Theoretical study of the decay-out spin of superdeformed bands in the Dy and Hg regions
Decay of the superdeformed bands have been studied mainly concentrating upon
the decay-out spin, which is sensitive to the tunneling probability between the
super- and normal-deformed wells. Although the basic features are well
understood by the calculations, it is difficult to precisely reproduce the
decay-out spins in some cases. Comparison of the systematic calculations with
experimental data reveals that values of the calculated decay-out spins scatter
more broadly around the average value in both the 150 and 190
regions, which reflects the variety of calculated tunneling probability in each
band.Comment: 6 pages 4 figures (30 PS files). To appear in Proc. of NS2000

Quantum Nernst effect in a bismuth single crystal
We report a theoretical calculation explaining the quantum Nernst effect
observed experimentally in a bismuth single crystal. Generalizing the
edge-current picture in two dimensions, we show that the peaks of the Nernst
coefficient survive in three dimensions due to a van Hove singularity. We also
evaluate the phonon-drag effect on the Nernst coefficient numerically. Our
result agrees with the experimental result for a bismuth single crystal.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Proceedings of ISQM-Tokyo '0
Approximation Formulations for the Single Product Capacitated Lot Size Problem
We consider two approximation formulations for the single product capacitated lot size problem. They correspond respectively to a restriction of the number of production policies and to the rounding of demands up to multiples of a constant. After briefly reviewing the literature within a new % ~ framework, we discuss the relations between these approximation formulations. Next, we provide relative error bounds and algorithms for solving the approximation problems. We demonstrate that these approximation formulations require a significantly smaller number of calculations than the original formulation, and that the relative error bounds are satisfactory for practical purposes
Dynamics of a deformable self-propelled domain
We investigate the dynamical coupling between the motion and the deformation
of a single self-propelled domain based on two different model systems in two
dimensions. One is represented by the set of ordinary differential equations
for the center of gravity and two tensor variables characterizing deformations.
The other is an active cell model which has an internal mechanism of motility
and is represented by the partial differential equation for deformations.
Numerical simulations show a rich variety of dynamics, some of which are common
to the two model systems. The origin of the similarity and the difference is
discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Self-consistent collective subspaces and diabatic/adiabatic motion in nuclei
We discuss the application of a theory of large-amplitude collective motion
to a simple model mimicking the pairing-plus-quadrupole model of nuclear
physics.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex using graphicx.sty, 1 postscript figures included.

Effect of humidity on transonic flow
An experimental investigation of the effects of humidity-induced condensation on shock/boundary-layer
interaction has been conducted in a transonic wind-tunnel test. The test geometry considered was a wall-mounted
bump model inserted in the test section of the wind tunnel. The formation of a λ-shape condensation shock wave was
shown from schlieren visualization and resulted in a forward movement of the shock wave, reduced shock wave
strength, and reduced separation. Empirical correlations of the shock wave strength and humidity/dew point
temperature were established. For humidity levels below 0.15 or a dew point temperature of 268 K, the effect of
humidity was negligible. The unsteady pressure measurements showed that if a condensation shock wave formed and
interacted with a main shock wave, the flow becomes unsteady with periodic flow oscillations occurring at 720 Hz
