A Supersymmetric Flipped SU(5) Intersecting Brane World
We construct an N=1 supersymmetric three-family flipped SU(5) model from type
IIA orientifolds on with D6-branes intersecting at
general angles. The spectrum contains a complete grand unified and electroweak
Higgs sector. In addition, it contains extra exotic matter both in
bi-fundamental and vector-like representations as well as two copies of matter
in the symmetric representation of SU(5).Comment: 17 pages, 3 tables, v2 published in Phys.Lett.
Spectroscopic characterization of the oxo-transfer reaction from a bis(”-oxo)dicopper(III) complex to triphenylphosphine
The oxygen-atom transfer reaction from the bis(”-oxo)dicopper(III) complex [CuIII2(”-O)2(L)2]2+1, where L =N,N,N,N -tetraethylethylenediamine, to PPh3 has been studied by UV-vis, EPR, 1H NMR and Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy in parallel at low temperatures (193 K) and above. Under aerobic conditions (excess dioxygen), 1 reacted with PPh3, giving OPPh3 and a diamagnetic species that has been assigned to an oxo-bridged dicopper(II) complex on the basis of EPR and Cu K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopic data. Isotope-labeling experiments (18O2) established that the oxygen atom incorporated into the triphenylphosphine oxide came from both complex 1 and exogenous dioxygen. Detailed kinetic studies revealed that the process is a third-order reaction; the rate law is first order in both complex 1 and triphenylphosphine, as well as in dioxygen. At temperatures above 233 K, reaction of 1 with PPh3 was accompanied by ligand degradation, leading to oxidative N-dealkylation of one of the ethyl groups. By contrast, when the reaction was performed in the absence of excess dioxygen, negligible substrate (PPh3) oxidation was observed. Instead, highly symmetrical copper complexes with a characteristic isotropic EPR signal at g= 2.11 were formed. These results are discussed in terms of parallel reaction channels that are activated under various conditions of temperature and dioxygen

Advances in test and measurement of the interface adhesion and bond strengths in coating-substrate systems, emphasising blister and bulk techniques
In this paper, recent advances in the minimum-destructive testing of the adhesion of coating-substrate systems are reviewed, focusing on key techniques such as micro- and nano-scale levels of indentation, scratching, laser-induced wave shock, as well as the blister and buckle approach. Along with adhesion failure tests, the latest and most extensive applications of the adhesion test methods in nano-, micro- and bulk-coating technology and the associated techniques to determine the minimum damage defects left on the coatings are discussed and their use reviewed
Cavity QED determination of atomic number statistics in optical lattices
We study the reflection of two counter-propagating modes of the light field
in a ring resonator by ultracold atoms either in the Mott insulator state or in
the superfluid state of an optical lattice. We obtain exact numerical results
for a simple two-well model and carry out statistical calculations appropriate
for the full lattice case. We find that the dynamics of the reflected light
strongly depends on both the lattice spacing and the state of the matter-wave
field. Depending on the lattice spacing, the light field is sensitive to
various density-density correlation functions of the atoms. The light field and
the atoms become strongly entangled if the latter are in a superfluid state, in
which case the photon statistics typically exhibit complicated multimodal
structures.Comment: 10 pages revtex, 13 figure
Application of nonlinear deformation algebra to a physical system with P\"oschl-Teller potential
We comment on a recent paper by Chen, Liu, and Ge (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 31
(1998) 6473), wherein a nonlinear deformation of su(1,1) involving two
deforming functions is realized in the exactly solvable quantum-mechanical
problem with P\" oschl-Teller potential, and is used to derive the well-known
su(1,1) spectrum-generating algebra of this problem. We show that one of the
defining relations of the nonlinear algebra, presented by the authors, is only
valid in the limiting case of an infinite square well, and we determine the
correct relation in the general case. We also use it to establish the correct
link with su(1,1), as well as to provide an algebraic derivation of the
eigenfunction normalization constant.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, no figure
Dyonic Wormholes in 5D Kaluza-Klein Theory
New spherically symmetric dyonic solutions, describing a wormhole-like class
of spacetime configurations in five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory, are given
in an explicit form. For this type of solution the electric and magnetic fields
cause a significantly different global structure. For the electric dominated
case, the solution is everywhere regular but, when the magnetic strength
overcomes the electric contribution, the mouths of the wormhole become singular
points. When the electric and magnetic charge parameters are identical, the
throats ``degenerate'' and the solution reduces to the trivial embedding of the
four-dimensional massless Reissner-Nordstr{\"o}m black hole solution. In
addition, their counterparts in eleven-dimensional supergravity are constructed
by a non-trivial uplifting.Comment: Revised version to appear in Class. Quant. Gra
Simple choreographies of the planar Newtonian -body Problem
In the -body problem, a simple choreography is a periodic solution, where
all masses chase each other on a single loop. In this paper we prove that for
the planar Newtonian -body problem with equal masses, , there are
at least different main simple choreographies. This
confirms a conjecture given by Chenciner and etc. in \cite{CGMS02}.Comment: 31pages, 6 figures. Refinements in notations and proof
