Electromagnetic duality has been utilized to study the isocolor charge-dyon interactions in Restricted Quantum Chromodynamics (RCD),in terms of current-current correlation (in magnetic gauge)using dielectric and permeability parameters of the associated vacuum. In the state of dyonic superconductivity, it has been shown that the dual propagators behave as 1/k4 (for small k2), which in analogy with superconductivity (dual superconductivity) leads to the confinement of colored fluxes associated with dyonic quarks vide generalized Meissner effect. Based on semi-quantitative analysis of vortex solutions of RCD and by calculating the masses for the massive collective modes of the condensed vacuum, the expressions for the London penetration depth, coherence length and the associated flux energy functions for the type I and type II superconducting media have been obtained. It has further been demonstrated that in the type I medium, vortices tend to coalesce and hence are attractive, while the energy function supports repulsive forces between vortices in the type II superconducting medium. The RCD has been supersymmetrized in N =1 limit and the supersymmetric dyonic solutions have been obtained. In the dyonic background gauge one-loop quantum corrections to the dyonic mass have been calculated and it has been shown that the one-loop quantum corrections lead no change in classical mass of the dyon.

We review critical physics affecting the observational characteristics of those supernovae that occur in massive stars. Particular emphasis is given to 1) how mass loss, either to a binary companion or by a radiatively driven wind, affects the type and light curve of the supernova, and 2) the interaction of the outgoing supernova shock with regions of increasing pr3 in the stellar mantle. One conclusion is that Type II-L supernovae may occur in mass exchanging binaries very similar to the one that produced SN 1993J, but with slightly larger initial separations and residual hydrogen envelopes (∼1 Mʘ and radius ∼ several AU). The shock interaction, on the other hand, has important implications for the formation of black holes in explosions that are, near peak light, observationally indistinguishable from ordinary Type II-p and lb supernovae.

Abstract In this note, we study the Swampland Distance Conjecture in TCS G2 manifold compactifications of M-theory. In particular, we are interested in testing a refined version — the Emergent String Conjecture, in settings with 4d N = 1 supersymmetry. We find that a weakly coupled, tensionless fundamental heterotic string does emerge at the infinite distance limit characterized by shrinking the K3-fiber in a TCS G2 manifold. Such a fundamental tensionless string leads to the parametrically leading infinite tower of asymptotically massless states, which is in line with the Emergent String Conjecture. The tensionless string, however, receives quantum corrections. We check that these quantum corrections do modify the volume of the shrinking K3-fiber via string duality and hence make the string regain a non-vanishing tension at the quantum level, leading to a decompactification. Geometrically, the quantum corrections modify the metric of the classical moduli space and are expected to obstruct the infinite distance limit. We also comment on another possible type of infinite distance limit in TCS G2 compactifications, which might lead to a weakly coupled fundamental type II string theory.

We consider circular spinning string solutions in AdS5×T1, 1 and calculate the quantum corrections to the energy at one-loop on worldsheet. The fluctuations are given as a set of harmonic oscillators and we calculate their normal mode frequency in closed form. The sum of frequency is equal to the one-loop string energy, which through AdS/CFT correspondence corresponds to the leading order correction of the conformal dimension for long operators in Klebanov–Witten conifold gauge field theory.

We study the cohomological physics of fivebranes in type II and heterotic string theory. We give an interpretation of the one-loop term in type IIA, which involves the first and second Pontrjagin classes of spacetime, in terms of obstructions to having bundles with certain structure groups. Using a generalization of the Green–Schwarz anomaly cancellation in heterotic string theory which demands the target space to have a String structure, we observe that the "magnetic dual" version of the anomaly cancellation condition can be read as a higher analog of String structure, which we call Fivebrane structure. This involves lifts of orthogonal and unitary structures through higher connected covers which are not just 3- but even 7-connected. We discuss the topological obstructions to the existence of Fivebrane structures. The dual version of the anomaly cancellation points to a relation of string and Fivebrane structures under electric-magnetic duality.

In a previous article, the authors discuss the importance of the effect size and the Type II error as factors in determining the sample size (Hinkle and Oliver, 1983). Tables were developed and presented for one-factor designs with k levels (2 ≤ k ≤ 8). However, between the time the article was submitted and its publication, the authors presented these tables at several national and regional meetings. A recurring question from colleagues attending these meetings was how these tables could be used for the one-sample case ( k = 1). Since they could not be, we were encouraged to develop comparable tables for the one-sample case. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to readdress the sample size question and to present these tables.

Abstract. The charge heterogeneity of an LH preparation containing relatively acidic components (LH Type I) was studied. Four biological active components, with pI-values of 5.04, 5.60, 6.06 and 6.57 were detected. A total of four different α-subunits, with pI-values of 4.49, 4.79, 5.16 and 6.02 could be detected after incubation at 37°C. With the exception of the most acidic component all these α-subunits were also present in earlier studied LH Type II preparations. After neuraminidase treatment a strong shift to more basic components was observed, resulting in a population of components similar to the one detected in LH Type II preparations. The β-subunits detected were very different from those observed in Type II preparations. All six components detected had pI-values < 7.5. Upon incubation at 56°C these subunits appeared to be unstable resulting in a shift to more basic pI-values, these pI-values being very similar to those of β-subunits observed before in Type II preparations. After neuraminidase treatment, the pH values of the population of β-subunits became identical to those of the population in LH Type II. From these results it is concluded that the major charge difference between LH Type I and Type II is located in the β-subunits. This difference cannot be explained completely by differences in sialic acid content, but may also be due to heat labile charged groups such as sulphate.

We review recent developments in the construction of heterotic and type II string field theories and their various applications. These include systematic procedures for determining the shifts in the vacuum expectation values of fields under quantum corrections, computing renormalized masses and S-matrix of the theory around the shifted vacuum and a proof of unitarity of the S-matrix. The S-matrix computed this way is free from all divergences when there are more than 4 noncompact space–time dimensions, but suffers from the usual infrared divergences when the number of noncompact space–time dimensions is 4 or less.

<p>Research studies have shown that recasts are one of the types of corrective feedback frequently used by teachers in second language teaching. However, little is known about the effectiveness of recasts in second language teaching within Indonesian context since most Interactional Approach studies conducted with Indonesian context focus on corrective feedback in general, not particularly on recasts. Moreover, most of these studies do not include past forms as the language feature being studied. The current study investigated the use of recasts in yielding students’ uptake in past forms (Verb type II). 5 participants were involved in the study. Pairing with the examiner, each participant engaged in a jigsaw-task activity where they received recasts. The recast episodes produced by each participant were analyzed and coded into some categories, which were “repair”, “needs-repair : acknowledgement”, “needs-repair : modified”, “needs-repair : unmodified”, and “no uptake”. The result showed that the uptake which was mostly produced by participants was “needs-repair : acknowledgement”. This finding contradicts the one in the previous study which showed that the uptake that was most frequently produced by the participants was “repair”. The finding of this study is expected to trigger further studies to examine students’ perception towards recasts that leads to the ineffectiveness of it.<strong></strong></p><strong>Keywords: </strong> corrective feedback; recast; past forms; speaking skills
