We present an extension of the Keldysh-Green's function method, which allows one to calculate the full distribution of transmitted particles through a mesoscopic superconductor. The method is applied to the statistics of supercurrent in short contacts. If the current is carried by Andreev bound states the distribution corresponds to switching between long trains of electrons going in opposite d...

Globalization and growing competition have accelerated the need for knowledge intensive work performance in all the sectors of economy. In the agriculture sector constant application of latest ideas and better work technologies is essential to enhance productivity in the interest of economic well being of farmers and for ensuring food security. The current models of agriculture knowledge transf...

Topological entanglements in polymers are mimicked by sliding rings (slip links) that enforce pair contacts between monomers. We study the force-extension curve for linear polymers in which slip links create additional loops of variable sizes. For a single loop in a phantom chain, we obtain exact expressions for the average end-to-end separation. The linear response to a small force is related ...

Aiming at a fast and robust simulation of large multibody systems with contacts and friction, this work presents a novel method for solving large cone complementarity problems by means of a fixed-point iteration. The method is an extension of the Gauss-Seidel and Gauss-Jacobi method with overrelaxation for symmetric convex linear complementarity problems. The method is proved to be convergent u...

In mammals, sensorineural deafness results from damage to the auditory receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain or the cortical area that receives sound information. In this review, we first focused on the cellular and molecular events taking part to spiral ganglion axon growth, extension to the organ of Corti, and refinement. In the second half, we considered the functional ...

this research was based on primary data collected through well designed and pre-tested questionnaire, to determine awareness of farmers on extension methods used by adp in kano state of nigeria. multistage sampling technique was used, in which three local governments were randomly selected. secondly, three wards one each from the selected local governments (danbatta, gaya and madobi) were rando...

present study was conducted in the three provinces of pakistan with the objectives to study the curricula relevancy with the participatory extension, supervision and administration and its practical applicability at the field level. for this extension agents of the selected provinces were selected purposively. mail questionnaire were used as instruments for data collection form 227 respondents ...
