Pairwise thermal entanglement in Ising-XYZ diamond chain structure in an external magnetic field
Quantum entanglement is one of the most fascinating types of correlation that
can be shared only among quantum systems. The Heisenberg chain is one of the
simplest quantum chains which exhibits a reach entanglement feature, due to the
Heisenberg interaction is quantum coupling in the spin system. The two
particles were coupled trough XYZ coupling or simply called as two-qubit XYZ
spin, which are the responsible for the emergence of thermal entanglement.
These two-qubit operators are bonded to two nodal Ising spins, and this process
is repeated infinitely resulting in a diamond chain structure. We will discuss
two-qubit thermal entanglement effect on Ising-XYZ diamond chain structure. The
concurrence could be obtained straightforwardly in terms of two-qubit density
operator elements, using this result, we study the thermal entanglement, as
well as the threshold temperature where entangled state vanishes. The present
model displays a quite unusual concurrence behavior, such as, the boundary of
two entangled regions becomes a disentangled region, this is intrinsically
related to the XY-anisotropy in the Heisenberg coupling. Despite a similar
property had been found for only two-qubit, here we show in the case of a
diamond chain structure, which reasonably represents real materials.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
An infrared diagnostic for magnetism in hot stars
Magnetospheric observational proxies are used for indirect detection of
magnetic fields in hot stars in the X-ray, UV, optical, and radio wavelength
ranges. To determine the viability of infrared (IR) hydrogen recombination
lines as a magnetic diagnostic for these stars, we have obtained low-resolution
(R~1200), near-IR spectra of the known magnetic B2V stars HR 5907 and HR 7355,
taken with the Ohio State Infrared Imager/Spectrometer (OSIRIS) attached to the
4.1m Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope. Both stars show definite
variable emission features in IR hydrogen lines of the Brackett series, with
similar properties as those found in optical spectra, including the derived
location of the detected magnetospheric plasma. These features also have the
added advantage of a lowered contribution of stellar flux at these wavelengths,
making circumstellar material more easily detectable. IR diagnostics will be
useful for the future study of magnetic hot stars, to detect and analyze
lower-density environments, and to detect magnetic candidates in areas obscured
from UV and optical observations, increasing the number of known magnetic stars
to determine basic formation properties and investigate the origin of their
magnetic fields.Comment: 4 pages, accepted for publication in A&
Chromosome study in Schistocerca (Orthoptera-Acrididae-Cyrtacanthacridinae): karyotypes and distribution patterns of constitutive heterochromatin and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs).
Chromosome analyses were performed in two grasshopper species of the genus Schistocerca, S. pallens and S. flavofasciata. Both species shared the same diploid number (2n = 23, X in males; 2n = 24, XX in females); and a con- served karyotype composed exclusively of acrocentric chromosomes but differed in their distribution patterns of constitutive heterochromatin and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs). Constitutive heterochromatin was located in the pericentromeric region of alI chromosomes in both species. S. flavofasciata presented an additional C-band on the distal region of the long arm of a small autosome pair (S9). Nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), revealed by silver nitrate staining (Ag-NORs), were observed on a medium autosome pair (M5) in both species. S. pallens presented an additional NOR-bearing autosome (M6). The same sites were labeled after FISH with an rDNA probe in S. pallens cells

Evidence for a Very Large-Scale Fractal Structure in the Universe from Cobe Measurements
In this work, we analyse the temperature fluctuations of the cosmic microwave
background radiation observed by COBE and show that the distribution can be
fitted by a fractal distribution with a fractal dimension .
This value is in close agreement with the fractal dimension obtained by Coleman
and Pietronero (1992) and Luo and Schramm (1992) from galaxy-galaxy and
cluster-cluster correlations up to . The fact that the
observed temperature fluctuations correspond to scales much larger than and are signatures of the primordial density fluctuations at the
recombination layer suggests that the structure of the matter at the early
universe was already fractal and thus non-homogeneous on those scales. This
result may have important consequences for the theoretical framework that
describes the universe.Comment: 11 pages, postscript file, 2 figures available upon request. To
