We study the space geometry of a rotating disk both from a theoretical and operational approach, in particular we give a precise definition of the space of the disk, which is not clearly defined in the literature. To this end we define an extended 3-space, which we call relative space: it is recognized as the only space having an actual physical meaning from an operational point of view, and it...

Misaligned accretion disks surrounding rotating compact objects experience a torque due to the LenseThirring effect, which leads to precession of the inner disk. It has been suggested that this effect could be responsible for some low frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations observed in the X-ray lightcurves of neutron star and galactic black hole systems. We investigate this possibility via time-...

A method of sample preparation based on use of rotating disk sorptive extraction (RDSE) has been developed for determination of triclosan (TCS) and methyl-triclosan (MTCS) in water samples. The sorptive and desorptive behavior of the analytes was studied by use of a rotating disk coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on one of its surfaces. Chemical and extraction behavior were studied to est...

Von Kármán’s problem of a rotating disk in an infinite viscous fluid is extended to the case where the disk surface admits partial slip. The nonlinear similarity equations are integrated accurately for the full range of slip coefficients. The effects of slip are discussed. An existence proof is also given.

In this work we explore the idea that the high frequency QPOs observed in LMXBs may be explained as a resonant coupling between the neutron star spin and epicyclic modes of accretion disk oscillations. We propose a new model for these QPOs based on forced oscillations induced in the accretion disk due to a stellar asymmetric rotating gravitational or magnetic field. It is shown that particles e...

A common error, originally due to Ehrenfest, is corrected. Typeset using REVTEX 1 A recent book [1] with the same title as above contains 17 articles by various authors, following the English translation of a brief note by Paul Ehrenfest [2] who applied a Lorentz contraction to the rim of a rotating disk, whose radius was not contracted. This is plainly wrong: Lorentz contractions occur when we...

Subsequent to Paper I, the evolution and fragmentation of a rotating magnetized cloud are studied with use of three-dimensional MHD nested-grid simulations. After the isothermal runaway collapse, an adiabatic gas forms a protostellar first core at the center of the cloud. When the isothermal gas is stable for fragmentation in a contracting disk, the adiabatic core often breaks into several frag...

Achieving data availability and reliability guarantees against disk failure using redundancy coding scheme. X-code is a double tolerant to achieve the optimal update complexity. It reduces the possibility of data unavailability when disk/node fails. X-code based optimal recovery scheme Minimum-disk-read-recovery (MDRR) and Group-based MDRR (GMDRR) minimizes the number of disk reads for a single...

In a recent paper we presented analytic expressions for the axis potential, the disk metric, and the surface mass density of the global solution to Einstein's field equations describing a rigidly rotating disk of dust. Here we add the complete solution in terms of ultraelliptic functions and quadratures.
