A Flexible Implementation of a Matrix Laurent Series-Based 16-Point Fast Fourier and Hartley Transforms
This paper describes a flexible architecture for implementing a new fast
computation of the discrete Fourier and Hartley transforms, which is based on a
matrix Laurent series. The device calculates the transforms based on a single
bit selection operator. The hardware structure and synthesis are presented,
which handled a 16-point fast transform in 65 nsec, with a Xilinx SPARTAN 3E
device.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures. IEEE VI Southern Programmable Logic Conference

Constraining non-minimally coupled tachyon fields by Noether symmetry
A model for a spatially flat homogeneous and isotropic Universe whose
gravitational sources are a pressureless matter field and a tachyon field
non-minimally coupled to the gravitational field is analyzed. Noether symmetry
is used to find the expressions for the potential density and for the coupling
function, and it is shown that both must be exponential functions of the
tachyon field. Two cosmological solutions are investigated: (i) for the early
Universe whose only source of the gravitational field is a non-minimally
coupled tachyon field which behaves as an inflaton and leads to an exponential
accelerated expansion and (ii) for the late Universe whose gravitational
sources are a pressureless matter field and a non-minimally coupled tachyon
field which plays the role of dark energy and is the responsible of the
decelerated-accelerated transition period.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures. Version accepted for publication in Classical

Noether symmetry for non-minimally coupled fermion fields
A cosmological model where a fermion field is non-minimally coupled with the
gravitational field is studied. By applying Noether symmetry the possible
functions for the potential density of the fermion field and for the coupling
are determined. Cosmological solutions are found showing that the non-minimally
coupled fermion field behaves as an inflaton describing an accelerated
inflationary scenario, whereas the minimally coupled fermion field describes a
decelerated period being identified as dark matter.Comment: Revised version accepted for publication in Classical and Quantum

Signature of the interaction between dark energy and dark matter in observations
We investigate the effect of an interaction between dark energy and dark
matter upon the dynamics of galaxy clusters. This effect is computed through
the Layser-Irvine equation, which describes how an astrophysical system reaches
virial equilibrium and was modified to include the dark interactions. Using
observational data from almost 100 purportedly relaxed galaxy clusters we put
constraints on the strength of the couplings in the dark sector. We compare our
results with those from other observations and find that a positive (in the
sense of energy flow from dark energy to dark matter) non vanishing interaction
is consistent with the data within several standard deviations.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figures; matches PRD published versio

Selection of mouse cells with amplified metallothionein genes retaining their glucocorticoid inducibility
AbstractTwo new mouse cell mutants, resistant to either 80 or 100 mM CdCl2, were isolated to study the regulation of transcription by the glucocorticoid hormones. Their metallothionein mt-1+ and mt-2+ genes were amplified coordinately to a maximum of 30 copies per cell. By Southern blot analysis, no gross rearrangement was detectable near the mt+ loci. Contrary to other mutants previously isolated, the metallothionein-specific mRNAs of these mutants are inducible by dexamethasone
