Heat Transfer from a Rotating Sphere
Creators: name: Eastop, Thomas Deas
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1971

description: This thesis is mainly concerned with the heat transfer from a rotating sphere to an air stream flowing at right angles to the plane of rotation of the sphere. A theoretical analysis of the laminar boundary layer on the forward portion of the sphere was made using an integral momentum method, and introducing a velocity distribution round a sphere meridian based on known experimental results for a stationary sphere in an air stream. The experimental method used was a transient cooling technique. Tests were carried out to measure the surface temperature distribution and to validate the method of calculation of the heat transfer coefficient. A conduction correction for the heat transferred through the supporting shaft was carefully calculated and results taken for natural convection and for flow across a stationary sphere were compared with previous experimental work as a check on this correction. A subsidiary investigation was undertaken to determine the turbulence level produced downstream of a square mesh wire grid, and how this is affected by the free stream turbulence upstream of the grid. The effect of free stream turbulence on the heat transfer from a stationary sphere to an air stream was investigated and the results compared with those of other investigators. Experiments were performed with the sphere rotating in still air, and with various air flow velocities at right angles to the plane of rotation. The experimental results for the heat transfer from a rotating sphere in an air stream were compared with the theoretical results for the forward portion of the sphere, an attempt being made to assess the proportions of heat transferred from the front and rear halves of the sphere. The following deductions can be made: a) free stream turbulence increases the heat transfer from a sphere, even at flow Reynolds numbers below that which would lead to transition to turbulence in the boundary layer. b) for a sphere rotating in still air, Nu = 0.353 Re0.5R for Gr/Re2R < 0.02 (properties at mean film temperature.) c) for a rotating sphere in an air stream the rotation does not influence the total heat transfer from the sphere until the circumferential velocity of the sphere equator is greater than half the free stream velocity of the impinging air; the results may be correlated by, Nu = 0.228 RE0.598 + 0.0381 Re0.598 (ReR/Re - 0.54) for ReR/Re >> 0.54, T = 0.0085, 4600< Re<21 000, 2700

description: This study described the influence of students-student relationship and academic achievement of secondary school students in Cross River State. One research question and one null hypothesis guided the study. Literature was reviewed according to the variable under study. The ex-post facto design was adopted for the study. The population consisted of 15,080 SS2 students, in all the 272 public secondary schools in Cross River State. A sample of 1, 029 students was used for the study. An instrument named “Student-student relationship questionnaire was` used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha reliability method .77. The study equally involved data from school administrative records which were students’ academic achievement records for 2018 promotion examinations in English language, Mathematics and Biology obtained from school authorities. Data collected from 1,029 of the subjects were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings from the results revealed that students-student relationship had positive significant influence on students’ academic achievement. It is therefore concluded that school routine activities influence academic achievement of senior secondary school students in Cross River State. Based on the above finding, it was recommended among others that peer group has both positive and negative influence on adolescent students’ academic achievement. Hence, parents should urge their wards to relate with responsible friends who know the importance of education

description: This dataset, cleaned and systematically reviewed, provides substantial evidence for the widespread usage of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) in the context of emerging technologies. Out of 76 evaluated studies, 64 underwent amendments. These revised data were subsequently utilized to extract key constructs and formulate the Smart Technology Acceptance Model (STAM). To validate this new model, anonymised survey data from 205 valid responses are included, focusing on the developing region of South Africa. The application of structural equation modeling helped in the validation of the conceptual model in this specific context.

CCharge-multiplicity dependence of single-particle transverse-rapidity $\bf y_t$ and pseudorapidity $\bf η$ densities and 2D angular correlations from 200 GeV $p$-$p$ collisions

description: An established phenomenology and theoretical interpretation of $p$-$p$ collision data at lower collision energies should provide a reference for $p$-$p$ and other collision systems at higher energies, against which claims of novel physics may be tested. The description of $p$-$p$ collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) has remained incomplete even as claims for collectivity and other novelties in data from smaller systems at the large hadron collider (LHC) have emerged recently. In this study we report the charge-multiplicity dependence of two-dimensional (2D) angular correlations and of single-particle (SP) densities on transverse rapidity $y_t$ and pseudorapidity $η$ from 200 GeV $p$-$p$ collisions. We define a comprehensive and self-consistent two-component (soft + hard) model (TCM) for hadron production and report a significant $p$-$p$ nonjet (NJ) quadrupole component as a third (angular-correlation) component. Our results have implications for $p$-$p$ centrality, the underlying event (UE), collectivity in small systems and the existence of flows in high-energy nuclear collisions.

description: The adhesive and frictional response of an AFM tip connected to a substrate through supramolecular host-guest complexes is investigated by dynamic Monte Carlo simulations. The variation of the pull-off force with the unloading rate recently observed in experiments is here unraveled by evidencing a simultaneous (progressive) break of the bonds at fast (slow) rates. The model reveals the origin of the observed plateaus in the retraction force as a function of tip-surface distance, showing that they ensue from the tip geometrical features. In lateral sliding, the model exhibits a wide range of dynamic behaviors ranging from smooth sliding to stick-slip at different velocities, with the average friction force determined by the characteristic formation/rupture rates of the complexes. In particular, it is shown that for some molecular complexes friction can become almost constant over a wide range of velocities. Also, we show the possibility to exploit ageing effect through slide-hold-slide experiments, in order to infer the characteristic formation rate. Finally, our model predicts a novel "anti-ageing" effect which is characterized by a decrease of static friction force with the hold time. Such effect is explained in terms of enhancement of adhesion during sliding, especially observed at high driving velocities.
Optimal stochastic restart renders fluctuations in first passage times universal

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Stochastic restart may drastically reduce the expected run time of a computer algorithm, expedite the completion of a complex search process, or increase the turnover rate of an enzymatic reaction. These diverse first-passage-time (FPT) processes seem to have very little in common but it is actually quite the other way around. Here we show that the relative standard deviation associated with the FPT of an optimally restarted process, i.e., one that is restarted at a (non-zero) rate which brings the mean FPT to a minimum, is always unity. We interpret, further generalize, and discuss this finding and the implications arising from it.

description: The developpment of the Internet of Things (IoT) concept revives Responsive Environments (RE) technologies. Nowadays, the idea of a permanent connection between physical and digital world is technologically possible. The capillar Internet relates to the Internet extension into daily appliances such as they become actors of Internet like any hu-man. The parallel development of Machine-to-Machine communications and Arti cial Intelligence (AI) technics start a new area of cybernetic. This paper presents an approach for Cybernetic Organism (Cyborg) for RE based on Organic Computing (OC). In such approach, each appli-ance is a part of an autonomic system in order to control a physical environment. The underlying idea is that such systems must have self-x properties in order to adapt their behavior to external disturbances with a high-degree of autonomy.

An Integrated Model for the Production of X-Ray Time Lags and Quiescent Spectra from Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Black Hole Accretion Coronae
Creators: name: Kroon, John J.
name: Becker, Peter A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Many accreting black holes manifest time lags during outbursts, in which the hard Fourier component typically lags behind the soft component. Despite decades of observations of this phenomenon, the underlying physical explanation for the time lags has remained elusive, although there are suggestions that Compton reverberation plays an important role. However, the lack of analytical solutions has hindered the interpretation of the available data. In this paper, we investigate the generation of X-ray time lags in Compton scattering coronae using a new mathematical approach based on analysis of the Fourier-transformed transport equation. By solving this equation, we obtain the Fourier transform of the radiation Green's function, which allows us to calculate the exact dependence of the time lags on the Fourier frequency, for both homogeneous and inhomogeneous coronal clouds. We use the new formalism to explore a variety of injection scenarios, including both monochromatic and broadband (bremsstrahlung) seed photon injection. We show that our model can successfully reproduce both the observed time lags and the time-averaged (quiescent) X-ray spectra for Cyg~X-1 and GX~339-04, using a single set of coronal parameters for each source. The time lags are the result of impulsive bremsstrahlung injection occurring near the outer edge of the corona, while the time-averaged spectra are the result of continual distributed injection of soft photons throughout the cloud.

description: A three-dimensional numerical model for an accretion process investigation in the magnetosphere of a white dwarf in magnetic cataclysmic variables is developed. The model assumes that the white dwarf has a dipole magnetic field with its symmetry axis inclined to the rotation axis. The model is based on the equations of modified MHD, that describe the mean flow parameters in the wave MHD turbulence. Diffusion of the magnetic field and radiative heating and cooling are taken into account. The suitability of the model is confirmed by modeling the accretion in a typical intermediate polar. The computations show that a magnetosphere forms around the accretor, with the accretion occurring via columns. The accretion columns have a curtain-like shape, and arc-shaped zones of energy release form on the surface of the white dwarf in the magnetic poles area as a result of the matter infall.

Chaos control of Hastings-Powell model by combining chaotic motions

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we propose a Parameter Switching (PS) algorithm as a new chaos control method for the Hastings-Powell (HP) system. The PS algorithm is a convergent scheme that switches the control parameter within a set of values while the controlled system is numerically integrated. The attractor obtained with the PS algorithm matches the attractor obtained by integrating the system with the parameter replaced by the averaged value of the switched parameter values. The switching rule can be applied periodically or randomly over a set of given values. In this way, every stable cycle of the HP system can be approximated if its underlying parameter value equalizes the average value of the switching values. Moreover, the PS algorithm can be viewed as a generalization of Parrondo's game, which is applied for the first time to the HP system, by showing that losing strategy can win: "losing + losing = winning". If "loosing" is replaced with "chaos" and, "winning" with "order" (as the opposite to "chaos"), then by switching the parameter value in the HP system within two values, which generate chaotic motions, the PS algorithm can approximate a stable cycle so that symbolically one can write "chaos + chaos = regular". Also, by considering a different parameter control, new complex dynamics of the HP model are revealed.

Analytic approximation of energy resolution in cascaded gaseous detectors

description: An approximate formula has been derived for gain fluctuations in cascaded gaseous detectors such as GEM-s, based on the assumption that the charge collection, avalanche formation and extraction steps are independent cascaded processes. In order to test the approximation experimentally, a setup involving a standard GEM layer has been constructed to measure the energy resolution for 5.9 keV gamma particles. The formula reasonably traces both the charge collection as well as the extraction process dependence of the energy resolution. Such analytic approximation for gain fluctuations can be applied to multi-GEM detectors where it aids the interpretation of measurements as well as simulations.

description: The widespread adoption of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in real-world applications, particularly on resource-constrained devices, is hindered by their computational complexity and memory requirements. This research investigates the application of pruning and quantization techniques to optimize CNNs for arrhythmia classification using the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database. By combining magnitude-based pruning, regularization-based pruning, filter map-based pruning, and quantization at different bit-widths (4-bit, 8-bit, 2-bit, and 1-bit), the study aims to develop a more compact and efficient CNN model while maintaining high accuracy. The experimental results demonstrate that these techniques effectively reduce model size, improve inference speed, and maintain accuracy, adapting them for use on devices with limited resources. The findings highlight the potential of these optimization techniques for real-time applications in mobile health monitoring and edge computing, paving the way for broader adoption of deep learning in resource-limited environments.

description: The first-principle prediction of nanocluster stable structure is often hampered by the existence of many isomer configurations with energies close to the ground state. This fact attaches additional importance to many-electron effects going beyond density functional theory (DFT), because their contributions may change a subtle energy order of competitive structures. To analyze this problem, we consider, as an example, the energetics of silicon nanoclusters passivated by hydrogen Si$_{10}$H$_{2n}$ with $0\le n\le 11$, the structure of which varies with passivation from compact to loose-packed, similar to branching polymers. Our calculations performed by the DFT, hybrid functionals and Hartree-Fock (H-F) methods, as well as by the GW approximation (GWA), confirm a considerable sensitivity of structure prediction and isomer energy ordering to many-electron effects and show some results which may be obtained with the methods less computationally demanding than the GWA.

Lattice models for granular-like velocity fields: Hydrodynamic limit

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A recently introduced model describing -on a 1d lattice- the velocity field of a granular fluid is discussed in detail. The dynamics of the velocity field occurs through next-neighbours inelastic collisions which conserve momentum but dissipate energy. The dynamics can be described by a stochastic equation in full phase space, or through the corresponding Master Equation for the time evolution of the probability distribution. In the hydrodynamic limit, equations for the average velocity and temperature fields with fluctuating currents are derived, which are analogous to those of granular fluids when restricted to the shear modes. Therefore, the homogeneous cooling state, with its linear instability, and other relevant regimes such as the uniform shear flow and the Couette flow states are described. The evolution in time and space of the single particle probability distribution, in all those regimes, is also discussed, showing that the local equilibrium is not valid in general. The noise for the momentum and energy currents, which are correlated, are white and Gaussian. The same is true for the noise of the energy sink, which is usually negligible.
Quantum Dot-Ring Nanostructure - a Comparison of Different Approaches

description: It has been recently shown that a nanostructure composed of a quantum dot surrounded by a quantum ring possesses a set of very unique characteristics that make it a good candidate for future nanoelectronic devices. Its main advantage is the ability to easily tune transport properties on demand by so called "wave function engineering". In practice, the distribution of the electron wave function in the nanostructure can be controlled by, e.g., electrical gating. In order to predict some particular properties of the system one has to know the exact wave functions for different shapes of the confining potential that defines the structure. In this paper we compare three different methods that can be used to determine the energy spectrum, electron wave functions and transport properties of the system under investigation. In the first approach we utilize the cylindrical symmetry of the confining potential and solve only the radial part of the Schrodinger equation; in the second approach we discretize the Schrodinger equation in two dimensions and find the eigenstates with the help of the Lanczos method; in the third approach we use package Kwant to solve a tight-binding approximation of the original system. To study the transport properties in all these approaches we calculate microscopically the strength of the coupling between the nanosystem and leads. In the first two approaches we use the Bardeen method, in the third one calculations are performed with the help of package Kwant.

description: The proponent started this project during the pandemic, where the face-toface class is prohibited to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19). The proponent thinks of a way how to conduct an online conference call that is secured, easy to use, and low-cost solution because currently, the client is using Zoom freetier that has a limited 40 minutes. When the 40 minutes expired, the students need to connect again in a few minutes but some of the students tend to not enter again to the class thinking that the class is over. The proponent starts using WebRTC as an alternate solution to the Zoom app. Now the clients can now go beyond 40 minutes without interruption in the class

Traditional vs. Machine-LearningMethods for Forecasting Sandy Shoreline Evolution Using Historic Satellite-Derived Shorelines

description: Forecasting shoreline evolution for sandy coasts is important for sustainable coastal management, given the present-day increasing anthropogenic pressures and a changing future climate. Here, we evaluate eight different time-series forecasting methods for predicting future shorelines derived from historic satellite-derived shorelines. Analyzing more than 37,000 transects around the globe, we find that traditional forecast methods altogether with some of the evaluated probabilistic Machine Learning (ML) time-series forecast algorithms, outperform Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) predictions for the majority of the sites. When forecasting seven years ahead, we find that these algorithms generate better predictions than OLS for 54% of the transect sites, producing forecasts with, on average, 29% smaller Mean Squared Error (MSE). Importantly, this advantage is shown to exist over all considered forecast horizons, i.e., from 1 up to 11 years. Although the ML algorithms do not produce significantly better predictions than traditional time-series forecast methods, some proved to be significantly more efficient in terms of computation time. We further provide insight in how these ML algorithms can be improved so that they can be expected to outperform not only OLS regression, but also the traditional time-series forecast methods. These forecasting algorithms can be used by coastal engineers, managers, and scientists to generate future shoreline prediction at a global level and derive conclusions thereof.

description: Here we report the discovery of superconductivity in multiple phases of the compressed GeSb2Te4 (GST) phase change memory alloy, which has attracted considerable attention for the last decade due to its unusual physical properties with many potential applications. Superconductivity is observed through electrical transport measurements, both for the amorphous (a-GST) and for the crystalline (c-GST) phases. The superconducting critical temperature, TC, continuously increases with the applied pressure reaching a maximum Tc =6K at P=20 GPa for a-GST, whereas the critical temperature of the cubic phase reaches a maximum Tc =8 K at 30 GPa. This new material system, exhibiting a superconductor-insulator quantum phase transition (SIT) has an advantage over disordered metals since it has a continuous control of the crystal structure and the electronic properties using pressure as an external stimulus, which was lacking in SIT studies until today.

Alleviating ΛCDM tension in Pantheon in late time quantum cosmology: Hints of unstable dS?
Creators: name: van Putten, Maurice H.P.M.
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: cosmological parameters, late-time cosmology, tension

description: Cosmological evolution appears well described by ΛCDM in Planck analysis of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), parameterized at late time by the Hubble parameter H0 and matter density ωm = ΩM,0. Yet, features beyond ΛCDM are beginning to appear at increasing levels of confidence in H0-tension measured in surveys of the Local Universe. Independent of Planck, we here report on a strong drop in the ωm estimate at a significance of 4.3σ in ΛCDM analysis of Pantheon data over running inner intervals [0,zmax] (0<zmax <2.26). Should de Sitter space be ruled out by an instability, this result is expected, illustrated by ωm-tension reduced to 2.5σ in a model of late time quantum cosmology.

Semantic relation extraction and classification. Experiments on Wikipedia.it
Creators: name: Benotto, Giulia
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Semantic relations between concepts or entities exist in textual documents, keywords or key
 phrases, and tags generated in social tagging systems. Relation extraction refers to the
 identification and assignment of relations between concepts or entities. Basically, it can explore relations that are implicit to underlying data and then add new knowledge to the different domains.
 The purpose of our work was to develop a semi-unsupervised system that was able to automatically extract semantical relations between nominals in a dump extracted from the ialian Wikipedia in November 2008. In addition, we wanted it to correctly classify semantical relations between nominals.
 We used a seed-based, pattern-based, semi-unsupervised approach for Relation extraction, while we implemented a variation of Vector Space Model for relation classification. we used manually selected seeds for both purposes. in addition, we implemented a script for the automatic extraction of seed pair to be used with our algorithm.
