The Effects Of A Weak Alternating Magnetic Field On Glutamic Acid, Carston Work, Ben Pound Sep 2014

The Effects Of A Weak Alternating Magnetic Field On Glutamic Acid, Carston Work, Ben Pound

Ben Pound

There has been substantial research showing the effects of Extremely Low Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (ELF-EMF) on various properties of liquids, among the most notable being the acidity of a solution. ELF-EMFs have amplitudes typically measured on the scale of microteslas, and have frequencies comparable to the cyclotron frequency of the molecule its ionic form. It is hypothesized that the magnetic field changes the coordination of water, which in turn affects the pH of the solution. This is difficult to measure directly, but it can be measured by adding a molecule that can be detected by IR spectroscopy that is sensitive …

Three Bosons In One Dimension With Short-Range Interactions: Zero-Range Potentials, Nirav Mehta, James Shepard May 2014

Three Bosons In One Dimension With Short-Range Interactions: Zero-Range Potentials, Nirav Mehta, James Shepard

Nirav P Mehta

We consider the three-boson problem with δ-function interactions in one spatial dimension. Three different approaches are used to calculate the phase shifts, which we interpret in the context of the effective range expansion, for the scattering of one free particle off a bound pair. We first follow a procedure outlined by McGuire in order to obtain an analytic expression for the desired S-matrix element. This result is then compared to a variational calculation in the adiabatic hyperspherical representation, and to a numerical solution to the momentum-space Faddeev equations. We find excellent agreement with the exact phase shifts, and comment on …

Conformal Gravity Holography In Four Dimensions, Robert Mcnees Mar 2014

Conformal Gravity Holography In Four Dimensions, Robert Mcnees

Robert A McNees IV

We formulate four-dimensional conformal gravity with (anti–)de Sitter boundary conditions that are weaker than Starobinsky boundary conditions, allowing for an asymptotically subleading Rindler term concurrent with a recent model for gravity at large distances. We prove the consistency of the variational principle and derive the holographic response functions. One of them is the conformal gravity version of the Brown–York stress tensor, the other is a “partially massless response”. The on shell action and response functions are finite and do not require holographic renormalization. Finally, we discuss phenomenologically interesting examples, including the most general spherically symmetric solutions and rotating black hole …
