Chiral SU(3) Symmetry and Strangeness
In this talk we review recent progress on the systematic evaluation of the
kaon and antikaon spectral functions in dense nuclear matter based on a chiral
SU(3) description of the low-energy pion-, kaon- and antikaon-nucleon
scattering data.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, invited talk given by M.F.M.L. at the SQM2001

Density-wave phases of dipolar fermions in a bilayer
We investigate the phase diagram of dipolar fermions with aligned dipole
moments in a two-dimensional (2D) bilayer. Using a version of the
Singwi-Tosi-Land-Sjolander scheme recently adapted to dipolar fermions in a
single layer [M. M. Parish and F. M. Marchetti, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 145304
(2012)], we determine the density-wave instabilities of the bilayer system
within linear response theory. We find that the bilayer geometry can stabilize
the collapse of the 2D dipolar Fermi gas with intralayer attraction to form a
new density wave phase that has an orientation perpendicular to the density
wave expected for strong intralayer repulsion. We thus obtain a quantum phase
transition between stripe phases that is driven by the interplay between strong
correlations and the architecture of the low dimensional system.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Fractional dynamics in the L\'evy quantum kicked rotor
We investigate the quantum kicked rotor in resonance subjected to momentum
measurements with a L\'evy waiting time distribution. We find that the system
has a sub-ballistic behavior. We obtain an analytical expression for the
exponent of the power law of the variance as a function of the characteristic
parameter of the L\'evy distribution and connect this anomalous diffusion with
a fractional dynamics
Techno-economic comparison of renewable energy systems using multi-pole system analysis (MPSA)
The recently published method of multi-pole system analysis (MPSA) is used to techno-economically compare two wind-energy converters: offshore wind turbines and the energy ship concept. According to the method, both systems are (i) modeled, (ii) energetically and economically analyzed, (iii) technoeconomically optimized and, finally, (iv) expected uncertainties are calculated and assessed. The results of the method are used to derive the necessary cost reduction of the wind-energy converters to be economically competitive to fossil-fuel-based technologies.The authors would like to thank the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) for the financial support in the framework of the Excellence Initiative, Darmstadt Graduate School of Excellence Energy Science and Engineering (GSC 1070)
Meson Cloud and SU(3) Symmetry Breaking in Parton Distributions
We apply the Meson Cloud Model to the calculation of nonsinglet parton
distributions in the nucleon sea, including the octet and the decuplet cloud
baryon contributions. We give special attention to the differences between
nonstrange and strange sea quarks, trying to identify possible sources of SU(3)
flavor breaking. A analysis in terms of the parameter is presented,
and we find that the existing SU(3) flavor asymmetry in the nucleon sea can be
quantitatively explained by the meson cloud. We also consider the
baryon, finding similar conclusions.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures in .ps file
On the Throughput Allocation for Proportional Fairness in Multirate IEEE 802.11 DCF
This paper presents a modified proportional fairness (PF) criterion suitable
for mitigating the \textit{rate anomaly} problem of multirate IEEE 802.11
Wireless LANs employing the mandatory Distributed Coordination Function (DCF)
option. Compared to the widely adopted assumption of saturated network, the
proposed criterion can be applied to general networks whereby the contending
stations are characterized by specific packet arrival rates, , and
transmission rates .
The throughput allocation resulting from the proposed algorithm is able to
greatly increase the aggregate throughput of the DCF while ensuring fairness
levels among the stations of the same order of the ones available with the
classical PF criterion. Put simply, each station is allocated a throughput that
depends on a suitable normalization of its packet rate, which, to some extent,
measures the frequency by which the station tries to gain access to the
channel. Simulation results are presented for some sample scenarios, confirming
the effectiveness of the proposed criterion.Comment: Submitted to IEEE CCNC 200
