IG/OG program for generating and displaying NASTRAN input and output data
A software system was provided for structural analysis fields using NASTRAN. The HITAC users in Japan can use IG/OG (input generator/output generator) program for NASTRAN. The IG/OG saves time required to make a structure analysis for interpreting NASTRAN results
Thermodynamic black di-rings
Previously the five dimensional -rotating black rings have been
superposed in a concentric way by some solitonic methods, and regular systems
of two -rotating black rings were constructed by the authors and then
Evslin and Krishnan (we called these solutions "black di-rings"). In this place
we show some characteristics of the solutions of five dimensional black
di-rings, especially in thermodynamic equilibrium. After the summary of the
di-ring expressions and their physical quantities, first we comment on the
equivalence of the two different solution sets of the black di-rings. Then the
existence of thermodynamic black di-rings is shown, in which both isothermality
and isorotation between the inner black ring and the outer black ring are
realized. We also give detailed analysis of peculiar properties of the
thermodynamic black di-ring including discussion about a certain kind of
thermodynamic stability (instability) of the system.Comment: 26 pages,10 figures; references added, typos corredte
Comment on "First order amorphous-amorphous transformation in silica"
In a recent letter (Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 4629 (2000)), Lacks presents
evidence of a first order amorphous-amorphous transition in silica at T=0. He
calculates the free energy along a path of compression and successive
decompression of a sample of 108 SiO2 units. The free energy of the two
branches cross each other, and this is interpreted as evidence of a first order
transition. We show that this conclusion does not follow from the shown data,
since qualitatively the same phenomenology is obtained in a model where a first
order transition does not exist.Comment: 1 page, 1 figure, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
A Potential Energy Landscape Study of the Amorphous-Amorphous Transformation in HO
We study the potential energy landscape explored during a
compression-decompression cycle for the SPC/E (extended simple point charge)
model of water. During the cycle, the system changes from low density amorphous
ice (LDA) to high density amorphous ice (HDA). After the cycle, the system does
not return to the same region of the landscape, supporting the interesting
possibility that more than one significantly different configuration
corresponds to LDA. We find that the regions of the landscape explored during
this transition have properties remarkably different from those explored in
thermal equilibrium in the liquid phase
New Axisymmetric Stationary Solutions of Five-dimensional Vacuum Einstein Equations with Asymptotic Flatness
New axisymmetric stationary solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations in
five-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes are obtained by using solitonic
solution-generating techniques. The new solutions are shown to be equivalent to
the four-dimensional multi-solitonic solutions derived from particular class of
four-dimensional Weyl solutions and to include different black rings from those
obtained by Emparan and Reall.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures;typos corrected, presentations improved,

Rotating Black Holes on Kaluza-Klein Bubbles
Using the solitonic solution generating techniques, we generate a new exact
solution which describes a pair of rotating black holes on a Kaluza-Klein
bubble as a vacuum solution in the five-dimensional Kaluza-Klein theory. We
also investigate the properties of this solution. Two black holes with topology
S^3 are rotating along the same direction and the bubble plays a role in
holding two black holes. In static case, it coincides with the solution found
by Elvang and Horowitz.Comment: 16 pages, 1 figure, minor correctio
Ice XII in its second regime of metastability
We present neutron powder diffraction results which give unambiguous evidence
for the formation of the recently identified new crystalline ice phase[Lobban
et al.,Nature, 391, 268, (1998)], labeled ice XII, at completely different
conditions. Ice XII is produced here by compressing hexagonal ice I_h at T =
77, 100, 140 and 160 K up to 1.8 GPa. It can be maintained at ambient pressure
in the temperature range 1.5 < T < 135 K. High resolution diffraction is
carried out at T = 1.5 K and ambient pressure on ice XII and accurate
structural properties are obtained from Rietveld refinement. At T = 140 and 160
K additionally ice III/IX is formed. The increasing amount of ice III/IX with
increasing temperature gives an upper limit of T ~ 150 K for the successful
formation of ice XII with the presented procedure.Comment: 3 Pages of RevTeX, 3 tables, 3 figures (submitted to Physical Review

Large electroweak penguin contribution in B -> K pi and pi pi decay modes
We discuss about a possibility of large electroweak penguin contribution in B
-> K pi and pi pi from recent experimental data. The experimental data may be
suggesting that there are some discrepancies between the data and theoretical
estimation in the branching ratios of them. In B -> K pi decays, to explain it,
a large electroweak penguin contribution and large strong phase differences
seem to be needed. The contributions should appear also in B -> pi pi. We show,
as an example, a solution to solve the discrepancies in both B -> K pi and B ->
pi pi. However the magnitude of the parameters and the strong phase estimated
from experimental data are quite large compared with the theoretical
estimations. It may be suggesting some new physics effects are including in
these processes. We will have to discuss about the dependence of the new
physics. To explain both modes at once, we may need large electroweak penguin
contribution with new weak phases and some SU(3) breaking effects by new
physics in both QCD and electroweak penguin type processes.Comment: 23 pages, 9 figure
