Diseño de un sistema de control de temperatura para una incubadora de huevos

In general, an egg incubator is used to increase the productivity of poultry egg incubation. This tool develops a set of important variables that influence the incubation process for successful hatching, one of these variables is temperature. In order to increase the percentage of hatchability of the system, it is necessary to be able to guarantee temperature stability. This article will address the problem of temperature control in a hen egg incubator, which is key to obtaining baby chicks in optimal conditions. Using the PID control system, the aim is to provide a solution to the temperature variation that occurs in the incubation process. Thus, the purpose of this article is to design a temperature control system based on mathematical calculations using experimental data.  En general, una incubadora de huevos se utiliza para aumentar la productividad de la incubación de huevos de aves de corral. Esta herramienta desarrolla un conjunto de variables importantes que influyen en el proceso de incubación para una eclosión exitosa, una de estas variables es la temperatura. Para elevar el porcentaje de incubabilidad del sistema, este requiere poder garantizar una estabilidad en la temperatura. En este artículo se abordará el problema del control de la temperatura en una incubadora de huevos de gallina, que es clave para la obtención de pollos bebé en óptimas condiciones. Utilizando el sistema de control PID se busca aportar una solución a la variación de temperatura que se presenta en el proceso de incubación. Así pues, la finalidad de este artículo es diseñar un sistema de control de temperatura a partir de cálculos matemáticos tomando como base datos experimentales. &nbsp

Quantum effects and superquintessence in the new age of precision cosmology

Recent observations of Type Ia supernova at high redshifts establish that the dark energy component of the universe has (a probably constant) ratio between pressure and energy density $w=p/\rho=-1.02(^{+0.13}_{-0.19})$. The conventional quintessence models for dark energy are restricted to the range $-1\le w < 0$, with the cosmological constant corresponding to $w=-1$. Conformally coupled quintessence models are the simplest ones compatible with the marginally allowed superaccelerated regime ($w<-1$). However, they are known to be plagued with anisotropic singularities. We argue here that the extension of the classical approach to the semiclassical one, with the inclusion of quantum counterterms necessary to ensure the renormalization, can eliminate the anisotropic singularities preserving the isotropic behavior of conformally coupled superquintessence models. Hence, besides of having other interesting properties, they are consistent candidates to describe the superaccelerated phases of the universe compatible with the present experimental data.Comment: 7 pages.

The geometrical form for the string space-time action

In the present article, we derive the space-time action of the bosonic string in terms of geometrical quantities. First, we study the space-time geometry felt by probe bosonic string moving in antisymmetric and dilaton background fields. We show that the presence of the antisymmetric field leads to the space-time torsion, and the presence of the dilaton field leads to the space-time nonmetricity. Using these results we obtain the integration measure for space-time with stringy nonmetricity, requiring its preservation under parallel transport. We derive the Lagrangian depending on stringy curvature, torsion and nonmetricity.Comment: 13 page

Frames of reference in spaces with affine connections and metrics

A generalized definition of a frame of reference in spaces with affine connections and metrics is proposed based on the set of the following differential-geometric objects: (a) a non-null (non-isotropic) vector field, (b) the orthogonal to the vector field sub space, (c) an affine connection and the related to it covariant differential operator determining a transport along the given non-null vector filed. On the grounds of this definition other definitions related to the notions of accelerated, inertial, proper accelerated and proper inertial frames of reference are introduced and applied to some mathematical models for the space-time. The auto-parallel equation is obtained as an Euler-Lagrange's equation. Einstein's theory of gravitation appears as a theory for determination of a special frame of reference (with the gravitational force as inertial force) by means of the metrics and the characteristics of a material distribution.

No Scalar Hair Theorem for a Charged Spherical Black Hole

This paper consolidates noscalar hair theorem for a charged spherically symmetric black hole in four dimension in general relativity as well as in all scalar tensor theories, both minimally and nonminimally coupled, when the effective Newtonian constant of gravity is positive. However, there is an exception when the matter field itself is coupled to the scalar field, such as in dilaton gravity.Comment: 13 pages, Latex format, some minor corrections are made, accepted for publication in Physical Review

Hairs on the cosmological horizon

We investigate the possibility of having hairs on the cosmological horizon. The cosmological horizon shares similar properties of black hole horizons in the aspect of having hairs on the horizons. For those theories admitting haired black hole solutions, the nontrivial matter fields may reach and extend beyond the cosmological horizon. For Q-stars and boson stars, the matter fields cannot reach the cosmological horizon. The no short hair conjecture keeps valid, despite the asymptotic behavior (de Sitter or anti-de Sitter) of black hole solutions. We prove the no scalar hair theorem for anti-de Sitter black holes. Using the Bekenstein's identity method, we also prove the no scalar hair theorem for the de Sitter space and de Sitter black holes if the scalar potential is convex.Comment: Revtex, no figures, 16 page

A Geometric Formulation of Quantum Stress Fields

We present a derivation of the stress field for an interacting quantum system within the framework of local density functional theory. The formulation is geometric in nature and exploits the relationship between the strain tensor field and Riemannian metric tensor field. Within this formulation, we demonstrate that the stress field is unique up to a single ambiguous parameter. The ambiguity is due to the non-unique dependence of the kinetic energy on the metric tensor. To illustrate this formalism, we compute the pressure field for two phases of solid molecular hydrogen. Furthermore, we demonstrate that qualitative results obtained by interpreting the hydrogen pressure field are not influenced by the presence of the kinetic ambiguity.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures.

Probing leptogenesis

The focus of this paper lies on the possible experimental tests of leptogenesis scenarios. We consider both leptogenesis generated from oscillations, as well as leptogenesis from out-of-equilibrium decays. As the Akhmedov-Rubakov-Smirnov (ARS) mechanism allows for heavy neutrinos in the GeV range, this opens up a plethora of possible experimental tests, e.g. at neutrino oscillation experiments, neutrinoless double beta decay, and direct searches for neutral heavy leptons at future facilities. In contrast, testing leptogenesis from out-of-equilibrium decays is a quite difficult task. We comment on the necessary conditions for having successful leptogenesis at the TeV-scale. We further discuss possible realizations and their model specific testability in extended seesaw models, models with extended gauge sectors, and supersymmetric leptogenesis. Not being able to test high-scale leptogenesis directly, we present a way to falsify such scenarios by focusing on their washout processes. This is discussed specifically for the left-right symmetric model and the observation of a heavy WR, as well as model independently when measuring L = 2 washout processes at the LHC or neutrinoless double beta decay.Fil: Chun, E.
