    The popularity of Android based device could lead into an abundant amount of device choices from many vendors. There's a lot factors that one needed to consider before they can decide one device on the market that fully coping their needs. Some of whice are device's performance, size, and price. The benchmark application will put the device into trial which consists of CPU computation, JavaScript performance, Graphics, and Storage capability. Application aside, there will be a web service intended to provide service for masses in an easier and a simpler way.Based on the test results, the application can run well and can perform all of its functions. Score output are relevant and can give the user general view about the performance from the device on the market. On several later iteration of android version, USAge permission for external storage are very limited. Hence, DriveSpeed2 can't be run because the application couldn't write on external storage freely

    In-beam spectroscopy of medium- and high-spin states in 133^{133}Ce

    Full text link
    Medium and high-spin states in 133^{133}Ce were investigated using the 116^{116}Cd(22^{22}Ne, 5n5n) reaction and the Gammasphere array. The level scheme was extended up to an excitation energy of ∼22.8\sim22.8 MeV and spin 93/2 . Eleven bands of quadrupole transitions and two new dipole bands are identified. The connections to low-lying states of the previously known, high-spin triaxial bands were firmly established, thus fixing the excitation energy and, in many cases, the spin parity of the levels. Based on comparisons with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations and tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory, it is shown that all observed bands are characterized by pronounced triaxiality. Competing multiquasiparticle configurations are found to contribute to a rich variety of collective phenomena in this nucleus.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figure

    Role of the cluster structure of 7^7Li in the dynamics of fragment capture

    Full text link
    Exclusive measurements of prompt γ\gamma-rays from the heavy-residues with various light charged particles in the 7^7Li + 198^{198}Pt system, at an energy near the Coulomb barrier (E/VbV_b ∼\sim 1.6) are reported. Recent dynamic classical trajectory calculations, constrained by the measured fusion, α\alpha and tt capture cross-sections have been used to explain the excitation energy dependence of the residue cross-sections. These calculations distinctly illustrate a two step process, breakup followed by fusion in case of the capture of tt and α\alpha clusters; whereas for 6^{6}He + pp and 5^{5}He + dd configurations, massive transfer is inferred to be the dominant mechanism. The present work clearly demonstrates the role played by the cluster structures of 7^7Li in understanding the reaction dynamics at energies around the Coulomb barrier.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Accepted for publication in Phys.

    Calibration of optimal execution of financial transactions in the presence of transient market impact

    Full text link
    Trading large volumes of a financial asset in order driven markets requires the use of algorithmic execution dividing the volume in many transactions in order to minimize costs due to market impact. A proper design of an optimal execution strategy strongly depends on a careful modeling of market impact, i.e. how the price reacts to trades. In this paper we consider a recently introduced market impact model (Bouchaud et al., 2004), which has the property of describing both the volume and the temporal dependence of price change due to trading. We show how this model can be used to describe price impact also in aggregated trade time or in real time. We then solve analytically and calibrate with real data the optimal execution problem both for risk neutral and for risk averse investors and we derive an efficient frontier of optimal execution. When we include spread costs the problem must be solved numerically and we show that the introduction of such costs regularizes the solution.Comment: 31 pages, 8 figure

    Fusion cross sections for 6,7Li + 24Mg reactions at energies below and above the barrier

    Full text link
    Measurement of fusion cross sections for the 6,7Li + 24Mg reactions by the characteristic gamma-ray method has been done at energies from below to well above the respective Coulomb barriers. The fusion cross sections obtained from these gamma-ray cross sections for the two systems are found to agree well with the total reaction cross sections at low energies. The decrease of fusion cross sections with increase of energy is consistent with the fact that other channels, in particular breakup open up with increase of bombarding energy. This shows that there is neither inhibition nor enhancement of fusion cross sections for these systems at above or below the barrier. The critical angular momenta (lcr) deduced from the fusion cross sections are found to have an energy dependence similar to other Li - induced reactions.Comment: 1 .pdf fil

    Evidence for Multiple Chiral Doublet Bands in 133^{133}Ce

    Get PDF
    Two distinct sets of chiral-partner bands have been identified in the nucleus 133^{133}Ce. They constitute a multiple chiral doublet (Mχ\chiD), a phenomenon predicted by relativistic mean field (RMF) calculations and observed experimentally here for the first time. The properties of these chiral bands are in good agreement with results of calculations based on a combination of the constrained triaxial RMF theory and the particle-rotor model.Comment: Minor changes based on referee reviews and corrections of some typo

    Sub- and above barrier fusion of loosely bound 6^6Li with 28^{28}Si

    Full text link
    Fusion excitation functions are measured for the system 6^6Li+28^{28}Si using the characteristic γ\gamma-ray method, encompassing both the sub-barrier and above barrier regions, viz., ElabE_{lab}= 7-24 MeV. Two separate experiments were performed, one for the above barrier region (ElabE_{lab}= 11-24 MeV) and another for the below barrier region (ElabE_{lab}= 7-10 MeV). The results were compared with our previously measured fusion cross section for the 7^7Li+28^{28}Si system. We observed enhancement of fusion cross section at sub-barrier regions for both 6^6Li and 7^7Li, but yield was substantially larger for 6^6Li. However, for well above barrier regions, similar type of suppression was identified for both the systems.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, as accepted for publication in Eur.Phys.J.

    High spin states of 204^{204}At: search for isomeric states and evaluation of shears band structure

    Full text link
    High spin states of neutron deficient Trans-Lead nucleus 204^{204}At were populated up to Ex∼8 MeVE_x \sim 8\,{\rm MeV} through the 12^{12}C + 197^{197}Au fusion evaporation reaction. Decay of the high spin states including prompt and delayed gamma ray emission were studied to understand the underlying nuclear structure. The level scheme, which was partly known from earlier studies, was extended further through our experiment and analysis of spin and parity of the associated levels. An isomeric 16+16^+ level (τ=52(5) ns)(\tau=52(5)\, {\rm ns}), corresponding to M2M2 transition, was established from our measurements. Attempts were made at interpretation of the excited states based on multi quasiparticle and hole structure involving 2f5/22f_{5/2}, 1h9/21h_{9/2}, and 1i13/21i_{13/2} shell model states, along with moderate core excitation. Magnetic dipole band structure over the spin parity range:~16+−23+16^+ - 23^+, which was found in the earlier Gammasphere study, was confirmed and explored in more detail, including the missing cross-over E2E2 transitions. Band-crossing along the shears band was observed and compared with the evidence of similar phenomena in the neighboring neutron deficient 202^{202}Bi, 205^{205}Rn isotones and the neighbouring 203^{203}At isotope. Based on comparison of the measured B(M1)/B(E2)B(M1)/B(E2) values for transitions along the band with the semiclassical model based estimates, the shears band of 204^{204}At was firmly established along with the level scheme

    Of cattle, sand flies and men : a systematic review of risk factor analyses for South Asian visceral leishmaniasis and implications for elimination

    Get PDF
    Background: Studies performed over the past decade have identified fairly consistent epidemiological patterns of risk factors for visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in the Indian subcontinent. Methods and Principal Findings: To inform the current regional VL elimination effort and identify key gaps in knowledge, we performed a systematic review of the literature, with a special emphasis on data regarding the role of cattle because primary risk factor studies have yielded apparently contradictory results. Because humans form the sole infection reservoir, clustering of kala-azar cases is a prominent epidemiological feature, both at the household level and on a larger scale. Subclinical infection also tends to show clustering around kala-azar cases. Within villages, areas become saturated over a period of several years; kala-azar incidence then decreases while neighboring areas see increases. More recently, post kalaazar dermal leishmaniasis (PKDL) cases have followed kala-azar peaks. Mud walls, palpable dampness in houses, and peridomestic vegetation may increase infection risk through enhanced density and prolonged survival of the sand fly vector. Bed net use, sleeping on a cot and indoor residual spraying are generally associated with decreased risk. Poor micronutrient status increases the risk of progression to kala-azar. The presence of cattle is associated with increased risk in some studies and decreased risk in others, reflecting the complexity of the effect of bovines on sand fly abundance, aggregation, feeding behavior and leishmanial infection rates. Poverty is an overarching theme, interacting with individual risk factors on multiple levels. Conclusions: Carefully designed demonstration projects, taking into account the complex web of interconnected risk factors, are needed to provide direct proof of principle for elimination and to identify the most effective maintenance activities to prevent a rapid resurgence when interventions are scaled back. More effective, short-course treatment regimens for PKDL are urgently needed to enable the elimination initiative to succeed

    Isotopic Dependence of the Nuclear Caloric Curve

    The A/Z dependence of projectile fragmentation at relativistic energies has been studied with the ALADIN forward spectrometer at SIS. A stable beam of 124Sn and radioactive beams of 124La and 107Sn at 600 MeV per nucleon have been used in order to explore a wide range of isotopic compositions. Chemical freeze-out temperatures are found to be nearly invariant with respect to the A/Z of the produced spectator sources, consistent with predictions for expanded systems. Small Coulomb effects (\Delta T \approx 0.6 MeV) appear for residue production near the onset of multifragmentation.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publ. in Phys. Rev. Let
