Any -state solutions of the Hulth\'en potential by the asymptotic iteration method
In this article, we present the analytical solution of the radial
Schr\"{o}dinger equation for the Hulth\'{e}n potential within the framework of
the asymptotic iteration method by using an approximation to the centrifugal
potential for any states. We obtain the energy eigenvalues and the
corresponding eigenfunctions for different screening parameters. The wave
functions are physical and energy eigenvalues are in good agreement with the
results obtained by other methods for different values. In order to
demonstrate this, the results of the asymptotic iteration method are compared
with the results of the supersymmetry, the numerical integration, the
variational and the shifted 1/N expansion methods.Comment: 14 pages and 1 figur
Multi-layer photovoltaic fault detection algorithm
This study proposes a fault detection algorithm based on the analysis of the theoretical curves which describe the behaviour of an existing grid-connected photovoltaic (GCPV) system. For a given set of working conditions, a number of attributes such as voltage ratio (VR) and power ratio (PR) are simulated using virtual instrumentation LabVIEW software. Furthermore, a third-order polynomial function is used to generate two detection limits (high and low limits) for the VR and PR ratios. The high and low detection limits are compared with real-time long-term data measurements from a 1.1 kWp GCPV system installed at the University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom. Furthermore, samples that lie out of the detecting limits are processed by a fuzzy logic classification system which consists of two inputs (VR and PR) and one output membership function. The obtained results show that the fault detection algorithm accurately detects different faults occurring in the PV system. The maximum detection accuracy (DA) of the proposed algorithm before considering the fuzzy logic system is equal to 95.27%; however, the fault DA is increased up to a minimum value of 98.8% after considering the fuzzy logic system
The rotating Morse potential model for diatomic molecules in the tridiagonal J-matrix representation: I. Bound states
This is the first in a series of articles in which we study the rotating
Morse potential model for diatomic molecules in the tridiagonal J-matrix
representation. Here, we compute the bound states energy spectrum by
diagonalizing the finite dimensional Hamiltonian matrix of H2, LiH, HCl and CO
molecules for arbitrary angular momentum. The calculation was performed using
the J-matrix basis that supports a tridiagonal matrix representation for the
reference Hamiltonian. Our results for these diatomic molecules have been
compared with available numerical data satisfactorily. The proposed method is
handy, very efficient, and it enhances accuracy by combining analytic power
with a convergent and stable numerical technique.Comment: 18 Pages, 6 Tables, 4 Figure
Any l-state improved quasi-exact analytical solutions of the spatially dependent mass Klein-Gordon equation for the scalar and vector Hulthen potentials
We present a new approximation scheme for the centrifugal term to obtain a
quasi-exact analytical bound state solutions within the framework of the
position-dependent effective mass radial Klein-Gordon equation with the scalar
and vector Hulth\'{e}n potentials in any arbitrary dimension and orbital
angular momentum quantum numbers The Nikiforov-Uvarov (NU) method is used
in the calculations. The relativistic real energy levels and corresponding
eigenfunctions for the bound states with different screening parameters have
been given in a closed form. It is found that the solutions in the case of
constant mass and in the case of s-wave () are identical with the ones
obtained in literature.Comment: 25 pages, 1 figur
Network of Earthquakes and Recurrences Therein
We quantify the correlation between earthquakes and use the same to
distinguish between relevant causally connected earthquakes. Our correlation
metric is a variation on the one introduced by Baiesi and Paczuski (2004). A
network of earthquakes is constructed, which is time ordered and with links
between the more correlated ones. Data pertaining to the California region has
been used in the study. Recurrences to earthquakes are identified employing
correlation thresholds to demarcate the most meaningful ones in each cluster.
The distribution of recurrence lengths and recurrence times are analyzed
subsequently to extract information about the complex dynamics. We find that
the unimodal feature of recurrence lengths helps to associate typical rupture
lengths with different magnitude earthquakes. The out-degree of the network
shows a hub structure rooted on the large magnitude earthquakes. In-degree
distribution is seen to be dependent on the density of events in the
neighborhood. Power laws are also obtained with recurrence time distribution
agreeing with the Omori law.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
Solution of spin-boson systems in one and two-dimensional geometry via the asymptotic iteration method
We consider solutions of the matrix Hamiltonian of physical
systems within the context of the asymptotic iteration method. Our technique is
based on transformation of the associated Hamiltonian in the form of the first
order coupled differential equations. We construct a general matrix Hamiltonian
which includes a wide class of physical models. The systematic study presented
here reproduces a number of earlier results in a natural way as well as leading
to new findings. Possible generalizations of the method are also suggested.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures. Please check "http://www1.gantep.edu.tr/~ozer/"

Bound state solutions of the Dirac-Rosen-Morse potential with spin and pseudospin symmetry
The energy spectra and the corresponding two- component spinor wavefunctions
of the Dirac equation for the Rosen-Morse potential with spin and pseudospin
symmetry are obtained. The wave ( state) solutions for this
problem are obtained by using the basic concept of the supersymmetric quantum
mechanics approach and function analysis (standard approach) in the
calculations. Under the spin symmetry and pseudospin symmetry, the energy
equation and the corresponding two-component spinor wavefunctions for this
potential and other special types of this potential are obtained. Extension of
this result to state is suggested.Comment: 18 page
Quantization rule solution to the Hulth\'en potential in arbitrary dimension by a new approximate scheme for the centrifugal term
The bound state energies and wave functions for a particle exposed to the
Hulth\'en potential field in the D-dimensional space are obtained within the
improved quantization rule for any arbitrary l state. The present approximation
scheme used to deal with the centrifugal term in the effective Hulth\'en
potential is systematic and accurate. The solutions for the three-dimensional
(D=3) case and the s-wave (l=0) case are briefly discussed.
Keywords: Hulth\'en potential, improved quantization rule, approximation
schemes.

Natural History and Outcome of Hepatic Vascular Malformations in a Large Cohort of Patients with Hereditary Hemorrhagic Teleangiectasia
BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is a genetic disease characterized by teleangiectasias involving virtually every organ. There are limited data in the literature regarding the natural history of liver vascular malformations in hemorrhagic telangiectasia and their associated morbidity and mortality.
AIM: This prospective cohort study sought to assess the outcome of liver involvement in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia patients.
METHODS: We analyzed 16 years of surveillance data from a tertiary hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia referral center in Italy. We considered for inclusion in this study 502 consecutive Italian patients at risk of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia who presented at the hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia referral center and underwent a multidisciplinary screening protocol for the diagnosis of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Of the 502 individuals assessed in the center, 154 had hepatic vascular malformations and were the subject of the study; 198 patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and without hepatic vascular malformations were the controls. Additionally, we report the response to treatment of patients with complicated hepatic vascular malformations.
RESULTS: The 154 patients were included and followed for a median period of 44 months (range 12-181); of these, eight (5.2%) died from VM-related complications and 39 (25.3%) experienced complications. The average incidence rates of death and complications were 1.1 and 3.6 per 100 person-years, respectively. The median overall survival and event-free survival after diagnosis were 175 and 90 months, respectively. The rate of complete response to therapy was 63%.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that substantial morbidity and mortality are associated with liver vascular malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia patients
