Entanglement dynamics following a sudden quench: an exact solution
We present an exact and fully analytical treatment of the entanglement
dynamics for an isolated system of coupled oscillators following a sudden
quench of the system parameters. The system is analyzed using the solutions of
the time dependent Schrodinger's equation, which are obtained by solving the
corresponding nonlinear Ermakov equations. The entanglement entropies exhibit a
multi-oscillatory behaviour, where the number of dynamically generated time
scales increases with . The harmonic chains exhibit entanglement revival and
for larger values of , we find near-critical logarithmic scaling for
the entanglement entropy, which is modulated by a time dependent factor. The
case is equivalent to the two site Bose-Hubbard model in the tunneling
regime, which is amenable to empirical realization in cold atom systems.Comment: Figure for large N added, discussion related with near critical

A Hybrid Model for QCD Deconfining Phase Boundary
Intensive search for a proper and realistic equations of state (EOS) is still
continued for studying the phase diagram existing between quark gluon plasma
(QGP) and hadron gas (HG) phases. Lattice calculations provide such EOS for the
strongly interacting matter at finite temperature () and vanishing baryon
chemical potential (). These calculations are of limited use at finite
due to the appearance of notorious sign problem. In the recent past,
we had constructed a hybrid model description for the QGP as well as HG phases
where we make use of a new excluded-volume model for HG and a
thermodynamically-consistent quasiparticle model for the QGP phase and used
them further to get QCD phase boundary and a critical point. Since then many
lattice calculations have appeared showing various thermal and transport
properties of QCD matter at finite and . We test our hybrid
model by reproducing the entire data for strongly interacting matter and
predict our results at finite so that they can be tested in future.
Finally we demonstrate the utility of the model in fixing the precise location,
the order of the phase transition and the nature of CP existing on the QCD
phase diagram. We thus emphasize the suitability of the hybrid model as
formulated here in providing a realistic EOS for the strongly interacting
matter.Comment: 22 pages, 10 figures. corrected version published in Physical Review

Integrability and level crossing manifolds in a quantum Hamiltonian system
We consider a two-spin model, represented classically by a nonlinear
autonomous Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom and a nontrivial
integrability condition, and quantum mechanically by a real symmetric
Hamiltonian matrix with blocks of dimensionalities K=l(l+1)/2, l=1,2,... In the
six-dimensional (6D) parameter space of this model, classical integrability is
satisfied on a 5D hypersurface, and level crossings occur on 4D manifolds that
are completely embedded in the integrability hypersurface except for some
lower-D sub-manifolds. Under mild assumptions, the classical integrability
condition can be reconstructed from a purely quantum mechanical study of level
degeneracies in finite-dimensional invariant blocks of the Hamiltonian matrix.
Our conclusions are based on rigorous results for K=3 and on numerical results
for K=6,10.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Evaluation of uroprotective efficacy of amifostine against cyclophosphamide induced hemorrhagic cystitis
The role of amifostine in the prevention of cyclophosphamide-induced hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) was evaluated in the rat model. Urinary bladders from control rats that received no drugs (group I) were compared with those from rats receiving cyclophosphamide alone at a dose of 150 mg/kg (group II), and two other groups receiving amifostine at 100 mg/kg (group III) and 200 mg/kg (group IV), 15 min prior to cyclophosphamide. Bladders were assessed macroscopically and histologically at 24 h and after 7 days. All the animals that received cyclophosphamide alone developed severe HC. On the basis of the scores of macroscopic and histologic changes, animals that received amifostine showed excellent uroprotection. Only 2/6 rats in group III and 1/6 rats in group IV developed mild HC at 24 h. None of the rats in either of these groups showed any evidence of HC at 7 days. It is concluded that amifostine protects the urothelium against cyclophosphamide-induced HC
