Encoding folding paths of RNA switches

A. Xayaphoummine, V. Viasnoff, S. Harlepp +1

RNA co-transcriptional folding has long been suspected to play an active role in helping proper native folding of ribozymes and structured regulatory motifs in mRNA untranslated re…

An application of renormalization in Hilbert space at phase transition points in strongly interacting systems

Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert

We introduce an algorithm aimed to reduce the dimensions of Hilbert space. It is used here in order to study the behaviour of low energy states of strongly interacting quantum many…

Modification of streaming potential by precipitation of calcite in a sand-water system: laboratory measurements pH range from 4 to 12

Xavier Guichet, Laurence Jouniaux, Nicole Catel

Spontaneous Potentials associated with volcanic activity are often interpreted by means of the electrokinetic potential, which is usually positive in the flow direction (i.e. Zeta…

Measurement of double beta decay of 100Mo to excited states in the NEMO 3 experiment

R. Arnold, C. Augier, J. Baker +51

The double beta decay of 100Mo to the 0^+_1 and 2^+_1 excited states of 100Ru is studied using the NEMO 3 data. After the analysis of 8024 h of data the half-life for the two-neutr…

Para-Grassmann Variables and Coherent States

Daniel C. Cabra, Enrique F. Moreno, Adrian Tanasa

The definitions of para-Grassmann variables and q-oscillator algebras are recalled. Some new properties are given. We then introduce appropriate coherent states as well as their du…

Excitations with fractional spin less than 1/2 in frustrated magnetoelastic chains

C. J. Gazza, A. O. Dobry, D. C. Cabra +1

We study the magnetic excitations on top of the plateaux states recently discovered in spin-Peierls systems in a magnetic field. We show by means of extensive density matrix renorm…

Studies of Neutron Stars at Optical/IR Wavelengths

R. P. Mignani, S. Bagnulo, A. De Luca +7

In the last years, optical studies of Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs) have expanded from the more classical rotation-powered ones to other categories, like the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar…

Discovery and analysis of three faint dwarf galaxies and a globular cluster in the outer halo of the Andromeda galaxy

N. F. Martin, R. A. Ibata, M. J. Irwin +5

We present the discovery of three faint dwarf galaxies and a globular cluster in the halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31), found in our MegaCam survey that spans the southern quadran…

Gaussian Statistics of Fracture Surfaces

Stéphane Santucci, Joachim Mathiesen, Knut Jørgen Måløy +6

We analyse the statistical distribution function for the height fluctuations of brittle fracture surfaces using extensive experimental data sampled on widely different materials an…

The shape and erosion of pebbles

D. J. Durian, H. Bideaud, P. Duringer +2

The shapes of flat pebbles may be characterized in terms of the statistical distribution of curvatures measured along their contours. We illustrate this new method for clay pebbles…

What is in a pebble shape?

D. J. Durian, H. Bideaud, P. Duringer +3

We propose to characterize the shapes of flat pebbles in terms of the statistical distribution of curvatures measured along the pebble contour. This is demonstrated for the erosion…

Application of a renormalization algorithm in Hilbert space to the study of many-body quantum systems

Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert

We implement an algorithm which is aimed to reduce the number of basis states spanning the Hilbert space of quantum many-body systems. We test the efficiency of the procedure by wo…

The nucleon axial-vector coupling beyond one loop

Véronique Bernard, Ulf-G. Meißner

We analyze the nucleon axial-vector coupling to two loops in chiral perturbation theory. We show that chiral extrapolations based on this representation require lattice data with p…
