Exact solution of Schrodinger equation for modified Kratzer's molecular potential with the position-dependent mass
Exact solutions of Schrodinger equation are obtained for the modified Kratzer
and the corrected Morse potentials with the position-dependent effective mass.
The bound state energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions are
calculated for any angular momentum for target potentials. Various forms of
point canonical transformations are applied. PACS numbers: 03.65.-w; 03.65.Ge;

Point canonical transformation, Effective mass Schr\"{o}dinger equation.Comment: 9 page
Trapped surfaces in nonspherical open universes
We continue our investigation of formation of trapped surfaces in strongly curved geometries which do not contain gravitational waves. The expansion of open, flat universes does not change substantially the results obtained hitherto in the case of asymptotically and conformally flat space-time. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the formation of trapped surfaces are given, which explicitly demonstrate that the quicker universes are expanding, the more matter is required to develop a trapped surface

Potential impacts of a Turkish EU-membership on agri-food markets
This paper examines possible impacts of a Turkish accession to the EU on the agricultural markets in Turkey and the EU. AGMEMOD, an econometric, dynamic, multi-market, partial equilibrium economic model for EU agriculture at Member State level, has been extended with a model for the Turkish agricultural sector and afterwards applied to gain quantitative insights into Turkish accession effects. To establish a model for Turkey, the implementation of the model equations required parameter estimates, or the specification of synthetic model parameters. A database with time series on Turkish agricultural production, market balances and prices, macroeconomic variables and policy variables was developed in order to estimate such model parameters and to build an operational Turkish agriculture sector model. Most results show that the dominant impact of the Turkish accession on Turkish agriculture is a reduction of domestic producer prices, which induces further market effects. The - mostly decoupled - CAP support payments will induce smaller incentives to increase production than those which Turkish farmers receive prior to the EU accession. In Turkey effects of accession to the EU will be mostly negative for crop producers (except for tobacco), whereas the consumers are expected to gain from lower market prices. In contrast, producers of sheep meat, broiler and dairy milk could gain from an accession due to lower feed costs
Potential algebra approach to position dependent mass Schroedinger equation
It is shown that for a class of position dependent mass Schroedinger equation
the shape invariance condition is equivalent to a potential symmetry algebra.
Explicit realization of such algebras have been obtained for some shape
invariant potentials
An Iterative and Toolchain-Based Approach to Automate Scanning and Mapping Computer Networks
As today's organizational computer networks are ever evolving and becoming
more and more complex, finding potential vulnerabilities and conducting
security audits has become a crucial element in securing these networks. The
first step in auditing a network is reconnaissance by mapping it to get a
comprehensive overview over its structure. The growing complexity, however,
makes this task increasingly effortful, even more as mapping (instead of plain
scanning), presently, still involves a lot of manual work. Therefore, the
concept proposed in this paper automates the scanning and mapping of unknown
and non-cooperative computer networks in order to find security weaknesses or
verify access controls. It further helps to conduct audits by allowing
comparing documented with actual networks and finding unauthorized network
devices, as well as evaluating access control methods by conducting delta
scans. It uses a novel approach of augmenting data from iteratively chained
existing scanning tools with context, using genuine analytics modules to allow
assessing a network's topology instead of just generating a list of scanned
devices. It further contains a visualization model that provides a clear, lucid
topology map and a special graph for comparative analysis. The goal is to
provide maximum insight with a minimum of a priori knowledge.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
On the Definition of Averagely Trapped Surfaces
Previously suggested definitions of averagely trapped surfaces are not
well-defined properties of 2-surfaces, and can include surfaces in flat
space-time. A natural definition of averagely trapped surfaces is that the
product of the null expansions be positive on average. A surface is averagely
trapped in the latter sense if and only if its area and Hawking mass
satisfy the isoperimetric inequality , with similar inequalities
existing for other definitions of quasi-local energy.Comment: 4 page
Coherent States for the Non-Linear Harmonic Oscillator
Wave packets for the Quantum Non-Linear Oscillator are considered in the
Generalized Coherent State framerwork. To first order in the non-linearity
parameter the Coherent State behaves very similarly to its classical
counterpart. The position expectation value oscillates in a simple harmonic
manner. The energy-momentum uncertainty relation is time independent as in a
harmonic oscillator. Various features, (such as the Squeezed State nature), of
the Coherent State have been discussed
Trapped surfaces and spherical closed cosmologies
This article gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the formation of
trapped surfaces in spherically symmetric initial data defined on a closed
manifold. Such trapped surfaces surround a region in which there occurs an
enhancement of matter over the average. The conditions are posed directly in
terms of physical variables and show that what one needs is a relatively large
amount of excess matter confined to a small volume. The expansion of the
universe and an outward flow of matter oppose the formation of trapped
surfaces; an inward flow of matter helps. The model can be regarded as a
Friedmann-Lema\^\i tre-Walker cosmology with localized spherical
inhomogeneities. We show that the total excess mass cannot be too large.Comment: 36 page
