Histochemical experiments are conducted in order to study the interrenal cells of European brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri)
Realizations of Differential Operators on Conic Manifolds with Boundary
We study the closed extensions (realizations) of differential operators
subject to homogeneous boundary conditions on weighted L_p-Sobolev spaces over
a manifold with boundary and conical singularities. Under natural ellipticity
conditions we determine the domains of the minimal and the maximal extension.
We show that both are Fredholm operators and give a formula for the relative
index.Comment: 41 pages, 1 figur
Comment on `Hawking radiation from fluctuating black holes'
Takahashi & Soda (2010 Class. Quantum Grav. v27 p175008, arXiv:1005.0286)
have recently considered the effect (at lowest non-trivial order) of dynamical,
quantized gravitational fluctuations on the spectrum of scalar Hawking
radiation from a collapsing Schwarzschild black hole. However, due to an
unfortunate choice of gauge, the dominant (even divergent) contribution to the
coefficient of the spectrum correction that they identify is a pure gauge
artifact. I summarize the logic of their calculation, comment on the
divergences encountered in its course and comment on how they could be
eliminated, and thus the calculation be completed.Comment: 12 pages, 1 fig; feynmp, amsref
Shedding light on a living lab: the CLEF NEWSREEL open recommendation platform
In the CLEF NEWSREEL lab, participants are invited to evaluate news recommendation techniques in real-time by providing news recommendations to actual users that visit commercial news portals to satisfy their information needs. A central role within this lab is the communication between participants and the users. This is enabled by The Open Recommendation Platform (ORP), a web-based platform which distributes users' impressions of news articles to the participants and returns their recommendations to the readers. In this demo, we illustrate the platform and show how requests are handled to provide relevant news articles in real-time
On the Structure of the Observable Algebra of QCD on the Lattice
The structure of the observable algebra of lattice
QCD in the Hamiltonian approach is investigated. As was shown earlier,
is isomorphic to the tensor product of a gluonic
-subalgebra, built from gauge fields and a hadronic subalgebra
constructed from gauge invariant combinations of quark fields. The gluonic
component is isomorphic to a standard CCR algebra over the group manifold
SU(3). The structure of the hadronic part, as presented in terms of a number of
generators and relations, is studied in detail. It is shown that its
irreducible representations are classified by triality. Using this, it is
proved that the hadronic algebra is isomorphic to the commutant of the triality
operator in the enveloping algebra of the Lie super algebra
(factorized by a certain ideal).Comment: 33 page
Correlating the nanostructure of Al-oxide with deposition conditions and dielectric contributions of two-level systems in perspective of superconducting quantum circuits
This work is concerned with Al/Al-oxide(AlO)/Al-layer systems which are
important for Josephson-junction-based superconducting devices such as quantum
bits. The device performance is limited by noise, which has been to a large
degree assigned to the presence and properties of two-level tunneling systems
in the amorphous AlO tunnel barrier. The study is focused on the
correlation of the fabrication conditions, nanostructural and nanochemical
properties and the occurrence of two-level tunneling systems with particular
emphasis on the AlO-layer. Electron-beam evaporation with two different
processes and sputter deposition were used for structure fabrication, and the
effect of illumination by ultraviolet light during Al-oxide formation is
elucidated. Characterization was performed by analytical transmission electron
microscopy and low-temperature dielectric measurements. We show that the
fabrication conditions have a strong impact on the nanostructural and
nanochemical properties of the layer systems and the properties of two-level
tunneling systems. Based on the understanding of the observed structural
characteristics, routes are derived towards the fabrication of
Al/AlO/Al-layers systems with improved properties.Comment: 28 pages, 4 figure
Fermion Determinants
The current status of bounds on and limits of fermion determinants in two,
three and four dimensions in QED and QCD is reviewed. A new lower bound on the
two-dimensional QED determinant is derived. An outline of the demonstration of
the continuity of this determinant at zero mass when the background magnetic
field flux is zero is also given.Comment: 10 page
