Reprint of: RRKM reaction rate theory for transition states of any looseness
Abstract Unimolecular rate theory for various types of reactions is implemented for any looseness of transition state. Quantum states are counted for all but the “transitional” modes, their phase space being counted via Monte Carlo sampling. The...

Voyager observations of the interaction of the heliosphere with the interstellar medium
Abstract This paper provides a brief review and update on the Voyager observations of the interaction of the heliosphere with the interstellar medium. Voyager has found many surprises: (1) a new energetic particle component which is accelerated at...

Set-level threshold-free tests on the intrinsic volumes of SPMs
Abstract Conventionally, set-level inference on statistical parametric maps (SPMs) is based on the topological features of an excursion set above some threshold—for example, the number of clusters or Euler characteristic. The expected Euler...

CosmoHammer: Cosmological parameter estimation with the MCMC Hammer
Abstract We study the benefits and limits of parallelised Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling in cosmology. MCMC methods are widely used for the estimation of cosmological parameters from a given set of observations and are typically based on...

A general method for diagonal peak suppression in homonuclear correlated NMR spectra by spatially and frequency selective pulses
Abstract Homonuclear two- and multidimensional NMR spectra are standard experiments for the structure determination of small to medium-sized molecules. In the large majority of homonuclear correlated spectra the diagonal contains the most intense...

Characterization of 45° Micromirrors Fabricated by Silicon Anisotropic Etching in Solutions Containing Different Organic Additives
Abstract The possibility of fabrication of micromirrors inclined towards silicon substrate at 45̊ is studied. The 45̊ micromirrors are formed by {110} sidewall planes in the Si (100) wafer by anisotropic etching in alkaline solutions containing...

Technically natural cosmological constant from supersymmetric 6D brane backreaction
Abstract We provide an explicit example of a higher-dimensional model describing a non-supersymmetric spectrum of 4D particles of mass M, whose 4D geometry – including loop effects – has a curvature that is of order ...

Θ+ in a chiral constituent quark model and its interpolating fields
Abstract The recently discovered pentaquark Θ + is described within the chiral constituent quark model. Within this picture the flavor-spin interaction between valence quarks inverts the (1s)4 and (1s)3(1p) levels of the...

Probing the mechanism of EWSB with a rho-parameter defined in terms of Higgs couplings
Abstract A definition of the rho-parameter based on the Higgs couplings with the gauge bosons, ρ H i ≡g ...

Neutrino masses, mixing and hierarchy
Abstract We build a model to describe neutrinos based on strict hierarchy, incorporating as much as possible, the latest known data, for Δ sol and Δ atm, and for the mixing angles determined from neutrino...

Measurements of anisotropic scintillation efficiency for carbon recoils in a stilbene crystal for dark matter detection
Abstract It is known that scintillation efficiency of organic single crystals depends on the direction of nuclear recoils relative to crystallographic axes. This property could be applied to the directional WIMP dark matter detector. ...

Specific ion effects and the phase diagram of lysozyme
Abstract The phase diagram for lysozyme is calculated for the precipitant salt NaCl using a potential of mean force that takes into account contributions from ion-dispersion forces (J. Phys. Chem. B 110 24757). In contrast to the perturbation theory ...
