Advantages of the multinucleon transfer reactions based on 238U target for producing neutron-rich isotopes around N = 126
The mechanism of multinucleon transfer (MNT) reactions for producing
neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is investigated within two different
theoretical frameworks: dinuclear system (DNS) model and isospin-dependent
quantum molecular dynamics (IQMD) model. The effects of mass asymmetry
relaxation, N=Z equilibration, and shell closures on production cross sections
of neutron-rich heavy nuclei are investigated. For the first time, the
advantages for producing neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 is found in
MNT reactions based on 238U target. We propose the reactions with 238U target
for producing unknown neutron-rich heavy nuclei around N = 126 in the future.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
Optimal relaying in heterogeneous delay tolerant networks
In Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs), there exists only intermittent connectivity between communication sources and destinations. In order to provide successful communication services for these challenged networks, a variety of relaying and routing algorithms have been proposed with the assumption that nodes are homogeneous in terms of contact rates and delivery costs. However, various applications of DTN have shown that mobile nodes should be divided into different classes in terms of their energy requirements and communication ability, and real application data have revealed the heterogeneous contact rates between node pairs. In this paper, we design an optimal relaying scheme for DTNs, which takes into account nodes’ heterogeneous contact rates and delivery costs when selecting relays to minimise the delivery cost while satisfying the required message delivery probability. Extensive results based on real traces demonstrate that our relaying scheme requires the least delivery cost and achieves the largest maximum delivery probability, compared with the schemes that neglect nodes’ heterogeneity
