Flow properties of suspensions rich in solids
Mathematical evaluation of flow properties of fluids carrying high concentrations of solids in suspension relates suspension viscosity to physical properties of the solids and liquids, and provides a means for predicting flow behavior. A technique for calculating a suspensions flow rates is applicable to the design of pipelines
Inclusive hadron and photon production at LHC in dipole momentum space
Using a momentum space model for the dipole scattering amplitude we present
an analysis of the saturation effects at LHC energies, describing the data on
proton-proton and proton-lead collisions. The model is based on the asymptotic
solutions of the Balitsky-Kovchegov equation, being ideal in the saturation
domain where the target wave function has a high occupation number. We also
make predictions for the nuclear modification ratios on charged hadron and
prompt photon production in the forward region, where the high parton density
effects are important.Comment: New section added and typos corrected. To be published in PR
Gluon density in nuclei
In this talk we present our detail study ( theory and numbers) [1] on the
shadowing corrections to the gluon structure functions for nuclei. Starting
from rather contraversial information on the nucleon structure function which
is originated by the recent HERA data, we develop the Glauber approach for the
gluon density in a nucleus based on Mueller formula [2] and estimate the value
of the shadowing corrections in this case. Than we calculate the first
corrections to the Glauber approach and show that these corrections are big.
Based on this practical observation we suggest the new evolution equation which
takes into account the shadowing corrections and solve it. We hope to convince
you that the new evolution equation gives a good theoretical tool to treat the
shadowing corrections for the gluons density in a nucleus and, therefore, it is
able to provide the theoretically reliable initial conditions for the time
evolution of the nucleus - nucleus cascade.Comment: Talk at RHIC'96, 43 pages, 23 figure
Unitarity Corrections to the Proton Structure Functions through the Dipole Picture
We study the dipole picture for the description of the deep inelastic
scattering, focusing on the structure functions which are driven directly by
the gluon distribution. One performs estimates using the effective dipole cross
section given by the Glauber-Mueller approach in QCD, which encodes the
corrections due to the unitarity effects associated with the saturation
phenomenon. We also address issues about frame invariance of the calculations
when analysing the observables.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures. Version to be published in Phys. Rev.
AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF SUBTHERAPEUTIC ANTIBIOTIC USE IN PORK PRODUCTION
There is growing concern among public health experts regarding the diminishing efficacy of antimicrobial therapy in human and veterinary medicine, and some have called for a ban on subtherapeutic antibiotic use in pork production. This paper develops an econometric analysis to identify the economic contributions of subtherapeutic antibiotic use in swine production.Livestock Production/Industries,
Scaling violation and shadowing corrections at HERA
We study the value of shadowing corrections (SC) in HERA kinematic region in
Glauber - Mueller approach. Since the Glauber - Mueller approach was proven in
perturbative QCD in the double logarithmic approximation (DLA), we develop the
DLA approach for deep inelastic structure function which takes into account the
SC. Our estimates show small SC for in HERA kinematic region while they
turn out to be sizable for the gluon structure function. We compare our
estimates with those for gluon distribution in leading order (LO) and next to
leading order (NLO) in the DGLAP evolution equations.Comment: 9pp,6 figures in eps file
Momentum space saturation model for deep inelastic scattering and single inclusive hadron production
We show how the AGBS model, originally developed for deep inelastic
scattering applied to HERA data on the proton structure function, can also
describe the RHIC data on single inclusive hadron yield for and
collisions through a new simultaneous fit. The single inclusive hadron
production is modeled through the color glass condensate, which uses the
quark(and gluon)--condensate amplitudes in momentum space. The AGBS model is
also a momentum space model based on the asymptotic solutions of the BK
equation, although a different definition of the Fourier transform is used.
This aspect is overcome and a description entirely in transverse momentum of
both processes arises for the first time. The small difference between the
simultaneous fit and the one for HERA data alone suggests that the AGBS model
describes very well both kind of processes and thus emerges as a good tool to
investigate the inclusive hadron production data. We use this model for
predictions at LHC energies, which agree very well with available experimental
data.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Tip cap for a rotor blade
A replaceable tip cap for attachment to the end of a rotor blade is described. The tip cap includes a plurality of walls defining a compartment which, if desired, can be divided into a plurality of subcompartments. The tip cap can include inlet and outlet holes in walls thereof to permit fluid communication of a cooling fluid there through. Abrasive material can be attached with the radially outer wall of the tip cap
THE INFLUENCE OF SALMONELLA IN PIGS PRE-HARVEST ON SALMONELLA HUMAN HEALTH COSTS AND RISK FROM PORK
Salmonellosis in people is a costly disease, much of it occurring because of food associated exposure. We develop a farm-to-fork model which estimates the pork associated Salmonella risk and human health costs. This analysis focuses on the components of the pork production chain up to the point of producing a chilled pork carcass. Sensitivity and scenario analysis show that changes that occur in Salmonella status during processing are substantially more important for human health risk and have a higher benefit/cost ratio for application of strategies that control Salmonella compared with on-farm strategies.Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
Aspects of the Unitarized Soft Multipomeron Approach in DIS and Diffraction
We study in detail the main features of the unitarized Regge model (CFKS),
recently proposed to describe the small- domain. It takes into account a
two-component description with two types of unitarized contributions: one is
the multiple pomeron exchange contribution, interacting with the large dipole
configurations, and the other one consists of a unitarized dipole cross
section, describing the interaction with the small size dipoles. We analyze the
ratio between soft and hard pieces as a function of the virtuality, and also
compare the resulting dipole cross section to that from the saturation model.
Diffraction dissociation is also considered, showing the scaling violations in
diffractive DIS and estimating the corresponding logarithmic slope.Comment: 14 pages, 5 postscript figures. Version to be published in Eur. Phys.
