Are Magnetic Wind-Driving Disks Inherently Unstable?
There have been claims in the literature that accretion disks in which a
centrifugally driven wind is the dominant mode of angular momentum transport
are inherently unstable. This issue is considered here by applying an
equilibrium-curve analysis to the wind-driving, ambipolar diffusion-dominated,
magnetic disk model of Wardle & Konigl (1993). The equilibrium solution curves
for this class of models typically exhibit two distinct branches. It is argued
that only one of these branches represents unstable equilibria and that a real
disk/wind system likely corresponds to a stable solution.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, to be published in ApJ, vol. 617 (2004 Dec 20).

Hybrid Prototypes to Assist Modeling Automotive Seats
The development of new modular seats is an important issue in the automotive industry.
However, is very time consuming and costly. Virtual models and hybrid prototypes could
accelerate the car seats development process. The hybrid prototypes are mainly manufactured by
rapid prototyping with multi materials. The objective of this paper is to establish a methodology
to develop innovative lightweight multi-functional, modular car seats to be used in Multi-Purpose
Vehicles (MPV), by means of FEA simulation and rapid prototyping additive/subtractive
technologies utilizing multi materials. A case study is presented to validate the developed
methodology. The manufactured hybrid prototype’s reproduces the main functionalities of the
MPV modular seat, namely its three key positions: normal, stored and table.Mechanical Engineerin
Flavour changing strong interaction effects on top quark physics at the LHC
We perform a model independent analysis of the flavour changing strong
interaction vertices relevant to the LHC. In particular, the contribution of
dimension six operators to single top production in various production
processes is discussed, together with possible hints for identifying signals
and setting bounds on physics beyond the standard model.Comment: Authors corrections (references added
The extended minimal geometric deformation of SU() dark glueball condensates
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) procedure, in the
holographic membrane paradigm, is employed to model stellar distributions that
arise upon self-interacting scalar glueball dark matter condensation. Such
scalar glueballs are SU() Yang-Mills hidden sectors beyond the Standard
Model. Then, corrections to the gravitational wave radiation, emitted by
SU() EMGD dark glueball stars mergers, are derived, and their respective
spectra are studied in the EMGD framework, due to a phenomenological brane
tension with finite value. The bulk Weyl fluid that drives the EMGD is then
proposed to be experimentally detected by enhanced windows at the eLISA and
LIGO.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figure
Extended quantum portrait of MGD black holes and information entropy
The extended minimal geometric deformation (EMGD) is employed on the fluid
membrane paradigm, to describe compact stellar objects as Bose--Einstein
condensates (BEC) consisting of gravitons. The black hole quantum portrait,
besides deriving a preciser phenomenological bound for the fluid brane tension,
is then scrutinized from the point of view of the configurational entropy. It
yields a range for the critical density of the EMGD BEC, whose configurational
entropy has global minima suggesting the configurational stability of the EMGD
BEC.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, matches the published versio
Critical temperature of a fully anisotropic three-dimensional Ising model
The critical temperature of a three-dimensional Ising model on a simple cubic
lattice with different coupling strengths along all three spatial directions is
calculated via the transfer matrix method and a finite size scaling for L x L
oo clusters (L=2 and 3). The results obtained are compared with available
calculations. An exact analytical solution is found for the 2 x 2 oo Ising
chain with fully anisotropic interactions (arbitrary J_x, J_y and J_z).Comment: 17 pages in tex using preprint.sty for IOP journals, no figure
Fundamental Oscillation Periods of the Interlayer Exchange Coupling beyond the RKKY Approximation
A general method for obtaining the oscillation periods of the interlayer
exchange coupling is presented. It is shown that it is possible for the
coupling to oscillate with additional periods beyond the ones predicted by the
RKKY theory. The relation between the oscillation periods and the spacer Fermi
surface is clarified, showing that non-RKKY periods do not bear a direct
correspondence with the Fermi surface. The interesting case of a FCC(110)
structure is investigated, unmistakably proving the existence and relevance of
non-RKKY oscillations. The general conditions for the occurrence of non-RKKY
oscillations are also presented.Comment: 34 pages, 10 figures ; to appear in J. Phys.: Condens. Mat
