    Electromagnetic Form Factors of Nucleons with QCD Constraints Sytematic Study of the Space and Time-like Regions

    Full text link
    Elastic electromagnetic form factors of nucleons are investigated both for the time-like and the space-like momentums under the condition that the QCD constraints are satisfied asymptotically. The unsubtracted dispersion relation with the superconvergence conditions are used as a realization of the QCD conditions. The experimental data are analyzed by using the dispersion formula and it is shown that the calculated form factors reproduce the experimental data reasonably well.Comment: 14 page

    File fish, Monacanthus cirrhifer, juveniles with initial mean body weight of 0.27g were fed purified diets with or without calcium (Ca) supplement for 10 weeks at a water temperature of 27.0±1.4°C. Growth was significantly low in fish fed diet without Ca supplement than fish fed diet with Ca supplement. Feed efficiency and condition of fish were also significantly decreased in absence of a dietary Ca supplementation, Minerals contents of bone were similar in both the treatment groups and did not appear as a suitable indicator of Ca requirement. It appeared that Ca supplement to the purified diet is necessary for file fish for their proper growth and feed utilization

    Quantum mutual entropy for Jaynes-Cummings model

    Get PDF
    The dynamics of an atom on the Jaynes-Cummings model has been studied by an atomic inversion, von Neumann entropy and so on. In this letter, we will treat the Jaynes-Cummings model as a problem in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics and apply quantum mutual entropy to study the irreversible dynamics of a state for the atom on this model.Comment: RevTeX, 4 pages with a figure(eps file), submitted to Physical Review Letter

    Partial separability revisited: Necessary and sufficient criteria

    Full text link
    We extend the classification of mixed states of quantum systems composed of arbitrary number of subsystems of arbitrary dimensions. This extended classification is complete in the sense of partial separability and gives 1+18+1 partial separability classes in the tripartite case contrary to a former 1+8+1. Then we give necessary and sufficient criteria for these classes, which make it possible to determine to which class a mixed state belongs. These criteria are given by convex roof extensions of functions defined on pure states. In the special case of three-qubit systems, we define a different set of such functions with the help of the Freudenthal triple system approach of three-qubit entanglement.Comment: v3: 22 pages, 5 tables, 1 figure, minor corrections (typos), clarification in the Introduction.

    Possibility of enrichment of rotifer (Brachionus rotondiformis) with calcium (Ca) for feeding the fish fry was investigated. Rotifer was kept for 24 h with aeration in normal seawater (Treatment 1), seawater with 400 mg/l supplemental Ca from Ca-lactate (Treatment 2) and seawater with 400 mg/l supplemental Ca from Ca-chloride (Treatment 3). After the experimental period, Ca contents of rotifer were 0.20, 0.29 and 0.39% of dry weight in T-1, T-2 and T-3, respectively. Ca content of media did not affect phosphorus, zinc and manganese contents of rotifer. Results revealed that rotifer can be enriched with Ca for feeding fish fry and Ca-chloride might be a better source for Ca enrichment

    Fundamental properties of Tsallis relative entropy

    Get PDF
    Fundamental properties for the Tsallis relative entropy in both classical and quantum systems are studied. As one of our main results, we give the parametric extension of the trace inequality between the quantum relative entropy and the minus of the trace of the relative operator entropy given by Hiai and Petz. The monotonicity of the quantum Tsallis relative entropy for the trace preserving completely positive linear map is also shown without the assumption that the density operators are invertible. The generalized Tsallis relative entropy is defined and its subadditivity is shown by its joint convexity. Moreover, the generalized Peierls-Bogoliubov inequality is also proven

    Unpeeling the layers of language: Bonobos and chimpanzees engage in cooperative turn-taking sequences

    Get PDF
    Human language is a fundamentally cooperative enterprise, embodying fast-paced and extended social interactions. It has been suggested that it evolved as part of a larger adaptation of humans’ species-unique forms of cooperation. Although our closest living relatives, bonobos and chimpanzees, show general cooperative abilities, their communicative interactions seem to lack the cooperative nature of human conversation. Here, we revisited this claim by conducting the first systematic comparison of communicative interactions in mother-infant dyads living in two different communities of bonobos (LuiKotale, DRC; Wamba, DRC) and chimpanzees (Taï South, Côte d’Ivoire; Kanyawara, Uganda) in the wild. Focusing on the communicative function of joint-travel-initiation, we applied parameters of conversation analysis to gestural exchanges between mothers and infants. Results showed that communicative exchanges in both species resemble cooperative turn-taking sequences in human conversation. While bonobos consistently addressed the recipient via gaze before signal initiation and used so-called overlapping responses, chimpanzees engaged in more extended negotiations, involving frequent response waiting and gestural sequences. Our results thus strengthen the hypothesis that interactional intelligence paved the way to the cooperative endeavour of human language and suggest that social matrices highly impact upon communication styles
