LOCV calculation of the equation of state and properties of rapidly rotating neutron stars

In this paper, we have investigated the structural properties of rotating neutron stars using the numerical RNS code and the equation of states which have been calculated within the lowest order constrained variational approach. In order to calculate the equation of state of nuclear matter, we have used UV$_{14}$ $+$TNI and AV$_{18}$ potentials. Here, we have computed the maximum mass of the neutron star and the corresponding equatorial radius at different angular velocity. We have also computed the structural properties of Keplerian rotating neutron star for maximum mass configuration, $M_{K}$, $R_{K}$, $f_{K}$ and $j_{max}$.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure

A Two-Dimensional CA Traffic Model with Dynamic Route Choices Between Residence and Workplace

The Biham, Middleton and Levine (BML) model is extended to describe dynamic route choices between the residence and workplace in cities. The traffic dynamic in the city with a single workplace is studied from the velocity diagram, arrival time probability distribution, destination arrival rate and convergence time. The city with double workplaces is also investigated to compared with a single workplace within the framework of four modes of urban growth. The transitional region is found in the velocity diagrams where the system undergoes a continuous transition from a moving phase to a completely jamming phase. We perform a finite-size scaling analysis of the critical density from a statistical point of view and the order parameter of this jamming transition is estimated. It is also found that statistical properties of urban traffic are greatly influenced by the urban area, workplace area and urban layout.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figure

Vehicular traffic flow at an intersection with the possibility of turning

We have developed a Nagel-Schreckenberg cellular automata model for describing of vehicular traffic flow at a single intersection. A set of traffic lights operating in fixed-time scheme controls the traffic flow. Open boundary condition is applied to the streets each of which conduct a uni-directional flow. Streets are single-lane and cars can turn upon reaching to the intersection with prescribed probabilities. Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to find the model flow characteristics. In particular, we investigate the flows dependence on the signalisation parameters, turning probabilities and input rates. It is shown that for each set of parameters, there exist a plateau region inside which the total outflow from the intersection remains almost constant. We also compute total waiting time of vehicles per cycle behind red lights for various control parameters.Comment: 8 pages, 17 eps figures, Late
