This paper concentrates on the reflection of plane waves in the mixture of generalized thermo elastic solid half-space. There exists quasi dilatational waves i.e. qP1, qP2, qT and two rotational waves S1, S2 in a two dimensional model of the solid. The boundary conditions are solved to obtain a system of five non-homogeneous equations for amplitude ratios. These amplitude ratios are found to de...

We present the PFix algorithm for the fixed point problem f ðxÞ 1⁄4 x on a nonempty domain 1⁄2a; b ; where dX1; a; bAR ; and f is a Lipschitz continuous function with respect to the infinity norm, with constant qp1: The computed approximation x̃ satisfies the residual criterion jj f ðx̃Þ x̃jjNpe; where e40: In general, the algorithm requires no more than Pd i1⁄41s i function component evaluations,...

Utilizing a simple field-theoretic model we consider the production of time-like muon pairs via a massive virtual photon in high energy hadronic collisions. We predict the differential cross section m'tbe mass-squared of the muon pair as well as the total cross section. We find that our form factors do not possess the analogue of the Bjorken scaling associated with deep inelastic electron scatt...

A new two-scale model is proposed for wave scattering from a composite surface. For each single scale surface roughness, we use a weighted sum of the newly developed statistical integral equation model and the second-order small slope approximation. With these two unifying models collaborating at each scale, this proposed compound model may capture the actual scattering mechanisms and lead to m...

We present a new analytical description of the cellular automaton model for singlelane traffic. In contrast to previous approaches we do not use the occupation number of sites as dynamical variable but rather the distance between consecutive cars. Therefore certain longerranged correlations are taken into account and even a mean-field approach yields non-trivial results. In fact for the model w...

Before 1980 it was unfashionable for a physicist to admit that he either did not understand and/or doubted the Truth and/or Orthodoxy, of Quantum Mechanics (Oil). Contemporary misdom deemed it impossible that it may lead to incorrect predictions. Thus, it was foolish to suggest that it warranted further testing. Said wisdom proclaimed that nothing would ever be gained by any such pursuit. Bohr ...
