The problem of diffusion in a time-dependent (and generally inhomogeneous) external field is considered on the basis of a generalized master equation with two times, introduced by Trigger and co-authors [S. A. Trigger, G. J. F. van Heijst, and P. P. J. M. Schram, Physica A 347, 77 (2005); J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 11, 37 (2005)]. We consider the case of the quasi-Fokker-Planck approximation, when th...

The appearance of the QCD phase transition (QPT) atlow temperatures and high densities will change the prop-erties of neutron stars (NS). Whether this change will bevisible with telescopes and gravitational wave antennas de-pends strongly on the equation of state (eos) of hadronicand quark matter and on the construction of the phasetransition (PT).

We provide a formula for the scaling behaviour of the inflationary bispectrum in the ‘squeezed’ limit where one momentum becomes much smaller than the other two. This determines the scaling of the halo bias at low wavenumber and will be an important observable for the next generation of galaxy surveys. Our formula allows it to be predicted for the first time for a generic inflationary model wit...

The electron field emission of tetrahedral amorphous carbon ~ta-C! films deposited by filtered cathodic vacuum arc is reported. The ta-C films were found to have a threshold field ranging from 18 to 28 V mm, depending on the sp content. The nitrogenated ta-C ~ta-C:N! films show a lower threshold field of 12 V mm as compared to the ta-C films. The threshold field appears to be dependent on the f...

Whereas dc measurements of magnetic susceptibility, χ, fail to distinguish between local and weak itinerant ferromagnets, radio-frequency (rf) measurements of χ in the ferromagnetic state show dramatic differences between the two. We present sensitive tunnel-diode resonator measurements of χ in the weak itinerant ferromagnet ZrZn2 at a frequency of 23 MHz. Below Curie temperature, TC ≈ 26 K, th...

The Density Dependent Relativistic Hadron Field (DDRH) theory, previously introduced and applied to isospin nuclei, is extended to hypernuclei by including the octet hyperons. Infinite matter Dirac-Brueckner theory for octet baryons and the derivation of in-medium DDRH baryon-meson vertices is discussed. From the properties of Dirac-Brueckner interactions it is found that hyperon and nucleon se...

We critically analyze the introduction of an independent zero momentum mode field renormalization for φ. It leads to an infrared divergent effective action. It does not achieve its purpose: triviality still gives massless particles in the broken phase in the continuum limit. It leads to an effective potential which is not the low energy limit of the effective action. e-mail: [email protected]

| In this paper, M/G/C/C state dependent queueing models are proposed for modeling and analyzing vehicular traac ows. Congestion aspects of traac ow are represented by introducing state dependent service rates as a function of number of vehicles on each road link. Analytical models for unidirectional and multi-source ows are presented. Finally, queueing models to analytically determine the opti...
