Non-rotating and rotating neutron stars in the extended field theoretical model
We study the properties of non-rotating and rotating neutron stars for a new
set of equations of state (EOSs) with different high density behaviour obtained
using the extended field theoretical model. The high density behaviour for
these EOSs are varied by varying the meson self-coupling and
hyperon-meson couplings in such a way that the quality of fit to the bulk
nuclear observables, nuclear matter incompressibility coefficient and
hyperon-nucleon potential depths remain practically unaffected. We find that
the largest value for maximum mass for the non-rotating neutron star is
. The radius for the neutron star with canonical mass is km provided only those EOSs are considered for which maximum mass is
larger than as it is the lower bound on the maximum mass measured
so far. Our results for the very recently discovered fastest rotating neutron
star indicate that this star is supra massive with mass and
circumferential equatorial radius km.Comment: 28 pages, 12 figures. Phys. Rev. C (in press
Underwater detection of dangerous substances: status the SABAT project
The Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) plays an exceptional role in the modern
nuclear engineering, especially in detection of hazardous substances. However,
in the aquatic environment, there are still many problems to be solved for
effective usage of this technique. We present status of SABAT (Stoichiometry
Analysis By Activation Techniques), one of the projects aiming at construction
of an underwater device for non-invasive threat detection based on the NAA
Therapeutic evaluation of homeopathic treatment for canine oral papillomatosis
Aim: A study was conducted to evaluate the ameliorative potential of homeopathic drugs in combination (Sulfur 30C, Thuja 30C, Graphites 30C, and Psorinum 30C) in 16 dogs affected with oral papillomatosis which was not undergone any previous treatment.
Materials and Methods: Dogs affected with oral papillomatosis, which have not undergone any initial treatment and fed with a regular diet. Dogs (total=16) were randomly divided into two groups, namely, homeopathic treatment group (n=8) and placebo control group (n=8). Random number table was used for allocation. Homeopathic combination of drugs and placebo drug (distilled water) was administered orally twice daily for 15 days. Clinical evaluation in both groups of dogs was performed by the same investigator throughout the period of study (12 months). Dogs were clinically scored for oral lesions on days 0, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 90, 120, and 150 after initiation of treatment.
Results: The homeopathic treatment group showed early recovery with a significant reduction in oral lesions reflected by clinical score (p<0.001) in comparison to placebo-treated group. Oral papillomatous lesions regressed in the homeopathic group between 7 and 15 days, whereas regression of papilloma in the placebo group occurred between 90 and 150 days. The homeopathic treated group was observed for 12 months post-treatment period and no recurrence of oral papilloma was observed.
Conclusion: The current study proves that the combination of homeopathy drugs aids in fastening the regression of canine oral papilloma and proved to be safe and cost-effective
Correlations in the properties of static and rapidly rotating compact stars
Correlations in the properties of the static compact stars (CSs) and the ones
rotating with the highest observed frequency of 1122Hz are studied using a
large set of equations of state (EOSs). These EOSs span various approaches and
their chemical composition vary from the nucleons to hyperons and quarks in
-equilibrium. It is found that the properties of static CS, like, the
maximum gravitational mass and radius corresponding to t he canonical mass and supramassive or
non-supramassive nature of the CS rotating at 1122 Hz are strongly correlated.
In particular, only those EOSs yield the CS rotating at 1122Hz to be
non-supramassive for which \left (\frac{M_{\rm max}^{\rm stat}}{M_\odot}\right
)^{1/2} \left (\frac{10{\rm km}}{R_{1.4}^{\rm stat}})^{3/2} is greater than
unity. Suitable parametric form which can be used to split the plane into the regions of different
supramassive nature of the CS rotating at 1122Hz is presented. Currently
measured maximum gravitational mass 1.76 of PSR J0437-4715 suggests
that the CS rotating at 1122Hz can be non-supramassive provided km.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figures, Appearing in Phys. Rev.
SOLVING HYBRID FUZZY FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS BY IMPROVED EULER METHOD
In this paper we study numerical methods for hybrid fuzzy fractional differential equations and the iteration method is used to solve the hybrid fuzzy fractional differential equations with a fuzzy initial condition. We consider a differential equation of fractional order and we compared the results with their exact solutions in order to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method. We further give the definition of the Degree of Sub element hood of hybrid fuzzy fractional differential equations with examples.
THE RESTRAINED STEINER NUMBER OF A GRAPH
For a connected graph G = (V, E) of order p, a set W ⊆ V is called a Steiner set of G if every vertex of G is contained in a Steiner W-tree of G. The Steiner number s(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of its Steiner sets. A set W of vertices of a graph G is a restrained Steiner set if W is a Steiner set, and if either W = V or the subgraph G[V − W ] induced by V − W has no isolated vertices. The minimum cardinality of a restrained Steiner set of G is the restrained Steiner number of G, and is denoted by s r (G). The restrained Steiner number of certain classes of graphs are determined. Connected graphs of order p with restrained Steiner number 2 are characterized. Various necessary conditions for the restrained Steiner number of a graph to be p are given. It is shown that, for integers a, b and p with 4 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ p, there exists a connected graph G of order p such that s(G) = a and s r (G) = b. It is also proved that for every pair of integers a, b with a ≥ 3 and b ≥ 3, there exists a connected graph G with s r (G) = a and g r (G) = b
