A phenomenological lattice model of high Tc cuprates including order parameter phase fluctuations is considered within the BCS approximation, to interpret the experimental data from ARPES measurements on Bi2212 samples. A KosterlitzThouless (KT) transition temperature T c is estimated below the mean field transition T c , phase boundaries between competing order parameters of different symmetri...

The spinning waves occur in solid flames and detonation when the plane uniformly propagating reaction front loses stability. As a result, the front breaks into localized zones of intensive reaction. We study a 3D phenomenological model aimed at modeling such phenomena. The model constitutes a nonlinear partial differential equation. This work contains preliminary results demonstrating the capac...

Gating of sensory (e.g. auditory) information has been demonstrated as a reduction in the auditory-evoked potential responses recorded in the brain of both normal animals and human subjects. Auditory gating is perturbed in schizophrenic patients and pharmacologically by drugs such as amphetamine, phencyclidine or ketamine, which precipitate schizophrenic-like symptoms in normal subjects. The ne...

In this paper a macroscopic phenomenological model for the T cell mediated immune response due to a single type of antigen challenge is developed in the framework of the thermodynamic theory of fluid mixtures. Proliferation events accounting for the generation of T cell clones are considered, determining a non conservative balance for mass and momentum densities for the mixture as a whole in a ...

In this paper a general hydrodynamic mode coupling theory of equilibrium fluctuations in simple liquids is developed from molecular considerations. The approach developed hem avoids the shortcomings of previous mode coupling theories by adopting a complete hierarchy of equations for the slow modes of a hydrodynamic system and solving it formally through the N ordering approximation scheme devel...

In our previous article [1], we presented a simple phenomenological model for the description of production cross sections of superheavy nuclei in a wide range of excitation energies including cold, warm and hot fusion. The model assumes that the fusion hindrance, observed in cold fusion reactions where only one neutron is emitted prior to the formation of evaporation residue (ER), can be expla...
