Using Pi-calculus to Model Dynamic Web Services Composition Based on the Authority Model
There are lots of research works on web service, composition, modeling,
verification and other problems. Theses research works are done on the basis of
formal methods, such as petri-net, pi-calculus, automata theory, and so on.
Pi-calculus is a natural vehicle to model mobility aspect in dynamic web
services composition (DWSC). However, it has recently been shown that
pi-calculus needs to be extended suitably to specify and verify DWSC. In this
paper, we considers the authority model for DWSC, extends pi-calculus in order
to model dynamic attributes of system, and proposes a automatic method for
modeling DWSC based on extended pi-calculus.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
A Condition for Hopf bifurcation to occur in Equations of Lotka - Volterra Type with Delay
It is known that Lotka - Volterra type differential equations with delays or
distributed delays have an important role in modeling ecological systems. In
this paper we study the effects of distributed delay on the dynamics of the
harvested one predator - two prey model. Using the expectation of the
distribution of the delay as a bifurcation parameter, we show that the
equilibrium that was asymptotic stable becomes unstable and Hopf bifurcation
can occur as the expectation crosses some critical values.Comment: 9 pages, in ver 2 added references and conclusion and further study,

Equiaffine Structure and Conjugate Ricci-symmetry of a Statistical Manifold
A condition for a statistical manifold to have an equiaffine structure is
studied. The facts that dual flatness and conjugate symmetry of a statistical
manifold are sufficient conditions for a statistical manifold to have an
equiaffine structure were obtained in [2] and [3]. In this paper, a fact that a
statistical manifold, which is conjugate Ricci-symmetric, has an equiaffine
structure is given, where conjugate Ricci-symmetry is weaker condition than
conjugate symmetry. A condition for conjugate symmetry and conjugate
Ricci-symmetry to coincide is also given.Comment: 7 page
Suppression of DC term in Fresnel digital holography by sequence subtraction of holograms
An experimental method for suppression of DC term in the reconstructed images
from Fresnel digital holograms is presented. In this method, two holograms for
the same object are captured sequentially and subtracted. Since these two
holograms are captured at different moments, they are slightly different from
each other for fluctuations of noises. The DC term is suppressed in the image
reconstructed from the subtraction hologram, while the two virtual and real
images are successfully reconstructed. This method can be potentially used for
the improvement of image quality reconstructed from Fresnel digital holograms
Computer simulation control of single crystal growth process by melt pulling method
In this paper, on the basis of the set of simplified model state equations to
represent the dynamic features of melt pulling method growth process, we
constructed a simulation control system of Matlab Simulink and analyzed control
features of state variables for the total growth process including shoulder
growth process and the constant diameter growth process of single crystals such
as Si and LiNbO3.Comment: 22 figures, 7 page
Mixed eldfellite compounds \ce{Na(Fe_{1/2}M_{1/2})(SO4)2} (M = Mn, Co, Ni): A new family of high electrode potential cathodes for the sodium-ion battery
Natural abundance of sodium and its similar behavior to lithium triggered
recent extensive studies of cost-effective sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) for
large-scale energy storage systems. A challenge is to develop electrode
materials with a high electrode potential, specific capacity and a good rate
capability. In this work we propose mixed eldfellite compounds
\ce{Na_x(Fe_{1/2}M_{1/2})(SO4)2} (M = Mn, Co, Ni) as a new family of high
electrode potential cathodes of SIBs and present their material properties
predicted by first-principles calculations. The structural optimizations show
that these materials have significantly small volume expansion rates below 5\%
upon Na insertion/desertion with negative Na binding energies. Through the
electronic structure calculations, we find band insulating properties and hole
(and/or electron) polaron hoping as a possible mechanism for the charge
transfer. Especially we confirm the high electrode voltages over 4 V with
reasonably high specific capacities. We also investigate the sodium ion
mobility by estimating plausible diffusion pathways and calculating the
corresponding activation barriers, demonstrating the reasonably fast migrations
of sodium ions during the operation. Our calculation results indicate that
these mixed eldfellite compounds can be suitable materials for high performance

One approach for determining susceptibilities and order parameters in multi-band Hubbard model
We present an approach for determining susceptibilities and order parameters
in multi-band Hubbard model within functional renormalization group method, and
apply it to study various instabilities of the FeAs-based high temperature
superconductor. First, we derive the formulae of susceptibilities and order
parameters of superconducting parings, spin density waves and charge density
waves with diverse wave vectors which could occur in multi-band Hubbard model.
Second, we apply it to the FeAs-based high temperature superconductor and find
an electronic-driven superconducting pairing instability within a five band
model with pure repulsive interactions. Our study shows that for doping of our
concern, there is competition between antiferromagnetic and superconducting
instabilities. In addition, we show that for doping of 0.1, the susceptibility
of extended s-wave pairing is dominant over others, while a staggered
superconducting pairing with has the second largest value of susceptibility
k-Congruences on semirings
For any semiring, the concept of k-congruences is introduced, criteria for
k-congruences are established, it is proved that there is an
inclusion-preserving bijection between k-congruences and k-ideals, and an
equivalent condition for the existence of a zero is presented with the help of
k-congruences. It is shown that a semiring is k-simple iff it is
k-congruence-simple, and that inclines are k-simple iff they have at most 2
elements. Lemma 2.12(i) in [Glas. Mat. 42(62) (2007) 301] is pointed out being
false
Electronic Transport through QD in the whole temperature range including both the high- and the low-T limits with the equation-of-motion technique
We have studied theoretically the Kondo effect in the quantum dot(QD) within
the whole range of temperature by using the equation-of-motion(EOM) technique
based on the non-equilibrium Green function formalism. We have taken the
finiteness of Coulomb correlation and the non-equilibrium effect into account
by calculating the correlation terms emerged from the decoupling approximation
using EOM method for the lesser Green function. We showed that the result is in
good qualitative agreement with the results of NCA, NRG and NRPT, etc., even
using EOM method which is being recognized as a 'conventional' method.
The results are the generalization into the pseudo-equilibrium state of the
Refs. 32,33 and can be used to describe a non-equilibrium state under the bias
voltage which is not so large
Looking for Z' bosons in Supersymmetric E_6 Models through Electroweak Precision Data
We review constraints on additional Z' bosons predicted in supersymmetric
(SUSY) E_6 models from electroweak experiments - Z-pole experiments, mW
measurements and the low-energy neutral current (LENC) experiments. Four
representative models - \chi,\psi, \eta, \nu models - are studied in some
detail. We find that the improved data of parity violation in cesium atom,
which is 2.2-\sigma away from the Standard Model (SM) prediction, could be
explained by the exchange of the heavy mass eigenstate Z_2 in the intermediate
state. The improvement over the SM can be found in \chi, \eta, \nu models,
where the total \chi^2 of the fit to the 26 data points decreases by about five
units, owing to the better fit to the atomic parity violation. Impacts of the
kinetic mixing between the U(1)_Y and U(1)' gauge bosons on the \chi^2-analysis
are studied. We find that the Z' model with (\beta_E, \delta)=(-\pi/4,0.2),
where \beta_E is the mixing angle between Z_\chi and Z_\psi bosons and \delta
denotes the kinetic mixing, shows the most excellent fit to the data: the total
\chi^2 decreases by about seven units as compared to the SM. We introduce the
effective mixing parameter \zeta, a combination of the mass and the kinetic
mixing parameters. The 95% CL lower mass bound of Z_2 can be shown as a
function of \zeta. A theoretical prediction on \zeta and the U(1)'gauge
coupling g_E is studied for the \chi,\psi,\eta and \nu models by assuming the
minimal particle content of the SUSY E_6 models.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures. submitted to the Brief Review section of
