Study of the slepton non-universality at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
In supersymmetric theory, the sfermion-fermion-gaugino interactions conserve
the chirality of (s)fermions. The effect appears as the charge asymmetry in
distributions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider where jets and leptons
arise from the cascade decay . Furthermore, the decay branching ratios and the charge
asymmetries in distributions are flavor non-universal due to the
and mixing. When is large, the
non-universality between and becomes level. We perform a
Monte Carlo simulation for some minimal supergravity benchmark points to
demonstrate the detectability.Comment: 19 pages, 6 figures, revte
Deep Space Network utilization for flight projects, calendar year 1981
A report on the utilization of the Deep Space Network during calendar year 1981 in support of all flight projects is presented. The network expended 63% of its total capability in support of Space Flight projects
NMR relaxation of quantum spin chains in magnetic fields
We investigate NMR relaxation rates 1/T_1 of quantum spin chains in magnetic
fields. Universal properties for the divergence behavior of 1/T_1 are obtained
in the Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid state. The results are discussed in comparison
with experimental results.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Requirement of the FATC domain of protein kinase Tel1 for localization to DNA ends and target protein recognition
Two large phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related protein kinases (PIKKs), ATM and ATR, play a central role in the DNA damage response pathway. PIKKs contain a highly conserved extreme C-terminus called the FRAP-ATM-TRRAP-C-terminal (FATC) domain. In budding yeast, ATM and ATR correspond to Tel1 and Mec1, respectively. In this study, we characterized functions of the FATC domain of Tel1 by introducing substitution or truncation mutations. One substitution mutation, termed tel1-21, and a truncation mutation, called tel1- Î"C, did not significantly affect the expression level. The tel1-21 mutation impaired the cellular response to DNA damage and conferred moderate telomere maintenance defect. In contrast, the tel1-Î"C mutation behaved like a null mutation, conferring defects in both DNA damage response and telomere maintenance. Tel1-21 protein localized to DNA ends as effectively as wild-type Tel1 protein, whereas Tel1-Î"C protein failed. Introduction of a hyperactive TEL1-hy mutation suppressed the tel1-21 mutation but not the tel1-Î"C mutation. In vitro analyses revealed that both Tel1-21 and Tel1-Î"C proteins undergo efficient autophosphorylation but exhibit decreased kinase activities toward the exogenous substrate protein, Rad53. Our results show that the FATC domain of Tel1 mediates localization to DNA ends and contributes to phosphorylation of target proteins. © 2015 Ogi, Goto, Ghosh, et al
Optical pumping NMR in the compensated semiconductor InP:Fe
The optical pumping NMR effect in the compensated semiconductor InP:Fe has
been investigated in terms of the dependences of photon energy (E_p), helicity
(sigma+-), and exposure time (tau_L) of infrared lights. The {31}P and {115}In
signal enhancements show large sigma+- asymmetries and anomalous oscillations
as a function of E_p. We find that (i) the oscillation period as a function of
E_p is similar for {31}P and {115}In and almost field independent in spite of
significant reduction of the enhancement in higher fields. (ii) A
characteristic time for buildup of the {31}P polarization under the light
exposure shows strong E_p-dependence, but is almost independent of sigma+-.
(iii) The buildup times for {31}P and {115}In are of the same order (10^3 s),
although the spin-lattice relaxation times (T_1) are different by more than
three orders of magnitude between them. The results are discussed in terms of
(1) discrete energy spectra due to donor-acceptor pairs (DAPs) in compensated
semiconductors, and (2) interplay between {31}P and dipolar ordered indium
nuclei, which are optically induced.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to Physical Review
Derivation of Non-isotropic Phase Equations from a General Reaction-Diffusion Equation
A non-isotropic version of phase equations such as the Burgers equation, the
K-dV-Burgers equation, the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation and the Benney
equation in the three-dimensional space is systematically derived from a
general reaction-diffusion system by means of the renormalization group method.Comment: 21pages,no figure
