Super-exponential inflation from a 5D vacuum
Mauricio Bellini on Tue, 23 Aug 2011 13:16:07 GMT:
Observations of the anisotropy in the cosmic microwave background radiation, are difficult to reconcile with a flat spectrum. For a universe dominated by stable dark matter a flat spectrum is ruled out altogether and even for a neutrino-dominated universe a spectrum of the type δρ/ρ = 1/(M/M_0)s, with s>0, is preferable to the flat spectrum (for which s=0). Unfortunately, however, a quasi-exponential inflation with (dH/dt) It is possible to construct models in which (dH/dt) >0...
Extended General Relativity from a 5D vacuum
Mauricio Bellini on Thu, 21 Jul 2011 11:50:09 GMT:
In much the term antigravity has come to present all those physical phenomena in which the usual gravitational potential is modified toaccommodate repulsive gravitational forces. This is a fascinating subject which has many implications from the possible check of antigravity against, among others, the experiments to the several theoretical issues that are involved, the 4D principle of equivalence and the energy conservation principle. The idea of antigravity has been subject of...
Antimatter in the Universe
Eleonora Presani on Thu, 19 May 2011 15:42:11 GMT:
Following the standard vision of Big Bang, at the origin of the Universe, the so called "matter" and "antimatter" were created in equal amount or, at least, we have no reason to suspect that Big Bang leaned toward preferring one over the other. No reason except one: our existence.It is known that all particles in the Universe follow a very special symmetry: for each particle it exists an "anti"-particle, that has the exact same mass of the particle, but inverse electric charge...
The Vernier principle in photonics
Otto Schwelb on Fri, 06 May 2011 19:15:49 GMT:
Note, that the word processor creating these pages inserts an unintended space before subscripts and superscripts. These spaces should be ignored.The Vernier principle refers to a method to increase the Free Spectral Range (FSR) of an optical microresonator. The FSR is the frequency (or wavelength) span between adjacent resonances of a resonator which are distributed equidistantly as a comb structure. The FSR is determined by the size of the resonator (in the case of a recirculating...
Hydrodynamic Impulse in a Compressible Fluid
Bhimsen Shivamoggi on Tue, 15 Mar 2011 19:08:35 GMT:
The complexity of turbulent motions is believed to originate from various types of vortical motions. Impulse formulations of Euler (and Navier-Stokes) equations are suitable for the study of topological properties of vortex lines. The hydrodynamic impulse can be viewed as the total mechanical impulse of the non-conservative body force that is applied to a limited fluid volume to generate instantaneously from rest the given motion of the whole of the fluid at any time t. In an...
Dynamical investigations of Bell inequality violations in non-Markovian open quantum systems
Rosario Lo Franco on Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:14:09 GMT:
IntroductionViolation of a Bell inequality, in two-qubit (spin-1/2-like) systems, indicates the presence of quantum nonlocal correlations nonreproducible by any classical local model. The violation is identified by values of the Bell function B, consisting of a combination of correlations averages, larger than a maximum classical threshold Bcl.The Bell function depends both on the state of the system and on parameters linked to spin-like measurement directions that correspondingly...
A thermalized-bond lattice model
Saeid Davatolhagh on Sat, 05 Feb 2011 07:26:42 GMT:
The Thermalized Bond Ising Model (TBIM) is a lattice model with annealed bond dilution such that every covalent bond linking a nearest-neighbor pair of atoms sitting on the lattice sites, is allowed thermally induced electronic transitions between bonding and antibonding electronic states. Hence, TBIM can be regarded as containing annealed bond defects, with temperature-dependent concentration, in addition to the usual structural (spin) variables. Each bond at every instant is...

Extinction of quasiparticle scattering interference in cuprate superconductors
Shiping Feng on Mon, 08 Nov 2010 09:40:17 GMT:
The scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to infer the momentum-space information of quasiparticles from the Fourier transform of the position (r) and energy (ω)-dependent local density of states (LDOS), then both real-space and momentum-space modulations for LDOS are explored simultaneously [1]. Recently, the improvements in the resolution of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments [2-4] allowed one to resolve additional features in the quasiparticle scattering...
Optical Mirrors Built with Microring Resonators
Otto Schwelb on Thu, 28 Oct 2010 19:23:20 GMT:
Optical Mirrors Built with Microring Resonators This article describes micrometer size optical mirrors which provide high reflectivity in a relatively narrow wavelength range and practically zero reflectivity in the remainder of the spectrum. Such photonic devices are used, among others, as reflectors for solid state laser sources which supply the gain necessary for oscillation. To fabricate such a mirror one usually requires a two-port network; port 1 where the signal enters...
The Law of Physicodynamic Incompleteness
David L Abel on Fri, 19 Aug 2011 12:22:13 GMT:
The Law of Physicodynamic Incompleteness states that physicochemical interactions are inadequate to explain the mathematical and formal nature of physical law relationships.Many versions of a certain null hypothesis have been published in peer-reviewed scientific literature over the last decade with invitation to the world’s scientific community to falsify it (Abel, 2000, 2002, Abel and Trevors, 2005, Abel, 2006, Abel and Trevors, 2006, Abel, 2007, 2008, Abel, 2008, Abel, 2009,...

Predicting travel time in congestion
L. C. Davis on Mon, 18 Oct 2010 14:20:44 GMT:
Boris Kerner and colleagues at Diamler AG developed a theory of traffic flow that has three principal phases: (1) free flow, (2) synchronous flow. and (3) wide moving jams [1]. The theory resulted from extensive studies of traffic congestion on German autobahns. One interesting observation was that wide moving jams, where cars come to a complete stop, nucleate in regions of synchronous flow, a medium-speed high-flow phase, rather than from high-speed free flow. Their stochastic...
Econophysics of income and wealth distributions
Anindya S. Chakrabarti on Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:56:36 GMT:
IntroductionIt does not require much of a careful analysis to understand that almost without any exception income and wealth in any society are unequally distributed among its people. This inequality has been a constant source of irritation in all societies, at all times. Needless to say, economists and philosophers of all ages have spent countless hours on understanding several aspects of economic inequality and now we have theories to understand inequality in a normative sense....
Real-time accurate optical wave-front reconstruction based on digital optical phase conjugation
Zhiyang Li on Wed, 26 Oct 2011 01:58:54 GMT:
The propagation of an optical field and the image it forms are determined by its wave-front. There are several ways to adjust or reconstruct optical wave-fronts. However accurate, or diffraction limited real-time optical wave-front reconstruction remains a great challenge. With fine holographic plate capable of recording interference patterns with a density as high as several thousands of lines per millimeter vivid virtual/real images could be displayed in free space. Yet only...
Physics and Traffic
L. C. Davis on Thu, 04 Nov 2010 12:53:32 GMT:
Traffic flow on freeways is an interesting example of a self-driven many-particle system. Self-organized phases of congestion have been observed in measurements on instrumented roadways in Europe, North America, and Asia. Although they are not equilibrium phases in the thermodynamic sense, the system undergoes what appears to be first-order phase transitions with characteristic hysteresis. The clearest of these is the formation of a jam where vehicles come to nearly a complete...
Photonic Resonator Chains with Embedded Discontinuities
Otto Schwelb on Mon, 01 Nov 2010 17:42:49 GMT:
Photonic Resonator Chains with Embedded Discontinuities A chain of photonic microresonators consist of a one dimensional array of resonant elements coupled to adjacent elements usually through evanescent wave coupling [1]. In its simplest form the resonators as well as the coupling coefficients are identical. The properties of such a periodic array comprised of a finite number of unit cells, namely a resonator and adjacent coupler, are similar to that of a grating of finite length,...

Preecha Yupapin on Fri, 01 Oct 2010 03:55:27 GMT:
Mobile telephone has been brought to the world for two decades, where there are some technologies involved in many areas of research. Up to date, the searching for new devices and technologies are still needed. For instance, Yupapin and Suwancharoen have reported the use of chaotic signals generated by micro ring resonator for communication security, where the transmission signals could be secured by using the analog or digital methods. The increasing in the channel capacity could...
Quantization procedure for the description of bubble growth in a superheated liquid
Stephen Choi on Thu, 30 Sep 2010 17:21:07 GMT:
In the absence of an ab initio microscopic theory, quantum mechanical description of bubble growth in a superheated liquid requires quantization of the corresponding classical Hamiltonian. Due to the position-dependent mass of the bubble, the quantization procedure is non-trivial but can be carried out using the Weyl quantization procedure and also using the Supersymmetric quantum mechanics prescription. Once this is done, a couple of specific operator ordering emerges to give...
Laser cooling of solids
Galina Nemova on Mon, 04 Oct 2010 02:27:52 GMT:
Laser cooling of solids (also called optical refrigeration or anti-Stokes fluorescent cooling) is a research area that investigates the interaction of light with condensed matter. The most significant practical issue of this research is the design and construction of all-solid-state optical cryocoolers. The idea of using anti-Stokes fluorescence to cool solid state matter was first proposed by Peter Pringsheim in 1929 (Pringsheim 1929). It has been shown that some materials emit...

Divorticity and Dihelicity in Two-dimensional Hydrodynamics
Bhimsen Shivamoggi on Fri, 10 Sep 2010 14:34:21 GMT:
Divorticity and Dihelicity in Two-dimensional HydrodynamicsThe fully developed turbulence (FDT) problem poses many formidable intellectual challenges and occupies a central place in modern statistical physics and nonlinear mathematics. The theory of two-dimensional (2D) FDT, until recently, remained almost an academic exercise, not withstanding its possible connections with large-scale flows in thin fluid shells such as atmospheres and oceans. 2D FDT has now been produced to a...
Megasverses Gravitation
Mario Arturo Ruiz Estrada on Thu, 09 Sep 2010 11:31:18 GMT:
AbstractThis Scitopics page proposes a basic theoretical framework about the Megasverses gravitation. Originally, the Megasverses can be considered as a mega-space that is formed by megasfinity number of multidimensional spaces. Hence, the idea about the Megasverses gravitation is directly connected to three basic conditions follow by the multidimensional geodesic position, mass and sustainable kinetic energy auto-generation. The last condition is derivate from the first two conditions.Introduct...
Predicting the viscosity of concentrated suspensions of arbitrarily-shaped particles
Ivan Santamaria Holek on Sun, 02 Jan 2011 02:44:54 GMT:
When solid or liquid particles are suspended in an homogeneous isotropic fluid, the viscosity η of the resulting complex fluid becomes increased.For low concentrations, the increase in the viscosity as a function of the volume fraction φ was firstly determined for spherically shaped particles by Einstein in 1911. The generalization of Einstein’s formula to solid particles with non-spherical shapes (ellipsoids) was found in 1922 by Jeffery and to emulsions (suspensions of liquid droplets)...
Direction of Time: Increase of Knowledge
L Perlovsky on Fri, 17 Dec 2010 20:00:57 GMT:
In physics time direction is determined by the increase of Entropy Basic laws of physics governing interactions of few particles (fields, strings) are symmetrical with respect to direction of time. So what determines the direction of time? Why do we experience time as directed from past to future and never backwards? The arrow of time is usually associated with increase of Entropy. When considering systems consisting of a large number of particles, physics has to account for the...

Unified description of nucleon transfer in low-energy heavy-ion reactions
Yoritaka Iwata on Fri, 27 Aug 2010 18:34:28 GMT:
1. Synthesis of elementsAmong the most fundamental questions, we have never understood the history of our universe in the context of nucleosynthesis; “How were all the chemical elements created and why do they exist as they are ?”. This is a problem of the existence-limit of chemical elements, as well as the abundance of chemical elements in the universe. Because each element (nucleus) consists of two species of nucleons, protons and neutrons, each element has a degree of freedom...
Megasfinity
Mario Arturo Ruiz Estrada on Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:21:25 GMT:
AbstractThis paper is interested to introduce a new number that is called “Megasfinity”. The main objective to propose the uses of Megasfinity is because multi-dimensional coordinate spaces request the uses of an alternative number. This is because we need to analyze different general-spaces, sub-spaces and micro-spaces in the same graphical space simultaneously. Hence, this paper suggests the application of the Megasfinity coordinate space that can permit to visualize a large...

Goldstone mode singularities in the O(n) lattice spin models
Jevgenijs Kaupuzs on Mon, 12 Jul 2010 15:11:25 GMT:
We study the lattice spin models, where the spin is an n-component vector with n>1. These are the so-called n-vector or O(n) models, as they have the O(n) global rotational symmetry at zero external field h. It is well known that such models exhibit the second-order phase transition of the order - disorder type at spatial dimensionality d>2. In the thermodynamic limit, the correlation length in these models is divergent at vanishing external field not only at the critical point,...

Einsteinian gravity from a topological action
Eckehard W. Mielke on Thu, 15 Jul 2010 18:44:11 GMT:
Topological ideas in the realm of gravity date back to Riemann, Clifford and Weyl and found a more concrete realization in the wormholes of Wheeler characterized by the Euler-Poincare invariant. They result from attaching handles to black holes.Observationally, Einstein's general relativity (GR) is rather well established for the solar system and double pulsars. However, in GR the metric plays a double role: Measuring distances in spacetime and serving as a gravitational potential...
Interference Effects
Babur M. Mirza on Mon, 12 Jul 2010 14:55:27 GMT:
Due to interference, the spacetime around a highly dense star may posseses regions where probabilityof locating a particle is higher than in others. In these regions the particle energy emission is locally maximum. Thus during accretion (particle in-fall) radiation emission must oscillate between local maxima and minima. Such effects may be particularly enhanced near strong energy sources. These regions may also possibly form and effect particle accretion near gravitational sources....

Stochastic resonance and coherence are phenomena observed in dynamical systems subject to noisy fluctuations. Stochastic resonance refers to a situation when together with noise, some periodic stimulus is applied to the system. Then, at some optimum noise amplitude the system resonates with the frequency of the external stimulation. In the case of the stochastic coherence, the system response become most coherent (periodic) even in the absence of an additional external stimulation....

Recurrence network analysis is a combination of recurrence analysis of time series and complex network statistics (Marwan et al. 2009). The basic idea is to identify the recurrence matrix of a time series or, in general, of a dynamical system with the adjacency matrix of a complex network (but with additional removing the identity in order to avoid self-loopes):A(i,j) = R(i,j) – δ(i,j).This allows to calculate statistical measures coming of complex network theory in order to describe...

The Universal Plausbility Metric (UPM) and Principle (UPP)
David L Abel on Thu, 14 Jan 2010 23:15:23 GMT:
The Universal Plausibility Metric [1] is an objective quantification of the plausibility of extremely low-probability chance hypotheses, models, theories and scenarios. The fact that a possibility has an extremely low probability of occurrence does not necessarily establish its implausibility. Mere possibility, on the other hand, is not an adequate basis for asserting scientific plausibility. Thus a method of objectively measuring the plausibility of any chance hypothesis is needed....
Fractional calculus group theory in high energy and particle physics
Richard Herrmann on Wed, 23 Feb 2011 11:22:02 GMT:
During the last 10 years the interest of physicists in non-local field theories has been steadily increasing. The main reason for this development is the expectation, that the use of these field theories will lead to a much more elegant and effective way of treating problems in particle and high-energy physics, as it is possible up to now with local field theories.A particular subgroup of non-local field theories is described with operators of fractional nature and is specified...

Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) Spectroscopy
Alexander Benderskii on Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:31:38 GMT:
Sum Frequency Generation (SFG) is a nonlinear optical technique used to study the details of molecular structure and dynamics at surfaces and interfaces. The extremely high surface selectivity of the SFG process allows researchers to focus on the thin layer of a few atoms or molecules near the interface, not the bulk media on either side.The physical principle behind this surface selectivity is that the even-order nonlinear processes such as SFG are forbidden (in the electric...

Ehrhardt Matthias on Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:16:08 GMT:
When computing numerically the solution of a linear or nonlinear partial differential equation in an unbounded domain, a fictitious boundary are usually introduced to limit the computational domain. Special boundary conditions are derived at this boundary to approximate the exact whole-space solution. If the solution of the problem on the bounded domain is equal to the whole-space solution (restricted to the computational domain) these boundary conditions are called exact or transparent...
