Tidal interactions between planets and stars
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsSelwyn College, 2011-06-07)
Since the first discovery of an extrasolar planet around a solar-type star, observers
have detected over 500 planets outside the solar system. Many of these planets have
Jovian masses and orbit their host stars in orbits ...
The application of automated perturbation theory to lattice QCD
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsTrinity College, 2011-11-08)
Predictions of heavy quark parameters are an integral component of precision
tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. Experimental measurements
of electroweak processes involving heavy hadrons provide stringent ...
Spiky strings and the AdS/CFT correspondence
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2011-10-11)
In this dissertation, we explore some aspects of semiclassical type IIB string
theory on AdS3 × S1 and on pure AdS3 in the limit of large angular momentum
S.
We first focus on the integrability technique known as ...
A simple Bayesian estimate of direct RNAi gene regulation events from differential gene expression profiles
(2011-05-20)
Abstract Background Microarrays are commonly used to investigate both the therapeutic potential and functional effects of RNA interfering (RNAi) oligonucleotides such as microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA). ...
