Probably the most promising way of detecting cosmic neutrinos is measuring the mechanical force exerted by elastic scattering of cosmic neutrinos from macroscopic targets. The expected acceleration is ∼ 10cm/s for Dirac neutrinos of mass ∼ 10 eV and local density ∼ 10/cm. A novel torsion balance design is presented, which addresses the sensitivity-limiting factors of existing balances, such as ...

This note discusses a rigorous mathematical formulation for the evolution of the Eliassen balanced vortex. It is first shown that a stable balanced vortex of finite extent can be embedded in an ambient fluid at rest, and that such a vortex exists for prescribed angular momentum and potential temperature on fluid parcels. This uses a method developed by Shutts, Booth and Norbury. This is a diffe...

Personality constructs were proposed to describe intraindividual variability in interpersonal behavior. Flux refers to variability about an individual's mean score on an interpersonal dimension and was examined for the 4 poles of the interpersonal circumplex. Pulse and spin refer to variability about an individual's mean extremity and mean angular coordinate on the interpersonal circumplex. The...

Numerous modifications in nail and screw design have led to the development of the Expert Tibial Nail. It enables the surgeon to further extend the spectrum of fractures eligible for intramedullary nailing. In the proximal metaphysis spongious bone screws achieve an optimized purchase in the cancellous bone. Multidirectional interlocking screws ensure that alignment can be well maintained and s...

Stability of a Bingham fluid in Taylor-Couette flow is studied. Of interest is to determine the critical values of the inner and outer cylinder angular velocities which cause the linear instability in the system. We introduce a perturbation into the basic flow, and examine the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for the perturbation. Assuming a normal mode solution for the perturbation, we obtai...

We report existence of a qualitatively distinct class of spiral waves in the two-dimensional cubic-quintic complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. These are stable clusters of localized states rotating around a central vortex core emerging due to interference of the tails of the individual states involved. We also develop an asymptotic theory allowing calculation of the angular frequency and stabilit...

The direct implicit method with a second-order implicit integration scheme is formulated for and applied to the electron parallel nonlinearity in global electrostatic gyrokinetic particle-in-cell simulations of toroidal fusion plasmas. The method shows improved numerical accuracy and stability properties compared to the direct implicit method with a first-order integration scheme. The conservat...

This is a complementary document to the paper presented in [1], where more detailed proofs are provided for some results. The main paper addresses the problem of trajectory tracking control of autonomous rotorcraft in operation scenarios where only relative position measurements obtained from LiDAR sensors are possible. The proposed approach defines an alternative kinematic model, directly base...

Vortex solutions in the two Higgs doublet electroweak model are constructed, and their stability to small perturbations is studied. The most general perturbation is decomposed into angular momentum modes, the least stable mode is identified, and the linearised energy change of the vortex under this perturbation is calculated numerically for various choices of parameters, thus determining whethe...
