Renormalization of the Sigma-Omega model within the framework of U(1) gauge symmetry
It is shown that the Sigma-Omega model which is widely used in the study of
nuclear relativistic many-body problem can exactly be treated as an Abelian
massive gauge field theory. The quantization of this theory can perfectly be
performed by means of the general methods described in the quantum gauge field
theory. Especially, the local U(1) gauge symmetry of the theory leads to a
series of Ward-Takahashi identities satisfied by Green's functions and proper
vertices. These identities form an uniquely correct basis for the
renormalization of the theory. The renormalization is carried out in the
mass-dependent momentum space subtraction scheme and by the renormalization
group approach. With the aid of the renormalization boundary conditions, the
solutions to the renormalization group equations are given in definite
expressions without any ambiguity and renormalized S-matrix elememts are
exactly formulated in forms as given in a series of tree diagrams provided that
the physical parameters are replaced by the running ones. As an illustration of
the renormalization procedure, the one-loop renormalization is concretely
carried out and the results are given in rigorous forms which are suitable in
the whole energy region. The effect of the one-loop renormalization is examined
by the two-nucleon elastic scattering.Comment: 32 pages, 17 figure

Integration, management and communication of heterogeneous design resources with WWW technologies
Recently, advanced information technologies have opened new pos-sibilities for collaborative designs. In this paper, a Web-based collaborative de-sign environment is proposed, where heterogeneous design applications can be integrated with a common interface, managed dynamically for publishing and searching, and communicated with each other for integrated multi-objective de-sign. The CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) is employed as an implementation tool to enable integration and communication of design application programs; and the XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is used as a common data descriptive language for data exchange between heterogeneous applications and for resource description and recording. This paper also intro-duces the implementation of the system and the encapsulating issues of existing legacy applications. At last, an example of gear design based on the system is il-lustrated to identify the methods and procedure developed by this research
Investigating the design of condition monitoring systems to evaluate surface roughness under the variability in tool wear and fixturing conditions
Non-damping oscillations at flaring loops
Context. QPPs are usually detected as spatial displacements of coronal loops
in imaging observations or as periodic shifts of line properties in
spectroscopic observations. They are often applied for remote diagnostics of
magnetic fields and plasma properties on the Sun. Aims. We combine imaging and
spectroscopic measurements of available space missions, and investigate the
properties of non-damping oscillations at flaring loops. Methods. We used the
IRIS to measure the spectrum over a narrow slit. The double-component Gaussian
fitting method was used to extract the line profile of Fe XXI 1354.08 A at "O
I" window. The quasi-periodicity of loop oscillations were identified in the
Fourier and wavelet spectra. Results. A periodicity at about 40 s is detected
in the line properties of Fe XXI, HXR emissions in GOES 1-8 A derivative, and
Fermi 26-50 keV. The Doppler velocity and line width oscillate in phase, while
a phase shift of about Pi/2 is detected between the Doppler velocity and peak
intensity. The amplitudes of Doppler velocity and line width oscillation are
about 2.2 km/s and 1.9 km/s, respectively, while peak intensity oscillate with
amplitude at about 3.6% of the background emission. Meanwhile, a quasi-period
of about 155 s is identified in the Doppler velocity and peak intensity of Fe
XXI, and AIA 131 A intensity. Conclusions. The oscillations at about 40 s are
not damped significantly during the observation, it might be linked to the
global kink modes of flaring loops. The periodicity at about 155 s is most
likely a signature of recurring downflows after chromospheric evaporation along
flaring loops. The magnetic field strengths of the flaring loops are estimated
to be about 120-170 G using the MHD seismology diagnostics, which are
consistent with the magnetic field modeling results using the flux rope
insertion method.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures, 1 table, accepted by A&

The effect of tool fixturing quality on the design of condition monitoring systems for detecting tool conditions
Condition monitoring systems of machining processes are essential technology for improving productivity and automation. Tool wear monitoring of cutting tools is one of the important applications in this area. In this paper, the effect of collet fixturing quality on the design of condition monitoring systems to detect tool wear is discussed. The paper investigates the difference in the system's behaviour and the changes in the condition monitoring system when the cutting tool is not rigidly fastened to the collet. A group of sensors, namely acoustic emission, force, strain, vibration and sound, are used to design the condition monitoring system. Automated Sensor and Signal Processing Selection (ASPS) approach1 is implemented to address the effect of the tool holding device (collet) on the monitoring system and the most sensitive sensors and signal processing method to detect tool wear. The results prove that the change in the fixturing quality could have significant effect on the design of the condition monitoring system and the behaviour of the system
Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation for quark-antiquark bound states and derivation of its interaction kerne
The four-dimensional Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation satisfied by
quark-antiquark bound states is derived from Quantum Chromodynamics. Different
from the Bethe-Salpeter equation, the equation derived is a kind of first-order
differential equations of Schr\"odinger-type in the position space. Especially,
the interaction kernel in the equation is given by two different closed
expressions. One expression which contains only a few types of Green's
functions is derived with the aid of the equations of motion satisfied by some
kinds of Green's functions. Another expression which is represented in terms of
the quark, antiquark and gluon propagators and some kinds of proper vertices is
derived by means of the technique of irreducible decomposition of Green's
functions. The kernel derived not only can easily be calculated by the
perturbation method, but also provides a suitable basis for nonperturbative
investigations. Furthermore, it is shown that the four-dimensinal
Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation and its kernel can directly be reduced to rigorous
three-dimensional forms in the equal-time Lorentz frame and the
Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation can be reduced to an equivalent
Pauli-Schr\"odinger equation which is represented in the Pauli spinor space. To
show the applicability of the closed expressions derived and to demonstrate the
equivalence between the two different expressions of the kernel, the t-channel
and s-channel one gluon exchange kernels are chosen as an example to show how
they are derived from the closed expressions. In addition, the connection of
the Dirac-Schr\"odinger equation with the Bethe-Salpeter equation is discussed
Crossover from the parity-conserving pair contact process with diffusion to other universality classes
The pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) with modulo 2 conservation
(\pcpdt) [, ] is studied in one dimension, focused on the
crossover to other well established universality classes: the directed Ising
(DI) and the directed percolation (DP). First, we show that the \pcpdt shares
the critical behaviors with the PCPD, both with and without directional bias.
Second, the crossover from the \pcpdt to the DI is studied by including a
parity-conserving single-particle process (). We find the crossover
exponent , which is argued to be identical to that of the
PCPD-to-DP crossover by adding . This suggests that the PCPD
universality class has a well defined fixed point distinct from the DP. Third,
we study the crossover from a hybrid-type reaction-diffusion process belonging
to the DP [, ] to the DI by adding . We find
for the DP-to-DI crossover. The inequality of and
further supports the non-DP nature of the PCPD scaling. Finally, we
introduce a symmetry-breaking field in the dual spin language to study the
crossover from the \pcpdt to the DP. We find , which is
associated with a new independent route from the PCPD to the DP.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
Simple algebras of Weyl type
Over a field of any characteristic, for a commutative associative algebra
with an identity element and for the polynomial algebra of a
commutative derivation subalgebra of , the associative and the Lie
algebras of Weyl type on the same vector space are
defined. It is proved that , as a Lie algebra (modular its center) or as
an associative algebra, is simple if and only if is -simple and
acts faithfully on . Thus a lot of simple algebras are obtained.Comment: 9 pages, Late
An innovative approach for energy generation from waves
Sustainable energy generation is becoming increasingly important due to the expected limitations in current energy resources and to reduce pollution. Wave energy generation has seen significant development in recent years. This paper describes an innovative system for generating energy from wave power. A complete description of the system is presented including the general concept, configurations, mechanical design, electrical system, simulation techniques and expected power output of the system. The results from the hydraulic linear wave simulator, using a real wave profiles captured at a location in the UK using an ultrasound system, it was seen that a ±0.8 m wave at 10 s time period, produced a conditioned power output of approximately 22 kW at optimum load conditions for the tested 3-phase 44 kW permanent magnet generator type STK500. The results indicate that this new technology could provide an efficient and low cost method of generating electricity from waves
Pion Leptonic Decays and Supersymmetry
We compute supersymmetric contributions to pion leptonic (\pi_{l2}) decays in
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). When R-parity is conserved,
the largest contributions to the ratio R_{e/\mu} = \Gamma[ \pi^+ \to e^+
\nu_e(\gamma)]/\Gamma[ \pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu_\mu(\gamma)] arise from one-loop
(V-A)x(V-A) corrections. These contributions can be potentially as large as the
sensitivities of upcoming experiments; if measured, they would imply
significant bounds on the chargino and slepton sectors complementary to current
collider limits. We also analyze R-parity violating interactions, which may
produce a detectable deviation in R_{e/\mu} while remaining consistent with all
other precision observables.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures; included additional electroweak constraints in
