The Casimir effect for parallel plates at finite temperature in the presence of one fractal extra compactified dimension
We discuss the Casimir effect for massless scalar fields subject to the
Dirichlet boundary conditions on the parallel plates at finite temperature in
the presence of one fractal extra compactified dimension. We obtain the Casimir
energy density with the help of the regularization of multiple zeta function
with one arbitrary exponent and further the renormalized Casimir energy density
involving the thermal corrections. It is found that when the temperature is
sufficiently high, the sign of the Casimir energy remains negative no matter
how great the scale dimension is within its allowed region. We derive
and calculate the Casimir force between the parallel plates affected by the
fractal additional compactified dimension and surrounding temperature. The
stronger thermal influence leads the force to be stronger. The nature of the
Casimir force keeps attractive.Comment: 14 pages, 2 figure
A similarity law for stressing rapidly heated thin-walled cylinders
When a thin cylindrical shell of uniform thickness is very rapidly heated by hot high-pressure gas flowing inside the shell, the temperature of material decreases steeply from a high temperature at the inside surface to ambient temperatures at the outside surface. Young's modulus of material thus varies. The purpose of the present paper is to reduce the problem of stress analysis of such a cylinder to an equivalent problem in conventional cylindrical shell without temperature gradient in the wall. The equivalence concept is expressed as a series of relations between the quantities for the hot cylinder and the quantities for the cold cylinder. These relations give the similarity law whereby strains for the hot cylinder can be simply deduced from measured strains on the cold cylinder and thus greatly simplify the problem of experimental stress analysis
A computer solution for the dynamic load, lubricant film thickness, and surface temperatures in spiral-bevel gears
A computer method for determining the dynamic load between spiral bevel pinion and gear teeth contact along the path of contact is described. The dynamic load analysis governs both the surface temperature and film thickness. Computer methods for determining the surface temperature, and film thickness are presented along with results obtained for a pair of typical spiral bevel gears
Implications of Recent Measurements
The recent measurements of the color-suppressed modes imply non-vanishing relative final-state interaction (FSI)
phases among various decay amplitudes. Depending on whether or
not FSIs are implemented in the topological quark-diagram amplitudes, two
solutions for the parameters and are extracted from data using
various form-factor models. It is found that is not universal:
and with a relative phase
of order between and . If FSIs are not included in
quark-diagram amplitudes from the outset, and
will become smaller. The large value of compared to
or naive expectation implies the importance of
long-distance FSI contributions to color-suppressed internal -emission via
final-state rescatterings of the color-allowed tree amplitude.Comment: 17 pages. The Introduction is substantially revised and the order of

On the Casimir effect for parallel plates in the spacetime with one extra compactified dimension
In this paper, the Casimir effect for parallel plates in the presence of one
compactified universal extra dimension is reexamined in detail. Having
regularized the expressions of Casimir force, we show that the nature of
Casimir force is repulsive if the distance between the plates is large enough,
which is disagree with the experimental phenomena.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure
Final stare interaction enhancement effect on the near threshold p\bar p system in B^\pm\to p\bar p \p^\pm decay
We discuss the low-mass enhancement effect in the baryon-antibaryon invariant
mass in three-body baryonic B decays using final state interactions in the
framework of Regge theory. We show that the rescattering between baryonic pair
can reproduce the observed mass spectrum.Comment: 7 pages, 11 figure
Design of Novel Algorithm and Architecture for Gaussian Based Color Image Enhancement System for Real Time Applications
This paper presents the development of a new algorithm for Gaussian based
color image enhancement system. The algorithm has been designed into
architecture suitable for FPGA/ASIC implementation. The color image enhancement
is achieved by first convolving an original image with a Gaussian kernel since
Gaussian distribution is a point spread function which smoothen the image.
Further, logarithm-domain processing and gain/offset corrections are employed
in order to enhance and translate pixels into the display range of 0 to 255.
The proposed algorithm not only provides better dynamic range compression and
color rendition effect but also achieves color constancy in an image. The
design exploits high degrees of pipelining and parallel processing to achieve
real time performance. The design has been realized by RTL compliant Verilog
coding and fits into a single FPGA with a gate count utilization of 321,804.
The proposed method is implemented using Xilinx Virtex-II Pro XC2VP40-7FF1148
FPGA device and is capable of processing high resolution color motion pictures
of sizes of up to 1600x1200 pixels at the real time video rate of 116 frames
per second. This shows that the proposed design would work for not only still
images but also for high resolution video sequences.Comment: 15 pages, 15 figure
Quantum superchemistry in an output coupler of coherent matter waves
We investigate the quantum superchemistry or Bose-enhanced atom-molecule
conversions in a coherent output coupler of matter waves, as a simple
generalization of the two-color photo-association. The stimulated effects of
molecular output step and atomic revivals are exhibited by steering the rf
output couplings. The quantum noise-induced molecular damping occurs near a
total conversion in a levitation trap. This suggests a feasible two-trap scheme
to make a stable coherent molecular beam.Comment: 3 figures, accepted by Phys.Rev.A (submitted to prl in July,

A review of personal communications services
This article can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2009 Nova Science Publishers, LtdPCS is an acronym for Personal Communications Service. PCS has two layers of
meaning. At the low layer, from the technical perspective, PCS is a 2G mobile
communication technology operating at the 1900 MHz frequency range. At the upper
layer, PCS is often used as an umbrella term that includes various wireless access and
personal mobility services with the ultimate goal of enabling users to freely communicate
with anyone at anytime and anywhere according to their demand. Ubiquitous PCS can be implemented by integrating the wireless and wireline systems on the basis of intelligent network (IN), which provides network functions of terminal and personal mobility. In this chapter, we focus on various aspects of PCS except location management. First we describe the motivation and technological evolution for personal communications. Then we introduce three key issues related to PCS: spectrum allocation, mobility, and standardization efforts. Since PCS involves several different communication
technologies, we introduce its heterogeneous and distributed system architecture. IN is
also described in detail because it plays a critical role in the development of PCS. Finally, we introduce the application of PCS and its deployment status since the mid-term of 1990’s.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China
