Using parallel computing in modeling and optimization of mineral reserves extraction systems

Annotation This article describes algorithm for solving ultimate pit limit problem (UPIT), or a maximum weight closure problem. There are several method for solving this problem. We provide new approach, for solving ultimate pit limit problem using precedence model. Block model of open pit can be easily represented as an oriented graph. Then to solve ultimate pit limit problem it is required to find such a sub graph in a graph whose sum of weights will be maximal. One of the possible solutions of this problem is using genetic algorithms. We use a parallel genetic algorithm for accelerating of computational process. In this version of algorithm fitness function of each individual calculating in different thread. It allows reducing running time of algorithm.

Mean field effects in a trapped classical gas

In this article, we investigate mean field effects for a bosonic gas harmonically trapped above the transition temperature in the collisionless regime. We point out that those effects can play also a role in low dimensional system. Our treatment relies on the Boltzmann equation with the inclusion of the mean field term. The equilibrium state is first discussed. The dispersion relation for collective oscillations (monopole, quadrupole, dipole modes) is then derived. In particular, our treatment gives the frequency of the monopole mode in an isotropic and harmonic trap in the presence of mean field in all dimensions.Comment: 4 pages, no figure submitted to Phys.

Nucleotide sequence of the Galleria mellonella nuclear polyhedrosis virus origin of DNA replication

AbstractThe initiation sites of the Galleria mellonella L. nuclear polyhedrosis virus (G.m. NPV) DNA replication were revealed. For this purpose SCLd 135 cells permitting the G.m. NPV productive reproduction were transformed by the recombinant plasmids containing the viral genome individual fragments in pRSF 2124 and pBR 322 vectors. It was revealed that 2 of the 32 recombinant plasmids can autonomously replicate in the eucaryotic cells. According to the Maxam-Gilbert method the DNA G.m. NPV fragment (1300 bp) primary structure of pHBR plasmid was determined. The structure analysis revealed the typical regulator signals as in the replicons. The possible regulation mechanisms of the DNA G.m. NPV synthesis initiation was supposed

Bound state spectra of three-body muonic molecular ions

The results of highly accurate calculations are presented for all twenty-two known bound $S(L = 0)-, P(L = 1)-, D(L = 2)-$ and $F(L = 3)-$states in the six three-body muonic molecular ions $pp\mu, pd\mu, pt\mu, dd\mu, dt\mu$ and $tt\mu$. A number of bound state properties of these muonic molecular ions have been determined numerically to high accuracy. The dependence of the total energies of these muonic molecules upon particle masses is considered. We also discuss the current status of muon-catalysis of nuclear fusion reactions.Comment: This is the final version. All `techical' troubles with the Latex-file have been resolved. A few misprints/mistakes in the text were correcte

Stability of Attractive Bose-Einstein Condensates in a Periodic Potential

Using a standing light wave trap, a stable quasi-one-dimensional attractive dilute-gas Bose-Einstein condensate can be realized. In a mean-field approximation, this phenomenon is modeled by the cubic nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with attractive nonlinearity and an elliptic function potential of which a standing light wave is a special case. New families of stationary solutions are presented. Some of these solutions have neither an analog in the linear Schr\"odinger equation nor in the integrable nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. Their stability is examined using analytic and numerical methods. Trivial-phase solutions are experimentally stable provided they have nodes and their density is localized in the troughs of the potential. Stable time-periodic solutions are also examined.Comment: 12 pages, 18 figure

High-speed optical recording in vitreous chalcogenide thin films

Thin films of glassy chalcogenide semiconductor are widely used as recording media in optical data storage. To obtain relief micro- and nanoscale structures on the surface of optical master discs inorganic photoresists based on chalcogenide glassy semiconductors can be used. They have high resolution and allow for exposure by short laser pulses. Implementation of such exposure is promoted by increasing the speed of photostructural transformations at high powers of exposing radiation. This increase in the sensitivity is associated with both local heating by illumination and a high density of excited electron-hole pairs. The exposure mode of the inorganic photoresists based on glassy chalcogenide semiconductor pulses of 10⁻⁸-10⁻⁹ s is close to the threshold of local photothermal destruction. Significant impact on the value of the threshold of photothermal destruction effects the choice of the substrate material which determines the rate of heat removal from the irradiation area. Moreover, one also needs to consider the effect of pulsed annealing of the inorganic photoresist material on the process of selective etching. We have established an inversion of the selective etching of the inorganic negative photoresist based on As₂S₃ in the center of the irradiated zone. The diameter of this zone is about 20% of the diameter of exposing beam. After the selective etching in alkaline solution in the center of protrusions being formed on the substrate, there observed are some dimples with the depth of 30-50 nm. Prior to the processing of irradiated inorganic photoresist by the selective etching these dimples were absent and their appearance is not due to possible local material evaporation of the inorganic photoresist. A possible reason for the inversion of solubility of the inorganic photoresist could be pulsed annealing in the recording process

Higher-order modes damping is carried out using 6 waveguide loads, which are connected to one flat cavity wall by 6 rectangular waveguides. For accelerating mode they are cutoff waveguides. For effective coupling with higher-order modes waveguides are united in pairs. Three waveguide pairs are located azimuthally by 120 degrees.

Photon Distribution Amplitudes in QCD

We develop a consistent technique for the calculation of real photon emission in hard exclusive processes, which is based on the background field formalism and allows a convenient separation of hard electromagnetic and soft hadronic components of the photon. The latter ones are related to matrix-elements of light-cone operators in the electromagnetic background field and can be parametrized in terms of photon distribution amplitudes. We construct a complete set of photon distribution amplitudes up to and including twist-4, for both chirality-conserving and chirality-violating operators. The distribution amplitudes involve several nonperturbative parameters and, most importantly, the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate. We review and update previous estimates of the susceptibility and also give new estimates of parameters describing higher-twist amplitudes from QCD sum rules.Comment: 33 pages Late

Collective excitations of a two-dimensional interacting Bose gas in anti-trap and linear external potentials

We present a method of finding approximate analytical solutions for the spectra and eigenvectors of collective modes in a two-dimensional system of interacting bosons subjected to a linear external potential or the potential of a special form $u(x,y)=\mu -u \cosh^2 x/l$, where $\mu$ is the chemical potential. The eigenvalue problem is solved analytically for an artificial model allowing the unbounded density of the particles. The spectra of collective modes are calculated numerically for the stripe, the rare density valley and the edge geometry and compared with the analytical results. It is shown that the energies of the modes localized at the rare density region and at the edge are well approximated by the analytical expressions. We discuss Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the systems under investigations at $T\ne 0$ and find that in case of a finite number of the particles the regime of BEC can be realized, whereas the condensate disappears in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures include
