Wind tunnel buffet load measuring technique
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
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
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
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
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
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
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

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