Spin structure and longitudinal polarization of hyperon in e+e- annihilation at high energies
Longitudinal polarizations of different kinds of hyperons produced in e+e-
annihilation at LEP I and LEP II energies in different event samples are
calculated using two different pictures for the spin structure of hyperon: that
drawn from polarized deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering data or that
using SU(6) symmetric wave functions. The result shows that measurements of
such polarizations should provide useful information to the question of which
picture is more suitable in describing the spin effects in the fragmentation
processes.Comment: 26 pages with 10 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.
Hyperon polarization in semi-inclusive deeply inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering at high energy
We calculate the polarizations for different octet hyperons produced in the
current fragmentation regions of the deeply inelastic lepton-nucleon
scatterings and at high energy
using different models for spin transfer in fragmentation processes. The
results show that measurements of those hyperon polarizations should provide
useful information to distinguish between different models in particular the
SU(6) and the DIS pictures used frequently in the literature. We found, in
particular, that measuring the polarization of produced in these
processes can give a better test to the validity of the different spin transfer
models.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figure
Periodic Pattern Detection for Real-Time Application
Abstract. Digital video stabilization approaches typically degrade their performances in presence of periodic patterns. Any kind of matching between consecutive frames is not usually able to work in presence of these kind of signals: the motion estimation engine is deceived and its performances degrade abruptly. In this paper we propose a fast fuzzy classifier able to recognize periodic and aperiodic pattern in the images that takes into account the peculiarities of digital video stabilization. Finally, the proposed classifier can be used as a filtering module in a block based video stabilization approach. Key words: Video Stabilization, periodic pattern, fuzzy classifier

From Tetraquark to Hexaquark: A Systematic Study of Heavy Exotics in the Large Limit
A systematic study of multiquark exotics with one or heavy quarks in
the large limit is presented. By binding a chiral soliton to a heavy
meson, either a normal -quark baryon or an exotic -quark baryon
is obtained. By replacing the heavy quark with heavy antiquarks, exotic
-quark and -quark mesons are obtained. When , they are
just the normal triquark baryon , the exotic pentaquark baryon , tetraquark di-meson and the hexaquark
di-baryon respectively. Their
stabilities and decays are also discussed. In particular, it is shown that the
``heavy to heavy'' semileptonic decays are described by the Isgur--Wise form
factors of the normal baryons.Comment: 14 pages in REVTeX, no Figure
Research on the Assembly Pattern of MMC Bolted Flange Joint
AbstractIn a Metal-to-Metal Contact (MMC) bolted flange joint the stress of sealing surfaces is constant. It canwithstand higherbolt load. So, under the operating conditions of high temperature, high pressure or their fluctuations, the sealing effect of MMC bolted flange joints is better than of floating (FLT) bolted flange joints. According to the structure characteristics of MMC bolted flange joints, a new tightening method (SH-Method) was recommended in this work.The bolt forces during the tightening process of a MMC bolted flange joint with SH-Method were calculated and analyzed with the finite element analysis Software ANSYS. The calculating model and results were experimentally verified. Both calculating and experimentally results showed, the new tightening method ‘SH-Method’has the advantages of fewer steps, simpler operation, more uniform bolt force, and better sealing effect, compared to the star pattern and the alternative pattern #3 of ASME PCC-1, in which only the pattern methods for FLT flange joints are recommended
Hyperon polarization in \nu_\mu charged current interaction at the NOMAD energies
We show that, in at the NOMAD energies, it is
impossible to separate the products of the fragmentation of the struck quark
from those of the nucleon remnant. The latter has a large contribution even in
the current fragmentation region and has to be taken into account in
calculating polarization using different pictures. Based on this, we
make a rough estimation for the longitudinal polarization in
at the NOMAD energies. A comparison with the
data is given and predictions for are presented.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Analysis of the Y(4140) and related molecular states with QCD sum rules
In this article, we assume that there exist scalar , , and
molecular states, and study their masses using
the QCD sum rules. The numerical results indicate that the masses are about
above the corresponding ,
, and thresholds, the Y(4140) is unlikely a scalar molecular state. The scalar ,
, and molecular states maybe not exist, while the scalar , , and
molecular states maybe exist.Comment: 19 pages, 36 figures, slight revisio
Directed assembly of defined oligomeric photosynthetic reaction centres through adaptation with programmable extra-membrane coiled-coil interfaces
A challenge associated with the utilisation of bioenergetic proteins in new, synthetic energy transducing systems is achieving efficient and predictable self-assembly of individual components, both natural and man-made, into a functioning macromolecular system. Despite progress with water-soluble proteins, the challenge of programming self-assembly of integral membrane proteins into non-native macromolecular architectures remains largely unexplored. In this work it is shown that the assembly of dimers, trimers or tetramers of the naturally monomeric purple bacterial reaction centre can be directed by augmentation with an α-helical peptide that self-associates into extra-membrane coiled-coil bundle. Despite this induced oligomerisation the assembled reaction centres displayed normal spectroscopic properties, implying preserved structural and functional integrity. Mixing of two reaction centres modified with mutually complementary α-helical peptides enabled the assembly of heterodimers in vitro, pointing to a generic strategy for assembling hetero-oligomeric complexes from diverse modified or synthetic components. Addition of two coiled-coil peptides per reaction centre monomer was also tolerated despite the challenge presented to the pigment-protein assembly machinery of introducing multiple self-associating sequences. These findings point to a generalised approach where oligomers or longer range assemblies of multiple light harvesting and/or redox proteins can be constructed in a manner that can be genetically-encoded, enabling the construction of new, designed bioenergetic systems in vivo or in vitro
