We carry out a numerical simulation of a domain-wall model in (4+1) dimensions, in the presence of a quenched U(1) dynamical gauge field only in an extra dimension, corresponding to the weak coupling limit of a (4-dimensional) physical gauge coupling. Our numerical data suggest that the zero mode seems absent in the symmetric phase, so that it is difficult to construct a lattice chiral gauge th...

This paper deals with the modeling of the key mechanisms involved in the fracture of polymers: shear yielding and crazing. Along with the continuum model for shear yielding, we will discuss a recently proposed cohesive surface model for crazing. Applications to be presented include the study of the competition between the two mechanisms during growth of a mode I crack, and a numerical investiga...

The system consisting of a fermion in the background wobbling kink is studied this paper. To investigate impact on fermion-kink interaction, we employ time-dependent perturbation theory formalism quantum mechanics. do so, compute transition probabilities between states given terms Bogoliubov coefficients. We derive Fermi's golden rule for model, which allows to continuum at constant rate if cou...

The Boltzmann transport equation is often used for non-continuum transport when the mean free path of phonons is of the order of device sizes. One particular application involves heat generation in electronic devices. In a highly scaled MOSFET, for example, the majority of the heat is produced in a localized region immediately below the gate on the drain side. The size of this generation region...

I want to offer a new approach to the history of American ethnic intermarriage--to ask new questions and exploit newly available evidence. Intermarriage patterns have always been important in this country, but in present-day America there is a renewed attention to such patterns, for two reasons. First, new waves of immigrants lead observers to ask whether or not the future of American ethnic li...

This paper presents an automated tool for local, conformal refinement of all-hexahedral meshes based on the insertion of multidirectional twist planes into the spatial twist continuum. The refinement process is divided into independent refinement steps. In each step, an inserted twist plane modifies a single sheet or two parallel hex sheets. Six basic templates, chosen and oriented based on the...

Abstract: We present an update of the JetViP 1.1 program for performing fixed NLO calculations in jet production including direct and resolved components in a continuous range of photon virtuality Q. The new version allows to access the full event record on the parton level. The program is set up such that hbook can be used to fill histograms. The phase space generator has been optimized and th...

The Borromean two-neutron halo nuclei 11Li and 6He have been attracting many theoretical and experimental studies since the ground state and the excited modes are not both well understood yet, and knowledge of the continuum properties will contribute to our understanding of the properties of these nuclei. To illustrate the puzzling features half-unveiled in this field, various theories [1–3] pr...

One of the most well known examples of phenomena that introduces and motivates the study of continuum percolation is the process of the ground getting wet during a period of rain. At each point hit by a raindrop, one sees a circular wet patch. Right after the rain begins to fall what one sees is a small wet region inside a large dry region. At some instant, so many raindrops have hit the ground...
