TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the mixing is strongly suppressed in the Standard Model and is smaller than the current experimental upper bound, which indicates the existence of a new physics beyond the standard model.
Abstract: It is shown that the\(D^0 - \bar D^0 \) mixing is strongly suppressed in the Standard Model and is smaller by several orders of magnitude than the current experimental upper-bound. The detection of a stronger\(D^0 - \bar D^0 \) mixing in the future experiments might indicate the existence of a new physics beyond the Standard Model. As an example, it is shown that in a class of simple super-symmetric theories\(D^0 - \bar D^0 \) mixing could be substantially larger than the Standard Model prediction. If on the other hand the Standard Model prediction is confirmed by future experiments that will require that the super-symmetric extension of the standard model should have a much larger SUSY breaking scale than that indicated by the phenomenology of the neutral kaon system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a low-loss splicing method, based on discharge fusion of optical fibers by a simple apparatus and by applying pressure between fibers before fusion, was developed for better end preparation having low initial alignment losses at critical pressure and temperature.
Abstract: A low-loss splicing method, based on discharge fusion of optical fibers by a simple apparatus and by applying pressure between fibers before fusion, was developed. Average splice losses of about 0.07 and 0.15 dB for single-mode (SM) fibers having core diameters of 10 and 7μm, respectively, and 0.02 dB for 50-μm core diameter graded-index (GI) fibers are obtained. Fusion loss and fusion time are obtained minimum for better end preparation having low initial alignment losses at critical pressure and temperature. Mathematical expressions for the variation of fusion time and splice loss with effect of applied pressure between the fibers, for different practical axis alignment, showing the optimum condition to have minimum splice loss are made. Experimental fusion losses are analyzed in terms of residual misalignment of off axis, angular tilt of the fibers during aligning, and air gaps in the splicing zone. Optimum fusion time is obtained by considering the forces due to applied pressure, thermal expansion, and surface tension in the viscous melted glass of the fiber. Theoretical curves of fusion times and splicing losses versus applied pressure agree with the experimental results. The decrease of fusion time to about 1.3 times and splice loss to about two times were found when applied pressure is varried from low to its critical value of 20-25 g. The splice losses are found at a minimum for the operating temperature range of 1980°C to 2140°C for silica fibers. Experimental results of the histogram of bar chart of splice losses agree with the derived mathematical expressions assuming a statistical distribution function of splice losses.

TL;DR: On montre que le probleme inverse correspondant a une condition aux limites periodiques est defini sur une surface de Riemann avec une differentielle abelienne proprement definie.
Abstract: The periodic ``soliton'' solutions of the mixed nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation are analyzed following a method advocated by Date. The inverse problem corresponding to a periodic boundary condition is shown to be defined on a Riemann surface, with a properly defined Abelian differential. The general solution corresponding to the n zone is given in terms of the Riemann theta function.

TL;DR: Streptomyceskanamyceticus produces a significant level of intracellular glucose isomerase when grown in submerged culture, and treatment of cells with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide extracts almost the same amount of the enzyme as ultrasonic treatment.
Abstract: Streptomyceskanamyceticus produces a significant level of intracellular glucose isomerase when grown in submerged culture. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity is 90°C, but the optimum pH is changed by the kinds of buffer solution used. The activity is higher at pH 7.0–9.5. Treatment of cells with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide extracts almost the same amount of the enzyme as ultrasonic treatment. The selection of the method of treatment for enzyme extraction depends, however, on the nature of cell growth in synthetic or complex medium.

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt has been made to consider the thermal effect on the transverse vibration of a high-speed rotating disk in a steady-state heat conduction and a new critical speed of disk rotation has been obtained and consequently this critical speed is found to depend on central temperature, thermomechanical anisotropy, and so forth.
Abstract: An attempt has been made to consider the thermal effect on the transverse vibration of a high-speed rotating disk in a steady-state heat conduction. The material of the disk, in this case, is assumed to be thermomechanically anisotropic. The present attempt is made with an objective to provide some theoretical studies on the problem that may serve as a base from which more detailed investigations with regard to the usage of composite material may be attempted to gain new andneeded design information regarding turbine disks and thereby to reduce the chances of turbine failure. In this connection a new critical speed of disk rotation has been obtained and consequently this critical speed is found to depend on central temperature, thermomechanical anisotropy, and so forth. 19 references.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple, sensitive and selective method for the determination of trace amounts of the metal in 50% ethanolic medium was developed for the analysis of synthetic mixtures with 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyltriazene-Noxide.
Abstract: The fact that niobium gives orange fluorescence (λ ex max 570, λ em max 540 nm) in both acid and alkali media with 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyltriazene-N-oxide, has been exploited to develop a simple, sensitive and selective method for the determination of trace amounts of the metal in 50% ethanolic medium. Measurements are made at the pH range of 3.2–5.0. Fluorescence intensity attains the maximum value after 45 min of standing and remains almost unchanged after 24 h. Calibration graph maintains linearity from 50 ppb to 2.2 ppm of the metal. Forty cations and anions are without any effect on the fluorimetric determination of niobium(V). The method has been applied to the analysis of synthetic mixtures.

TL;DR: In this article, the atomic scattering factor fh for elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation depends strongly on electronic charge distribution n(r) in the atom, and it has been shown that the superposition of free-atom charge densities through Lowdin's α-expansion can help to find n r in a solid, which, in turn, yields a reasonable metallic cohesive energy and binary alloy formation energy.
Abstract: The atomic scattering factor fh for elastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation depends strongly on electronic charge distribution n(r) in the atom. Deviations of recently measured fh's from those calculated from free-atom electron states confirm the notion that n(r) gets appreciably modified in a solid. Recently it has been shown that the superposition of free-atom charge densities through Lowdin's α-expansion can help to find n (r) in a solid, which, in turn, yields a reasonable metallic cohesive energy and binary alloy formation energy. Here it is shown that the same procedure produces fh values that compare well with experiments as well as with more sophisticated band calculations.

Abstract: The consideration of two-body central forces cannot explain the correct ordering of dispersion branches in the I'KM direction in many h.c.p. metals. The importance of three-body forces in these metals is also indicated by the fact that for these metals the sum rule of Waren is not satisfied. Pseudopotential theory demonstrates that the total energy of a metal consists of an effective two-body central interaction and a purely volume dependent part. Starting from this basis, a model expression for the energy of a metal is developed. It is shown that the interpretation of the volume strain as the local strain, as demanded by the adiabatic hypothesis, leads to an effective three-body interaction between the ions. The model is applied to study the lattice dynamics of Mg and Be. It is found that the model predicts the correct ordering of the dispersion branches and fairly good agreement is obtained in the case of phonon frequencies and elastic data. Die Betrachtung von Zwei-Korper-Zentralkraften konnen nicht die richtige ordnung der Dispersionszweige in der I'KM-Richtung in vielen h. d.p. Metallen erklaren. Die Bedeutung von Dreikorperkraften in diesen Metallen wide auch durch die Tatsache deutlich, das fur diese Metalle die Summenregel von Waren nicht erfullt ist. Pseudopotentialtheorie demonstriert, das die Gesamtenergie eines Metalls aus einer effektiven Zwei-Korper-Zentralwechselwirkung und einem reinen volumenabhangigen Anteil besteht. Ausgehend von dieser Basis, wird ein Modellausdruck fur die Energie eines Metalls entwickelt. Es wird gezeigt, das die Interpretation der Volumen-Drei-Korper-Wechselwirkung zwischen den Ionen Fuhrt. Das Modell wird auf die Untersuchung der Gitterdynamik von Mg und Be angewendet. Es wird gefunden, das das Modell die richtige Ordnung des Dispersionszweigen vorhersagt und es wird eine befriedigend gute Ubereinstimmung fur die Phononenfrequenzen und elastischen Daten erhalten.

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of equilibrium attained with respect to oxygen during metamorphism of non-carbonatic manganiferous sediments and the nature of mobility of oxygen in rocks of adjacent beds by measuring the composition of coexisting phases were determined.
Abstract: This paper aims to ascertain the degree of equilibrium attained with respect to oxygen during metamorphism of non-carbonatic manganiferous sediments and the nature of mobility of oxygen in rocks of adjacent beds by measuring the composition of coexisting phases. Through algebraic analysis of the relevant phase equilibria, a difference of ≃17 kcal in \(u_{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}} } \) in rocks of adjacent beds is obtained. This confirms the immobile nature of oxygen during metamorphism of manganiferous sediments.
