Основная статьяThe problem of latent mastitis identification in livestock enterprises is analyzed. The necessity of automatizing the mastitis identification process is shown. Biological methods for determining the presence of the disease are considered in the article. Common methods of data fusion for the extraction of an informative trait is analyzed in the work. A new algorithm for identifying mastitis in animals based on data fusion from the livestock enterprise sensors is proposed. The developed algorithm as compared to the conventional method of determining mastitis increases the accuracy of the disease's identification by 6.5 percent

Generation of Collisionless Shocks by Laser-Plasma Piston in Magnetised Background: Experiment “BUW”

Theoretical basis and main results of the first successful large-scale, Laser-Plasma experiment “BUW”, on generation of Collisionless Shock Wave in magnetised Background Plasma, are presented. Our classic approach is based on the action of so called Magnetic Laminar Mechanism (or Larmor coupling) for collisionless interaction between interpenetrating super-Alfvenic plasma flows of Laser-Plasma and Background in transverse magnetic field

Development of a Superconducting Differential Double Contour Interferometer

We study operation of a new device, the superconducting differential double contour interferometer (DDCI), in application for the ultra sensitive detection of magnetic flux and for digital read out of the state of the superconducting flux qubit. DDCI consists of two superconducting contours weakly coupled by Josephson Junctions. In such a device a change of the critical current and the voltage happens in a step-like manner when the angular momentum quantum number changes in one of the two contours. The DDCI may outperform traditional Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices when the change of the quantum number occurs in a narrow magnetic field region near the half of the flux quantum due to thermal fluctuations, quantum fluctuations, or the switching a loop segment in the normal state for a while by short pulse of an external current.Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures, A version of the article has been accepted for publication in Nano Letter

Proof of the multi-Regge form of QCD amplitudes with gluon exchanges in the NLA

The multi--Regge form of QCD amplitudes with gluon exchanges is proved in the next-to-leading approximation. The proof is based on the bootstrap relations, which are required for the compatibility of this form with the s-channel unitarity. We show that the fulfillment of all these relations ensures the Reggeized form of energy dependent radiative corrections order by order in perturbation theory. Then we prove that all these relations are fulfilled if several bootstrap conditions on the Reggeon vertices and trajectory hold true. Now all these conditions are checked and proved to be satisfied.Comment: 15 page

A new variational approach to the stability of gravitational systems

We consider the three dimensional gravitational Vlasov Poisson system which describes the mechanical state of a stellar system subject to its own gravity. A well-known conjecture in astrophysics is that the steady state solutions which are nonincreasing functions of their microscopic energy are nonlinearly stable by the flow. This was proved at the linear level by several authors based on the pioneering work by Antonov in 1961. Since then, standard variational techniques based on concentration compactness methods as introduced by P.-L. Lions in 1983 have led to the nonlinear stability of subclasses of stationary solutions of ground state type. In this paper, inspired by pioneering works from the physics litterature (Lynden-Bell 94, Wiechen-Ziegler-Schindler MNRAS 88, Aly MNRAS 89), we use the monotonicity of the Hamiltonian under generalized symmetric rearrangement transformations to prove that non increasing steady solutions are local minimizer of the Hamiltonian under equimeasurable constraints, and extract compactness from suitable minimizing sequences. This implies the nonlinear stability of nonincreasing anisotropic steady states under radially symmetric perturbations

Dynamical stability of infinite homogeneous self-gravitating systems: application of the Nyquist method

We complete classical investigations concerning the dynamical stability of an infinite homogeneous gaseous medium described by the Euler-Poisson system or an infinite homogeneous stellar system described by the Vlasov-Poisson system (Jeans problem). To determine the stability of an infinite homogeneous stellar system with respect to a perturbation of wavenumber k, we apply the Nyquist method. We first consider the case of single-humped distributions and show that, for infinite homogeneous systems, the onset of instability is the same in a stellar system and in the corresponding barotropic gas, contrary to the case of inhomogeneous systems. We show that this result is true for any symmetric single-humped velocity distribution, not only for the Maxwellian. If we specialize on isothermal and polytropic distributions, analytical expressions for the growth rate, damping rate and pulsation period of the perturbation can be given. Then, we consider the Vlasov stability of symmetric and asymmetric double-humped distributions (two-stream stellar systems) and determine the stability diagrams depending on the degree of asymmetry. We compare these results with the Euler stability of two self-gravitating gaseous streams. Finally, we determine the corresponding stability diagrams in the case of plasmas and compare the results with self-gravitating systems

Orbital stability of spherical galactic models

International audienceWe consider the three dimensional gravitational Vlasov Poisson system which is a canonical model in astrophysics to describe the dynamics of galactic clusters. A well known conjecture is the stability of spherical models which are nonincreasing radially symmetric steady states solutions. This conjecture was proved at the linear level by several authors in the continuation of the breakthrough work by Antonov in 1961. In a previous work, we derived the stability of anisotropic models under {\it spherically symmetric perturbations} using fundamental monotonicity properties of the Hamiltonian under suitable generalized symmetric rearrangements first observed in the physics litterature. In this work, we show how this approach combined with a {\it new generalized} Antonov type coercivity property implies the orbital stability of spherical models under general perturbations

Search for direct production of charginos and neutralinos in events with three leptons and missing transverse momentum in √s = 7 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb−1 of proton–proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions that are either depleted or enriched in Z-boson decays. Upper limits at 95% confidence level are set in R-parity conserving phenomenological minimal supersymmetric models and in simplified models, significantly extending previous results
