On Multistage Learning a Hidden Hypergraph
Learning a hidden hypergraph is a natural generalization of the classical
group testing problem that consists in detecting unknown hypergraph
by carrying out edge-detecting tests. In the given paper we
focus our attention only on a specific family of localized
hypergraphs for which the total number of vertices , the number of
edges , , and the cardinality of any edge ,
. Our goal is to identify all edges of by
using the minimal number of tests. We develop an adaptive algorithm that
matches the information theory bound, i.e., the total number of tests of the
algorithm in the worst case is at most . We also discuss
a probabilistic generalization of the problem.Comment: 5 pages, IEEE conferenc
Angular dependence of the coherent peak position in the polarization bremsstrahlung spectrum of relativistic electrons in polycrystalline targets
The spectra of the polarization bremsstrahlung (PB) in the X-ray range induced by 7-MeV electrons in polycrystalline Al, Cu, and Ni polycrystalline films have been measured and the angular dependences of the PB characteristics have been studiedyesBelgorod State Universit
Behavior of bulk high-temperature superconductors of finite thickness subjected to crossed magnetic fields
Crossed magnetic field effects on bulk high-temperature superconductors have
been studied both experimentally and numerically. The sample geometry
investigated involves finite-size effects along both (crossed) magnetic field
directions. The experiments were carried out on bulk melt-processed Y-Ba-Cu-O
(YBCO) single domains that had been pre-magnetized with the applied field
parallel to their shortest direction (i.e. the c-axis) and then subjected to
several cycles of the application of a transverse magnetic field parallel to
the sample ab plane. The magnetic properties were measured using orthogonal
pick-up coils, a Hall probe placed against the sample surface and
Magneto-Optical Imaging (MOI). We show that all principal features of the
experimental data can be reproduced qualitatively using a two-dimensional
finite-element numerical model based on an E-J power law and in which the
current density flows perpendicularly to the plane within which the two
components of magnetic field are varied. The results of this study suggest that
the suppression of the magnetic moment under the action of a transverse field
can be predicted successfully by ignoring the existence of flux-free
configurations or flux-cutting effects. These investigations show that the
observed decay in magnetization results from the intricate modification of
current distribution within the sample cross-section. It is also shown that the
model does not predict any saturation of the magnetic induction, even after a
large number (~ 100) of transverse field cycles. These features are shown to be
consistent with the experimental data.Comment: 41 pages, 9 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev. B Changes : 8 references

Magneto-optical studies of the uniform critical state in bulk MgB2
We present a detailed magneto-optical investigation of the magnetic flux
penetration in polycrystalline MgB2 slabs made by direct reaction of B and Mg.
Our results unambiguously indicate a uniform, Bean critical state magnetization
behavior with almost no electromagnetic granularity. From the measured magnetic
flux profiles we were able to extract the temperature dependence of the
critical current density Jc(T). The Jc(T) value reaches 1.8x10^5 A/cm2 at 10K
and 0.12T, in good agreement with global magnetization measurements
