evaluation of 13 quantitative characters which were grouped into five different clusters through Tocherâs method of genetic divergence analysis. Cluster I consists of ten genotypes, Cluster II, III and IV comprising of two genotypes each, while cluster V included only one genotype. Highest intra cluster distance was found in cluster IV (17.14) while lowest in cluster II (8.70). The highest inter cluster distance was observed between cluster III and V (26.18), followed by clusters I and V (25.06). For future breeding programme in bitter gourd, genotype of Cluster V should be selected for better vegetative growth, earliness in appearance of 1st female flower and giving yield for longer duration. Similarly, Cluster III for earliness in appearance of 1st male flower and more number of fruits vine-1 while that of cluster II should be considered for getting high yield with less number of seeds fruits-1. Seeds fruit-1 (61.03%) contributed maximum towards divergence followed by fruits vine-1 (12.50%)
Transfer co-efficient for carbon monoxide in sportsmen
The transfer factor (TLCO) and the transfer coefficient (KCO) for carbon monoxide were
measured by the single-breath method in eleven non-smoking college sportsmen. The mean
transfer factor for whole lung in the college sportsmen was within normal limits when
compared to predicted values of European descent; however, the transfer coefficient was high
and is thought to be due to a rise in pulmonary capillary blood volume. It is postulated that
continuous and prolonged training of sportsmen causes recruitment of pulmonary capillaries
and this causes increased capillary blood volume even at rest
