Design and Characterization of an Ultrasonic Surgical Tool Using d31 PMN-PT Plate
AbstractAn ultrasonic surgical tool for tissue incision and dissection has been designed and characterized. The surgical tool is based on a simple geometry to which PMN-PT d31 plates are bonded directly. The performance of the surgical tool has been defined numerically with the Abaqus finite element analysis (FEA) package and practically with laser ...

Rephasing invariance and neutrino mixing
A rephasing invariant parametrization is introduced for three flavor neutrino mixing. For neutrino propagation in matter, these parameters are shown to obey evolution equations as functions of the induced neutrino mass.

Abundance analysis of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi (2006 outburst)
We present an analysis of elemental abundances of ejecta of the recurrent nova RS Oph using published optical and near-infrared spectra during the 2006 outburst.

J/\psi dissociation cross sections in a relativistic quark model
We calculate the amplitudes and the cross sections of the charm dissociation processes J/\psi \pi => D \bar D, D* \bar D, D \bar D*, D* \bar D* within a relativistic constituent quark model.

On the existence of branched coverings between surfaces with prescribed branch data, II
For a given branched covering between closed connected surfaces, there are several easy relations one can establish between the Euler characteristics of the surfaces, their orientability, the total degree, and the local degrees at the branching points ...

Piezoelectric properties of graphene oxide from the first-principles calculations [PDF]
Some highly ordered compounds of graphene oxide (GO), e.g., the so-called clamped and unzipped GO, are shown to have piezoelectric responses via first-principles density functional calculations. By applying an electric field perpendicular to the GO basal plane, the largest value of in-plane strain and strain piezoelectric coefficient, d31 are found to ...

Conformal Invariance = Finiteness and Beta Deformed N=4 SYM Theory
We claim that if by a choice of the couplings the theory can be made conformally invariant (vanishing of the beta functions) it is automatically finite and vice versa. This is demonstrated by explicit example in supersymmetric gauge theory. The formalism

The Wage Premium of Communist Party Membership: Evidence from China [PDF]
Social status and political connections could confer large economic benefits to an individual. Previous studies focused on China examine the relationship between Communist party membership and earnings and find a positive correlation. However, this correlation may be partly or totally spurious, thereby generating upwards-biased estimates of the ...

DHA Alters Raft-like Membrane Domains as Revealed by Solid State 2H NMR Spectroscopy [PDF]
poster abstractDietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6), are correlated with the prevention of neurological and autoimmune disorders in humans.

In this paper, we extend the formal definition of topological surgery by introducing new notions in order to model natural phenomena exhibiting it. On the one hand, the common features of the presented natural processes are captured by our schematic ...
