On dynamical net-charge fluctuations within a hadron resonance gas approach
The dynamical net-charge fluctuations () in different particle
ratios , , and are calculated from the hadron resonance
gas (HRG) model and compared with STAR central Au+Au collisions at
GeV and NA49 central Pb+Pb collisions at
GeV. The three charged-particle ratios (,
, and ) are determined as total and average of opposite and
average of same charges. We find an excellent agreement between the HRG
calculations and the experimental measurements, especially from STAR beam
energy scan (BES) program, while the strange particles in the NA49 experiment
at lower Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) energies are not reproduced by the HRG
approach. We conclude that the utilized HRG version seems to take into
consideration various types of correlations including strong interactions
through the heavy resonances and their decays especially at BES energies.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Advances in High

Using Dynamic Value Stream Mapping And Lean Accounting Box Scores To Support Lean Implementation
Lean has proven to be an effective management philosophy for improving businesses in a competitive market by eliminating waste and improving operations. An impact of implementing lean projects is the rapid reduction in inventory levels, which gives management the false impression that profits are decreasing while workers on the shop floor observe improvements in operations and increased floor space. This paper explores the literature on lean manufacturing, value stream mapping (VSM), Simulation and lean accounting in order to incorporate and integrate them for the purpose of solving the dilemma between lean implementation benefits and financial and accounting reporting methods
Phase instabilities in hexagonal patterns
The general form of the amplitude equations for a hexagonal pattern including
spatial terms is discussed. At the lowest order we obtain the phase equation
for such patterns. The general expression of the diffusion coefficients is
given and the contributions of the new spatial terms are analysed in this
paper. From these coefficients the phase stability regions in a hexagonal
pattern are determined. In the case of Benard-Marangoni instability our results
agree qualitatively with numerical simulations performed recently.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, to appear in Europhys. Let
