Stress field and spin axis relaxation for inelastic triaxial ellipsoids [PDF]

, 2012
A compact formula for the stress tensor inside a self-gravitating, triaxial ellipsoid in an arbitrary rotation state is given. It contains no singularity in the incompressible medium limit.

Distribution of virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance genes and phylogenetic relatedness among Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli serogroup O91 from human infections

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2021
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) belonging to the serogroup O91 are among the most common non-O157 STEC serogroups associated with human illness in Europe. This study aimed to analyse the virulence factors, antimicrobial resistance genes and

Resistance to Wheat Curl Mite in Arthropod-Resistant Rye-Wheat Translocation Lines

Agronomy, 2017
The wheat curl mite, Aceria toschiella (Keifer), and a complex of viruses vectored by A. toschiella substantially reduce wheat yields in every wheat-producing continent in the world. The development of A.

Toward the M(F)--Theory Embedding of Realistic Free-Fermion Models [PDF]

, 1998
We construct a Landau-Ginzburg model with the same data and symmetries as a $Z_2\times Z_2$ orbifold that corresponds to a class of realistic free-fermion models. Within the class of interest, we show that this orbifolding connects between different $Z_2\

Nucleon Form Factors and Distribution Amplitudes in QCD [PDF]

, 2013
We derive light-cone sum rules for the electromagnetic nucleon form factors including the next-to-leading-order corrections for the contribution of twist-three and twist-four operators and a consistent treatment of the nucleon mass corrections.

The 24-Cell and Calabi-Yau Threefolds with Hodge Numbers (1,1) [PDF]

, 2011
Calabi-Yau threefolds with h^11(X)=h^21(X)=1 are constructed as free quotients of a hypersurface in the ambient toric variety defined by the 24-cell. Their fundamental groups are SL(2,3), a semidirect product of Z_3 and Z_8, and Z_3 x Q_8.Comment: 22 ...

Experimental Evidence on Transfer Pricing

International Journal of Management and Economics, 2016
We use incentivized economics experiments to test both the point predictions and comparative static predictions of optimal transfer pricing models, comparing behavior under varying conditions, including wholly versus partially-owned subsidiaries and ...
