    Short Range Interactions in the Hydrogen Atom

    In calculating the energy corrections to the hydrogen levels we can identify two different types of modifications of the Coulomb potential VCV_{C}, with one of them being the standard quantum electrodynamics corrections, δV\delta V, satisfying δVVC\left|\delta V\right|\ll\left|V_{C}\right| over the whole range of the radial variable rr. The other possible addition to VCV_{C} is a potential arising due to the finite size of the atomic nucleus and as a matter of fact, can be larger than VCV_{C} in a very short range. We focus here on the latter and show that the electric potential of the proton displays some undesirable features. Among others, the energy content of the electric field associated with this potential is very close to the threshold of e+ee^+e^- pair production. We contrast this large electric field of the Maxwell theory with one emerging from the non-linear Euler-Heisenberg theory and show how in this theory the short range electric field becomes smaller and is well below the pair production threshold

    Corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and deferred checks in Argentina

    We describe the evolution of three types of corporate securities in Argentina, namely, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and deferred checks. Corporate bonds (obligaciones negociables) were legally authorized in 1988, and after a tax reform in 1991 they became an important financing vehicle. Asset backed securities (fideicomisos), legally created in 1995, have been issued since 1996. They typically bundle together small credits of a similar category. Deferred checks (cheques de pago diferido) exist since 1993, alongside standard checks. They can be negotiated on the exchange since 2003, and are akin to commercial paper. Corporate bonds have been overwhelmingly issued by large firms and banks, with an average issue size of 53 million dollars. Asset backed securities have an average value of 9 million dollars. Deferred checks are typically used by smaller firms, and those traded on the exchange of the Buenos Aires board of trade have an average value of 9 thousand dollars.private securities, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, deferred checks

    Phase diagram of silicon from atomistic simulations

    In this letter we present a calculation of the temperature-pressure phase diagram of Si in a range of pressures covering from -5 to 20 GPa and temperatures up to the melting point. The phase boundaries and triple points between the diamond, liquid, β\beta-Sn and Si34{Si}_{34} clathrate phases are reported. We have employed efficient simulation techniques to calculate free energies and to numerically integrate the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, combined with a tight binding model capable of an accuracy comparable to that of first-principles methods. The resulting phase diagram agrees well with the available experimental data.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, accepted in PR

    Lorentz Contracted Proton

    The proton charge and magnetization density distributions can be related to the well known Sachs electromagnetic form factors GE,M(q2)G_{E,M}({\bm q}^{2}) through Fourier transforms, only in the Breit frame. The Breit frame however moves with relativistic velocities in the Lab and a Lorentz boost must be applied to the form factors before extracting the static properties of the proton from the corresponding densities. Apart from this, the Fourier transform relating the densities and form factors is inherently a non-relativistic expression. We show that the relativistic corrections to it can be obtained by extending the standard Breit equation to higher orders in its 1/c21/c^2 expansion. We find that the inclusion of the above corrections reduces the size of the proton determined from electron proton scattering data. Indeed the central value of the latest proton radius of rp=0.879r_p = 0.879 fm as determined from e-p scattering changes to rp=0.8404r_p = 0.8404 fm after applying corrections.Comment: 15 page

    New biparametric families of apostol-frobenius-euler polynomials of level m

    Get PDF
    We introduce two biparametric families of Apostol-Frobenius-Euler polynomials of level-mm. We give some algebraic properties, as well as some other identities which connect these polynomial class with the generalized λλ-Stirling type numbers of the second kind, the generalized Apostol--Bernoulli polynomials, the generalized Apostol--Genocchi polynomials, the generalized Apostol--Euler polynomials and Jacobi polynomials. Finally, we will show the differential properties of this new family of polynomials

    Unsupervised learning models-based CRM anomaly detection using GPU

    Deep learning models have improved several business intelligence tools like Customer relationship Management(CRM) systems. However, those models have increased the need for advanced computational capacity and infrastructure. Modern accelerators are starting to have floating-point precision arithmetic problems generated by highly streamlined systems, powered by the need to process an ever-increasing volume of data and increasingly complex models to attend to the necessity to identify customer data that allow consolidating products or services. We focus on CRM anomalies detection using GPU(Graphics Processor Unit) because they are a relevant source of money drain for organizations and directly affect the relationship between clients and suppliers. Our results present the combination of deep learning models with a computational structure that could access by organizations, but with a combination that reduces the number of features that achieve answers to CRM system.#AnáliticaDeDatosLos modelos de aprendizaje profundo han mejorado varias herramientas de inteligencia empresarial, como los sistemas de gestión de relaciones con el cliente (CRM).
