A brief review is given of the continuous spontaneous localization (CSL ) model , in which a classical field interacts with quantized particles to cause dynamical wavefunction collapse. One of the model ’s predictions is that particles `̀ spontaneously’’ gain energy at a slow rate. When applied to the excitation of a nucleon in a Ge nucleus, it is shown how a limit on the relative collapse rates...

In this article we have developed third order exact finite difference method for the numerical solution of third order boundary value problems. We constructed our numerical technique without change in structure of the coefficient matrix of the second-order method in cite{Pand}. We have discussed convergence of the proposed method. Numerical experiments on model test problems approves the simply...

The first observations and measurements are reported on suppression of the third-order intermodulation (IM3) product arising from nonlinear mixing of two drive frequencies in a klystron, by externally injecting a wave at the IM3 product frequency. Optimum amplitude and phase of the injected wave for maximum suppression are examined. Results indicate that suppression of the IM3 product by as muc...

Abstract. Traditionally, extending the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to third-order tensors (multiway arrays) has involved a representation using the outer product of vectors. These outer products can be written in terms of the n-mode product, which can also be used to describe a type of multiplication between two tensors. In this paper, we present a different type of third-order generaliz...

Over the last few years, the automata-theoretic approach to realizability checking and synthesis of reactive modules, developed by Pnueli and Rosner, by Abadi, Lamport, and Wolper, and by Dill and Wong-Toi, has been quite successful, handling both the synchronous and the asynchronous cases. In this approach one transforms the specification into a tree automaton. The specification is realizable ...

Third order shear deformation theory of cylindrical shells is employed to investigate the vibration characteristics of non-homogeneous cylindrical shells surrounded by an elastic medium. The kinematic relations are obtained using the strain-displacement relations of Donnell shell theory. The shell properties are considered to be dependent on both position and thermal environment. A suitable fun...

in this paper, we use a third degree b-spline function to construct an approximate solution forthird order linear and nonlinear boundary value problems coupled with the least square method. severalexamples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed technique.

the aim of this empirical study is to explore the trade-off model and pecking order model of capital structure. the investigation is performed using panel data procedures for a sample of 76 firms listed in tehran stock exchange during 2007-2010.the study employs ols regression model in examining the capital structure of firms in iran. the study employs variables reflecting differing theoretical...
