A Note on Non-Locality and Ostrogradski’s Construction
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider the Hamiltonian treatment of non-local theories and Ostrogradski’s formalism. This has recently also been discussed by Woodard (hep-th/0006207) and by Gomis, Kamimura and Llosa (hep-th/0006235). In our approach we recast the second class constraints into first class constraints and invoke the boundary Poisson bracket. PACS number(s): 02.70.Pt, 03.50.-z, 04.20.Fy, 11.10.Ef, 11.10.Lm, 45.20.Jj.

Hydraulic Model Studies of Non-Symmetric Y Branches In Karun I (RESEARCH NOTE)
Power stations with high heads are nowadays almost without exception designed so as to have one pipeline, or a few pipelines, supplying the water to the turbines. The penstocks are connected to a distributor, which has the task of distributing the flow with the lowest possible losses of energy to the individual turbines. The function and location of this section of the plant make it understanda...
متن کاملQuery by Humming Using Locality Sensitive Hashing for Mirex 2008
We submit a method for the MIREX 2008 task “Query by Singing/Humming” based on locality sensitive hashing (LSH). The method constructs an index of melodic fragments by extracting pitch vectors from a database of melodies. In retrieval, the method automatically transcribes a sung query into notes and then extracts pitch vectors similarly to the index construction. For each query pitch vector, th...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of a Sensitive Capasitive Sensor System (RESEARCH NOTE)
Design and construction of a capacitor sensor with a precise readout system are described in this paper. A variable air-gap capacitive transducer was constructed and for signalmeasurement a successful attempt was made to exploit the capacitance changes in terms of the phase angle of the detected signal. The reported setup makes it possible to detect capacitance changes of the order of 2.5 fF in...
متن کاملSedimentation Stability of Oil Well Cements in Directional Wells (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Unsuccessful cementing operation can jeopardize the whole well construction process, resulting in further costly and time consuming repair operations. The quality of cementing job is dependent on the cement composition and its properties. Design of cement composition is based on the available geological condition, materials and technical situation at well location. The cement properties like fl...
متن کاملHow Spatial Locality Can Affect the Evolution of Niche Construction
Niche construction is a process whereby organisms that modify their own or the others’ niches through their ecological activities. It is getting much attention in evolutionary studies but still poorly understood. Our purpose is to clarify the effects of spatial locality of niche construction on the evolution of the niche-constructing trait. Especially, we focus on the evolution of negative nich...
