An Analytical Framework to Describe the Interactions Between Individuals and a Continuum
We consider a discrete set of individual agents interacting with a continuum.
Examples might be a predator facing a huge group of preys, or a few shepherd
dogs driving a herd of sheeps. Analytically, these situations can be described
through a system of ordinary differential equations coupled with a scalar
conservation law in several space dimensions. This paper provides a complete
well posedness theory for the resulting Cauchy problem. A few applications are
considered in detail and numerical integrations are provided
A straw drift chamber spectrometer for studies of rare kaon decays
We describe the design, construction, readout, tests, and performance of
planar drift chambers, based on 5 mm diameter copperized Mylar and Kapton
straws, used in an experimental search for rare kaon decays. The experiment
took place in the high-intensity neutral beam at the Alternating Gradient
Synchrotron of Brookhaven National Laboratory, using a neutral beam stop, two
analyzing dipoles, and redundant particle identification to remove backgrounds
Weak-strong uniqueness property for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system
The Navier-Stokes-Fourier system describing the motion of a compressible,
viscous, and heat conducting fluid is known to possess global-in-time weak
solutions for any initial data of finite energy. We show that a weak solution
coincides with the strong solution, emanating from the same initial data, as
long as the latter exists. In particular, strong solutions are unique within
the class of weak solutions
Discovery of Calcium, Indium, Tin, and Platinum Isotopes
Currently, twenty-four calcium, thirty-eight indium, thirty-eight tin and
thirty-nine platinum isotopes have been observed and the discovery of these
isotopes is discussed here. For each isotope a brief synopsis of the first
refereed publication, including the production and identification method, is
presented.Comment: to be published in At. Data Nuclear Data Tables, This updated paper
combines manuscripts: 1004.4934 (Calcium), 1004.5266 (Indium), 1003.5127
(Tin), and 1006.4033 (Platinum
Consensus guidelines for lumbar puncture in patients with neurological diseases
Introduction Cerebrospinal fluid collection by lumbar puncture (LP) is performed in the diagnostic workup of several neurological brain diseases. Reluctance to perform the procedure is among others due to a lack of standards and guidelines to minimize the risk of complications, such as post-LP headache or back pain. Methods We provide consensus guidelines for the LP procedure to minimize the risk of complications. The recommendations are based on (1) data from a large multicenter LP feasibility study (evidence level II-2), (2) systematic literature review on LP needle characteristics and post-LP complications (evidence level II-2), (3) discussion of best practice within the Joint Programme Neurodegenerative Disease Research Biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's Disease and Biomarkers for Multiple Sclerosis consortia (evidence level III). Results Our consensus guidelines address contraindications, as well as patient-related and procedure-related risk factors that can influence the development of post-LP complications. Discussion When an LP is performed correctly, the procedure is well tolerated and accepted with a low complication rate
Mathematical Models of Incompressible Fluids as Singular Limits of Complete Fluid Systems
A rigorous justification of several well-known mathematical models of incompressible fluid flows can be given in terms of singular limits of the scaled Navier-Stokes-Fourier system, where some of the characteristic numbers become small or large enough. We discuss the problem in the framework of global-in-time solutions for both the primitive and the target system. © 2010 Springer Basel AG
Volume I. Introduction to DUNE
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe, the dynamics of the supernovae that produced the heavy elements necessary for life, and whether protons eventually decayâthese mysteries at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early evolution of our universe, its current state, and its eventual fate. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions as it searches for leptonic charge-parity symmetry violation, stands ready to capture supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model. The DUNE far detector technical design report (TDR) describes the DUNE physics program and the technical designs of the single- and dual-phase DUNE liquid argon TPC far detector modules. This TDR is intended to justify the technical choices for the far detector that flow down from the high-level physics goals through requirements at all levels of the Project. Volume I contains an executive summary that introduces the DUNE science program, the far detector and the strategy for its modular designs, and the organization and management of the Project. The remainder of Volume I provides more detail on the science program that drives the choice of detector technologies and on the technologies themselves. It also introduces the designs for the DUNE near detector and the DUNE computing model, for which DUNE is planning design reports. Volume II of this TDR describes DUNE\u27s physics program in detail. Volume III describes the technical coordination required for the far detector design, construction, installation, and integration, and its organizational structure. Volume IV describes the single-phase far detector technology. A planned Volume V will describe the dual-phase technology
