We investigate the relativistic equation of state of hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density in the framework of the nonextensive statistical mechanics, characterized by power-law quantum distributions. We study the phase transition from hadronic matter to quark-gluon plasma by requiring the Gibbs conditions on the glo

In order to maintain consistent quality of service, computer network engineers face the task of monitoring the traffic fluctuations on the individual links making up the network. However, due to resource constraints and limited access, it is not possible to directly measure all the links. Starting with a physically interpretable probabilistic model of networ

We investigate whether or not the decadal and multi-decadal climate oscillations have an astronomical origin. Several global surface temperature records since 1850 and records deduced from the orbits of the planets present very similar power spectra. Eleven frequencies with period between 5 and 100 years closely correspond in the two records. Among them, lar

We have studied the measurement accuracy of the forward-backward asymmetry of the $e^+e^- \rightarrow t\bar{t}$ process in the 6-jet mode at $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV with the ILD detector. In the analysis the vertex charges of b-jets were used to distinguish t from $\bar{t}$ in each event. The distribution of the cosine of the reconstructed polar angle of so ide

The usual procedures to extract effective refractive indices for negative-index metamaterials are complicated by branching ambiguities in the inverse cosine function. The existing methods to eliminate ambiguities either involve calculations with varying geometries which are inherently flawed, as metamaterial properties depend strongly on geometry, or are mor

We show that systems driven by an external force and described by Nose-Hoover dynamics allow for a consistent nonequilibrium thermodynamics description when the thermostatted variable is initially assumed in a state of canonical equilibrium. By treating the "real" variables as the system and the thermostatted variable as the reservoir, we establish t

The vortex-vortex interaction potential in bulk superconductors is calculated within the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory and is obtained from a numerical solution of a set of two coupled non-linear GL differential equations for the vector potential and the superconducting order parameter, where the merger of vortices into a giant vortex is allowed. Further, the

We point out an interesting theoretical prediction for elliptical galaxies residing inside galaxy clusters in the framework of modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND), that could be used to test this paradigm. Apart from the central brightest cluster galaxy, other galaxies close enough to the centre experience a strong gravitational influence from the other galax

In the general MSSM, first and second generation squarks and gluinos may be sufficiently light to be produced and studied at $e^+e^-$ colliders operating in the 0.5-1 TeV energy range. After a reminder that the MSSM is {\it not} the same as mSUGRA, we provide a brief overview of these possibilities within this more general framework

We study the properties of propagating polariton wave-packets and their connection to the stability of doubly charged vortices. Wave-packet propagation and related photoluminescence spectra exhibit a rich behaviour dependent on the excitation regime. We show that, because of the non-quadratic polariton dispersion, doubly charged vortices are stable only when

Traditionally, the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) models for homogeneous and inhomogeneous roads have been analyzed in flux-density space with the fundamental diagram of the flux-density relation. In this paper, we present a new framework for analyzing the LWR model, especially the Riemann problem at a linear boundary in which the upstream and downstream l

An attempt is made to remedy confusing treatments of some basic relativistic concepts and results in recent papers by Franklin (2010 {\it Eur. J. Phys.} {\bf 31} 291-8) and by McGlynn and van Kampen (2008 {\it Eur. J. Phys.} {\bf 29} N63-N67). The authors' misconceptions are recurrent points in the literature.

We investigate the origins of the widely-observed "en passant" crack pattern which forms through interactions between two approaching cracks. A rectangular elastic plate is notched on each long side and then subjected to quasistatic uniaxial strain from the short side. The two cracks propagate along approximately straight paths until they pass each o

This paper discusses some of the challenges of spectro-polarimetric observations with a large aperture solar telescope such as the ATST or the EST. The observer needs to reach a compromise among spatial and spectral resolution, time cadence, and signal-to-noise ratio, as only three of those four parameters can be pushed to the limit. Tunable filters and grat

We present additional evidence that dust is really forming along the red giant branch (RGB) of 47 Tuc at luminosities ranging from above the horizontal branch to the RGB-tip (Origlia et al. 2007). The presence of dust had been inferred from an infrared excess in the (K-8) color, with K measured from high spatial resolution ground based near-IR photometry and

A parametric analysis is an analysis whose input and output are parametrized with a number of parameters which can be instantiated to abstract properties after analysis is completed.

We have obtained the random loose packing fraction of the parking lot model (PLM) by taking the limit of infinite compactivity in the two-variable statistical description of Tarjus and Viot for the PLM. The PLM is a stochastic model of adsorption and desorption of particles on a substrate that have been used as a model for compaction of granular materials. A

We show that the chiral-limit vacuum quark condensate is qualitatively equivalent to the pseudoscalar meson leptonic decay constant in the sense that they are both obtained as the chiral-limit value of well-defined gauge-invariant hadron-to-vacuum transition amplitudes that possess a spectral representation in terms of the current-quark mass. Thus, whereas i

What is the longest rope on the unit sphere? Intuition tells us that the answer to this packing problem depends on the rope's thickness. For a countably infinite number of prescribed thickness values we construct and classify all solution curves. The simplest ones are similar to the seamlines of a tennis ball, others exhibit a striking resemblance to Tur

A manifold with fibered cusp metrics $X$ can be considered as a geometrical generalization of locally symmetric spaces of $\mathbb{Q}$-rank one at infinity. We prove a Hodge-type theorem for this class of Riemannian manifolds, i.e. we find harmonic representatives of the de Rham cohomology $H^p(X)$. Similar to the situation of locally symmetric spaces, these

A discussion on the nature of the 0+ states in 68Ni (Z=28, N=40) is presented and a comparison is made with its valence counterpart 90Zr (Z=40, N=50). Evidence is given for a 0+ proton intruder state at only ~2.2 MeV excitation energy in 68Ni, while the analogous neutron intruder states in 90Zr reside at 4126 keV and 5441 keV.

Mathematical population genetics is only one of Kingman's many research interests. Nevertheless, his contribution to this field has been crucial, and moved it in several important new directions. Here we outline some aspects of his work which have had a major influence on population genetics theory.

We investigate under which conditions we can expect to observe quantum brownian motion in a microscope. Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we investigate quantum brownian motion in an ohmic bath, and estimate temporal and spatial accuracy required to observe a crossover from classical to quantum behavior.

We investigate characteristics of random split trees introduced by Devroye; split trees include for example binary search trees, $m$-ary search trees, quadtrees, median of $(2k+1)$-trees, simplex trees, tries and digital search trees. More precisely: We introduce the use of renewal theory in the studies of split trees, and use this theory to prove several re

We show that we can obtain a good fit to the present day stellar mass functions (MFs) of a large sample of young and old Galactic clusters in the range 0.1 - 10 Msolar with a tapered power law distribution function with an exponential truncation of the form dN/dm \propto m^alpha [1 - exp-(m/m_c)^beta]. The average value of the power-law index alpha is -2, th

This paper presents a combination of several automated reasoning and proof presentation tools with the Mizar system for formalization of mathematics. The combination forms an online service called MizAR, similar to the SystemOnTPTP service for first-order automated reasoning. The main differences to SystemOnTPTP are the use of the Mizar language that is orie

A projective, smooth, absolutely irreducible algebraic curve X of genus g defined over a finite field F_q is called optimal if for every other such genus g curve Y over F_q one has $\#Y(F_q)\le \#X(F_q)$. In this paper we show that for $g\le 5$ there is a unique optimal genus g curve over F_2. For g=6 there are precisely two and for g=7 there are at least tw

We study the number of random records in an arbitrary split tree (or equivalently, the number of random cuttings required to eliminate the tree). We show that a classical limit theorem for convergence of sums of triangular arrays to infinitely divisible distributions can be used to determine the distribution of this number. After normalization the distributi

We investigate the magnetic field effect on the spin gap state in CeRu2Al10 by measuring the magnetization and electrical resistivity. We found that the magnetization curve for the magnetic field H//c shows a metamagnetic-like anomaly at H*~4 T below T_0=27 K, but no anomaly for H//a and H//b. A shoulder of the electrical resistivity at Ts~5 K for I//c is su

We investigate the pressure effect of the electrical resistivity and magnetization of Ce$_{0.8}$La$_{0.2}$B$_{6}$. The situation in which phase IV stably exists inside phase II at H=0 T could be realized by applying a pressure above $P\sim 1.1$ GPa. This originates from the fact that the stability of phase II under pressure is larger than those of phases IV

In this work we propose a new and more general approach to the calculus of variations on time scales that allows to obtain, as particular cases, both delta and nabla results. More precisely, we pose the problem of minimizing or maximizing the composition of delta and nabla integrals with Lagrangians that involve directional derivatives. Unified Euler-Lagrang

We have obtained the first continuous disk averaged spectrum of Mars from 450 to 1550 Ghz using the Herschel-SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The spectrum was obtained at a constant resolution of 1.4 GHz across the whole band. The flux from the planet is such that the instrument was operated in "bright source" mode to prevent saturation of the d

Models with a non-universal Z' exhibit in general flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC) at tree-level. When the Z' couplings favor the third generation, flavor changing transitions of the form Z'tc and Z'tu could be large enough to be observable at the LHC. In this paper we explore this possibility using the associated production of a singl

Using x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), we determine the element-specific character and polarization of unoccupied states near the Fermi level in (Ga,Mn)As and (In,Ga,Mn)As thin films. The XMCD at the As K absorption edge consists of a single peak located on the low-energy side of the edge, which increases with the concentration of ferromagnetic Mn m

We demonstrate a quantum key distribution with a secure bit rate exceeding 1 Mbit/s over 50 km fiber averaged over a continuous 36-hours period. Continuous operation of high bit rates is achieved using feedback systems to control path length difference and polarization in the interferometer and the timing of the detection windows. High bit rates and continuo

This paper is concerned with SIR (susceptible $\to$ infected $\to$ removed) household epidemic models in which the infection response may be either mild or severe, with the type of response also affecting the infectiousness of an individual. Two different models are analysed. In the first model, the infection status of an individual is predetermined, perhaps

This work deals with the analysis of cylindrically symmetric and stationary space-times $\mathcal{C}_{t}$ with closed timelike curves. The equation of motion describing the evolution of a massive scalar field in a $\mathcal{C}_{t}$ space-time is obtained. A class of space-times with closed timelike curves describing cosmic strings and cylinders is studied in

The simulation software for the ATLAS Experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is being used for large-scale production of events on the LHC Computing Grid. This simulation requires many components, from the generators that simulate particle collisions, through packages simulating the response of the various detectors and triggers.

In this paper, using Riemann-Lagrange geometrical methods, we construct a geometrical model on 1-jet spaces for the study of multi-time relativistic magnetized non-viscous plasma, characterized by a given energy-stress-momentum distinguished (d-) tensor. In that arena, we give the conservation laws and the continuity equations for multi-time plasma. The part

We derive here a new stability criterion for two-fluid interfaces. This criterion ensures the existence of "stable" local solutions that do no break down too fast due to Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities. It can be seen both as a two-fluid generalization of the Rayleigh-Taylor criterion and as a nonlinear version of the Kelvin stability condition. We sh

The question of encoding movements such as those produced by human gestures may become central in the coming years, given the growing importance of movement data exchanges between heterogeneous systems and applications (musical applications, 3D motion control, virtual reality interaction, etc.).

This paper is focused on the question of simulation and visualiza- tion of 3D gel and paste dynamic effects. In a first part, we introduce a 3D physically based particle (or mass-interaction) model, with a small number of masses and few powerful interaction parameters, which is able to generate the dynamic features of both gels and pastes. This model proves

Let $Ω$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space. We show that any local $\mathbb{C}$-linear map (where "local" is a weaker notion than $C_0(Ω)$-linearity) between Banach $C_0(Ω)$-modules are "nearly $C_0(Ω)$-linear" and "nearly bounded". As an application, a local $\mathbb{C}$-linear map $θ$ between Hilbert $C_0(Ω)$-modules is automatica

The production of energetic (multi-GeV) heavy ion beams by acceleration of ultra-thin foils through the application of radiation pressure to a self-generated, imperfect plasma mirror (photon absorption probability η finite) is studied.

Context: While sub-micron- and micron-sized dust grains are generally well mixed with the gas phase in protoplanetary disks, larger grains will be partially decoupled and as a consequence have a different distribution from that of the gas. This has ramifications for predictions of the observability of protoplanetary disks, for which gas-only studies will pro

Formal mathematics has so far not taken full advantage of ideas from collaborative tools such as wikis and distributed version control systems (DVCS). We argue that the field could profit from such tools, serving both newcomers and experts alike. We describe a preliminary system for such collaborative development based on the Git DVCS.

A mass transport directed from low to high density region in an inhomogeneous medium is modeled as a limiting case of a two-component lattice gas with excluded volume constraint and one of the components fixed. In the long-wavelength approximation, density relaxation of mobile particles is governed by a diffusion process and interaction with a medium inhomog

Given a list of n complex numbers, when can it be the spectrum of a quantum channel, i.e., a completely positive trace preserving map? We provide an explicit solution for the n=4 case and show that in general the characterization of the non-zero part of the spectrum can essentially be given in terms of its classical counterpart - the non-zero spectrum of a s

It says that {\em unknown} single harmonic oscillator coherent states can not be {\em amplified}. Conversely it says that {\em known} harmonic oscillator coherent states can be directly amplified through an universal unitary process. It is also s

This paper presents an average case denoising performance analysis for the Subspace Pursuit (SP), the CoSaMP and the IHT algorithms.

We studied the transport properties of CeRu_2Al_10 single crystals. All the transport properties show largely anisotropic behaviors below T_0. Those along the a- and c-axes show similar behaviors, but are different from those along the b-axis. This suggests that the system could be viewed as a two-dimensional system.

We evaluate the effective potential for the conventional linear Walecka non perturbatively up to one loop. This quantity is then renormalized with a prescription which allows finite vacuum contributions to the three as well as four 1PI Green's functions to survive. These terms, which are absent in the standard relativistic Hartree approximation, have a l

A remarkable property of naked singularities in general relativity is their repulsive nature. The effects generated by repulsive gravity are usually investigated by analyzing the trajectories of test particles which move in the effective potential of a naked singularity.

We discuss the additional perturbation introduced during inflation by quantum stress tensor fluctuations of a conformally invariant field such as the photon.

Collective flow as a consequence of hydrodynamical evolution in heavy ion collisions is intensively studied by theorists and experimentalists to understand the behavior of hot quark matter. Due to their large mass, heavy ions suffer collective effects even at low (SPS) or intermediate energies (RHIC). In case of light systems such as (anti)proton-proton inte

Today, reusable components are available in several repositorys. These are certainly conceived for re-use. However, this re-use is not immediate, it requires, in effect, to pass by some essential conceptual operations, among which in particular, research, integration, adaptation, and composition.

We investigate the CP asymmetry for a hybrid texture of the neutrino mass matrix predicted by $Q_8$ family symmetry in the context of the type-I seesaw mechanism and examine its consequences for leptogenesis.

Due to the corresponding fact concerning Hilbert spaces, it is natural to ask if the linearity and the orthogonality structure of a Hilbert $C^*$-module determine its $C^*$-algebra-valued inner product.

We show that the nonequilibrium entropy production for a driven quantum system is larger than the Bures length, the geometric distance between its actual state and the corresponding equilibrium state. This universal lower bound generalizes the Clausius inequality to arbitrary nonequilibrium processes beyond linear response. We further derive a fundamental up

A fundamental and very well studied region of the Erdös-Rényi process is the phase transition at n/2 edges in which a giant component suddenly appears.

By observing mergers of compact objects, future gravity wave experiments would measure the luminosity distance to a large number of sources to a high precision but not their redshifts.

We study Mott phases and superfluid-insulator (SI) transitions of ultracold bosonic atoms in a two-dimensional square optical lattice at commensurate filling and in the presence of a synthetic periodic vector potential characterized by a strength $p$ and a period $l=qa$, where $q$ is an integer and $a$ is the lattice spacing. We show that the Schrödinger equ

We selected a sample of 24 XMM-Newton light curves (LCs) of four high energy peaked blazars, PKS 0548-322, ON 231, 1ES 1426+428 and PKS 2155-304. These data comprise continuous light curves of 7.67h to 18.97h in length. We searched for possible quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) and intra-day variability (IDV) timescales in the LCs of these blazars. We found

The authors take the rotochemical heating effect into account, which may make the cooling scenario different. Their model is consistent with the observation data.

Distributed power control over interference limited network has received an increasing intensity of interest over the past few years. Distributed solutions (like the iterative water-filling, gradient projection, etc.) have been intensively investigated under \emph{quasi-static} channels. However, as such distributed solutions involve iterative updating and e

The subring of the Grothendieck ring of varieties generated by the graph hypersurfaces of quantum field theory maps to the monoid ring of stable birational equivalence classes of varieties. We show that the image of this map is the copy of Z generated by the class of a point. Thus, the span of the graph hypersurfaces in the Grothendieck ring is nearly killed
