We model the evolution of buoyant magnetic flux tubes in the Sun's convection zone. A flux tube is assumed to lie initially near the top of the stably stratified radiative core below the convection zone, but a segment of it is perturbed into the convection zone by gradual heating and convective overshoot motions. The ends ("footpoints") of the se

In this work a system of non-linear elliptic equations is considered, where the non-linear term is the sum of a quadratic form and a Sobolev sub-critical term. An extra assumption is introduced on the sub-critical term, which is minimal among the ones which guarantee the existence of standing-waves obtained by estimating frequencies of minimizing sequences w

We report a confocal Raman study on edges of single layer graphene. It is found that edge orientations could be identified by G mode besides D mode. We observe that G mode at edges of single layer graphene exhibits polar behaviors and different edges like zigzag- or armchair-dominated responses differently to the polarization of the incident laser. Moreover,

In the classical theory of electromagnetism, the permittivity and the permeability of free space are constants whose magnitudes do not seem to possess any deeper physical meaning. By replacing the free space of classical physics with the quantum notion of the vacuum, we speculate that the values of the aforementioned constants could arise from the polarizati

The key observation about quantum reality is that it often appears as if, at some moment, the probability of a quantum event becomes a definite outcome for us. A careful analysis suggests, however, that what we perceive as a definite state -- the observed outcome of a quantum experiment -- is not strictly definite. From this, we conclude that the quantum wor

In this note several computations of equivariant cohomology groups are performed. For the compactly supported equivariant cohomology, the notion of infinitesimal index developed in arXiv:1003.3525, allows to describe these groups in terms of certain spaces of distributions arising in the theory of splines. The new version contains a large number of improveme

We use a generalized delta N formalism to study the generation of the primordial curvature perturbation in the curvaton brane scenario inspired by stringy compactifications. We note that the non-Gaussian features, especially the trispectra, crucially depend on the decay mechanism in a general curvaton scenario. Specifically, we study the bispectra and trispe

Motivated by recent works [1,2], we investigate new agegraphic model of dark energy in the framework of RS II braneworld. We also include the case of variable gravitational constant in our model. Furthermore, we establish correspondence between the new agegraphic dark energy with other dark energy candidates based on scalar fields.

By simulating an ergodic Markov chain whose stationary distribution is uniform over the space of nxn Latin squares, Mark T. Jacobson and Peter Matthews [4], have discussed elegant methods by which they generate Latin squares with a uniform distribution (approximately). The central issue is the construction of "moves" that connect the squares. Most of

The persistence exponent $\theta_o$ for the simple diffusion equation ${\phi}_t({\it x},t) = \triangle \phi (x,t)$ , with random Gaussian initial condition {\color{red},} has been calculated exactly using a method known as selective averaging. The probability that the value of the field $\phi$ at a specified spatial coordinate remains positive throughout for

Given a commutative ring $A$, a "formal $A$-module" is a formal group equipped with an action of $A$. There exists a classifying ring $L^A$ of formal $A$-modules. This paper proves structural results about $L^A$ and about the moduli stack $\mathcal{M}_{fmA}$ of formal $A$-modules. We use these structural results to aid in explicit calculations of flat cohomo

In 2006, A. Gorodetski proved that central fibers of perturbed skew products are Holder continuous with respect to the base point. In the present paper we give an explicit estimate of the Holder exponent mentioned above. Moreover, we extend the Gorodetski theorem from the case when the fiber maps are close to the identity to a much wider class that satisfy

We show that every state on an interval effect algebra is an integral through some regular Borel probability measure defined on the Borel $σ$-algebra of a compact Hausdorff simplex. This is true for every effect algebra satisfying (RDP) or for every MV-algebra. In addition, we show that each state on an effect subalgebra of an interval effect algebra $E$ can

Consider a set of discounted optimal stopping problems for a one-parameter family of objective functions and a fixed diffusion process, started at a fixed point.

We prove that the sizes of the maximal dissociated subsets of a given finite subset of an abelian group differ by a logarithmic factor at most. On the other hand, we show that the set $\{0,1\}^n\seq\Z^n$ possesses a dissociated subset of size $\Ome(n\log n)$; since the standard basis of $\Z^n$ is a maximal dissociated subset of $\{0,1\}^n$ of size $n$, the r

Some classes of increment martingales, and the corresponding localized classes, are studied. An increment martingale is indexed by the real line and its increment processes are martingales.

It is well known that a direct sum of CLS-modules is not, in general, a CLS-module. It is proved that if $M=M_1\oplus M_2$, where $M_1$ and $M_2$ are CLS-modules such that $M_1$ and $M_2$ are relatively ojective (or $M_1$ is $M_2$-ejective), then $M$ is a CLS-module and some known results are generalized.

In the present paper, a new class of black hole solutions is constructed in even dimensional Lovelock Born-Infeld theory. These solutions are interesting since, in some respects, they are closer to black hole solutions of an odd dimensional Lovelock Chern-Simons theory than to the more usual black hole solutions in even dimensions. This hybrid behavior arise

Coherent emission is observed at large dc input power, where a hot spot and a standing wave, formed in the "cold" part of the stack, coexist. By varying the hot spot size the cavity resonance frequency and the em

In this paper, we consider the distributive queue-aware power and subband allocation design for a delay-optimal OFDMA uplink system with one base station, $K$ users and $N_F$ independent subbands. Each mobile has an uplink queue with heterogeneous packet arrivals and delay requirements. We model the problem as an infinite horizon average reward Markov Decisi

In many hybrid wireless sensor networks' applications, sensor nodes are deployed in hostile environments where trusted and un-trusted nodes co-exist. In anchor-based hybrid networks, it becomes important to allow trusted nodes to gain full access to the location information transmitted in beacon frames while, at the same time, prevent un-trusted nodes fr

We present a mechanism to produce indistinguishable single-photon pulses on demand from an optical cavity. The sequences of two laser pulses generate, at the two Raman transitions of a four-level atom, the same cavity-mode photons without repumping of the atom between photon generations. Photons are emitted from the cavity with near-unit efficiency in well-d

We report a Raman scattering investigation of KTa1-xNbxO3 (x = 0.35, 0.5) thin films deposited on MgO and LaAlO3 as a function of temperature. The observed phase sequence in the range from 90 K to 720 K is similar to the structural phase transitions of the end-member material KNbO3. Although similar in the phase sequence, the actual temperatures observed for

Iterative algorithms aimed at solving some problems are discussed. For certain problems, such as finding a common point in the intersection of a finite number of convex sets, there often exist iterative algorithms that impose very little demand on computer resources. For other problems, such as finding that point in the intersection at which the value of a g
