Tau longitudinal polarization in B -> D tau nu and its role in the search for charged Higgs boson
We study the longitudinal polarization of the tau lepton in B -> D tau nu
decay. After discussing possible sensitivities of tau decay modes to the tau
polarization, we examine the effect of charged Higgs boson on the tau
polarization in B -> D tau nu. We find a relation between the decay rate and
the tau polarization, and clarify the role of the tau polarization measurement
in the search for the charged Higgs boson.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures. Tau -> l nu nu is included in Sec. II.

Anomalous Hall effect in non-collinear antiferromagnetic antiperovskite MnNiCuN
We report the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in antiperovskite MnNiN with
substantial doping of Cu on the Ni site (i.e. MnNiCuN),
which stabilizes a noncollinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) order compatible with
the AHE. Observed on both sintered polycrystalline pieces and single
crystalline films, the AHE does not scale with the net magnetization, contrary
to the conventional ferromagnetic case. The existence of the AHE is explained
through symmetry analysis based on the AFM order in Cu doped
MnNiN. DFT calculations of the intrinsic contribution to the AHE reveal
the non-vanishing Berry curvature in momentum space due to the noncollinear
magnetic order. Combined with other attractive properties, antiperovskite
MnAN system offers great potential in AFM spintronics.Comment: Supplemental Materials not include
About the Epidemic of a Kind of Feveric Jaundice occurred in some Parts of Okayama City during the later Summer 1935
There occurred an epidemic of a kind of feveric jaundice in some parts of Okayama City and its vicinity from the later part of Summer till early autumn 1935. As we had never learned such an outbreak of such an epidemic in these districts, we wished to make it clear. We have studied it under the guidance of Prof. M. Suzuki and our study as a whole resulted as follows: 1) To our regret, we could not succeed in isolating the causal agent. This may be we think, for when we set about the study, the epidemic had already come to its closing period. 2) The clinical symptoms of this disease, we observed, were quite identical with those of the Sakushu fever. 3) And as the serological tests we examined the Pfeiffers phenomenon test and the agglomeration reaction on 12 cases and obtained: 7 positive reaction with Akiyami repto. type A. 3 positive reaction with Akiyami repto. type B. these 10 negative reaction with repto. ict. haemorrha. and the rest 2 of 12 cases gave negative reaction with any of these reptospiras. 4) We cannot yet dare to describe clearly from the epidemiological point of view why such a prevalence of this disease broke out in 1935, but it might be regarded as remarkable facts to indicate some relationship between the great inundation and the epidemic that the infected locality was visited by a disastrous inundation in the preceding year, that the upper course district of the flooded river Asahi was known as the region influenced by the Sakushu fever, and that the infected parts of Okayama City borders the suburbs where a great number of the rats, regarded as the mediators of the Sakushu fever are living, etc.

Exact Analysis of Soliton Dynamics in Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates
We propose an integrable model of a multicomponent spinor Bose-Einstein
condensate in one dimension, which allows an exact description of the dynamics
of bright solitons with spin degrees of freedom. We consider specifically an
atomic condensate in the F=1 hyperfine state confined by an optical dipole
trap. When the mean-field interaction is attractive (c_0 < 0) and the
spin-exchange interaction of a spinor condensate is ferromagnetic (c_2 < 0), we
prove that the system possesses a completely integrable point leading to the
existence of multiple bright solitons. By applying results from the inverse
scattering method, we analyze a collision law for two-soliton solutions and
find that the dynamics can be explained in terms of the spin precession.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
