It has recently been suggested that the baryon washout problem of the standard electroweak baryogenesis scenario could be avoided if inflation ends with a period of parametric resonance at a low enough energy density. I present results of numerical simulations in which this process was studied in the Abelian Higgs model. Our results show that because of the masslessness of the gauge field, the ...

Recent work in two brane Randall-Sundrum models has shown that the radion can drive parametric amplification of particles on the TeV brane leading to a stage of cosmology similar to preheating. We consider radion induced preheating as a mechanism for electroweak scale baryogenesis and estimate the baryon to entropy ratio for some regions of parameter space. We also predict an upper bound for th...

Proving that an uncertain parametric model is stable amounts to prove the inclusion of two sets: the set A of all feasible parameters and the set B of all parameters for which the model is stable. In this paper, a new algorithm, able to decide whether or not A is included in B, is presented. The method is based on interval analysis which is a numerical tool able to deal with inequalities in a g...

We propose a nonparametric procedure to test the hypothesis that the j-th largest eigenvalues of a covariance matrix are equal in multipopulation. We apply the Mood test by using the principal component scores and deal the equality of eigenvalues with the equality of variance. We investigate the significance level and the power of test by simulation and show that this nonparametric test is usef...

Metal-based composites can fail as a consequence of the growth and coalescence micro-voids introduced with manufacturing process. These detrimental phenomena influence overall performance material to different extents since macroscopic characteristics depend on both local constitutive properties geometry patterns, which promote various stress concentration strain localization effects. The under...

Background:Brucellosis or Malta fever is one of the most common zoonotic diseases in the world. In addition to causing human suffering and dire economic impact on animals, due to the high prevalence of Brucellosis in the western regions of Isfahan province, this study aimed to analyze effective factors in the time of Brucellosis diagnosis using parametric and semi-parametric mo...
