Twist-2 Heavy Flavor Contributions to the Structure Function
The twist--2 heavy flavor contributions to the polarized structure function
are calculated. We show that this part of is related
to the heavy flavor contribution to by the Wandzura--Wilczek
relation to all orders in the strong coupling constant. Numerical results are
presented.Comment: 17 pages LATEX, 1 style files, 4 figure
Two-loop scalar self-energies in a general renormalizable theory at leading order in gauge couplings
I present results for the two-loop self-energy functions for scalars in a
general renormalizable field theory, using mass-independent renormalization
schemes based on dimensional regularization and dimensional reduction. The
results are given in terms of a minimal set of loop-integral basis functions,
which are readily evaluated numerically by computers. This paper contains the
contributions corresponding to the Feynman diagrams with zero or one vector
propagator lines. These are the ones needed to obtain the pole masses of the
neutral and charged Higgs scalar bosons in supersymmetry, neglecting only the
purely electroweak parts at two-loop order. A subsequent paper will present the
results for the remaining diagrams, which involve two or more vector lines.Comment: 26 pages, 4 figures, revtex4, axodraw.sty. Version 2: sentence after

Static quantities of the W boson in the SU_L(3) X U_X(1) model with right-handed neutrinos
The static electromagnetic properties of the boson, and
, are calculated in the SU_L(3)} \times U_X(1) model with
right-handed neutrinos. The new contributions from this model arise from the
gauge and scalar sectors. In the gauge sector there is a new contribution from
a complex neutral gauge boson and a singly-charged gauge boson .
The mass of these gauge bosons, called bileptons, is expected to be in the
range of a few hundreds of GeV according to the current bounds from
experimental data. If the bilepton masses are of the order of 200 GeV, the size
of their contribution is similar to that obtained in other weakly coupled
theories. However the contributions to both and are
negligible for very heavy or degenerate bileptons. As for the scalar sector, an
scenario is examined in which the contribution to the form factors is
identical to that of a two-Higgs-doublet model. It is found that this sector
would not give large corrections to and .Comment: New material included. Final version to apppear in Physical Review
Next-to-Leading Order QCD Analysis of Polarized Deep Inelastic Scattering Data
We present a Next-to-Leading order perturbative QCD analysis of world data on
the spin dependent structure functions , and , including
the new experimental information on the dependence of . Careful
attention is paid to the experimental and theoretical uncertainties. The data
constrain the first moments of the polarized valence quark distributions, but
only qualitatively constrain the polarized sea quark and gluon distributions.
The NLO results are used to determine the dependence of the ratio
and evolve the experimental data to a constant . We
determine the first moments of the polarized structure functions of the proton
and neutron and find agreement with the Bjorken sum rule.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures; final version to be published in Phys. Lett. B.

1 Tight-Binding Modeling of Charge Migration in DNA Devices
Within the class of biopolymers, DNA is expected to play an outstanding role in molecular electronics [1]. This is mainly due to its unique self-assembling and self-recognition properties which are essential for its performance as carrier of the genetic code. It is the long-standing hope of many scientists tha
