From the Dirac sea concept and the Quark Model, we infer a phenomenological accompanying excitation concept. This concept will give an explanation for the confinement of quarks. A Introduction The Standard Model [1] has been enormously successful in explaining and predicting a wide range of phenomena. There is a weak point, however, a rigorous basis for confinement of the quarks is needed [2]. ...

Reorganization of power generation, thereby replacing conventional energy sources by innovative renewable energy sources, demands a change in distribution grid structure and operation. The foreseen Decentralized Marked Agent is a new role in the energy market sector accomplishing not only trading on energy and operating reserve markets but also regulating flexibilities at the distribution grid ...

This paper presents new technique for discovering temporal patterns when considered primitives are intervals. Apriori technique is the most used one to deal with temporal patterns using point primitives. An extension of this technique is proposed by Höppner to deal with interval primitives. In this paper, we show that it is not necessary to discover all patterns, instead it is sufficient to dis...

We show that Dark Energy contributions can not be determined from noise measurements of Josephson junctions, as was recently suggested in a paper by C. Beck and M.C. Mackey. Zero-point energies and non-gravitational effects In a recent paper [1] of C. Beck and M.C. Mackey the possibility was suggested that part of the zero-point energy of the radiation field that is gravitationally active can b...

In the past few years, wireless microsensor networks have attracted a great deal of attention in the research community. This is due to the applications that will be enabled once wireless microsensor networks are in place. The design of wireless microsensor networks, however, represents a difficult challenge. Since many applications require fault-tolerant, long-term sensing, one important chall...

The two-point functions for the vector and axial currents Vμ = dγμu and Aμ = dγμγ5u contain information on the hadronic resonances ρ, ρ , a1, etc. While it has thus far not been possible to calculate these two-point functions from QCD, their behavior is constrained at low energy by Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), at high energy by the OPE, and at all scales by large Nc, in which limit the tw...

This paper addresses the problem of reconstructing the trajectory of a point viewed by an uncalibrated moving camera, in which at each frame all that is known is the 3D position of the camera. When the camera's inner parameters are also given it is trivial to reconstruct a xed point in space, which is the intersection of the rays given by the camera's centers and the viewed pixels. When the 3D ...

Energy inefficient software implementations may cause battery drain for small systems and high energy costs for large systems. Dynamic energy analysis is often applied to mitigate these issues. However, this is often hardware-specific and requires repetitive measurements using special equipment. We present a static analysis deriving upper-bounds for energy consumption based on an introduced ene...

We report on our project to find explicit examples of K3 surfaces having real or complex multiplication. Our strategy is to search through the arithmetic consequences of RM and CM. In order to do this, an efficient method is needed for point counting on surfaces defined over finite fields. For this, we describe algorithms that are p-adic in nature.

We provide a world-sheet interpretation to the plane wave limit of a large class of exact supergravity backgrounds in terms of logarithmic conformal field theories. As an illustrative example, we consider the two-dimensional conformal field theory of the coset model SU(2)N/U(1) times a free time-like boson U(1)−N , which admits a space-time interpretation as a three-dimensional plane wave solut...
