Ionization effects due to solar flare on terrestrial ionosphere
Sudden frequency deviation ionospheric disturbances related to the flares of May 18 and 19, 1973 were observed from the NASA/MSFC high frequency Doppler sounder array system in Huntsville, Alabama. The results are compared with those observed at Table Mountain near Boulder, Colorado and at the University of Hawaii
An extended finite element method with smooth nodal stress
The enrichment formulation of double-interpolation finite element method
(DFEM) is developed in this paper. DFEM is first proposed by Zheng \emph{et al}
(2011) and it requires two stages of interpolation to construct the trial
function. The first stage of interpolation is the same as the standard finite
element interpolation. Then the interpolation is reproduced by an additional
procedure using the nodal values and nodal gradients which are derived from the
first stage as interpolants. The re-constructed trial functions are now able to
produce continuous nodal gradients, smooth nodal stress without post-processing
and higher order basis without increasing the total degrees of freedom. Several
benchmark numerical examples are performed to investigate accuracy and
efficiency of DFEM and enriched DFEM. When compared with standard FEM,
super-convergence rate and better accuracy are obtained by DFEM. For the
numerical simulation of crack propagation, better accuracy is obtained in the
evaluation of displacement norm, energy norm and the stress intensity factor
Correlations in local measurements on a quantum state, and complementarity as an explanation of nonclassicality
We consider the classical correlations that two observers can extract by
measurements on a bipartite quantum state, and we discuss how they are related
to the quantum mutual information of the state. We show with several examples
how complementarity gives rise to a gap between the quantum and the classical
correlations, and we relate our quantitative finding to the so-called classical
correlation locked in a quantum state. We derive upper bounds for the sum of
classical correlation obtained by measurements in different mutually unbiased
bases and we show that the complementarity gap is also present in the
deterministic quantum computation with one quantum bit.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, references adde
Authorization and access control of application data in Workflow systems
Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) are used to support the modeling and coordinated execution of business processes within an organization or across organizational boundaries. Although some research efforts have addressed requirements for authorization and access control for workflow systems, little attention has been paid to the requirements as they apply to application data accessed or managed by WfMSs. In this paper, we discuss key access control requirements for application data in workflow applications using examples from the healthcare domain, introduce a classification of application data used in workflow systems by analyzing their sources, and then propose a comprehensive data authorization and access control mechanism for WfMSs. This involves four aspects: role, task, process instance-based user group, and data content. For implementation, a predicate-based access control method is used. We believe that the proposed model is applicable to workflow applications and WfMSs with diverse access control requirements
