Tensorial perturbations in the bulk of inflating brane worlds
In this paper we consider the stability of some inflating brane-world models
in quantum cosmology. It is shown that whereas the singular model based on the
construction of inflating branes from Euclidean five-dimensional anti-de Sitter
space is unstable to tensorial cosmological perturbations in the bulk, the
nonsingular model which uses a five-dimensional asymptotically anti-de Sitter
wormhole to construct the inflating branes is stable to these perturbations.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, to appear in Phys. Rev.
Spectropolarimetric analysis of an active region filament. I. Magnetic and dynamical properties from single component inversions
The determination of the magnetic filed vector in solar filaments is possible
by interpreting the Hanle and Zeeman effects in suitable chromospheric spectral
lines like those of the He I multiplet at 10830 A. We study the vector magnetic
field of an active region filament (NOAA 12087). Spectropolarimetric data of
this active region was acquired with the GRIS instrument at the GREGOR
telescope and studied simultaneously in the chromosphere with the He I 10830 A
multiplet and in the photosphere with the Si I 10827 A line. As it is usual
from previous studies, only a single component model is used to infer the
magnetic properties of the filament. The results are put into a solar context
with the help of the Solar Dynamic Observatory images. Some results clearly
point out that a more complex inversion had to be done. Firstly, the Stokes
map of He I does not show any clear signature of the presence of the filament.
Secondly, the local azimuth map follows the same pattern than Stokes as if
the polarity of Stokes were conditioning the inference to very different
magnetic field even with similar linear polarization signals. This indication
suggests that the Stokes could be dominated by the below magnetic field
coming from the active region, and not, from the filament itself. Those and
more evidences will be analyzed in depth and a more complex inversion will be
attempted in the second part of this series.Comment: 18 pages, 19 figures, accepted for publication in A&
Understanding the relevance of national culture in international business research: a quantitative analysis
This review is a comprehensive quantitative analysis of the International Business literature whose focus is on national culture. The analysis relies on a broad range of bibliometric techniques as productivity rankings, citation analysis (individual and cumulative), study of collaborative research patterns, and analysis of the knowledge base. It provides insights on (I) faculty and institutional research productivity and performance; (II) articles, institutions, and scholars’ influence in the contents of the field and its research agenda; and (III) national and international collaborative research trends. The study also explores the body of literature that has exerted the greatest impact on the researched set of selected articles.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
LISTA SISTEMÁTICA PRELIMINAR DE LOS PECES DEL ESTADO DE NAYARIT, MÉXICO
La ictiofauna del estado de Nayarit México ha sido poco estudiada y documentada, así el objetivo del trabajo es presentar el listado de los peces reportados en el estado a partir de una exhaustiva revisión bibliográfica y consulta de bases de datos disponibles en internet. Se encontraron 587 especies reportadas. La mayoría de los registros corresponden a especies de afinidad marina y estuarina, mientras que las dulceacuícolas están escasamente representadas. La ictiofauna reportada es diversa, sin embargo existen un escaso conocimiento de los ambientes dulceacuícolas, las zonas prioritarias para su estudio se ubican en prácticamente todo el estado. Además, se recomienda verificar el material presente en las colecciones, con la finalidad de complementar los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo
Self-similar transmission properties of aperiodic Cantor potentials in gapped graphene
We investigate the transmission properties of quasiperiodic or aperiodic
structures based on graphene arranged according to the Cantor sequence. In
particular, we have found self-similar behaviour in the transmission spectra,
and most importantly, we have calculated the scalability of the spectra. To do
this, we implement and propose scaling rules for each one of the fundamental
parameters: generation number, height of the barriers and length of the system.
With this in mind we have been able to reproduce the reference transmission
spectrum, applying the appropriate scaling rule, by means of the scaled
transmission spectrum. These scaling rules are valid for both normal and
oblique incidence, and as far as we can see the basic ingredients to obtain
self-similar characteristics are: relativistic Dirac electrons, a self-similar
structure and the non-conservation of the pseudo-spin. This constitutes a
reduction of the number of conditions needed to observe self-similarity in
graphene-based structures, see D\'iaz-Guerrero et al. [D. S. D\'iaz-Guerrero,
