The NN phase shifts in the extended quark-delocalization, color-screening model

An alternative method is applied to the study of nucleon-nucleon(NN) scattering phase shifts in the framework of extended quark delocalization, color-screening model(QDCSM), where the one-pion-exchange(OPE) with short-range cutoff is included.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, two-colum

Quantum integrable system with two color components in two dimensions

The Davey-Stewartson 1(DS1) system[9] is an integrable model in two dimensions. A quantum DS1 system with 2 colour-components in two dimensions has been formulated. This two-dimensional problem has been reduced to two one-dimensional many-body problems with 2 colour-components. The solutions of the two-dimensional problem under consideration has been constructed from the resulting problems in one dimensions. For latters with the $\delta$-function interactions and being solved by the Bethe ansatz, we introduce symmetrical and antisymmetrical Young operators of the permutation group and obtain the exact solutions for the quantum DS1 system. The application of the solusions is discussed.Comment: 14 pages, LaTeX fil

A Trouble with Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz Gravity

We study the structure of the phase space in Ho\v{r}ava-Lifshitz theory. With the constraints derived from the action, the phase space is described by five fields, thus there is a lack of canonical structure. The Poisson brackets of the Hamiltonian density do not form a closed structure, resulting in many new constraints. Taking these new constraints into account, it appears that there is no degree of freedom left, or the phase space is reduced to one with an odd number of fields.Comment: 12 pages, some discussions, comments and references added, JHEP styl

Critical Nature of Non-Fermi Liquid in Spin 3/2 Multipolar Kondo Model

A multipolar Kondo model of an impurity spin S_I=3/2 interacting with conduction electrons with spin s_c=3/2 is investigated using boundary conformal field theory. A two-channel Kondo (2CK) -like non-Fermi liquid (NFL) under the particle-hole symmetry is derived explicitly using a ``superspin absorption'' in the sector of a hidden symmetry, SO(5). We discuss the difference between the usual spin-1/2 2CK NFL fixed point and the present one. In particular, we find that, unlike the usual 2CK model, the low temperature impurity specific heat is proportional to temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure

Quantitative Analysis of Bloggers Collective Behavior Powered by Emotions

Large-scale data resulting from users online interactions provide the ultimate source of information to study emergent social phenomena on the Web. From individual actions of users to observable collective behaviors, different mechanisms involving emotions expressed in the posted text play a role. Here we combine approaches of statistical physics with machine-learning methods of text analysis to study emergence of the emotional behavior among Web users. Mapping the high-resolution data from digg.com onto bipartite network of users and their comments onto posted stories, we identify user communities centered around certain popular posts and determine emotional contents of the related comments by the emotion-classifier developed for this type of texts. Applied over different time periods, this framework reveals strong correlations between the excess of negative emotions and the evolution of communities. We observe avalanches of emotional comments exhibiting significant self-organized critical behavior and temporal correlations. To explore robustness of these critical states, we design a network automaton model on realistic network connections and several control parameters, which can be inferred from the dataset. Dissemination of emotions by a small fraction of very active users appears to critically tune the collective states

A mathematical model of critical jet heights causing droplets splashing in BOF steelmaking

It is important to understand the physical interaction between top-blown oxygen jet and liquid bath in basic oxygen steelmaking furnaces (BOF). In this study, cold model experiments were carried out to investigate the cavity depth, diameter and the instability at the gas-liquid interface. Images of the cavities were captured by a high-speed video camera to study cavity performances. A modified judging equation of the gas-liquid interface instability was developed by the critical jet flow and the critical jet height at a determined jet diameter. The critical parameters were in good agreement with experimental measurements
