Exact solution of the trigonometric vertex model with non-diagonal open boundaries
The trigonometric vertex model with {\it generic
non-diagonal} boundaries is studied. The double-row transfer matrix of the
model is diagonalized by algebraic Bethe ansatz method in terms of the
intertwiner and the corresponding face-vertex relation. The eigenvalues and the
corresponding Bethe ansatz equations are obtained.Comment: Latex file, 25 pages; V2: minor typos corrected, the version appears

Non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation for the trigonometric vertex model
We obtain a class of non-diagonal solutions of the reflection equation for
the trigonometric vertex model. The solutions can be expressed
in terms of intertwinner matrix and its inverse, which intertwine two
trigonometric R-matrices. In addition to a {\it discrete} (positive integer)
parameter , , the solution contains {\it continuous}
boundary parameters.Comment: Latex file, 14 pages; V2, minor typos corrected and a reference adde
On the second reference state and complete eigenstates of the open XXZ chain
The second reference state of the open XXZ spin chain with non-diagonal
boundary terms is studied. The associated Bethe states exactly yield the second
set of eigenvalues proposed recently by functional Bethe Ansatz. In the
quasi-classical limit, two sets of Bethe states give the complete eigenstates
of the associated Gaudin model.Comment: Latex file, 12 pages; New version appears in JHE
elliptic Gaudin model with open boundaries
The elliptic Gaudin model with integrable boundaries specified by
generic non-diagonal K-matrices with free boundary parameters is studied.
The commuting families of Gaudin operators are diagonalized by the algebraic
Bethe ansatz method. The eigenvalues and the corresponding Bethe ansatz
equations are obtained.Comment: 21 pages, Latex fil
Nondissipative Drag Conductance as a Topological Quantum Number
We show in this paper that the boundary condition averaged nondissipative
drag conductance of two coupled mesoscopic rings with no tunneling, evaluated
in a particular many-particle eigenstate, is a topological invariant
characterized by a Chern integer. Physical implications of this observation are
discussed.Comment: 4 pages, no figure. Title modified and significant revision made to

Drinfeld twist and symmetric Bethe vectors of the open XYZ chain with non-diagonal boundary terms
With the help of the Drinfeld twist or factorizing F-matrix for the
eight-vertex solid-on-solid (SOS) model, we find that in the F-basis provided
by the twist the two sets of pseudo-particle creation operators simultaneously
take completely symmetric and polarization free form. This allows us to obtain
the explicit and completely symmetric expressions of the two sets of Bethe
states of the model.Comment: Latex file, 25 page
Analytic Bethe Ansatz for Fundamental Representations of Yangians
We study the analytic Bethe ansatz in solvable vertex models associated with
the Yangian or its quantum affine analogue for and . Eigenvalue formulas are proposed for the transfer matrices
related to all the fundamental representations of . Under the Bethe
ansatz equation, we explicitly prove that they are pole-free, a crucial
property in the ansatz. Conjectures are also given on higher representation
cases by applying the -system, the transfer matrix functional relations
proposed recently. The eigenvalues are neatly described in terms of Yangian
analogues of the semi-standard Young tableaux.Comment: 45 pages, Plain Te
Absence of a dose-rate effect in the transformation of C3H 10T1/2 cells by α-particles
The findings of Hill et al. (1984) on the greatly enhanced transformation frequencies at very low dose rates of fission neutrons induced us to perform an analogous study with -particles at comparable dose rates. Transformation frequencies were determined with γ-rays at high dose rate (0·5 Gy/min), and with -particles at high (0·2 Gy/min) and at low dose rates (0·83-2·5 mGy/min) in the C3H 10T1/2 cell system.
α-particles were substantially more effective than γ-rays, both for cell inactivation and for neoplastic transformation at high and low dose rates. The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) for cell inactivation and for neoplastic transformation was of similar magnitude, and ranged from about 3 at an -particle dose of 2 Gy to values of the order of 10 at 0·25 Gy. In contrast to the experiments of Hill et al. (1984) with fission neutrons, no increased transformation frequencies were observed when the -particle dose was protracted over several hours
Exosomes and HIV Gag bud from endosome-like domains of the T cell plasma membrane
Exosomes are secreted, single membrane organelles of ∼100 nm diameter. Their biogenesis is typically thought to occur in a two-step process involving (1) outward vesicle budding at limiting membranes of endosomes (outward = away from the cytoplasm), which generates intralumenal vesicles, followed by (2) endosome–plasma membrane fusion, which releases these internal vesicles into the extracellular milieu as exosomes. In this study, we present evidence that certain cells, including Jurkat T cells, possess discrete domains of plasma membrane that are enriched for exosomal and endosomal proteins, retain the endosomal property of outward vesicle budding, and serve as sites of immediate exosome biogenesis. It has been hypothesized that retroviruses utilize the exosome biogenesis pathway for the formation of infectious particles. In support of this, we find that Jurkat T cells direct the key budding factor of HIV, HIV Gag, to these endosome-like domains of plasma membrane and secrete HIV Gag from the cell in exosomes
