The Crystallography of Strange Quark Matter
Cold three-flavor quark matter at large (but not asymptotically large)
densities may exist as a crystalline color superconductor. We explore this
possibility by calculating the gap parameter Delta and free energy Omega(Delta)
for possible crystal structures within a Ginzburg-Landau approximation,
evaluating Omega(Delta) to order Delta^6. We develop a qualitative
understanding of what makes a crystal structure stable, and find two structures
with particularly large values of Delta and the condensation energy, within a
factor of two of those for the CFL phase known to characterize QCD at
asymptotically large densities. The robustness of these phases results in their
being favored over wide ranges of density and though it also implies that the
Ginzburg-Landau approximation is not quantitatively reliable, previous work
suggests that it can be trusted for qualitative comparisons between crystal
structures. We close with a look ahead at the calculations that remain to be
done in order to make contact with observed pulsar glitches and neutron star
cooling.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Contribution to the proceedings of Strangeness in

ABO and Rh Blood Group Distribution Among Kunbis (Maratha) population of Amravati District, Maharashtra
The present study reports the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among the Kunbis (Maratha) population of Amravati district. The phenotypic frequency of blood group B is observed highest (33.06) percent, O (31.04), A (27.02) and AB is lowest (08.33) percent. The phenotypic frequency of Rh negative is (04.26) percent. TheKunbis (Maratha) population shows close genetic relationship with the Gujratis
