Shock structures in time averaged patterns for the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation

The Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with fixed boundary conditions is numerically studied. Shocklike structures appear in the time-averaged patterns for some parameter range of the boundary values. Effective diffusion constant is estimated from the relation of the width and the height of the shock structures.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure

Quantum model for magnetic multivalued recording in coupled multilayers

In this paper, we discuss the possibilities of realizing the magnetic multi-valued (MMV) recording in a magnetic coupled multilayer. The hysteresis loop of a double-layer system is studied analytically, and the conditions for achieving the MMV recording are given. The conditions are studied from different respects, and the phase diagrams for the anisotropic parameters are given in the end.Comment: 8 pages, LaTex formatted, 7 figures (those who are interested please contact the authors requring the figures) Submitted to Physal Review B.

Statistical Inference for the Transformed Rayleigh Lomax Distribution with Progressive Type-II Right Censorship

In this paper, we study the transformed Rayleigh Lomax (Trans-RL) distribution which belongs to a certain family of two parameters lifetime distributions given by Wang et al (2010). Confidence intervals and inverse estimators of the Trans-RL parameters are derived in terms of order statistics. A simulation study is conducted to report the coverage probabilities, the average biases and the average relative mean square errors for the maximum likelihood, L-moments and inverse estimators. We compare the performance of these methods under different schemes of progressively Type-II right censoring. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the proposed methods

^{59}Co NMR evidence for charge ordering below T_{CO}\sim 51 K in Na_{0.5}CoO_2

The CoO$_{2}$ layers in sodium-cobaltates Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ may be viewed as a spin $S=1/2$ triangular-lattice doped with charge carriers. The underlying physics of the cobaltates is very similar to that of the high $T_{c}$ cuprates. We will present unequivocal $^{59}$Co NMR evidence that below $T_{CO}\sim51 K$, the insulating ground state of the itinerant antiferromagnet Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_{2}$ ($T_{N}\sim 86 K$) is induced by charge ordering.Comment: Phys.

Enhancement of bulk second-harmonic generation from silicon nitride films by material composition

We present a comprehensive tensorial characterization of second-harmonic generation from silicon nitride films with varying composition. The samples were fabricated using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and the material composition was varied by the reactive gas mixture in the process. We found a six-fold enhancement between the lowest and highest second-order susceptibility, with the highest value of approximately 5 pm/V from the most silicon-rich sample. Moreover, the optical losses were found to be sufficiently small (below 6 dB/cm) for applications. The tensorial results show that all samples retain in-plane isotropy independent of silicon content, highlighting the controllability of the fabrication process.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables; Re-submitted to Optics Letter

And Agronomical Characters on 18 Selected Genotypes of Bambara Groundnut (Vigna Subterranea (L.) Verdcourt)

In Indonesia, bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdcourt) is an unpopular and minor crops, but it has an important role in the food diversification program. Bambara groundnut contains high carbohydrate and protein with relatively low fat. Recently the demand of bambara groundnut began to increase the imbalance between supply and demand is an excellent chance to develop this crop. An effort to increase crop production through plant breeding programs require genetic variability of plant populations. The purpose of this research is to determine variability of morphological and agronomical characters on 18 selected genotypes of bambara groundnut. This research was conducted at the experimental field state on Jatikerto of Agriculture Faculty, University of Brawijaya, Malang. Research began December 2013 until May 2014. The research using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The materials used 13 local genotypes come from Sumedang, Lamongan, Bangkalan and introduction genotypes from University of Kasetsart Thailand. The result of this research show that there were different variability of morphological character, except characters of pod shape and pigmentation on wings and banner flower. While there were different variability of agronomical characters, except characters of number of leaves. The value of genetic variability coeffisient on all characters were low, while the value of phenotip variability coefficient only in character results was quite high

The effect of different baryons impurities

We demonstrate the different effect of different baryons impurities on the static properties of nuclei within the framework of the relativistic mean-field model. Systematic calculations show that $\Lambda_c^+$ and $\Lambda_b$ has the same attracting role as $\Lambda$ hyperon does in lighter hypernuclei. $\Xi^-$ and $\Xi_c^0$ hyperon has the attracting role only for the protons distribution, and has a repulsive role for the neutrons distribution. On the contrary, $\Xi^0$ and $\Xi^+_c$ hyperon attracts surrounding neutrons and reveals a repulsive force to the protons. We find that the different effect of different baryons impurities on the nuclear core is due to the different third component of their isospin.Comment: 9 page

Possible superconductivity above 25 K in single crystalline Co-doped BaFe2_{2}As2_{2}

We present superconducting properties of single crystalline Ba(Fe$_{0.9}$Co$_{0.1}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ by measuring magnetization, resistivity, upper critical field, Hall coefficient, and magneto-optical images. The magnetization measurements reveal fish-tail hysteresis loop at high temperatures and relatively high critical current density above $J_{c}=10^{5}$ A/cm$^{2}$ at low temperatures. Upper critical field determined by resistive transition is anisotropic with anisotropic parameter $\sim$ 3.5. Hall effect measurements indicate that Ba(Fe$_{0.9}$Co$_{0.1}$)$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is a multiband system and the mobility of electron is dominant. The magneto-optical imaging reveals prominent Bean-like penetration of vortices although there is a slight inhomogeneity in a sample. Moreover, we find a distinct superconductivity above 25 K, which leads us to speculate that higher transition temperature can be realized by fine tuning Co-doping level.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
