PGGA: A predictable and grouped genetic algorithm for job scheduling
This paper presents a predictable and grouped genetic algorithm (PGGA) for job scheduling. The novelty of the PGGA is twofold: (1) a job workload estimation algorithm is designed to estimate a job workload based on its historical execution records, (2) the divisible load theory (DLT) is employed to predict an optimal fitness value by which the PGGA speeds up the convergence process in searching a large scheduling space. Comparison with traditional scheduling methods such as first-come-first-serve (FCFS) and random scheduling, heuristics such as a typical genetic algorithm, Min-Min and Max-Min indicates that the PGGA is more effective and efficient in finding optimal scheduling solutions
Search for single production of the vector-like top partner at the 14 TeV LHC
The new heavy vector-like top partner~() is one of typical features of
many new physics models beyond the standard model. In this paper we study the
discovery potential of the LHC for the vector-like -quark both in the
leptonic and (trilepton) channels at
TeV in the single production mode. Our analysis is based on a
simplified model including a singlet with charge with only two
free parameters, namely the coupling parameter and the top
partner mass . The exclusion limits, evidence and the
discovery reach in the parameter plane of , are,
respectively, obtained for some typical integrated luminosity at the 14 TeV
LHC. Finally we analyze the projected sensitivity in terms of the production
cross section times branching fraction for two decay channel.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figures, 2 tables. version in EPJ
Properties of the scalar mesons , and
In the three-state mixing framework, considering the possible glueball
components of and , we investigate the hadronic decays of
, and into two pseudoscalar mesons. The
quarkonia-glueball content of the three states is determined from the fit to
the new data presented by the WA102 Collaboration. We find that these data are
insensitive to the possible glueball components of and .
Furthermore, we discuss some properties of the mass matrix describing the
mixing of the isoscalar scalar mesons.Comment: Latex 14 pages including 1 eps figur
Number-resolved master equation approach to quantum transport under the self-consistent Born approximation
We construct a particle-number(n)-resolved master equation (ME) approach
under the self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA) for quantum transport
through mesoscopic systems. The formulation is essentially non-Markovian and
incorporates the interlay of the multi-tunneling processes and many-body
correlations. The proposed n-SCBA-ME goes completely beyond the scope of the
Born-Markov master equation, being applicable to transport under small bias
voltage, in non-Markovian regime and with strong Coulomb correlations. For
steady state, it can recover not only the exact result of noninteracting
transport under arbitrary voltages, but also the challenging nonequilibrium
Kondo effect. Moreover, the n-SCBA-ME approach is efficient for the study of
shot noise.We demonstrate the application by a couple of representative
examples, including particularly the nonequilibrium Kondo system.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1302.638
Role of quark-interchange processes in evolution of mesonic matter
We divide the cross section for a meson-meson reaction into three parts. The
first part is for the quark-interchange process, the second for quark-antiquark
annihilation processes and the third for resonant processes. Master rate
equations are established to yield time dependence of fugacities of pions,
rhos, kaons and vetor kaons. The equations include cross sections for inelastic
scattering of pions, rhos, kaons and vector kaons. Cross sections for
quark-interchange-induced reactions, that were obtained in a potential model,
are parametrized for convenient use. The number densities of pion and rho (kaon
and vector kaon) are altered by quark-interchange processes in equal magnitudes
but opposite signs. The master rate equations combined with the hydrodynamic
equations for longitudinal and transverse expansion are solved with many sets
of initial meson fugacities. Quark-interchange processes are shown to be
important in the contribution of the inelastic meson-meson scattering to
evolution of mesonic matter.Comment: 28 pages, 1 figure, 8 table
