The Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) of Tennessee, With a Review of the Possibly Threatened Species Occurring Within the State
One hundred and forty-three species of mayflies are reported from the state of Tennessee. Sixteen species (Ameletus cryptostimulus, Choroterpes basalis, Baetis virile, Ephemera blanda, E. simulans, Ephemerella berneri, Heterocloeon curiosum, H. petersi, Labiobaetis ephippiatus, Leptophlebia bradleyi, Macdunnoa brunnea, Paraleptophlebia assimilis, P. debilis, P. mollis, Rhithrogenia pellucida and Siphlonurus mirus) are reported for the first time. Rare and vulnerable species occurring in the state are also discussed. This represents the first comprehensive statewide list of mayflies for Tennessee
Probing neutrino and Higgs sectors in model with lepton-flavor non-universality
The neutrino and Higgs sectors in the \mbox{SU(2)}_1 \times \mbox{SU(2)}_2
\times \mbox{U(1)}_Y model with lepton-flavor non-universality are discussed.
We show that active neutrinos can get Majorana masses from radiative
corrections, after adding only new singly charged Higgs bosons. The mechanism
for generation of neutrino masses is the same as in the Zee models. This also
gives a hint to solving the dark matter problem based on similar ways discussed
recently in many radiative neutrino mass models with dark matter. Except the
active neutrinos, the appearance of singly charged Higgs bosons and dark matter
does not affect significantly the physical spectrum of all particles in the
original model. We indicate this point by investigating the Higgs sector in
both cases before and after singly charged scalars are added into it. Many
interesting properties of physical Higgs bosons, which were not shown
previously, are explored. In particular, the mass matrices of charged and
CP-odd Higgs fields are proportional to the coefficient of triple Higgs
coupling . The mass eigenstates and eigenvalues in the CP-even Higgs
sector are also presented. All couplings of the SM-like Higgs boson to normal
fermions and gauge bosons are different from the SM predictions by a factor
, which must satisfy the recent global fit of experimental data, namely
. We have analyzed a more general diagonalization of gauge boson
mass matrices, then we show that the ratio of the tangents of the and
mixing angles is exactly the cosine of the Weinberg angle, implying that
number of parameters is reduced by 1. Signals of new physics from decays of new
heavy fermions and Higgs bosons at LHC and constraints of their masses are also
discussed.Comment: 40 pages, 1 figure; Journal vesio
Dynamic magnetic response of infinite arrays of ferromagnetic particles
Recently developed techniques to find the eigenmodes of a ferromagnetic
particle of arbitrary shape, as well as the absorption in the presence of an
inhomogeneous radio-frequency field, are extended to treat infinite lattices of
such particles. The method is applied to analyze the results of recent FMR
experiments, and yields substantially good agreement between theory and
experiment
The conceptual evolution of responsible research and innovation in China:A systematic literature review
Within the contemporary global economy, research and innovation are just as likely to come from non-western economic and political powers, such as China, as from western powers more traditionally associated with research and innovation production, such as in Europe and North America. Subsequently, how Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is conceptualised and applied in these alternative contexts is an important question. This review aims to contribute to a better understanding of the evolution and application of RRI in China by reviewing Chinese academic literature. Our analysis indicates that, on the one hand, there is wariness that a complete transplantation of a European conception of RRI to China might lead to cultural imperialism. On the other hand, it is hoped that RRI will improve the ethical governance of technological innovation in China. By analysing Chinese scholarship, the paper also attempts to define distinctive features of RRI in China.</p
Search for and strangeonium-like structures
Theoretically, it has been presumed from an effective Lagrangian calculation
that there could exist two charged strangeonium-like molecular states
and , with and
configurations respectively. In the framework of QCD sum rules, we predict that
masses of () and ()
are and respectively, which are both above
their respective two meson thresholds. We suggest to put in practice the search
for these two charged strangeonium-like structures in future experiments.Comment: 7 pages, 4 eps figures; the version accepted for publication in PRD.

Predicting drug metabolism: Concepts and challenges
The paper begins with a discussion of the needs and goals of metabolic predictions in early drug research. Major difficulties toward this objective are examined, mainly the various substrate and product selectivities characteristic of drug metabolism. In a second part, we classify and summarize the major in silico methods used to predict drug metabolism. A discrimination is thus made between "local ”and "global ”systems. In the last part of the paper, the program METEOR is presented and evaluated using the published metabolic data of 10 substrate
Evolution of Nuclear Shell Structure due to the Pion Exchange Potential
The evolution of nuclear shell structure is investigated for the first time
within density-dependent relativistic Hartree-Fock theory and the role of
-exchange potential is studied in detail. The energy differences between
the neutron orbits \Lrb{\nu1h_{9/2},\nu 1i_{13/2}} in the N=82 isotones and
between the proton ones \Lrb{\pi1g_{7/2},\pi1h_{11/2}} in the Z=50 isotopes
are extracted as a function of neutron excess . A kink around for
the N=82 isotones is found as an effect resulting from pion correlations. It is
shown that the inclusion of -coupling plays a central role to provide
realistic isospin dependence of the energy differences. In particular, the
tensor part of the -coupling has an important effect on the characteristic
isospin dependence observed in recent experiments.Comment: 4 pages and 4 figure
