. The spin-1 piece of the action turns out to be of Born-Infeld type, and the full superfield action is duality invariant. This leads us to conclude that the Goldstone multiplet can be associated with a D-brane solution of superstring theory for p = 3. In addition, we find that N = 1 chirality is preserved

Some state departments of transportation (DOTs) are currently collecting enhanced roadway and traffic data and using new decisionsupport tools in their safety management efforts. This article examines the value of these data and tools in terms of improved safety decisions and additional nonsafety benefits.

Cohen and Lenstra have given a heuristic which, for a fixed odd prime p, leads to many interesting predictions about the distribution of p-class groups of imaginary quadratic fields. We extend the Cohen-Lenstra heuristic to a non-abelian setting by considering, for each imaginary quadratic field K

organized the first international DoD workshops on photonic band-gap materials (1991), quantum cryptography and computing (1995), and the atom laser (1997). More recently I organized two workshops jointly sponsored by the DoD and NASA on quantum clock synchronization (2001) and quantum imaging and metrology (2003), as well as a

not detecting effects, and (b) were not related to the similarity of the treatments, indicating that more dissimilar treatments did not produce larger effects, as would be expected if the Dodo bird conjecture was false. The evidence from these analyses supports the conjecture that the efficacy of bona fide

In a previous lecture, we showed a zero-knowledge (ZK) proof system for the language of graph isomorphism. Our goal here is to show a ZK proof system for any language in N P. To do so, it suffices to show a ZK proof system Π for any N P-complete language L (note that graph isomorphism

abstract Bestrophins have recently been proposed to comprise a new family of Cl � channels. Our goal was to test whether mouse bestrophin-2 (mBest2) is a bona fide Cl � channel. We expressed mBest2 in three different mammalian cell lines. mBest2 was trafficked to the plasma membrane as shown

are shown to evolve into several stable solitary waves. 1. Introduction. The Benjamin--Bona--Mahony equation [1] is a model for unidirectional dispersive long waves with finite amplitude. It is a particular case of the generalized Benjamin--Bona--Mahony (gBBM) equation which is known to have solitary
