    Indirect force measurement technique estimates unsteady forces acting on elastic model during wind tunnel tests. Measurement of forces is practically insensitive to errors in aeroelastic scaling between model and full-scale structure, simplifying design, fabrication and dynamic calibration

    Dynamics of entanglement in the transverse Ising model

    Full text link
    We study the evolution of nearest-neighbor entanglement in the one dimensional Ising model with an external transverse field. The system is initialized as the so called "thermal ground state" of the pure Ising model. We analyze properties of generation of entanglement for different regions of external transverse fields. We find that the derivation of the time at which the entanglement reaches its first maximum with respect to the reciprocal transverse field has a minimum at the critical point. This is a new indicator of quantum phase transition.Comment: To be published in PR

    Complications of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy in dogs and cats receiving corticosteroid treatment

    BACKGROUND: Corticosteroid treatment is commonly required in veterinary patients for treatment of inflammatory, immune‐mediated, neurologic, and neoplastic diseases, which also may require assisted enteral nutrition via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate complications associated with PEG use in dogs and cats receiving corticosteroid treatment. ANIMALS: Forty‐two animals were included in the study: 12 dogs and 2 cats in the steroid group and 26 dogs and 2 cats in the control group. METHODS: Medical records, between January 2006 and March 2015, were reviewed. Patients were included if the PEG tube was in use for at least 24 hours and if complete medical records were available. Patients were assigned to the control group if they were not treated with corticosteroids during PEG use or to the steroid group if they had received corticosteroids during PEG tube use. Complications were classified as minor, moderate, and major in severity. Maximum severity complication rate was compared between groups. RESULTS: The general prevalence of complications was found to be similar between groups (P = .306), but in the steroid group, 43% of the cases developed a major severity complication compared with 18% of the control group (P = .054). CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE: Owners of dogs and cats receiving corticosteroids, in which PEG is planned, should be counseled about possible complications beyond those associated with PEG tube usage alone

    Multifrequency Aperture-Synthesizing Microwave Radiometer System (MFASMR). Volume 2: Appendix

    Get PDF
    A number of topics supporting the systems analysis of a multifrequency aperture-synthesizing microwave radiometer system are discussed. Fellgett's (multiple) advantage, interferometer mapping behavior, mapping geometry, image processing programs, and sampling errors are among the topics discussed. A FORTRAN program code is given

    Circulating and persistent currents induced by a current magnification and Aharonov-Casher phase

    Get PDF
    We considered the circulating current induced by the current magnification and the persistent current induced by Aharonov-Casher flux. The persistent currents have directional dependence on the direct current flow, but the circulating currents have no directional dependence. Hence in the equilibrium, only the persistent current can survives on the ring. For the charge current, the persistent charge current cancelled between spin up and down states, because of the time reversal symmetry of the Hamiltonian on the ring. So there are only circulating charge currents on the ring for electrons with unpolarized spin in the nonequilibrium. However, only the persistent spin currents contributes to the spin currents for electrons with unpolarized spin.Comment: 9 pages and 4 ps figure

    Metal-Insulator Transition Tuned by External Gates in Hall Systems with Constrictions

    Full text link
    The nature of a metal-insulator transition tuned by external gates in quantum Hall (QH) systems with point constrictions, as reported in recent experiments of Roddaro et al [1], is examined. We attribute this phenomenon to a splitting of the integer edge into conducting and insulating stripes, the latter wide enough to allow for the stability of the edge structure. Inter-channel impurity scattering and inter-channel Coulomb interactions do not destabilize this picture.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figure

    Analytical Results for Cold Asymmetrical Fermion Superfluids at the Mean-Field Level

    Full text link
    We present the analytical results at the mean-field level for the asymmetrical fermion system with attractive contact interaction at the zero temperature. The results can be expressed in terms of linear combinations of the elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds. In the limit of small gap parameter, we discuss how the asymmetry in fermion species affects the phases of the ground state. In the limit of large gap parameter, we show that two candidate phases are competing for the system's ground state. The Sarma phase containing a pure Fermi fluid and a mixed condensate is favored at large degree of asymmetry. The separated phase consisting of a pure Fermi fluid and a boson condensate supports the system at smaller degree of asymmetry. The two phases are degenerate in the limit of infinite pairing gap.Comment: 23 pages, no figur

    The Quantum Hall Effect: Unified Scaling Theory and Quasi-particles at the Edge

    Full text link
    We address two fundamental issues in the physics of the quantum Hall effect: a unified description of scaling behavior of conductances in the integral and fractional regimes, and a quasi-particle formulation of the chiral Luttinger Liquids that describe the dynamics of edge excitations in the fractional regime.Comment: 11 pages, LateX, 2 figures (not included, available from the authors), to be published in Proceedings of the International Summer School on Strongly Correlated Electron Systems, Lajos Kossuth University, Debrecen, Hungary, Sept 199

    Multifrequency Aperture-Synthesizing Microwave Radiometer System (MFASMR). Volume 1

    Get PDF
    Background material and a systems analysis of a multifrequency aperture - synthesizing microwave radiometer system is presented. It was found that the system does not exhibit high performance because much of the available thermal power is not used in the construction of the image and because the image that can be formed has a resolution of only ten lines. An analysis of image reconstruction is given. The system is compared with conventional aperture synthesis systems
