Effect of Rocker Length on the Dynamic Behavior of a Coupler Link in Four Bar Planar Mechanism
AbstractIt is well-known that the dynamic analysis of mechanisms operating at high speed cannot neglect the effects of link elastic flexibility. In fact this effect may affect the dynamic response of the output link motion, so that the mechanisms may fail to perform their assign tasks effectively. The dynamic analysis of high speed mechanism having rigid rocker length is carried out by using Finite Element Method (FEM) and the same is discussed in the present work. Moreover, the behavior of damped-flexible coupler under varying length of rigid rocker length is analyzed. Modeling and simulation of mechanism has been analyzed by using ANSYS and results are found to be in agreement with the experimental result mention in literature. It is observed that increase in length of rocker link gives rise in the strain value in middle of the coupler link and hence the length of rocker link should be kept as minimum as possible
All genus correlation functions for the hermitian 1-matrix model
We rewrite the loop equations of the hermitian matrix model, in a way which
allows to compute all the correlation functions, to all orders in the
topological expansion, as residues on an hyperelliptical curve. Those
residues, can be represented diagrammaticaly as Feynmann graphs of a cubic
interaction field theory on the curve.Comment: latex, 19 figure

On universality of local edge regime for the deformed Gaussian Unitary Ensemble
We consider the deformed Gaussian ensemble in which
is a hermitian matrix (possibly random) and is the Gaussian
unitary random matrix (GUE) independent of . Assuming that the
Normalized Counting Measure of converges weakly (in probability if
random) to a non-random measure with a bounded support and assuming
some conditions on the convergence rate, we prove universality of the local
eigenvalue statistics near the edge of the limiting spectrum of .Comment: 25 pages, 2 figure
Large N expansion of the 2-matrix model
We present a method, based on loop equations, to compute recursively all the
terms in the large topological expansion of the free energy for the
2-hermitian matrix model. We illustrate the method by computing the first
subleading term, i.e. the free energy of a statistical physics model on a
discretized torus.Comment: 41 pages, 9 figures eps
Determinantal process starting from an orthogonal symmetry is a Pfaffian process
When the number of particles is finite, the noncolliding Brownian motion
(BM) and the noncolliding squared Bessel process with index
(BESQ) are determinantal processes for arbitrary fixed initial
configurations. In the present paper we prove that, if initial configurations
are distributed with orthogonal symmetry, they are Pfaffian processes in the
sense that any multitime correlation functions are expressed by Pfaffians. The
skew-symmetric matrix-valued correlation kernels of the Pfaffians
processes are explicitly obtained by the equivalence between the noncolliding
BM and an appropriate dilatation of a time reversal of the temporally
inhomogeneous version of noncolliding BM with finite duration in which all
particles start from the origin, , and by the equivalence between
the noncolliding BESQ and that of the noncolliding squared
generalized meander starting from .Comment: v2: AMS-LaTeX, 17 pages, no figure, corrections made for publication

Noncolliding Squared Bessel Processes
We consider a particle system of the squared Bessel processes with index conditioned never to collide with each other, in which if
the origin is assumed to be reflecting. When the number of particles is finite,
we prove for any fixed initial configuration that this noncolliding diffusion
process is determinantal in the sense that any multitime correlation function
is given by a determinant with a continuous kernel called the correlation
kernel. When the number of particles is infinite, we give sufficient conditions
for initial configurations so that the system is well defined. There the
process with an infinite number of particles is determinantal and the
correlation kernel is expressed using an entire function represented by the
Weierstrass canonical product, whose zeros on the positive part of the real
axis are given by the particle-positions in the initial configuration. From the
class of infinite-particle initial configurations satisfying our conditions, we
report one example in detail, which is a fixed configuration such that every
point of the square of positive zero of the Bessel function is
occupied by one particle. The process starting from this initial configuration
shows a relaxation phenomenon converging to the stationary process, which is
determinantal with the extended Bessel kernel, in the long-term limit.Comment: v3: LaTeX2e, 26 pages, no figure, corrections made for publication in

Compaction of Rods: Relaxation and Ordering in Vibrated, Anisotropic Granular Material
We report on experiments to measure the temporal and spatial evolution of
packing arrangements of anisotropic, cylindrical granular material, using
high-resolution capacitive monitoring. In these experiments, the particle
configurations start from an initially disordered, low-packing-fraction state
and under vertical vibrations evolve to a dense, highly ordered, nematic state
in which the long particle axes align with the vertical tube walls. We find
that the orientational ordering process is reflected in a characteristic, steep
rise in the local packing fraction. At any given height inside the packing, the
ordering is initiated at the container walls and proceeds inward. We explore
the evolution of the local as well as the height-averaged packing fraction as a
function of vibration parameters and compare our results to relaxation
experiments conducted on spherically shaped granular materials.Comment: 9 pages incl. 7 figure
Second and Third Order Observables of the Two-Matrix Model
In this paper we complement our recent result on the explicit formula for the
planar limit of the free energy of the two-matrix model by computing the second
and third order observables of the model in terms of canonical structures of
the underlying genus g spectral curve. In particular we provide explicit
formulas for any three-loop correlator of the model. Some explicit examples are
worked out.Comment: 22 pages, v2 with added references and minor correction
Alterations to nuclear architecture and genome behavior in senescent cells.
The organization of the genome within interphase nuclei, and how it interacts with nuclear structures is important for the regulation of nuclear functions. Many of the studies researching the importance of genome organization and nuclear structure are performed in young, proliferating, and often transformed cells. These studies do not reveal anything about the nucleus or genome in nonproliferating cells, which may be relevant for the regulation of both proliferation and replicative senescence. Here, we provide an overview of what is known about the genome and nuclear structure in senescent cells. We review the evidence that nuclear structures, such as the nuclear lamina, nucleoli, the nuclear matrix, nuclear bodies (such as promyelocytic leukemia bodies), and nuclear morphology all become altered within growth-arrested or senescent cells. Specific alterations to the genome in senescent cells, as compared to young proliferating cells, are described, including aneuploidy, chromatin modifications, chromosome positioning, relocation of heterochromatin, and changes to telomeres
