Artificial Neural Network Based Prediction of Optimal Pseudo-Damping and Meta-Damping in Oscillatory Fractional Order Dynamical Systems
This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from IEEE via the link in this record.This paper investigates typical behaviors like damped oscillations in fractional order (FO) dynamical systems. Such response occurs due to the presence of, what is conceived as, pseudo-damping and meta-damping in some special class of FO systems. Here, approximation of such damped oscillation in FO systems with the conventional notion of integer order damping and time constant has been carried out using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Next, a multilayer feed-forward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has been trained using the GA based results to predict the optimal pseudo and meta-damping from knowledge of the maximum order or number of terms in the FO dynamical system
New mechanism of generation of large-scale magnetic field in a sheared turbulent plasma
A review of recent studies on a new mechanism of generation of large-scale
magnetic field in a sheared turbulent plasma is presented. This mechanism is
associated with the shear-current effect which is related to the W x J-term in
the mean electromotive force. This effect causes the generation of the
large-scale magnetic field even in a nonrotating and nonhelical homogeneous
sheared turbulent convection whereby the alpha effect vanishes. It is found
that turbulent convection promotes the shear-current dynamo instability, i.e.,
the heat flux causes positive contribution to the shear-current effect.
However, there is no dynamo action due to the shear-current effect for small
hydrodynamic and magnetic Reynolds numbers even in a turbulent convection, if
the spatial scaling for the turbulent correlation time is k^{-2}, where k is
the small-scale wave number. We discuss here also the nonlinear mean-field
dynamo due to the shear-current effect and take into account the transport of
magnetic helicity as a dynamical nonlinearity. The magnetic helicity flux
strongly affects the magnetic field dynamics in the nonlinear stage of the
dynamo action. When the magnetic helicity flux is not small, the saturated
level of the mean magnetic field is of the order of the equipartition field
determined by the turbulent kinetic energy. The obtained results are important
for elucidation of origin of the large-scale magnetic fields in astrophysical
and cosmic sheared turbulent plasma.Comment: 7 pages, Planetory and Space Science, in pres
A relativistic unitary coupled-cluster study of electric quadrupole moment and magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of ^{199}Hg^{+}
Searching for an accurate optical clock which can serve as a better time
standard than the present day atomic clock is highly demanding from several
areas of science and technology. Several attempts have been made to built more
accurate clocks with different ion species. In this article we discuss the
electric quadrupole and hyperfine shifts in the 5d^{9}6s^{2}
^{2}D_{5/2}(F=0,m_{F}=0)\leftrightarrow5d^{10}6s ^{2}S_{1/2}(F=2,m_{F}=0)
clock transition in , one of the most promising candidates for
next generation optical clocks. We have applied Fock-space unitary
coupled-cluster (FSUCC) theory to study the electric quadrupole moment of the
5d^{9}6s^{2} ^{2}D_{5/2} state and magnetic dipole hyperfine constants of
5d^{9}6s^{2} ^{2}D_{3/2,5/2} and 5d^{10}6s^{1} ^{2}S_{1/2} states
respectively of . We have also compared our results with
available data. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a variant
of coupled-cluster (CC) theories has been applied to study these kinds of
properties of and is the most accurate estimate of these quantities to
date.Comment: Revtex, 2 EPS figures, To be published in Phys. Rev.
