On algebraic endomorphisms of the Einstein gyrogroup
We describe the structure of all continuous algebraic endomorphisms of the
open unit ball of equipped with the Einstein
velocity addition. We show that any nonzero such transformation originates from
an orthogonal linear transformation on
Preserving the measure of compatibility between quantum states
In this paper after defining the abstract concept of compatibility-like
functions on quantum states, we prove that every bijective transformation on
the set of all states which preserves such a function is implemented by an
either unitary or antiunitary operator.Comment: 11 pages, submitted for publicatio
Infection of cultured and freshwater fishes with monogeneans in Syria
During a survey made in 2004 and 2005 in Syrian fish farms of the Orontes valley and on natural water fishes harvested in the Orontes River and in Lake Assad (a water reservoir of the Euphrates River), 145 specimens of fish belonging to 15 fish species were examined for monogenean infections. Eleven monogenean species (8 Dactylogyrus spp., 1 Silurodiscoides sp. and 2 Cychlidogyrus spp.) were found in the gills. Monogeneans infecting farm-cultured fishes were the same as those commonly occurring in cyprinids (Dactylogyrus anchoratus, D. extensus, D. lamellatus) and filapia (Cychlidogyrus tilapiae, C. arthracan thus) cultured in Europe and in tropical countries. Among monogeneans found in fishes of natural waters, typical representatives of the Tigris-Euphrates Basin (Dactylogyrus carassobarbi, D. holciki) and species common in the Holoarctic zoogeographical zone (D. alatus, D. carpathicus, D. distinguendus and Silurodiscoides vistulensis) were equally found
Development of Myxobolus dispar (Myxosporea : Myxobolidae) in an oligochaete alternate host, Tubifex tubifex
The development of Myxobolus dispar Thelohan, 1895, a myxosporean parasite of the gills of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) was studied in experimentally infected oligochaetes Tubifex tubifex Muller. After infection of uninfected tubificids with mature spores of M. dispar development of actinosporean stages was first observed light microscopically 21 days after initial exposure. In histological sections, early pansporocysts were located in the gut epithelium of experimental oligochaetes, while advanced stages occupied mostly the outer layers of the gut and the coelozoic space. Mature pansporocysts, each containing 8 raabeia spores, appeared 199 days after initial exposure. Following damage of the intestinal wall and rupture of the pansporocysts, free actinosporean stages were found in the gut lumen of the oligochaetes. Actinospores of M. dispar emerged from the worms after 217 days of intra-oligochaete development. They were floating in the water and showed a unique raabeia form. Each raabeia sport had three pyriform polar capsules and a cylindrical-shaped sporoplasm with approximately 32 secondary cells. The spore body joined the three caudal projections without a style. Caudal projections were bifurcated at the end and the two main branches had further small bifurcations. The total length of the raabeia sport was approximately 158 mu m. The prevalence of infection in 240 experimentally infected Tubifex specimens was 99.2%. No infection was found in the control oligochaetes
Electrical Noise From Phase Separation In Pr2/3Ca1/3MnO3 Single Crystal
Low frequency electrical noise measurements have been used to probe the
electronic state of the perovskite-type manganese oxide Pr2/3Ca1/3MnO3 versus
temperature and in the vicinity of the field-induced transition from the
insulating, charge-ordered state (I-CO) to the metallic, ferromagnetic state
(M-F). At high temperature we have observed a high level of the excess noise
with mainly a gaussian distribution of the resistance fluctuations, and the
associated power spectral density has a standard 1/f dependence. However, in
the hysteretic region, where the electrical resistance depends dramatically on
the sample history, we have observed a huge non-gaussian noise characterized by
two level fluctuator-like switching (TLS) in the time domain. We discuss the
origin of the noise in terms of percolative behavior of the conductivity. We
speculate that the dominant fluctuators are manganese clusters switching
between the M-F and the I-CO phases.Comment: RevTeX, 6 pages with 3 figure
