Redshift obeys adiabatic invariance. From this fact it follows that not only the individual photons are dimmed by a factor of z + 1 (if z is the redshift in percent), but the photon flux is reduced by the same factor once more. Hence the luminosity of any source is in the presence of redshift dimmed by a factor of (z+1). This model-independent result possibly "explains away" the excess dimming ...

The adiabatic temperature rise of early-age concrete can be precisely tested by the device. However, the insufficient accuracy of testing device can lead to inaccurate measurements of adiabatic temperature rise of later-age concrete. The purpose of this paper is to create a model to predict the hydration heat of later-age concrete. Based on the previous studies, it is known that the heat releas...

A major challenge facing adiabatic quantum computing is that algorithm design and error correction can be difficult for adiabatic quantum computing. Recent work has considered addressing this challenge by using coherently controlled adiabatic evolutions in the place of classically controlled evolution. An important question remains: what is the relative power of controlled adiabatic evolution t...

This paper introduces a power-gating scheme appropriate for near-threshold operating of single-phase adiabatic circuits. A transmission gate with MOS bootstrapping scheme is used as the power-gating switch, which is used to reduce energy overhead. CAL (Clocked Adiabatic Logic) circuits are investigated. The analytical model for power-gating adiabatic circuits is constructed, and the energy over...

The effects of strain rate and temperature on the dynamic behavior of Fe-based high temperature alloy was studied. The strain rates were 0.001-12,000 s(-1), at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 800 °C. A phenomenological constitutive model (Power-Law constitutive model) was proposed considering adiabatic temperature rise and accurate material thermal physical properties. During whic...

We analyze two approaches to the quantum-classical Liouville (QCL) formalism that differ in the order of two operations: Wigner transformation and projection onto adiabatic electronic states. The analysis is carried out on a two-dimensional linear vibronic model where geometric phase (GP) effects arising from a conical intersection profoundly affect nuclear dynamics. We find that the Wigner-the...

This paper deals with the plane strain 2D Finite Element (FE) modeling of segmented, as well as continuous chip formation while machining AISI 4340 with a negative rake carbide tool. The main objective is to simulate both the continuous and segmented chips from the same FE model based on FE code ABAQUS/Explicit. Both the adiabatic and coupled temperature displacement analysis have been performe...

Quantum query complexity is known to be characterized by the so-called quantum adversary bound. While this result has been proved in the standard discretetime model of quantum computation, it also holds for continuous-time (or Hamiltonianbased) quantum computation, due to a known equivalence between these two query complexity models. In this work, we revisit this result by providing a direct pr...

The possibility of unifying dark-matter and dark-energy has recently attracted considerable interest. In this so called quartessence scenario, a single component is responsible for both the clustering of matter and the accelerated expansion of the universe. A model archetype for such scenario is provided by the Chaplygin gas. Although this model is in agreement with the data on the expansion hi...

In this paper a passive bilateral tele-operation between two pneumatic actuators is presented. The co-ordinated system is controlled to behave as a rigid mechanical tool that interacts with the human and other environment inputs. The input human forces when applied via a force sensor, can be amplified through the tele-operator to provide assistance for the human operator to perform the task eit...
