5D BPS quivers and KK towers

Abstract We explore BPS quivers SHEA BUTTER OLIVE OIL for D = 5 theories, compactified on a circle and geometrically engineered over local Calabi-Yau 3-folds, for which many of known machineries leading to (refined) indices fail due to the fine-tuning of the superpotential.For Abelian quivers, the counting reduces to a geometric one, but the techni

Miniature Uncooled and Unchopped Fiber Optic Infrared Thermometer for Application to Cutting Tool Temperature Measurement

A new infrared thermometer, sensitive to wavelengths between 3 μm and 3.5 μm, has been developed.It is based on an Indium Arsenide Antimony (InAsSb) photodiode, a MOROCCAN MOON ARGAN transimpedance amplifier, and a sapphire fiber optic cable.The thermometer used an uncooled photodiode sensor and received infrared radiation that did not underg
