Non-Classical Response from Quench-Cooled Solid Helium Confined in Porous Gold
We have investigated the non-classical response of solid 4He confined in
porous gold set to torsional oscillation. When solid helium is grown rapidly,
nearly 7% of the solid helium appears to be decoupled from the oscillation
below about 200 mK. Dissipation appears at temperatures where the decoupling
shows maximum variation. In contrast, the decoupling is substantially reduced
in slowly grown solid helium. The dynamic response of solid helium was also
studied by imposing a sudden increase in the amplitude of oscillation. Extended
relaxation in the resonant period shift, suggesting the emergence of the
pinning of low energy excitations, was observed below the onset temperature of
the non-classical response. The motion of a dislocation or a glassy solid is
restricted in the entangled narrow pores and is not likely responsible for the
period shift and long relaxation
Unsteady Flow in Cavitating Turbopumps
Unsteady flow in a cavitating axial inducer pump is analyzed with the help of a simple two-dimensional cascade model. This problem was motivated by a desire to study the effect of unsteady cavitation on the so-called POGO instability in the operation of liquid rocket engines. Here, an important feature is a closed loop coupling between several different modes of oscillation, one of which is due to the basic unsteady characterisitcs of the cavitation itself. The approaching and leaving flow velocities up- and downstream of the inducer oscillate, and the cavity-blade system participates dynamically with the basic pulsating flow. In the present work, attention is focused on finding a transfer matrix that relates the set of upstream variables to those downstream. This quantity, which is essentially equivalent to cavitation compliance in the quasistatic analyses, is found to be complex and frequency dependent. It represents the primary effect of the fluctuating cavity in the system. The analysis is based on a linearized free streamline theory
A Note on the Unsteady Cavity Flow in a Tunnel
The unsteady internal cavitating flow such as the one observed in a pump or a turbine is studied for a simple two-dimensional model of a base-cavitating wedge in an infinite tunnel and it is shown how the cavitation compliance can be calculated using the linearized free streamline theory. Numerical values are obtained for the limiting case of a free jet. Two important features are: First, the cavitation compliance is found to be of complex form, having additional resistive and reactive terms beyond the purely inertial oscillation of the whole channel in "slug flow." Second, the compliance has a strong dependence on frequency
Femtosecond β-cleavage dynamics: Observation of the diradical intermediate in the nonconcerted reactions of cyclic ethers
Femtosecond (fs) dynamics of reactions of cyclic ethers, symmetric and asymmetric structures, are reported. The diradical intermediates and their beta-cleavages, which involve simultaneous C-C, C-H sigma-bond breakage and C-O, C-C pi-bond formation, are observed and studied by fs-resolved mass spectrometry. To compare with experiments, we present density functional theory calculations of the potential energy surface and microcanonical rates and product distributions
On Types of Elliptic Pseudoprimes
We generalize the notions of elliptic pseudoprimes and elliptic Carmichael
numbers introduced by Silverman to analogues of Euler-Jacobi and strong
pseudoprimes. We investigate the relationships among Euler Elliptic Carmichael
numbers , strong elliptic Carmichael numbers, products of anomalous primes and
elliptic Korselt numbers of Type I: The former two of these are introduced in
this paper, and the latter two of these were introduced by Mazur (1973) and
Silverman (2012) respectively. In particular, we expand upon a previous work of
Babinkostova et al. by proving a conjecture about the density of certain
elliptic Korselt numbers of Type I that are products of anomalous primes.Comment: Revised for publication. 33 page
Unsupervised two-class and multi-class support vector machines for abnormal traffic characterization
Although measurement-based real-time traffic classification has received considerable research attention, the timing constraints imposed by the high accuracy requirements and the learning phase of the algorithms employed still remain a challenge. In this paper we propose a measurement-based classification framework that exploits unsupervised learning to accurately categorise network anomalies to specific classes. We introduce the combinatorial use of two-class and multi-class unsupervised Support Vector Machines (SVM)s to first distinguish normal from anomalous traffic and to further classify the latter category to individual groups depending on the nature of the anomaly
Production of the pentaquark in scattering
We study and processes
for both of the positive and negative parities of the . Employing
the effective chiral Lagrangians for the and interactions, we
calculate differential cross sections as well as total cross sections for the
and reactions. The total
cross sections for the positive-parity turn out to be approximately
ten times larger than those for the negative parity in the range of
the CM energy . The results are
rather sensitive to the mechanism of exchanges in the -- channel.Comment: 9 pages and 11 figure
