Charged Anisotropic Star on Paraboloidal Spacetime

The charged anisotropic star on paraboloidal spacetime is reported by choosing particular form of radial pressure and electric field intensity. The non-singular solution of Einstein-Maxwell system of equation have been derived and it is shown that model satisfy all the physical plausibility conditions. It is observed that in the absence of electric field intensity, model reduces to particular case of uncharged Sharma \& Ratanpal model. It is also observed that the parameter used in electric field intensity directly effects the mass of the star.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, Accepted for Publication in Pramana Journal of Physic

Investigating the sterile neutrino parameters with QLC in 3 + 1 scenario

In the scenario with four generation quarks and leptons and using a 3 + 1 neutrino model having one sterile and the three standard active neutrinos with a $4 \times 4$ unitary transformation matrix, $U_{PMNS_{4}}$, we perform a model-based analysis using the latest global data and determine bounds on the sterile neutrino parameters i.e. the neutrino mixing angles. Motivated by our previous results, where, in a quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) model we predicted the values of $\theta_{13}^{PMNS}=(9_{-2}^{+1})^{\circ}$ and $\theta_{23}^{PMNS}=(40.60_{-0.3}^{+0.1})^{\circ}$. In the QLC model the non-trivial correlation between $CKM_4$ and $PMNS_4$ mixing matrix is given by the correlation matrix $V_{c_{4}}$. Monte Carlo simulations are performed to estimate the texture of $V_{c4}$ followed by the calculation of $PMNS_4$ using the equation, $U_{PMNS_{4}}= (U_{CKM_{4}} . \psi_{4})^{-1}.V_{c_{4}}$, where $\psi_{4}$ is a diagonal phase matrix. The sterile neutrino mixing angles, $\theta_{14}^{PMNS}$, $\theta_{24}^{PMNS}$ and $\theta_{34}^{PMNS}$ are assumed to be freely varying between $(0-\pi/4)$ and obtained results which are consistent with the data available from various experiments, like No$\nu$A, MINOS, SuperK, Ice Cube-DeepCore. In further investigation, we analytically obtain approximately similar ranges for various neutrino mixing parameters $\mid{ U_{\mu 4}}\mid ^2$ and $\mid{ U_{\tau 4}}\mid ^2$.Comment: 16 pages, 4 tables, 7 figures(with subfigures, total 14 figures

Model Predictive BESS Control for Demand Charge Management and PV-Utilization Improvement

Adoption of battery energy storage systems for behind-the-meters application offers valuable benefits for demand charge management as well as increasing PV-utilization. The key point is that while the benefit/cost ratio for a single application may not be favorable for economic benefits of storage systems, stacked services can provide multiple revenue streams for the same investment. Under this framework, we propose a model predictive controller to reduce demand charge cost and enhance PV-utilization level simultaneously. Different load patterns have been considered in this study and results are compared to the conventional rule-based controller. The results verified that the proposed controller provides satisfactory performance by improving the PV-utilization rate between 60% to 80% without significant changes in demand charge (DC) saving. Furthermore, our results suggest that batteries can be used for stacking multiple services to improve their benefits. Quantitative analysis for PV-utilization as a function of battery size and prediction time window has also been carried out.Comment: Accepted in: Conference on Innovative Smart Grid Technology (ISGT), Washington, DC, 201

Interval type-2 fuzzy automata and Interval type-2 fuzzy grammar

The purpose of the present work is to introduce and study the concept of interval type-2 (IT2) fuzzy grammar which recognizes the given IT2 fuzzy languages. The relationship between IT2 fuzzy automata and IT2 fuzzy (weak) regular grammars is discussed. Specifically, the results we obtained here are (i ) IT2 fuzzy weak regular grammar and IT2 fuzzy regular grammar generate the same classes of IT2 fuzzy languages (ii ) for a given IT2 fuzzy regular grammars, there exists an IT2 fuzzy automata such that they accept the same IT2 fuzzy languages, and vice versa. In addition, we define some operations on IT2 fuzzy languages and it is shown that IT2 fuzzy languages recognized by IT2 fuzzy automata are closed under the operations of union, intersection, concatenation and Kleene closure, but are not closed under complement

Space-time codes with controllable ML decoding complexity for any number of transmit antennas

We construct a class of linear space-time block codes for any number of transmit antennas that have controllable ML decoding complexity with a maximum rate of 1 symbol per channel use. The decoding complexity for $M$ transmit antennas can be varied from ML decoding of $2^{\lceil \log_2M \rceil -1}$ symbols together to single symbol ML decoding. For ML decoding of $2^{\lceil \log_2M \rceil - n}$ ($n=1,2,...$) symbols together, a diversity of $\min(M,2^{\lceil \log_2M \rceil-n+1})$ can be achieved. Numerical results show that the performance of the constructed code when $2^{\lceil \log_2M \rceil-1}$ symbols are decoded together is quite close to the performance of ideal rate-1 orthogonal codes (that are non-existent for more than 2 transmit antennas).Comment: 5 pages, to appear in ISIT, June 2007, Nice, Franc

Bound State Solutions of Klein-Gordon Equation with the Kratzer Potential

The relativistic problem of spinless particle subject to a Kratzer potential is analyzed. Bound state solutions for the s-wave are found by separating the Klein-Gordon equation in two parts, unlike the similar works in the literature, which provides one to see explicitly the relativistic contributions, if any, to the solution in the non-relativistic limit.Comment: 6 page
