Topological Zero-Thickness Cosmic Strings
In this paper, based on the gauge potential decomposition and the
mapping theories, we study the topological structures and properties of
the cosmic strings that arise in the Abelian-Higgs gauge theory in the
zero-thickness limit. After a detailed discussion, we conclude that the
topological tensor current introduced in our model is a better and more basic
starting point than the generally used Nambu-Goto effective action for studying
cosmic strings.Comment: 10 pages, no figure
Generation of entangled squeezed states in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
A method for producing entangled squeezed states (ESSs) for atomic
Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) is proposed by using a BEC with three internal
states and two classical laser beams. We show that it is possible to generate
two-state and multi-state ESSs under certain circumstances.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
Priprava toplinskoizolacijske žbuke s FGD-gipsom
Thermal insulation gypsum plaster was prepared from flue gas desulphurization (FGD) gypsum. K12 is more recommendable as foaming agent, when the mass fraction of K12 is around 0.1 %, the setting time and compressive strength meet the requirements of gypsum-based construction materials. In the meanwhile, the thermal conductivity is 0.18 W m–1 K–1, which can be used as a thermal insulation material. The hemihydrate mixtures obtained, allow the design of a new wall structure, which is more efficient as a thermal insulation system. The wall heat transfer coefficient test was carried out to compare thermal performance of two different thermal insulation systems. Compared with the thermal performance of a conventional system, the heat transfer coefficient of the new system was reduced by 5.6 %. Finally, energy-saving analysis of a building was carried out to compare the energy-saving effect of the conventional and new systems of building. The energy-savings of the building with the new system increased by almost 2 %, thus resulting in low energy consumption of the building.Toplinskoizolacijska gipsana žbuka izrađena je od gipsa nastalog odsumporavanjem dimnog plina (FGD). Uz maseni udjel sredstva za pjenjenje (K12) 0,1 % toplinska provodnost iznosi 0,18 W m–1 K–1 pa se materijal može upotrijebiti za toplinsku izolaciju. Žbuka i sredstvo za pjenjenje uključeni su u novi tip zidne toplinske izolacije. Koeficijent prijenosa topline novog izolacijskog sustava određen je eksperimentalno i iznosi 0,608 W m–2 K–1. Na temelju analize zaključeno je da se s novim sustavom ušteda energije u zgradi može popeti do 66,99 %. Novi materijal može imati velik utjecaj na energijsku učinkovitost zgrade
