We consider a holographic model of QCD at finite temperature with nonzero chemical potentials conjugate to R-charge densities. A critical surface of the confinement-deconfinement phase transition is shown for five-dimensional charged black hole solution given by Behrnd, Cvetič and Sabra. On a special section of the parameter space, we find an critical curve being similar to the one expected in ...

Experimental data for density, viscosity, refractive index and surface tension are reported, for the first time, in the temperature range between 288.15 K and 353.15 K and at atmospheric pressure for two protic ionic liquids, namely 2-(dimethylamino)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-ammonium acetate, [N11{2(N11)}H][CH3CO2], and N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium phenylacetate, [N112H][C7H7CO2]. The effect of the ...

We present an improved model for the dissipation and dispersion in an acoustic resonator filled with xenon near its critical temperature Tc. We test the model with acoustic measurements in stirred xenon that have a temperature resolution of (T - Tc)/Tc approximately 7 x 10(-6). The model includes the frequency-dependent bulk viscosity calculated numerically from renormalization-group theory and...

Depletion of the liquid density near a solid surface with a weak longrange fluid-surface interaction was studied by computer simulations of the liquidvapor coexistence of a LJ fluid confined in slitlike pores. In a wide temperature range the liquid density decreases towards the surface without the formation of a vapor layer between the liquid and the solid surface. This evidences the absence of...

Urbanization brings biophysical changes in the composition of the landscape. Such change has an impact on the thermal environment locally. The urban mosaic of land use and land cover is thus characteristically composed of local climate zones. The spatial variation in the land surface temperature across specific zone is studied for Bhopal city. The objective of the study was to understand how th...
