Interplanetary Consequences of a Large CME
We analyze a coronal mass ejection (CME) which resulted from an intense flare
in active region AR486 on November 4, 2003. The CME propagation and speed are
studied with interplanetary scintillation images, near-Earth space mission
data, and Ulysses measurements. Together, these diverse diagnostics suggest
that the internal magnetic energy of the CME determines its interplanetary
consequences.Comment: 5 pages, 9 figures, To appear in "Magnetic Coupling between the

The Effect of Spin Splitting on the Metallic Behavior of a Two-Dimensional System
Experiments on a constant-density two-dimensional hole system in a GaAs
quantum well reveal that the metallic behavior observed in the
zero-magnetic-field temperature dependence of the resistivity depends on the
symmetry of the confinement potential and the resulting spin-splitting of the
valence band
Spontaneous Interlayer Charge Transfer near the Magnetic Quantum Limit
Experiments reveal that a confined electron system with two equally-populated
layers at zero magnetic field can spontaneously break this symmetry through an
interlayer charge transfer near the magnetic quantum limit. New fractional
quantum Hall states at unusual total filling factors such as \nu = 11/15 (= 1/3
+ 2/5) stabilize as signatures that the system deforms itself, at substantial
electrostatic energy cost, in order to gain crucial correlation energy by
"locking in" separate incompressible liquid phases at unequal fillings in the
two layers (e.g., layered 1/3 and 2/5 states in the case of \nu = 11/15).Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures (1 color) included in text. Related papers at

(R1999) Analysis of a Markovian Retrial Queue with Reneging and Working Vacation under N-control Pattern
A Markovian retrial queue with reneging and working vacation under N-control pattern is investigated in this article. To describe the system, we employ a QBD analogy. The model’s stability condition is deduced. The stationary probability distribution is gotten by utilizing the matrix-analytic technique. The conditional stochastic decomposition of the line length in the orbit is calculated. The performance measures and special cases are designed. The model’s firmness is demonstrated numerically
PI-tuned UPFC damping controllers design for multi-machine power system
This paper presents an adaptive multi-objective algorithm based Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) tuned for damping oscillations in two-area multi-machine system formulated as multi- objective optimization problem. The algorithms such as, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Modified Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (MNSGA-II) are proposed for tuning the damping controller with speed deviation and control input as conflicting objectives. The proposed algorithm is implemented in the two area multi-machine system using MATLAB Simulink model, and the simulation results were obtained with respect to the characteristics of damping oscillations and the dynamic stability of power systems. The performance measures such as Integral Time Squared Error (ITSE) and Integral Squared Error (ISE) are considered as the objective functions. The results of the two proposed algorithm has been compared and the outcome shows that the MNSGA-II algorithm performs better compared to the NSGA-II algorithm
