On 3D Minimal Massive Gravity
We study linearized equations of motion of the newly proposed three
dimensional gravity, known as minimal massive gravity, using its metric
formulation. We observe that the resultant linearized equations are exactly the
same as that of TMG by making use of a redefinition of the parameters of the
model. In particular the model admits logarithmic modes at the critical points.
We also study several vacuum solutions of the model, specially at a certain
limit where the contribution of Chern-Simons term vanishes.Comment: 15 pages, no figures, typos fixed, journal versio
Fermions in non-relativistic AdS/CFT correspondence
We extend the non-relativistic AdS/CFT correspondence to the fermionic
fields. In particular we study the two point function of a fermionic operator
in non-relativistic CFTs by making use of a massive fermion propagating in
geometries with Schrodinger group isometry. Although the boundary of the
geometries with Schrodinger group isometry differ from that in AdS geometries
where the dictionary of AdS/CFT is established, using the general procedure of
AdS/CFT correspondence, we see that the resultant two point function has the
expected form for fermionic operators in non-relativistic CFTs, though a
non-trivial regularization may be needed.Comment: 12 pages,Latex file; V2: typos corrected, refs adde
On Complexity for Higher Derivative Gravities
Using "complexity=action" proposal we study complexity growth of certain
gravitational theories containing higher derivative terms. These include
critical gravity in diverse dimensions. One observes that the complexity growth
for neutral black holes saturates the proposed bound when the results are
written in terms of physical quantities of the model. We will also study
effects of shock wave to the complexity growth where we find that the presence
of massive spin-2 mode slows down the rate of growth.Comment: 18 pages, 3 figures, journal versio
Complexity Growth with Lifshitz Scaling and Hyperscaling Violation
Using complexity=action proposal we study the growth rate of holographic
complexity for Lifshitz and hyperscaling violating geometries. We will consider
both one and two sided black branes in an Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton
gravitational theory. We find that in either case Lloyd's bound is violated and
the rate of growth of complexity saturates to a value which is greater than
twice the mass of the corresponding black brane. This value reduces to the mass
of the black brane in the isotropic case. We show that in two sided black brane
the saturation happens from above while for one sided black brane it happens
from below.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figures, v2: typos corrected, references added, v3: Minor
corrections, New counter terms added that also contribute to the rate of
complexity growth. The conclusion is not changed, now 19 pages, v4: matches

Holographic renormalization of 3D minimal massive gravity
We study holographic renormalization of 3D minimal massive gravity using the
Chern-Simons-like formulation of the model. We explicitly present Gibbons-
Hawking term as well as all counterterms needed to make the action finite in
terms of dreibein and spin-connection. This can be used to find correlation
functions of stress tensor of holographic dual field theory.Comment: 26 pages, no figures, typos fixed, Ref. adde
Assessment of pH-responsive nanoparticles performance on laboratory column flotation cell applying a real ore feed
Nanoparticles (NPs) can promote the column flotation process in mining industry. Nanoparticles’ effects on column flotation process (copper recovery, grade and flotation rate constant) are assessed in Sarcheshmeh Copper Complex, Iran, through response surface methodology (RSM) optimization technique. The γ-Al2O3, α-Fe2O3, SiO2, and TiO2 nanoparticles are selected for these experiments. A flotation rate constant is chosen as a response to assess the effect of nanoparticles on flotation in its kinetic sense. The process pH and nanoparticle dosage are selected as the influential parameters. Results obtained from RSM indicated that the maximum percentage of Cu recovery and grade is obtained at pH of 12 and nanoparticle dosage of 6 kg/t, through α-Fe2O3 and γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles, respectively. Applying nanoparticles in particular γ-Al2O3 and α-Fe2O3 increases the Cu recovery by 8–10% together with the grade by 3–6% in a significant manner. It is revealed that nanoparticles could effectively be applied in enhancing the flotation performance
