RESEARCHES ON THE INFLUENCE OF RISKS IN INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS’ PROCESSES WHEN IMPLEMENTING QUALITY-RISK INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The concept of the integrated quality-risk management system can be defined as a set of methodologies, associated processes that invariably use human resources, material and financial resources, equipments and knowledge, in order to meet the objectives aimed at satisfying all interested parties.In the conditions of fulfilling the integrated management system, it will bring many economic and financial benefits in order to reduce the consumption of resources and increase the profit. If implemented correctly, the quality-risk integrated management system will include all business competencies in a systematic environment that will deliver on the mission of the organization, contribute to increasing benefits, optimize resource consumption, and reduce costs to maintain multiple integrated management systems
Characterizing asymptotically anti-de Sitter black holes with abundant stable gauge field hair
In the light of the "no-hair" conjecture, we revisit stable black holes in
su(N) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory with a negative cosmological constant. These
black holes are endowed with copious amounts of gauge field hair, and we
address the question of whether these black holes can be uniquely characterized
by their mass and a set of global non-Abelian charges defined far from the
black hole. For the su(3) case, we present numerical evidence that stable black
hole configurations are fixed by their mass and two non-Abelian charges. For
general N, we argue that the mass and N-1 non-Abelian charges are sufficient to
characterize large stable black holes, in keeping with the spirit of the
"no-hair" conjecture, at least in the limit of very large magnitude
cosmological constant and for a subspace containing stable black holes (and
possibly some unstable ones as well).Comment: 33 pages, 13 figures, minor change
Melvin solution with a dilaton potential
We find new Melvin-like solutions in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton gravity with a
Liouville-type dilaton potential. The properties of the corresponding solution
in Freedman-Schwarz gauged supergravity model are extensively studied. We show
that this configuration is regular and geodesically complete but do not
preserve any supersymmetry. An exact solution describing travelling waves in
this Melvin-type background is also presented.Comment: 12 pages, LaTeX, no figure
Nuttier Bubbles
We construct new explicit solutions of general relativity from double
analytic continuations of Taub-NUT spacetimes. This generalizes previous
studies of 4-dimensional nutty bubbles. One 5-dimensional locally
asymptotically AdS solution in particular has a special conformal boundary
structure of . We compute its boundary stress tensor and
relate it to the properties of the dual field theory. Interestingly enough, we
also find consistent 6-dimensional bubble solutions that have only one timelike
direction. The existence of such spacetimes with non-trivial topology is
closely related to the existence of the Taub-NUT(-AdS) solutions with more than
one NUT charge. Finally, we begin an investigation of generating new solutions
from Taub-NUT spacetimes and nuttier bubbles. Using the so-called Hopf duality,
we provide new explicit time-dependent backgrounds in six dimensions.Comment: 32 pages, 1 figure; v.3. typos corrected. Matches the published

The Bethe Ansatz for Z_S Orbifolds of N=4 Super Yang-Mills Theory
Worldsheet techniques can be used to argue for the integrability of string
theory on AdS_5xS^5/Z_S, which is dual to the strongly coupled Z_S-orbifold of
N=4 SYM. We analyze the integrability of these field theories in the
perturbative regime and construct the relevant Bethe equations.Comment: 16 page
Back-hopping in Spin-Transfer-Torque switching of perpendicularly magnetized tunnel junctions
We analyse the phenomenon of back-hopping in spin-torque induced switching of
the magnetization in perpendicularly magnetized tunnel junctions. The analysis
is based on single-shot time-resolved conductance measurements of the
pulse-induced back-hopping. Studying several material variants reveals that the
back-hopping is a feature of the nominally fixed system of the tunnel junction.
The back-hopping is found to proceed by two sequential switching events that
lead to a final state P' of conductance close to --but distinct from-- that of
the conventional parallel state. The P' state does not exist at remanence. It
generally relaxes to the conventional antiparallel state if the current is
removed. The P' state involves a switching of the sole spin-polarizing part of
the fixed layers. The analysis of literature indicates that back-hopping occurs
only when the spin-polarizing layer is too weakly coupled to the rest of the
fixed system, which justifies a posteriori the mitigation strategies of
back-hopping that were implemented empirically in spin-transfer-torque magnetic
random access memories.Comment: submitted to Phys Rev.
Classical Yang-Mills Black hole hair in anti-de Sitter space
The properties of hairy black holes in Einstein–Yang–Mills (EYM) theory are reviewed, focusing on spherically symmetric solutions. In particular, in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space (adS) stable black hole hair is known to exist for frak su(2) EYM. We review recent work in which it is shown that stable hair also exists in frak su(N) EYM for arbitrary N, so that there is no upper limit on how much stable hair a black hole in adS can possess
Origin of the reduced exchange bias in epitaxial FeNi(111)/CoO(111) bilayer
We have employed Soft and Hard X-ray Resonant Magnetic Scattering and
Polarised Neutron Diffraction to study the magnetic interface and the bulk
antiferromagnetic domain state of the archetypal epitaxial
NiFe(111)/CoO(111) exchange biased bilayer. The combination of
these scattering tools provides unprecedented detailed insights into the still
incomplete understanding of some key manifestations of the exchange bias
effect. We show that the several orders of magnitude difference between the
expected and measured value of exchange bias field is caused by an almost
anisotropic in-plane orientation of antiferromagnetic domains. Irreversible
changes of their configuration lead to a training effect. This is directly seen
as a change in the magnetic half order Bragg peaks after magnetization
reversal. A 30 nm size of antiferromagnetic domains is extracted from the width
the (1/2 1/2 1/2) antiferromagnetic magnetic peak measured both by neutron and
x-ray scattering. A reduced blocking temperature as compared to the measured
antiferromagnetic ordering temperature clearly corresponds to the blocking of
antiferromagnetic domains. Moreover, an excellent correlation between the size
of the antiferromagnetic domains, exchange bias field and frozen-in spin ratio
is found, providing a comprehensive understanding of the origin of exchange
bias in epitaxial systems.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, submitte
Chaos in Axially Symmetric Potentials with Octupole Deformation
Classical and quantum mechanical results are reported for the single particle
motion in a harmonic oscillator potential which is characterized by a
quadrupole deformation and an additional octupole deformation. The chaotic
character of the motion is srongly dependent on the quadrupole deformation in
that for a prolate deformation virtually no chaos is discernible while for the
oblate case the motion shows strong chaos when the octupole term is turned on.Comment: 6 pages LaTex plus 4 figures available by contacting the authors
