Nonlinear resonance absorption in laser-cluster interaction
Rare gas or metal clusters are known to absorb laser energy very efficiently.
Upon cluster expansion the Mie plasma frequency may become equal to the laser
frequency. This linear resonance has been well studied both experimentally and
theoretically employing pump probe schemes. In this work we focus on the
few-cycle regime or the early stage of the cluster dynamics where linear
resonance is not met but nevertheless efficient absorption of laser energy
persists. By retrieving time-dependent oscillator frequencies from
particle-in-cell simulation results, we show that nonlinear resonance is the
dominant mechanism behind outer ionization and energy absorption in near
infrared laser-driven clusters.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, REVTeX, minor modifications according to referee

Yang-Baxter algebra and generation of quantum integrable models
An operator deformed quantum algebra is discovered exploiting the quantum
Yang-Baxter equation with trigonometric R-matrix. This novel Hopf algebra along
with its limit appear to be the most general Yang-Baxter algebra
underlying quantum integrable systems. Three different directions of
application of this algebra in integrable systems depending on different sets
of values of deforming operators are identified. Fixed values on the whole
lattice yield subalgebras linked to standard quantum integrable models, while
the associated Lax operators generate and classify them in an unified way.
Variable values construct a new series of quantum integrable inhomogeneous
models. Fixed but different values at different lattice sites can produce a
novel class of integrable hybrid models including integrable matter-radiation
models and quantum field models with defects, in particular, a new quantum
integrable sine-Gordon model with defect.Comment: 13 pages, revised and bit expanded with additional explanations,

Interfacial contribution to the dielectric response in semiconducting LaBiMn4/3Co2/3O6
Impedance measurements have been performed on a sintered polycrystalline
sample of the perovskite LaBiMn4/3Co2/3O6. Colossal dielectric permittivity
often is measured in this class of semiconducting materials as a result of
extrinsic factors. Our results show that a large offset in the capacitance,
measured on a series of samples with different thickness, is due to the
interfacial polarization. This contribution then can be removed from the data,
creating a general procedure for dielectric measurements in semiconducting
samples.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
Applied analytical combustion/emissions research at the NASA Lewis Research Center
Emissions of pollutants from future commercial transports are a significant concern. As a result, the Lewis Research Center (LeRC) is investigating various low emission combustor technologies. As part of this effort, a combustor analysis code development program was pursued to guide the combustor design process, to identify concepts having the greatest promise, and to optimize them at the lowest cost in the minimum time
Seed yield of linseed varieties grown as ‘paira’ crop as influenced by dates of sowing
Linseed is an industrial crop cultivated for its seeds, fibres and oil purpose. Linseed crop can met their requirement i.e. moisture and nutritional demand from stored soil moisture and residual fertility status in "utera? or "paira? system of cropping. On the basis of this fact an experiment was conducted on “Seed yield of linseed varieties grown as paira crop as influenced by dates of sowing” in red and laterite zone of West Bengal during rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at Rice Research Station, Bankura, West Bengal, India. Poor in organic matter content, available phosphate and bases, hard structure of iron and aluminium patterned as honeycomb are present in the subsurface regions of the profiles and kaolinite is the predominant clay minerals of red and lateritic zone (western part) of West Bengal. This experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications and compared two factors (dates of sowing and linseed varieties). Objective was identifying the optimum date of sowing and suitable linseed varieties grown as „paira? crop under changed climate in red and laterite zone of West Bengal. The experimental results revealed that the highest seed yield (534 kg ha-1 as pooled value) was recorded from the treatment D1 i.e. linseed sown on 15th November. The lowest seed yield (489.2 kg ha-1 as pooled value) was obtained with treatment D3 i.e. linseed sown on 29th November. Among linseed varieties, T-397 has yielded highest seed yield (573.4 kg ha-1 as pooled value). Lowest seed yield (409. 3 kg ha-1 as pooled data) was recorded from Neela variety. From the present study it may be concluded that linseed sown on 15th November is the best time and T-397 is the suitable linseed variety grown as "paira? crop under changed climate in red and laterite zone of West Bengal
Quantum integrable multi atom matter-radiation models with and without rotating wave approximation
New integrable multi-atom matter-radiation models with and without rotating
wave approximation (RWA) are constructed and exactly solved through algebraic
Bethe ansatz. The models with RWA are generated through ancestor model approach
in an unified way. The rational case yields the standard type of
matter-radiaton models, while the trigonometric case corresponds to their
q-deformations. The models without RWA are obtained from the elliptic case at
the Gaudin and high spin limit.Comment: 9 pages, no figure, talk presented in int. conf. NEEDS04 (Gallipoli,

Lean supply chain management and Industry 4.0: a systematic literature review
Purpose Even though the integration of Lean Supply Chain Management (LSCM) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies is relatively recent, it has been receiving a lot of attention. Partly because it is a recent field of practise and research and partly because the number of works developed in this field has grown rapidly, it is important to frequently update the perspectives on this field of investigation. Thus, this study aims to review the integration between LSCM and I4.0 analysing relationship at operative, tactical and strategic levels. Design/methodology/approach Systematic literature review was conducted to identify and explain the integration of LSCM and I4.0 from scientific sources that were published before March 2021. Findings The analysis of the literature revealed the level of integration of LSCM and I4.0 is present at different managerial levels. Moreover, when the integration is detailed at different managerial levels, it appears that LSCM paves the way for the adoption of I4.0 at a strategic level, while I4.0 technologies promise to enhance LSCM practices at the operational level. Research limitations/implications The main contribution of this study is the framework which shows that LSCM paves the way for the adoption of I4.0 at a strategic level, while I4.0 technologies promise to enhance LSCM practices at the operational level. Originality/value This study develops a new perspective of the articles published under the thematic of LSCM and I4.0. Additionally, it proposes a framework of analysis that can be used by future researchers. Finally, it shows the most recent implementations of LSCM and I4.0, exposing the current trends, improvements and also the main gaps
