We construct a kink solution on a non-BPS D-brane using Berkovits' formulation of superstring field theory in the level truncation scheme. The tension of the kink reproduces 95% of the expected BPS D-brane tension. We also find a lump-like solution which is interpreted as a kink-antikink pair, and investigate some of its properties. These results may be considered as successful tests of Berkovits' superstring field theory combined with the modified level truncation scheme.

The accuracy of the phase envelope calculated for a black oil sample strongly depends upon the quality and type of information used to optimize the equation of state (EOS). Possible inputs for EOS tuning include (but is not limited to) composition from a chromatogram or optical absorbance, density, saturation pressure (bubble or dew point pressure), and the relative volumes of liquid and gas. In this manuscript, we describe a workflow using a system of microsensors that our group has previously published that accurately measures fluid properties from which the phase envelopes of several black oil samples are calculated and refined.
