We present the results of the analysis of multiwavelength Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of far-infrared galaxies detected in the AKARI Deep Field-South (ADF--S) Survey. The analysis uses a carefully selected sample of 186 sources detected at the 90 $μ$m AKARI band, identified as galaxies with cross-identification in public catalogues. For sources with

In this work we review the theories of origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. The general conditions for achieving baryogenesis and leptogenesis in a CPT conserving field theory have been laid down by Sakharov. In this review we discuss scenarios where a background scalar or gravitational field spontaneously breaks the CPT symmetry and splits

In this paper, we propose a new hybridized discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the convection-diffusion problems with mixed boundary conditions. A feature of the proposed method, is that it can greatly reduce the number of globally-coupled degrees of freedom, compared with the classical DG methods. The coercivity of a convective part is achieved by adding

This short paper deals with parallel scientific applications using non-blocking and periodic coordinated checkpointing to enforce resilience. We provide a model and detailed formulas for total execution time and consumed energy. We characterize the optimal period for both objectives, and we assess the range of time/energy trade-offs to be made by instantiati

We consider solution operators of linear ordinary boundary problems with "too many" boundary conditions, which are not always solvable. These generalized Green's operators are a certain kind of generalized inverses of differential operators. We answer the question when the product of two generalized Green's operators is again a generalized Gr

Consider a rational map from a projective space to a product of projective spaces, induced by a collection of linear projections. Motivated by the the theory of limit linear series and Abel-Jacobi maps, we study the basic properties of the closure of the image of the rational map using a combination of techniques of moduli functors and initial degenerations.

The ANTARES experiment is currently the largest underwater neutrino telescope in the Northern Hemisphere. It is taking high quality data since 2007. Its main scientific goal is to search for high energy neutrinos that are expected from the acceleration of cosmic rays from astrophysical sources.

The MAST (Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak) real time plasma position controller is based on an optical linear camera placed on the mid plane of the vessel. This solution has the advantage of being a direct observation of the D [alpha]emissions coming from the interaction between the boundary of the plasma and neutral gas, but, on the other hand, it restricts t

Strong retardation of ultrashort optical pulses, including their deceleration and stoppage in the form of Bragg solitons in a cascaded Bragg-grating (BG) structure, is proposed. The manipulations of the pulses are carried out, using nonlinear effects, in a chirped BG segment which is linked, via a defect, to a uniform grating. The storage of the ultrashort p

For a space with involutive action, there is a variant of K-theory. Motivated by T-duality in type II orbifold string theory, we establish that a twisted version of the variant enjoys a topological T-duality for Real circle bundles, i.e. circle bundles with real structure.

We investigate the contribution of Interatomic Coulombic Decay induced by ion impact in neon and argon dimers (Ne$_2$ and Ar$_2$) to the production of low energy electrons. Our experiments cover a broad range of perturbation strengths and reaction channels. We use 11.37 MeV/u S$^{14+}$, 0.125 MeV/u He$^{1+}$, 0.1625 MeV/u He$^{1+}$ and 0.150 MeV/u He$^{2+}$

A remarkable connection between the order of a maximum clique and the Lagrangian of a graph was established by Motzkin and Straus in 1965. This connection and its extensions were applied in Turán problems of graphs and uniform hypergraphs. Very recently, the study of Turán densities of non-uniform hypergraphs has been motivated by extremal poset problems. In

The paper characterizes $(2t+1)$-regular graphs with circular flow number $2 + \frac{2}{2t-1}$. For $t=1$ this is Tutte's characterization of cubic graphs with flow number 4. The class of cubic graphs is the only class of odd regular graphs where a flow number separates the class 1 graphs from the class 2 graphs. We finally state some conjectures and rel

A set of $N$ points is chosen randomly in a $D$-dimensional volume $V=a^D$, with periodic boundary conditions. For each point $i$, its distance $d_i$ is found to its nearest neighbour. Then, the maximal value is found, $d_{max}=max(d_i, i=1,...,N)$. Our numerical calculations indicate, that when the density $N/V$=const, $d_{max}$ scales with the linear syste

We apply the Stochastic Perron method, created by Bayraktar and Sîrbu, to a stochastic exit time control problem. Our main assumption is the validity of the Strong Comparison Result for the related Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation. Without relying on Bellman's optimality principle we prove that inside the domain the value function is continuous and

The study of nowhere-zero flows began with a key observation of Tutte that in planar graphs, nowhere-zero k-flows are dual to k-colourings (in the form of k-tensions). Tutte conjectured that every graph without a cut-edge has a nowhere-zero 5-flow. Seymour proved that every such graph has a nowhere-zero 6-flow. For a graph embedded in an orientable surface o

Using the Higgs boson mass $m_h=125$ GeV, the radiative Higgs decays $h\rightarrowγν_l\barν_l$ with $ν_l = ν_e,\,ν_μ$ and $ν_τ$ are analyzed in the standard model. Our calculation shows that the inclusive width of these processes, i.e., the sum of $Γ(h\toγν_l\barν_l)$ for ${ν_l=ν_e,ν_μ,ν_τ}$, is $1.41$ keV, which is about $15\%$ of $Γ(h\toγγ)$. Therefore, th

For a finite group $G$, let $d(G)$ denote the probability that a randomly chosen pair of elements of $G$ commute. We prove that if $d(G)>1/s$ for some integer $s>1$ and $G$ splits over an abelian normal nontrivial subgroup $N$, then $G$ has a nontrivial conjugacy class inside $N$ of size at most $s-1$. We also extend two results of Barry, MacHale, and N\&#39

Let B1 denote the set {0,1} with the usual operations except that $1+1=1$, in other words, the smallest characteristic 1 semifield . We compare two possible analogues of the notion of prime ideal for B1--algebras. We then consider the relations between these notions and Deitmar's theory of F1--schemes.

For a permutation $π$, let $S_{n}(π)$ be the number of permutations on $n$ letters avoiding $π$. Marcus and Tardos proved the celebrated Stanley-Wilf conjecture that $L(π)= \lim_{n \to \infty} S_n(π)^{1/n}$ exists and is finite. Backed by numerical evidence, it has been conjectured by many researchers over the years that $L(π)=Θ(k^2)$ for every permutation $

We study the regularity of a distributional solution $(u,p)$ of the 3D incompressible evolution Navier-Stokes equations. Let $B_r$ denote concentric balls in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with radius $r$. We will show that if $p\in L^{m} (0,1; L^1(B_2))$, $m>2$, and if $u$ is sufficiently small in $L^{\infty} (0,1; L^{3,\infty}(B_2))$, without any assumption on its gradien

Atom interferometers using Bose-Einstein condensates are fundamentally limited by a phase diffusion process that arises from atomic interactions. The Gross-Pitaevskii equation is here used to accurately calculate the diffusion rate for a Bragg interferometer. It is seen to agree with a Thomas-Fermi approximation at large atom numbers and a perturbative appro

We construct the non-relativistic parity-violating hydrodynamic description of a two-dimensional dissipative, normal fluid in presence of small U(1) background fields and vorticity. This is achieved by taking the non-relativistic limit of the recently developed relativistic hydrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions. We identify and interpret the resulting parity-viola

We present a catalog of bulge, disk, and total stellar mass estimates for ~660,000 galaxies in the Legacy area of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7. These masses are based on a homogeneous catalog of g- and r-band photometry described by Simard et al. (2011), which we extend here with bulge+disk and Sersic profile photometric decompositions in the

We employ hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the underlying mechanism responsible for the low levels of gas and dust in globular clusters. Our models examine the competing effects of energy and mass supply from the various components of the evolved stellar population for globular clusters 47 Tucanae, M15, NGC 6440, and NGC 6752. Ignoring all other gas

We present numerical simulations in general relativity of collapsing stellar cores. Our initial model consists of a low metallicity rapidly-rotating progenitor which is evolved in axisymmetry with the latest version of our general relativistic code CoCoNuT, which allows for black hole formation and includes the effects of a microphysical equation of state (L

The coalescence of two neutron stars is an important gravitational wave source for LIGO and other detectors. Numerous studies have considered the precision with which binary parameters (masses, spins, Love numbers) can be measured. Here I consider the accuracy with which these parameters can be determined in the presence of systematic errors due to waveform

The PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider has measured open heavy flavor production in Cu$+$Cu collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=200 GeV through the measurement of electrons at midrapidity that originate from semileptonic decays of charm and bottom hadrons. In peripheral Cu$+$Cu collisions an enhanced production of electrons is observed

Recent measurements by the {\it Planck} experiment of the power spectrum of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) reveal a deficit of power in low multipoles compared to the predictions from best-fit $Λ$CDM cosmology. The low-$\ell$ anomaly may be explained by the presence of primordial isocurvature perturbations in addi

We construct effective field theories for superconductors, that are powerful enough to describe low lying sub gap fermion modes localized to vortex cores, and at the same time resemble topological field theories in that there are no bulk degrees of freedom. This is achieved by a kinetic term for fermions that is proportional to the vortex topological charge,
