Self-generated Self-similar Traffic
Self-similarity in the network traffic has been studied from several aspects:
both at the user side and at the network side there are many sources of the
long range dependence. Recently some dynamical origins are also identified: the
TCP adaptive congestion avoidance algorithm itself can produce chaotic and long
range dependent throughput behavior, if the loss rate is very high. In this
paper we show that there is a close connection between the static and dynamic
origins of self-similarity: parallel TCPs can generate the self-similarity
themselves, they can introduce heavily fluctuations into the background traffic
and produce high effective loss rate causing a long range dependent TCP flow,
however, the dropped packet ratio is low.Comment: 8 pages, 12 Postscript figures, accepted in Nonlinear Phenomena in

Superconducting Gap Function in Antiferromagnetic Heavy-Fermion UPd_2Al_3 Probed by Angle Resolved Magnetothermal Transport Measurements
The superconducting gap structure of heavy fermion UPd_2Al_3, in which
unconventional superconductivity coexists with antiferromagnetic (AF) order
with atomic size local moments, was investigated by the thermal conductivity
measurements in a magnetic field rotating in various directions relative to the
crystal axes. The results provide strong evidence that the gap function
\Delta(k) has a single line node orthogonal to the c-axis located at the AF
Brillouin zone boundary, while \Delta(k) is isotropic within the basal plane.
The determined nodal structure is compatible with the resonance peak in the
dynamical susceptibility observed in neutron inelastic scattering experiments.
Based on these results, we conclude that the superconducting pairing function
of UPd_2Al_3 is most likely to be d-wave with a form \Delta(k)=\Delta_0

The Relationships Between Job Embeddedness, Person-Organization Fit, and Turnover Intention
This study aim to examine the relationships between job embeddedness, person-organization fit (POF), and turnover intention. Job embeddedness is a variety of conditions that make individuals feel attached to their job and organization. Person-organization fit is the compatibility between the characteristics of individuals and their organizations. Turnover intention is an employee’s conscious desire to leave his or her organization. This study was conducted among employees of a retail company in West Jakarta. The number of participants in this study was 177 employees. Data analysis was performed using Spearman correlation. Results show that job embeddedness was related to person-organization fit and turnover intention. However, there was no relationship between turnover intention and person-organization fit
Thermal transport in the hidden-order state of URuSi
We present a study of thermal conductivity in the normal state of the
heavy-fermion superconductor URuSi. Ordering at 18K leads to a
steep increase in thermal conductivity and (in contrast with all other cases of
magnetic ordering in heavy-fermion compounds) to an enhancement of the Lorenz
number. By linking this observation to several other previously reported
features, we conclude that most of the carriers disappear in the ordered state
and this leads to a drastic increase in both phononic and electronic
mean-free-path.Comment: 5 pages including 4 figure
Dynamical structure factors of two-leg spin ladder systems
We investigate dynamical properties of two-leg spin ladder systems.
In a strong coupling region, an isolated mode appears in the lowest excited
states, while in a weak coupling region, an isolated mode is reduced and the
lowest excited states become a lower bound of the excitation continuum. We find
in the system with equal intrachain and interchain couplings that due to a
cyclic four-spin interaction, the distribution of the weights for the dynamical
structure factor and characteristics of the lowest excited states are strongly
influenced. The dynamical properties of two systems proposed for are also discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Spin Fluctuation Induced Superconductivity Controlled by Orbital Fluctuation
A microscopic Hamiltonian reflecting the correct symmetry of -orbitals is
proposed to discuss superconductivity in heavy fermion systems. In the
orbitally degenerate region in which not only spin fluctuations but also
orbital fluctuations develop considerably, cancellation between spin and
orbital fluctuations destabilizes -wave superconductivity.
Entering the non-degenerate region by increasing the crystalline electric
field, -wave superconductivity mediated by antiferromagnetic
spin fluctuations emerges out of the suppression of orbital fluctuations. We
argue that the present scenario can be applied to recently discovered
superconductors CeTIn (T=Ir, Rh, and Co).Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
On the origin of the zero-resistance anomaly in heavy fermion superconducting Ir: a clue from magnetic field and Rh-doping studies
We present the results of the specific heat and AC magnetic susceptibility
measurements of for x from 0 to 0.5. As x is increased
from 0 both quantities reflect the competition between two effects. The first
is a suppression of superconductivity below the bulk transition temperature of
T K, which is due to the pair breaking effect of Rh impurities. The
second is an increase in the volume fraction of the superconducting regions
above T, which we attribute to defect-induced strain. Analysis of the H-T
phase diagram for CeIrInobtained from the bulk probes and resistance
measurements points to the filamentary origin of the inhomogeneous
superconductivity at T K, where the resistance drops to
zero. The identical anisotropies in the magnetic field dependence of the
specific heat and the resistance anomalies in CeIrIn indicate that the
filamentary superconductivity is intrinsic, involving electrons from the part
of the Fermi surface responsible for bulk superconductivity.Comment: 4 page
Unique Spin Dynamics and Unconventional Superconductivity in the Layered Heavy Fermion Compound CeIrIn_5:NQR Evidence
We report measurements of the ^{115}In nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate
(1/T_1) between T=0.09 K and 100 K in the new heavy fermion (HF) compound
CeIrIn_5. At 0.4 K < T < 100 K, 1/T_1 is strongly T-dependent, which indicates
that CeIrIn_5 is much more itinerant than known Ce-based HFs. We find that
1/T_1T, subtracting that for LaIrIn_5, follows a 1/(T+\theta)^{3/4} variation
with \theta=8 K. We argue that this novel feature points to anisotropic, due to
a layered crystal structure, spin fluctuations near a magnetic ordering. The
bulk superconductivity sets in at 0.40 K below which the coherence peak is
absent and 1/T_1 follows a T^3 variation, which suggests unconventional
superconductivity with line-node gap.Comment: minor changes, appeared in PRL (4 pages, 4 figures
Discontinuous Transition from a Real Bound State to Virtual Bound State in a Mixed-Valence State of SmS
Golden SmS is a paramagnetic, mixed-valence system with a pseudogap. With
increasing pressure across a critical pressure Pc, the system undergoes a
discontinuous transition into a metallic, anti-ferromagnetically ordered state.
By using a combination of thermodynamic, transport, and magnetic measurements,
we show that the pseudogap results from the formation of a local bound state
with spin singlet. We further argue that the transition Pc is regarded as a
transition from an insulating electron-hole gas to a Kondo metal, i.e., from a
spatially bound state to a Kondo virtually bound state between 4f and
conduction electrons.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
