Species Differentiation Of Fish Samples By Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis Of Cytochrome B Gene
Metode pengukuran polimorfisme fragmen hasil pemotongan produkreaksi polimorfik berantai oleh enzim restriksi spesifik (polymerase chainreaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, RFLP-PCR) telah digunakanuntuk membedakan beberapa jenis ikan mentah. Situs cytochrome b mitokondria,yang diamplifikasi oleh primer universal, dipotong menggunakan empat enzimrestriksi (Bfa I, Hinf I, Msp I, Mbo II) sehingga dapat dianalisa fragment-fragmentpendeknya. Hasil yang diperolah dari pemotongan oleh enzim restriksi tersebutternyata dapat digunakan untuk membedakan tiap jenis ikan sampel. Hasilpenelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa PCR dan RFLP-PCR merupakan metode yangsensitif dan dapat dilakukan dalam waktu singkat untuk membedakan berbagaijenis ikan mentah
Fluctuation modes in color-superconductors
We investigate fluctuation effects of a gap parameter in
color-superconductors. The fluctuation modes in the super phase are described
by two scalar fields of diquarks. One of them is a Nambu-Goldstone boson and
the other is a diquark boson whose mass is about twice of the gap energy (an
extended quasi-supersymmetry). In the normal phase the fluctuation becomes a
precursory (soft) mode whose amplitude increases near the critical temperature.Comment: 6 page
The Dropping of In-Medium Hadron Mass in Holographic QCD
We study the baryon density dependence of the vector meson spectrum using the
D4/D6 system together with the compact D4 baryon vertex. We find that the
vector meson mass decreases almost linearly in density at low density for small
quark mass, but saturates to a finite non-zero value for large density. We also
compute the density dependence of the mass and the
velocity. We find that in medium, our model is consistent with the GMOR
relation up to a few times the normal nuclear density. We compare our hQCD
predictions with predictions made based on hidden local gauge theory that is
constructed to model QCD.Comment: 20 pages, 7 figure
Development of an Integrated DBH Estimation Model Based on Stand and Climatic Conditions
Using Korean National Forest Inventory (NFI) data, our study developed a model to estimate stand mean diameter at breast height (DBH) reflecting the influence of site and climate factors on forest growth for the major tree species in South Korea. A DBH estimation model was developed using stand-level variables (stand age, site index and number of trees per hectare) as independent factors. The spatial autocorrelation of residuals of the model was identified using semi-variogram analysis for each tree species. Further, a residual model, in which residuals were estimated by climatic factors (mean temperature, sum temperature in the growing season and precipitation), was developed assuming that the spatial autocorrelation of residuals reflects the differences in regional climatic conditions. Linear regression analysis showed that residuals of all tree species were significantly correlated with temperature and precipitation. The DBH and residual models were integrated to estimate the current DBH under different climatic factors (temperature and precipitation) and stand-level variables. This model had high reliability (R2 = 0.74–0.79), and no obvious dependencies or patterns in residuals were noted. Our results indicated that temperature increases caused by climate change would negatively affect the DBH estimate of coniferous trees, but not of oak species
A variant transfer matrix method suitable for transport through multi-probe systems
We have developed a variant transfer matrix method that is suitable for
transport through multi-probe systems. Using this method, we have numerically
studied the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) on 2D graphene with both intrinsic
(Vso) and Rashba (Vr) spin-orbit (SO) couplings. The integer QSHE arises in the
presence of intrinsic SO interaction and is gradually destroyed by the Rashba
SO interaction and disorder fluctuation. We have numerically determined the
phase boundaries separating integer QSHE and spin Hall liquid. We have found
that when Vso> 0.2t with t the hopping constant the energy gap needed for the
integer QSHE is the largest satisfying |E|<t. For smaller Vso the energy gap
decreases linearly. In the presence of Rashba SO interaction or disorders, the
energy gap diminishes. With Rashba SO interaction the integer QSHE is robust at
the largest energy within the energy gap while at the smallest energy within
the energy gap the integer QSHE is insensitive to the disorder
Uniform current in graphene strip with zigzag edges
Graphene exhibits zero-gap massless-Dirac fermion and zero density of states
at E = 0. These particles form localized states called edge states on finite
width strip with zigzag edges at E = 0. Naively thinking, one may expect that
current is also concentrated at the edge, but Zarbo and Nikolic numerically
obtained a result that the current density shows maximum at the center of the
strip. We derive a rigorous relation for the current density, and clarify the
reason why the current density of edge state has a maximum at the center.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures; added references and corrected typos, to be

Signature of Carrier-Induced Ferromagnetism in Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta}: Exchange Interaction Between High-Spin Co 2+ and the Ti 3d Conduction Band
X-ray photoemission spectroscopy measurements were performed on thin-film
samples of rutile Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta} to reveal the electronic structure.
The Co 2p core level spectra indicate that the Co ions take the high-spin Co 2+
configuration, consistent with substitution on the Ti site. The high spin state
and the shift due to the exchange splitting of the conduction band suggest
strong hybridization between carriers in the Ti 3d t2g band and the t2g states
of the high-spin Co 2+. These observations support the argument that room
temperature ferromagnetism in Ti_{1-x}Co_{x}O_{2-delta} is intrinsic.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures. Accepted for publication in Physical Review

Enhanced magnetic response of fluids using self-assembled petal-like iron oxide particles
Using self-assembled iron oxide (SAIO) particles with petal-like morphology, aqueous fluids containing magnetic particles were prepared and the effect of hierarchical particle surface on the viscoelasticity under magnetic was investigated. The fluids consisting of self-assembled iron oxide particles exhibit highly tunable viscoelasticity which is controlled by applying external magnetic field. A difference between SAIO particles and spherical particles is explained by the fact that surface features of the self-assembled particles increased the network strength between particles in the fluids. © 2010 American Institute of Physics
Electroweak phase transition in a nonminimal supersymmetric model
The Higgs potential of the minimal nonminimal supersymmetric standard model
(MNMSSM) is investigated within the context of electroweak phase transition. We
investigate the allowed parameter space yielding correct electroweak phase
transitoin employing a high temperature approximation. We devote to
phenomenological consequences for the Higgs sector of the MNMSSM for
electron-positron colliders. It is observed that a future linear
collider with GeV will be able to test the model with regard
to electroweak baryogenesis.Comment: 28 pages, 5 tables, 12 figure
