Dynamics of Charged Bulk Viscous Collapsing Cylindrical Source With Heat Flux
In this paper, we have explored the effects of dissipation on the dynamics of
charged bulk viscous collapsing cylindrical source which allows the out follow
of heat flux in the form of radiations. Misner-Sharp formulism has been
implemented to drive the dynamical equation in term of proper time and radial
derivatives. We have investigated the effects of charge and bulk viscosity on
the dynamics of collapsing cylinder. To determine the effects of radial heat
flux, we have formulated the heat transport equations in the context of
Mller-Israel-Stewart theory by assuming that thermodynamics
viscous/heat coupling coefficients can be neglected within some approximations.
In our discussion, we have introduced the viscosity by the standard
(non-casual) thermodynamics approach. The dynamical equations have been coupled
with the heat transport equation equation, the consequences of resulting
coupled heat equation have been analyzed in detail.Comment: 17 Pages, no figur
Magnetohydrodynamic Viscous Flow Over a Shrinking Sheet With Second Order Slip Flow Model
In this paper, we investigate the magnetohydrodynamic viscous flow with
second order slip flow model over a permeable shrinking surface. We have
obtained the closed form of exact solution of Navier-Stokes equations by using
similarity variable technique. The effects of slip, suction and magnetic
parameter have been investigated in detail. The results show that there are two
solution branches, namely lower and upper solution branch. The behavior of
velocity and shear stress profiles for different values of slip, suction and
magnetic parameters has been discussed through graphs.Comment: 13 Pages, 8 Figures. Accepted for Publication in Heat Transfer

Interferometric detection of spin-polarized transport in the depletion layer of a metal-GaAs Schottky barrier
It is shown that the Kerr rotation of spin-polarized electrons is modulated
by the distance of the electrons from the sample surface. Time-resolved Kerr
rotation of optically-excited spin-polarized electrons in the depletion layer
of n-doped GaAs displays fast oscillations that originate from an interference
between the light reflected from the semiconductor surface and from the front
of the electron distribution moving into the semiconductor. Using this effect,
the dynamics of the photogenerated charge carriers in the depletion layer of
the biased Schottky barrier is measured.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Hardware synthesis from DDL description
The details of digital systems can be conveniently input into the design automation system by means of hardware description language (HDL). The computer aided design and test (CADAT) system at NASA MSFC is used for the LSI design. The digital design language (DDL) was selected as HDL for the CADAT System. DDL translator output can be used for the hardware implementation of the digital design. Problems of selecting the standard cells from the CADAT standard cell library to realize the logic implied by the DDL description of the system are addressed
EMRI corrections to the angular velocity and redshift factor of a mass in circular orbit about a Kerr black hole
This is the first of two papers on computing the self-force in a radiation
gauge for a particle moving in circular, equatorial orbit about a Kerr black
hole. In the EMRI (extreme-mass-ratio inspiral) framework, with mode-sum
renormalization, we compute the renormalized value of the quantity
, gauge-invariant under gauge transformations
generated by a helically symmetric gauge vector; and we find the related order
correction to the particle's angular velocity at fixed renormalized
redshift (and to its redshift at fixed angular velocity). The radiative part of
the perturbed metric is constructed from the Hertz potential which is extracted
from the Weyl scalar by an algebraic inversion\cite{sf2}. We then write the
spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics as a sum over spin-weighted spherical
harmonics and use mode-sum renormalization to find the renormalization
coefficients by matching a series in to the large- behavior of
the expression for . The
non-radiative parts of the perturbed metric associated with changes in mass and
angular momentum are calculated in the Kerr gauge
High Bandwidth Atomic Magnetometery with Continuous Quantum Non-demolition Measurements
We describe an experimental study of spin-projection noise in a high
sensitivity alkali-metal magnetometer. We demonstrate a four-fold improvement
in the measurement bandwidth of the magnetometer using continuous quantum
non-demolition (QND) measurements. Operating in the scalar mode with a
measurement volume of 2 cm^3 we achieve magnetic field sensitivity of 22
fT/Hz^(1/2) and a bandwidth of 1.9 kHz with a spin polarization of only 1%. Our
experimental arrangement is naturally back-action evading and can be used to
realize sub-fT sensitivity with a highly polarized spin-squeezed atomic vapor.Comment: 4 page
Cataract How Important Is Age of Intervention?
Purpose: To study effect of age of intervention on visual outcome following treatment of pediatric patients with cataract.
Setting: Tertiary eye care centre in Dahod at the trijunction of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan states in central western India.
Participants: 705 eyes of 1047 patients
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study. We studied a consecutive series of pediatric patients with congenital, developing, or COMPLICATED
cataracts who underwent surgery between January, 1999 and April, 2012 at our center. Patient demographics, cataract type, presenting symptoms, surgical intervention, postoperative visual acuity, and follow-up refractive changes were recorded.
Primary Outcome measures: vision.
Results: In total, 1305 eyes of 1047 children were included: unilateral cataracts were present in 786 (60.2%) eyes. There were 600 (46.7%) traumatic and 705 (53.3%) non-traumatic cases. Ages at surgery ranged from 1 to 215 months. Eyes were grouped by the age of surgical intervention performed: Group 1,</= 5 years including 177 (25.1%) eyes, and Group 2, >5 years, including 528 (74.9%) eyes either by anterior or pars plana route ± IOL placement. The mean follow-up time was 117 days. Ultimately, 128 (18.2%) Group 1 and 213 (30.2%)
Group 2 patients achieved a visual acuity better than 20/80 (P < 0.001). Age at intervention was significantly related (all P < 0.001) to visual outcome.
Conclusions: Age of intervention affects visual outcome significantly (p<0.001)
