Bose-Einstein correlations at LEP and Tevatron energies
Using the Bose-Einstein correlations (BEC) implemented in PYTHIA we
investigated a possibility of the CDF experiment at the Tevatron to see the
two-particle correlations in the final state of interactions. The approach
based on quantum field theory at finite temperature was applied to the ALEPH
data at LEP, and the BEC important parameters were retrieved.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Based on the talk gived at The 6th

A Spectral Line Survey of Selected 3 mm Bands Toward Sagittarius B2(N-LMH) Using the NRAO 12 Meter Radio Telescope and the BIMA Array I. The Observational Data
We have initiated a spectral line survey, at a wavelength of 3 millimeters,
toward the hot molecular core Sagittarius B2(N-LMH). This is the first spectral
line survey of the Sgr B2(N) region utilizing data from both an interferometer
(BIMA Array) and a single-element radio telescope (NRAO 12 meter). In this
survey, covering 3.6 GHz in bandwidth, we detected 218 lines (97 identified
molecular transitions, 1 recombination line, and 120 unidentified transitions).
This yields a spectral line density (lines per 100 MHz) of 6.06, which is much
larger than any previous 3 mm line survey. We also present maps from the BIMA
Array that indicate that most highly saturated species (3 or more H atoms) are
products of grain chemistry or warm gas phase chemistry. Due to the nature of
this survey we are able to probe each spectral line on multiple spatial scales,
yielding information that could not be obtained by either instrument alone.Comment: 35 pages, 15 figures, to be published in The Astrophysical Journa
Antibound poles in cutoff Woods-Saxon and in Salamon-Vertse potentials
The motion of l=0 antibound poles of the S-matrix with varying potential
strength is calculated in a cutoff Woods-Saxon (WS) potential and in the
Salamon-Vertse (SV) potential, which goes to zero smoothly at a finite
distance. The pole position of the antibound states as well as of the
resonances depend on the cutoff radius, especially for higher node numbers. The
starting points (at potential zero) of the pole trajectories correlate well
with the range of the potential. The normalized antibound radial wave functions
on the imaginary k-axis below and above the coalescence point have been found
to be real and imaginary, respectively
Comment on ``Large-space shell-model calculations for light nuclei''
In a recent publication Zheng, Vary, and Barrett reproduced the negative
quadrupole moment of Li-6 and the low-lying positive-parity states of He-5 by
using a no-core shell model. In this Comment we question the meaning of these
results by pointing out that the model used is inadequate for the reproduction
of these properties.Comment: Latex with Revtex, 1 postscript figure in separate fil

The Genetic Signature of Perineuronal Oligodendrocytes
Oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system can be categorized as precursors, myelin-forming, and non-myelinating perineuronal cells. The function of perineuronal oligodendrocytes is unknown; it was proposed that following injury, they may remyelinate denuded axons. We investigated these cells' potential. A combination of cell-specific tags, microarray technology and bioinformatics tools to identify gene expression differences between these subpopulations allowed us to capture the genetic signature of perineuronal oligodendrocytes. Here we report that perineuronal oligodendrocytes are configured for a dual role. As cells that embrace neuronal somata, they integrate a repertoire of transcripts designed to create their own code for communicating with neurons. But they maintain a reservoir of untranslated transcripts encoding the major myelin proteins for - we speculate - a demyelinating episode. We posit that the signature molecules, PDGFR-[alpha][beta] cytokine PDGF-CC, and transcription factor Pea3, used - among others - to define the non-myelinating phenotype, may be critical for mounting a myelinating programme during demyelination. Harnessing this capability is of therapeutic value for diseases such as multiple sclerosis. This is the first molecular characterization of an elusive neural cell
