Asymmetric alumina membranes electrochemically formed in oxalic acid solution
Alumina membranes were fabricated by anodizing aluminium metal in 0.15 M oxalic acid. The growth kinetics of the porous layer were investigated in the temperature range −1 to 16 °C using linear potential scans...

Dark Matter in SUSY
We investigate the discovery capabilities of current experiments of direct search for WIMPs, when their results are analyzed in terms of relic neutralinos. We point out which are the main astrophysical and par...

Combining Information from Direct and Indirect Searches for WIMPs
Present results of WIMP search experiments are discussed in the light of an interpretation in terms of relic neutralinos. The set of susy configurations, which are compatible with an annual-modulation effect r...

Toward non-intrusive motion capture
Shape-from-silhouettes, a simple approach to 3D shape understanding, can also be used for recovering posture and motion of human bodies. Silhouettes are easy to obtain from intensity images, do not require for...

Porous Pt/γ-Al2O3 catalytic membrane reactors prepared using mesitylene solvated Pt atoms
The opportunity of using mesitylene solvated Pt atoms for the deposition of Pt catalyst on inorganic membranes is shown. The catalytic activity of the membrane reactor has been tested using the hydrogenation o...

Neutron-antineutron oscillation of ultracold neutrons in storage vessels
If neutron-antineutron oscillations exist in nature, UC neutrons, confined in a storage box, may develop a tiny component of antineutrons that eventually annihilate inside the confining walls. The annihilation...

Scaling properties of double-beta-decay amplitudes
The calculation of the neutrinoless double-beta-decay amplitudes in terms of nuclear form factors is extended to theV+A contribution for the 0+→1+→0+ transitions and to them v term for the 0+→2−→0+ processes. Sca...

Calculation of double beta-decay rates using nuclear form factors
Double beta-decay rates with and without two neutrinos are calculated for several nuclei by expressing the weak hadronic currents in terms of nuclear form factors which in turn are evaluated by use of the data...

ΔB=2 processes in finite nuclei
Baryon-number-violating processes with ΔB=2, predicted by grand (or partial) unified theories, are analysed in this paper in a phenomenological approach. The new experimental limits on nuclear instability, obtain...

Effective strong-coupling constant for timelikeQ 2 and charmonium decays
The charmonium decay problem is re-examined by using effective strong-coupling constant for timelikeQ 2, analytically continued from that for spacelikeQ 2. Some discrepancies between theory and experiment are not...

Mixing angles of leptons in an extended weinberg-salam model
In this paper we critically discuss to what extent recent experimental data on νμ processes exclude the existence of nonsequential heavy leptons. The analysis is based on a specific model, whose leptonic sector c...

Relation between the strutinsky method and the statistical approach for shell correction energies
Generalizing a result of Bhaduri and Das Gupta, it is shown that the Strutinsky averaging method and the statistical method for evaluating the shell corrections to nuclear binding energies are analytically equ...
