Transverse expansion of hot magnetized Bjorken flow in heavy ion collisions
We argue that the existence of an inhomogeneous external magnetic field can
lead to radial flow in transverse plane. Our aim is to show how the
introduction of a magnetic field generalizes the Bjorken flow. We investigate
the effect of an inhomogeneous weak external magnetic field on the transverse
expansion of in-viscid fluid created in high energy nuclear collisions. In
order to simplify our calculation and compare with Gubser model, we consider
the fluid under investigation to be produced in central collisions, at small
impact parameter; azimuthal symmetry has been considered. In our model, we
assume an inhomogeneous external magnetic field following the power-law decay
in proper time and having radial inhomogeneity perpendicular to the radial
velocity of the in-viscid fluid in the transverse plane; then the space time
evolution of the transverse expansion of the fluid is obtained. We also show
how the existence of an inhomogeneous external magnetic field modifies the
energy density. Finally we use the solutions for the transverse velocity and
energy density in the presence of a weak magnetic field, to estimate the
transverse momentum spectrum of protons and pions emerging from the

Non-relativistic approximate numerical ideal-magneto hydrodynamics of (1+1) D transverse flow in Bjorken scenario
In this study, we investigate the impact of the magnetic field on the
evolution of the transverse flow of QGP matter in the magneto-hydrodynamic
(MHD) framework. We assume that the magnetic field is perpendicular to the
reaction plane and then we solve the coupled Maxwell and conservation equations
in (1+1D) transverse flow, within the Bjorken scenario. We consider a QGP with
infinite electrical conductivity. First, the magnetic effects on the QGP medium
at mid-rapidity are investigated at leading order; then the time and space
dependence of the energy density, velocity and magnetic field in the transverse
plane of the ideal magnetized hot plasma are obtained

Towards real-time classification of astronomical transients
Exploration of time domain is now a vibrant area of research in astronomy, driven by the advent of digital synoptic sky surveys. While panoramic surveys can detect variable or transient events, typically some follow-up observations are needed; for short-lived phenomena, a rapid response is essential. Ability to automatically classify and prioritize transient events for follow-up studies becomes critical as the data rates increase. We have been developing such methods using the data streams from the Palomar-Quest survey, the Catalina Sky Survey and others, using the VOEventNet framework. The goal is to automatically classify transient events, using the new measurements, combined with archival data (previous and multi-wavelength measurements), and contextual information (e.g., Galactic or ecliptic latitude, presence of a possible host galaxy nearby, etc.); and to iterate them dynamically as the follow-up data come in (e.g., light curves or colors). We have been investigating Bayesian methodologies for classification, as well as discriminated follow-up to optimize the use of available resources, including Naive Bayesian approach, and the non-parametric Gaussian process regression. We will also be deploying variants of the traditional machine learning techniques such as Neural Nets and Support Vector Machines on datasets of reliably classified transients as they build up
An interface to retrieve personal memories using an iconic visual language
Relevant past events can be remembered when visualizing related pictures. The main difficulty is how to find these photos in a large personal collection. Query definition and image annotation are key issues to overcome this problem. The former is relevant due to the diversity of the clues provided by our memory when recovering a past moment and the later because images need to be annotated with information regarding those clues to be retrieved. Consequently, tools to recover past memories should deal carefully with these two tasks. This paper describes a user interface designed to explore pictures from personal memories. Users can query the media collection in several ways and for this reason an iconic visual language to define queries is proposed. Automatic and semi-automatic annotation is also performed using the image content and the audio information obtained when users show their images to others. The paper also presents the user interface evaluation based on tests with 58 participants
