Correspondence between Electro-Magnetic Field and other Dark Energies in Non-linear Electrodynamics
In this work, we have considered the flat FRW model of the universe filled
with electro-magnetic field. First, the Maxwell's electro-magnetic field in
linear form has been discussed and after that the modified Lagrangian in
non-linear form for accelerated universe has been considered. The corresponding
energy density and pressure for non-linear electro-magnetic field have been
calculated. We have found the condition such that the electro-magnetic field
generates dark energy. The correspondence between the electro-magnetic field
and the other dark energy candidates namely tachyonic field, DBI-essence,
Chaplygin gas, hessence dark energy, k-essenece and dilaton dark energy have
been investigated. We have also reconstructed the potential functions and the
scalar fields in this scenario.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
The Rotation Of The Deep Solar Layers
From the analysis of low-order GOLF+MDI sectoral modes and LOWL data (l > 3),
we derive the solar radial rotation profile assuming no latitudinal dependance
in the solar core. These low-order acoustic modes contain the most
statistically significant information about rotation of the deepest solar
layers and should be least influenced by internal variability associated with
the solar dynamo. After correction of the sectoral splittings for their
contamination by the rotation of the higher latitudes, we obtain a flat
rotation profile down to 0.2 solar radius.Comment: accepted in ApJ Letters 5 pages, 2 figure

Method and apparatus for hybrid encryption
Described herein is a combination of mixed-signal hardware and software that is capable or realizing hybrid chaotic oscillators that can be tuned digitally. This includes the type/class of chaotic oscillator, initial conditions, nonlinear elements, thresholds, nonlinear event surfaces, delays, etc. At the same time, tunable methods of how to use the chaotic oscillator information to encrypt and decrypt both analog and digital information is presented. This will make the secure information not vulnerable by digital information compromises or hardware breach.Board of Regents, University of Texas Syste
Detection of reactive ions in the ultracompact HII regions Mon R2 and G29.96-0.02
We report the first detection of the reactive ions CO+ and HOC+ towards
ultracompact (UC) HII regions, particularly in Mon R2 and G29.96-0.02. We have
observed two positions in Mon R2, namely the peak of the UC HII region and a
position in the high density molecular cloud which bounds it. CO+ and HOC+ were
detected at the UC HII region but not at the molecular cloud, as expected if
the CO and HOC emissions arise in the PDR surrounding the \uch. The
measured CO and HOC column densities are of the order of 10
cm in both sources, which yields a strikingly low [HCO]/[HOC]
abundance ratio of 460 in Mon R2. These values are similar to those found in
some other well-known PDRs, like NGC 7023 and the Orion Bar. We briefly discuss
the chemical implications of these results.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures. Accepted by Astrophysical Journal Letter
Efficacy of capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency in the physiotherapeutic treatment of chronic pelvic pain syndrome : study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
Chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS) is a multifactorial disorder that affects 5.7% to 26.6% of women and 2.2% to 9.7% of men, characterized by hypersensitivity of the central and peripheral nervous system affecting bladder and genital function. People with CPPS have much higher rates of psychological disorders (anxiety, depression, and catastrophizing) that increase the severity of chronic pain and worsen quality of life. Myofascial therapy, manual therapy, and treatment of trigger points are proven therapeutic options for this syndrome. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMRF) at 448kHz as an adjunct treatment to other physiotherapeutic techniques for reducing pain and improving the quality of life of patients with CPPS. This triple-blind (1:1) randomized controlled trial will include 80 women and men with CPPS. Participants will be randomized into a CRMRF activated group or a CRMRF deactivated group and receive physiotherapeutic techniques and pain education. The groups will undergo treatment for 10 consecutive weeks. At the beginning of the trial there will be an evaluation of pain intensity (using VAS), quality of life (using the SF-12), kinesiophobia (using the TSK-11), and catastrophism (using the PCS), as well as at the sixth and tenth sessions. The results of this study will show that CRMRF benefits the treatment of patients with CPPS, together with physiotherapeutic techniques and pain education. These results could offer an alternative conservative treatment option for these patients. ClinicalTrials.gov . Registered on 8 January 2019.

Critical points in a relativistic bosonic gas induced by the quantum structure of spacetime
It is well known that phase transitions arise if the interaction among
particles embodies an attractive as well as a repulsive contribution. In this
work it will be shown that the breakdown of Lorentz symmetry, characterized
through a deformation in the relation dispersion, plus the bosonic statistics
predict the emergence of critical points. In other words, in some quantum
gravity models the structure of spacetime implies the emergence of critical
points even when no interaction among the particle has been considered.Comment: 5 pages, no figure
A quantum spin transducer based on nano electro-mechancial resonator arrays
Implementation of quantum information processing faces the contradicting
requirements of combining excellent isolation to avoid decoherence with the
ability to control coherent interactions in a many-body quantum system. For
example, spin degrees of freedom of electrons and nuclei provide a good quantum
memory due to their weak magnetic interactions with the environment. However,
for the same reason it is difficult to achieve controlled entanglement of spins
over distances larger than tens of nanometers. Here we propose a universal
realization of a quantum data bus for electronic spin qubits where spins are
coupled to the motion of magnetized mechanical resonators via magnetic field
gradients. Provided that the mechanical system is charged, the magnetic moments
associated with spin qubits can be effectively amplified to enable a coherent
spin-spin coupling over long distances via Coulomb forces. Our approach is
applicable to a wide class of electronic spin qubits which can be localized
near the magnetized tips and can be used for the implementation of hybrid
quantum computing architectures
Companions of Bright Barred Shapley Ames Galaxies
Companion galaxy environment for a subset of 78 bright and nearby barred
galaxies from the Shapley Ames Catalog is presented. Among spiral barred
galaxies there are Seyfert galaxies, galaxies with circumnuclear structures,
galaxies not associated with any large scale galaxy cloud structure, galaxies
with peculiar disk morphology (crooked arms) and galaxies with normal disk
morphology; the list includes all Hubble types. The companion galaxy list
includes number of companion galaxies within 20 diameters (D25), their Hubble
type and projected separation distance. Additionally, companion environment was
searched for four known active spiral galaxies, three of them are Seyfert
galaxies, namely, NGC 1068, NGC 1097, NGC 5548 and one is a starburst galaxy,
M82. Among the results obtained it is noted that the only spiral barred galaxy
classified as Sy 1 in our list has no companions within a projected distance of
20 diameters; 6 out of 10 Sy 2 bar galaxies have no companions within 10
diamters, 6 out of 10 Sy 2 galaxies have one or more companions at projected
separation distances between 10 and 20 diameters; 6 out of 12 galaxies with
circumnuclear structures have 2 or more companions within 20 diametersComment: Accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal, 40 pages incl.

Resonance and frequency-locking phenomena in spatially extended phytoplankton-zooplankton system with additive noise and periodic forces
In this paper, we present a spatial version of phytoplankton-zooplankton
model that includes some important factors such as external periodic forces,
noise, and diffusion processes. The spatially extended
phytoplankton-zooplankton system is from the original study by Scheffer [M
Scheffer, Fish and nutrients interplay determines algal biomass: a minimal
model, Oikos \textbf{62} (1991) 271-282]. Our results show that the spatially
extended system exhibit a resonant patterns and frequency-locking phenomena.
The system also shows that the noise and the external periodic forces play a
constructive role in the Scheffer's model: first, the noise can enhance the
oscillation of phytoplankton species' density and format a large clusters in
the space when the noise intensity is within certain interval. Second, the
external periodic forces can induce 4:1 and 1:1 frequency-locking and spatially
homogeneous oscillation phenomena to appear. Finally, the resonant patterns are
observed in the system when the spatial noises and external periodic forces are
both turned on. Moreover, we found that the 4:1 frequency-locking transform
into 1:1 frequency-locking when the noise intensity increased. In addition to
elucidating our results outside the domain of Turing instability, we provide
further analysis of Turing linear stability with the help of the numerical
calculation by using the Maple software. Significantly, oscillations are
enhanced in the system when the noise term presents. These results indicate
that the oceanic plankton bloom may partly due to interplay between the
stochastic factors and external forces instead of deterministic factors. These
results also may help us to understand the effects arising from undeniable
subject to random fluctuations in oceanic plankton bloom.Comment: Some typos errors are proof, and some strong relate references are

Coreless vortex ground state of the rotating spinor condensate
We study the ground state of the rotating spinor condensate and show that for
slow rotation the ground state of the ferromagnetic spinor condensate is a
coreless vortex. While coreless vortex is not topologically stable, we show
that there is an energetic threshold for the creation of a coreless vortex.
This threshold corresponds to a critical rotation frequency that vanishes as
the system size increases. Also, we demonstrate the dramatically different
behavior of the spinor condensate with anti-ferromagnetic interactions. For
anti-ferromagnetic spinor condensate the angular momentum as a function of
rotation frequency exhibits the familiar staircase behavior, but in contrast to
an ordinary condensate the first step is to the state with angular momentum 1/2
per particle.Comment: v2: Numerical parameters for trapping frequency in z-direction and
