A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Extracting Boer-Mulders functions from p+D Drell-Yan processes
No full textWe extract the Boer- Mulders functions of valence and sea quarks in the proton from unpolarized p + D Drell- Yan data measured by the FNAL E866 Collaboration. Using these Boer- Mulders functions, we calculate the cos2 phi asymmetries in unpolarized pp Drell- Yan processes, both for the FNAL E866/ NuSea and the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider experiments. We also estimate the cos2 phi asymmetries in the unpolarized p (P) over bar Drell- Yan processes at GSI.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)37ARTICLE5null7
Transcendence degree in power series rings
No full textLet D[[X]] be the ring of formal power series over the commutative integral domain D. Gilmer has shown that if K is the quotient field of D, then D[[X]] and K[[X]] have the same quotient field if and only if K[[X]] ~ D[[X]]D_(O). Further, if a is any nonzero element of D, Sheldon has shown that either D[l/a][[X]] and D[[X]] have the same quotient field, or the quotient field of D[l/a][[X]] has infinite transcendence degree over the quotient field of D[[X]]. In this paper, the relationship between D[[X]] and J[[X]] is investigated for an arbitrary overring J of D. If D is integrally closed, it is shown that either J[[X]] and D[[X]] have the same quotient field, or the quotient field of J[[X]] has infinite transcendence degree over the quotient field of D[[X]]. It is shown further, that D is completely integrally closed if and only if the quotient field of J[[X]] has infinite transcendence degree over the quotient field of D[[X]] for each proper overring J of D. Several related results are given; for example, if D is Noetherian, and if J is a finite ring extension of D, then either J[[X]] and D[[X]] have the same quotient field or the quotient field of J[[X]] has infinite transcendence degree over the quotient field of D[[X]]. An example is given to show that if D is not integrally closed, J[[X]] may be algebraic over D[[X]] while J[[X]] and ~[[X]] have dif~erent quotient fields.Ph. D
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Photoproduction of D Mesons
No full textPreliminary results are presented using the Wide Band photon beam at Fermilab
to measure the cross-section of D*+/- and D+/- photoproduction on a Be target over the
photon enera rsngs from 100 GeV to 350 GeV. Preliminary results are also presented
on the xF and pT2 distributions and the ratios of D0/D*+ and D*-/D*+. The energy
dependence of the total open charm cross-section of photoproduction was compared
with the predictions by the photon-gluon fusion model and a higher order QCD radiative
correction based on perturbative QCD. The prediction by the QCD radiative
correction with Mc = 1.5GeV agrees well with the observed data within the theoretical
uncertainties of the QCD parameters
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth 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.
Discontinuous molecular dynamics for semiflexible and rigid bodies
No full textA general framework for performing event-driven simulations of systems with semiflexible or rigid bodies interacting under impulsive forces is outlined. The method consists of specifying a means of computing the free evolution of constrained motion, evaluating the times at which interactions occur, and determining the consequences of interactions on subsequent motion. Algorithms for computing the times of interaction events and carrying out efficient event-driven simulations are discussed. The semiflexible case and the rigid case differ qualitatively in that the free motion of a rigid body can be computed analytically and need not be integrated numerically.
