Abstract. Inspired by quantum information theory, we look for representations of the braid groups Bn on V ⊗(n+m−2) for some fixed vector space V such that each braid generator σi, i = 1, ..., n−1, acts on m consecutive tensor factors from i through i+m− 1. The braid relation for m = 2 is essentially the YangBaxter equation, and the cases for m > 2 are called generalized Yang-Baxter equations. W...

In this article our objective is to obtain steady state characteristics of shunt, series, and separately excited DC motors coupled with a centrifugal water pump supplied through a step-up, step-down, and cuk converter from photovoltaic generator. We assume that there are no storage batteries and, of course, the system must operate on maximum utilization i.e. maximum water must be pumped. It is ...

We prove that, under certain conditions, the topology of the event horizon of a four dimensional asymptotically flat black hole spacetime must be a 2-sphere. No stationarity assumption is made. However, in order for the theorem to apply, the horizon topology must be unchanging for long enough to admit a certain kind of cross section. We expect this condition is generically satisfied if the topo...

Theorem A (Landsberg) Let H be an irreducible compact Hermitian symmetric space of rank 2, different from the hyperquadric Qn ⊂ Pn+1. Let H ⊂ PN be a minimal non-degenerate equivariant embedding, equivalently, an embedding of H in PN defined by the complete linear system associated to the ample generator of Pic(H) ∼= Z. Let M ⊂ PN be a (not necessarily closed) complex sub-manifold with dim(M) =...

The aims of this study were to introduce a new laboratory microwave device developed for the modification of wood properties and to examine the effect of microwave radiation on moisture loss, surface temperature, and mechanical properties (the static modulus of elasticity MOE, and the modulus of rupture MOR) of Norway spruce (Picea abies). The device was developed for a continuous modification ...

In order to increase the use of biogas plants in Korea, a farm-scale biogas plant with a working volume of 200 m was constructed at the pig farm in Sung Hwan, Korea as a demonstration project supported by the Korean government. This plant mainly consists of an anaerobic digester processing daily 10 m pig manure and a dual-fuel engine-generator to produce heat and electricity. Digestion takes pl...

This study aimed to present the experimental results of two types turbines and attachments used in a hydro-compact generator. Two Horizontal Spiral Turbines (HSTs) with blade angles eighteen twenty-one degrees, respectively, three-blade turbine were tested experimented laboratory at five levels water flow rate ranging from 1–2 m/s. After efficiency torque values each identified, they installed ...

In [HNa] the submitters generalize the BMGL generator in order to allow keystream synchronization with random access properties. This synchronization is done by an initialization vector. Furthermore they present a sketch for a security proof based on the assumption that the iterated Rijndael mapping is hard to invert even if an attacker has a number of extra plaintext-ciphertext pairs. In [HNb]...

The integrated solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC)/gas turbine (GT) system is an appealing power generation solution for mobile applications from energy conversion efficiency point of view. The relatively poor dynamic capabilities of the SOFC/GT system, which are often the results of system characteristics and SOFC operation safety considerations, limit their widespread applications and must be enhanc...
