    The sentiment-analysis algorithm of social networks text resources based on ontology

    Get PDF
    In this paper the features of semantic and sentiment analysis of textual data of social networks are presented, and an original model and algorithm for sentiment analysis of textual fragments of social networks using fuzzy linguistic ontology are proposed. This approach involves the use of various subgraphs of fuzzy ontology when considering texts of various subject areas with regard to contexts. In addition, the algorithm involves the assessment of the sentiment scores of individual syntagmatic structures into which the analyzed text fragments are divided. It also presents the results of experiments comparing the efficiency of the developed algorithm with a group of existing approaches in analyzing text fragments on the example of data from the social network VKontakte

    Interplay between single-particle and two-particle tunneling in normal metal-d-wave superconductor junctions probed by shot noise

    Full text link
    We discuss how life-time broadening of quasiparticle states influences single- and two-particle current transport through zero-energy states at normal metal/d-wave superconductor junctions. We distinguish between intrinsic broadening (imaginary part η\eta of the energy), which couples the bound states with the superconducting reservoir, and broadening due to leakage through the junction barrier, which couples the bound states with the normal metal reservoir. We show that shot noise is highly sensitive to the mechanism of broadening, while the conductance is not. In the limit of small but finite intrinsic broadening, compared to the junction transparency DD, η/Δ0D\eta/\Delta_0\ll D, the low-voltage shot noise at zero frequency and zero temperature becomes proportional to the magnitude η\eta of intrinsic broadening (Δ0\Delta_0 is the maximum d-wave gap).Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures; presented at the SDP2001 conference in Toky

    Hard pomeron enhancement of ultrahigh-energy neutrino-nucleon cross-sections

    Full text link
    An unknown small-x behavior of nucleon structure functions gives appreciable uncertainties to high-energy neutrino-nucleon cross-sections. We construct structure functions using at small x Regge inspired description by A. Donnachie and P. V. Landshoff with soft and hard pomerons, and employing at larger x the perturbative QCD expressions. The smooth interpolation between two regimes for each Q^2 is provided with the help of simple polynomial functions. To obtain low-x neutrino-nucleon structure functions F2νN,νˉN(x,Q2)F_2^{\nu N, \bar \nu N}(x,Q^2) and singlet part of F3νN,νˉN(x,Q2)F_{3}^{\nu N,\bar \nu N}(x,Q^2) from Donnachie-Landshoff function F2ep(x,Q2)F_2^{ep}(x,Q^2), we use the Q^2-dependent ratios R_2(Q^2) and R_3(Q^2) derived from perturbative QCD calculations. Non-singlet part of F_3 at low x, which is very small, is taken as power-law extrapolation of perturbative function at larger x. This procedure gives a full set of smooth neutrino-nucleon structure functions in the whole range of x and Q^2 at interest. Using these structure functions, we have calculated the neutrino-nucleon cross-sections and compared them with some other cross-sections known in literature. Our cross-sections turn out to be the highest among them at the highest energies, which is explained by contribution of the hard pomeron.Comment: Final revised version, accepted by Phys. Rev.

    Supercurrents through gated superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor contacts: the Josephson-transistor

    Full text link
    We analyze the transport through a narrow ballistic superconductor-normal- metal-superconductor Josephson contact with non-ideal transmission at the superconductor-normal-metal interfaces, e.g., due to insulating layers, effective mass steps, or band misfits (SIN interfaces). The electronic spectrum in the normal wire is determined through the combination of Andreev- and normal reflection at the SIN interfaces. Strong normal scattering at the SIN interfaces introduces electron- and hole-like resonances in the normal region which show up in the quasi-particle spectrum. These resonances have strong implications for the critical supercurrent IcI_c which we find to be determined by the lowest quasi-particle level: tuning the potential μx0\mu_{x0} to the points where electron- and hole-like resonances cross, we find sharp peaks in IcI_{\rm c}, resulting in a transitor effect. We compare the performance of this Resonant Josephson-Transistor (RJT) with that of a Superconducting Single Electron Transistor (SSET).Comment: to appear in PRB, 11 pages, 9 figure

    Nonequilibrium Josephson effect in mesoscopic ballistic multiterminal SNS junctions

    Full text link
    We present a detailed study of nonequilibrium Josephson currents and conductance in ballistic multiterminal SNS-devices. Nonequilibrium is created by means of quasiparticle injection from a normal reservoir connected to the normal part of the junction. By applying a voltage at the normal reservoir the Josephson current can be suppressed or the direction of the current can be reversed. For a junction longer than the thermal length, LξTL\gg\xi_T, the nonequilibrium current increases linearly with applied voltage, saturating at a value equal to the equilibrium current of a short junction. The conductance exhibits a finite bias anomaly around eVvF/LeV \sim \hbar v_F/L. For symmetric injection, the conductance oscillates 2π2\pi-periodically with the phase difference ϕ\phi between the superconductors, with position of the minimum (ϕ=0\phi=0 or π\pi) dependent on applied voltage and temperature. For asymmetric injection, both the nonequilibrium Josephson current and the conductance becomes π\pi-periodic in phase difference. Inclusion of barriers at the NS-interfaces gives rise to a resonant behavior of the total Josephson current with respect to junction length with a period λF\sim \lambda_F. Both three and four terminal junctions are studied.Comment: 21 pages, 19 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

    Surface state atoms and their contribution to the surface tension of quantum liquids

    Full text link
    We investigate the new type of excitations on the surface of liquid helium. These excitations, called surfons, appear because helium atoms have discrete energy level at the liquid surface, being attracted to the surface by the van der Waals force and repulsed at a hard-core interatomic distance. The concentration of the surfons increases with temperature. The surfons propagate along the surface and form a two-dimensional gas. Basing on the simple model of the surfon microscopic structure, we estimate the surfon activation energy and effective mass for both helium isotopes. We also calculate the contribution of the surfons to the temperature dependence of the surface tension. This contribution explains the great and long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment on this temperature dependence in both helium isotopes. The achieved agreement between our theory and experiment is extremely high. The comparison with experiment allows to extract the surfon activation energy and effective mass. The values of these surfon microscopic parameters are in a reasonable agreement with the calculated from the proposed simple model of surfon structure.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure

    Relativistic superfluid models for rotating neutron stars

    Get PDF
    This article starts by providing an introductory overview of the theoretical mechanics of rotating neutron stars as developped to account for the frequency variations, and particularly the discontinuous glitches, observed in pulsars. The theory suggests, and the observations seem to confirm, that an essential role is played by the interaction between the solid crust and inner layers whose superfluid nature allows them to rotate independently. However many significant details remain to be clarified, even in much studied cases such as the Crab and Vela. The second part of this article is more technical, concentrating on just one of the many physical aspects that needs further development, namely the provision of a satisfactorily relativistic (local but not microscopic) treatment of the effects of the neutron superfluidity that is involved.Comment: 42 pages LateX.
