Neutron Density Distributions of Neutron-Rich Nuclei Studied with the Isobaric Yield Ratio Difference
The isobaric yield ratio difference (IBD) between two reactions of similar
experimental setups is found to be sensitive to nuclear density differences
between projectiles. In this article, the IBD probe is used to study the
density variation in neutron-rich Ca. By adjusting diffuseness in the
neutron density distribution, three different neutron density distributions of
Ca are obtained. The yields of fragments in the 80 MeV Ca
+ C reactions are calculated by using a modified statistical
abrasion-ablation model. It is found that the IBD results obtained from the
prefragments are sensitive to the density distribution of the projectile, while
the IBD results from the final fragments are less sensitive to the density
distribution of the projectile.Comment: 3 figure
Full counting statistics of renormalized dynamics in open quantum transport system
The internal dynamics of a double quantum dot system is renormalized due to
coupling respectively with transport electrodes and a dissipative heat bath.
Their essential differences are identified unambiguously in the context of full
counting statistics. The electrode coupling caused level detuning
renormalization gives rise to a fast-to-slow transport mechanism, which is not
resolved at all in the average current, but revealed uniquely by pronounced
super-Poissonian shot noise and skewness. The heat bath coupling introduces an
interdot coupling renormalization, which results in asymmetric Fano factor and
an intriguing change of line shape in the skewness.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
DETERMINANTS AFFECTING THE CAPITAL STRUCTURE DECISION OF A FIRM (A CASE STUDY OF TEXTILE SECTOR IN PAKISTAN)
In this paper, we have examined the influence of specific factors based on a capital structure sample of five Pakistani textile sector (Leveraged) companies. The secondary data came from an analysis of the balance sheets of five companies listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange between 2004 and 2014.Regression and correlation analysis on the panel data shows that profitability is negatively correlated with leverage ratio, while tangibility is positively correlated with leverage ratio, but not significantly. Firm size and firm growth are also positively and significantly correlated with leverage. Return on equity is also negatively correlated with leverage. Our findings also show that large textile firms, compared with small ones, finance long-term through debt.
