    This paper is a supplement of our earlier work [H.-Z. Chen, Y. Tian, Y.-H. Gao, and X.-C. Song, J. High Energy Phys. 10 (2004) 011.]. We map the vector potential of charged black holes into GEMS and find that its effect on the thermal spectrum is the same as that on the black hole side, i.e., it will induce a chemical potential in the thermal spectrum which is the same as that in the charged black holes. We also argue that the generalization of GEMS approach to nonstationary motions is not possible.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)0ARTICLE10null7

    INNOVATIVE PILLAR[6]ARENE-BASED STATIONARY PHASES FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSES

    No full text
    In this work, the synthesis, fabrication, and characterization of new stationary phases based on pillar[6]arene derivative modified by long alkyl chains (P6A-C10) for high-resolution gas chromatographic (GC) analyses are reported. Pillar[n]arenes are a new class of macrocyclic hosts that can accommodate specific guests due to their highly symmetrical and rigid pillar architectures with π-electron rich cavities. Quantum chemistry calculations have been performed, showing a difference in non-covalent interactions with the P6A-C10 pillar framework, which leads to specific selectivity for aromatic compounds. The GC columns prepared with these innovative stationary phases exhibited a medium polarity, and good reproducibility for run-to-run, day-to-day, and column-to-column analyses [1], demonstrating great potential as new stationary phases in separation science. Furthermore, peculiar advantages are achieved if compared with the commercial HP-5, HP-35, DB-17, and PEG-20M columns, showing unmatched resolving capabilities toward chloroaniline, bromoaniline, iodoaniline, toluidine, and xylene isomers [2].

    Charged bottomoniumlike states Z(b)(10610) and Z(b)(10650) and the Y(5S) -> Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-) decay

    Inspired by the newly observed two charged bottomoniumlike states, we consider the possible contribution from the intermediate Z(b)(10610) and Z(b)(10650) states to the Y(5S) -> Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-) decay process, which naturally explains Belle's previous observation of the anomalous Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-) production near the peak of Y(5S) at root s = 10: 87 GeV [K. F. Chen et al. (Belle Collaboration), Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 112001 (2008)]. The resulting d Gamma(Y(5S) -> Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-))/dm(pi+pi-) and d Gamma(Y(5S) -> Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-))/dcos theta distributions agree with Belle's measurement after inclusion of these Z(b) states. This formalism also reproduces the Belle observation of the double-peak structure and its reflection in the Y(2S)pi(+) invariant mass spectrum of the Y(5S) -> Y(2S)pi(+)pi(-) decay.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)0ARTICLE7null8

    "Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"

    Full text link
    Both spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
