Meson decay in an independent quark model
Leptonic decay widths and leptonic decay constants of light vector mesons and
weak leptonic decay widths and weak decay constants of light and heavy
pseudoscalar mesons have been studied in a field- theoretic framework based on
the independent quark model with a scalar- vector power-law potential. The
results are in very good agreement with the experimental data.Comment: 13 page
Capacity Utilization in Indian Paper Industry
The study estimates the rate of capacity utilization for the Indian paper industry for the period 1973-74 to 1997-98 on the basis of the theoretical framework of variable cost function. It is based on the basic premise that deviation from full utilization of capacity takes place as the levels of certain inputs, particularly capital, are fixed in the short-run and thus can be changed only in the long-run. In order to meet the increase (decrease) in demand, the industry puts the existing capital to more (less) intensive use. The study undertakes empirical estimation of a translog variable cost function by considering three variable inputs, viz., labour, energy and raw material and one quasi-fixed input, capital, on the basis of aggregate industry level data taken from annual survey of industries. It is found that under- utilization of capacity prevails in the Indian paper industry and there has been a decline in the rate of capacity utilization over time.economic capacity utilization, equilibrium capital stock, Indian paper industry, temporary equilibrium, translog variable cost function
Anharmonic quantum contribution to vibrational dephasing
Based on a quantum Langevin equation and its corresponding Hamiltonian within
a c-number formalism we calculate the vibrational dephasing rate of a cubic
oscillator. It is shown that leading order quantum correction due to
anharmonicity of the potential makes a significant contribution to the rate and
the frequency shift. We compare our theoretical estimates with those obtained
from experiments for small diatomics , and .Comment: 21 pages, 1 figure and 1 tabl
Risks and remedies in e-learning system
One of the most effective applications of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) is the emergence of E-Learning. Considering the importance and
need of E-Learning, recent years have seen a drastic change of learning
methodologies in Higher Education. Undoubtedly, the three main entities of
E-Learning system can be considered as Student, Teacher & Controlling Authority
and there will be different level, but a good E-Learning system needs total
integrity among all entities in every level. Apart from integrity enforcement,
security enforcement in the whole system is the other crucial way to organize
the it. As internet is the backbone of the entire system which is inherently
insecure, during transaction of message in E-Learning system, hackers attack by
utilising different loopholes of technology. So different security measures are
required to be imposed on the system. In this paper, emphasis is given on
different risks called e-risks and their remedies called e-remedies to build
trust in the minds of all participants of E-Learning system
Information Theoretic Limits for Standard and One-Bit Compressed Sensing with Graph-Structured Sparsity
In this paper, we analyze the information theoretic lower bound on the
necessary number of samples needed for recovering a sparse signal under
different compressed sensing settings. We focus on the weighted graph model, a
model-based framework proposed by Hegde et al. (2015), for standard compressed
sensing as well as for one-bit compressed sensing. We study both the noisy and
noiseless regimes. Our analysis is general in the sense that it applies to any
algorithm used to recover the signal. We carefully construct restricted
ensembles for different settings and then apply Fano's inequality to establish
the lower bound on the necessary number of samples. Furthermore, we show that
our bound is tight for one-bit compressed sensing, while for standard
compressed sensing, our bound is tight up to a logarithmic factor of the number
of non-zero entries in the signal
