“…The crucial observation is that for this specific rotation, equation (32) coincides with the equation of motion for φ given in (27): we have Ω = φ. This allows us to write the excess energy of the vortices in terms of the overlap of these zero modes (31)…”

“…While the construction of [4] was performed in the IIB string theory set-up of [31], resulting in vortices as particles in d = 2 + 1 dimensions, here we work with the T-dual IIA construction where the vortices appear as strings in a d = 3 + 1 dimensional gauge theory. Related brane constructions of vortices were recently discussed in [32].…”

We study the low-energy quantum dynamics of vortex strings in the Higgs phase of N = 2 supersymmetric QCD. The exact BPS spectrum of the stretched string is shown to coincide with the BPS spectrum of the four-dimensional parent gauge theory. Perturbative string excitations correspond to bound W-bosons and quarks while the monopoles appear as kinks on the vortex string. This provides a physical explanation for an observation by N. Dorey relating the quantum spectra of theories in two and four dimensions.

This paper presents an overview of the recent literature on flame retardancy of polycarbonate (PC) and polycarbonate-based resins. A brief survey of the major mechanisms of thermal decomposition of PC is also presented because it gives insight in the mechanisms of flame retardant action. Mostly industrial laboratories are involved in the development of new flame retardants for PC and, to a much lesser extent, academic laboratories are doing research on the mechanistic aspects of flame retardancy. The number of patents published annually on the flame retardancy of PC and its blends significantly exceeds the number of patents on flame retardancy of any other polymer. Because PC is a naturally high charring polymer, the condensed phase active flame retardants, in particular phosphorus-based ones, are widely used in PC-based blends. Plain PC can pass stringent flame retardant tests with very low additions of some sulfur-or silicone-based flame retardants.

Retrofitting Autonomic Capabilities onto Legacy Systems

et al. 2006

Autonomic computing-self-configuring, self-healing, self-managing applications, systems and networks-is a promising solution to ever-increasing system complexity and the spiraling costs of human management as systems scale to global proportions. Most results to date, however, suggest ways to architect new software designed from the ground up as autonomic systems, whereas in the real world organizations continue to use stovepipe legacy systems and/or build "systems of systems" that draw from a gamut of disparate technologies from numerous vendors. Our goal is to retrofit autonomic computing onto such systems, externally, without any need to understand, modify or even recompile the target system's code. We present an autonomic infrastructure that operates similarly to active middleware, to explicitly add autonomic services to pre-existing systems via continual monitoring and a feedback loop that performs reconfiguration and/or repair as needed. Our lightweight design and separation of concerns enables easy adoption of individual components for use with a variety of target systems, independent of the rest of the full infrastructure. This work has been validated by several case studies spanning multiple real-world application domains.
