A mapping between the operators of the bosonic oscillator and the Lorentz rotation and boost generators is presented. The analog of this map in the qdeformed regime is then applied to q-deformed bosonic oscillators to generate a q-deformed Lorentz algebra, via an inverse of the standard chiral decomposition. A fundamental representation, and the co-algebra structure, are given, and the generato...

In this paper we have studied the nature of kinematical and dynamical laws in κ-Minkowski spacetime from a new perspective: the canonical phase space approach. We discuss a particular form of κ-Minkowski phase space algebra that yields the κ-extended finite Lorentz transformations derived in [16]. This is a particular form of a Deformed Special Relativity model that admits a modified energy-mom...

As a novel civil engineering material, Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) has attracted more and attention due to its strain-hardening characteristics, good post-cracking resistance unique properties. Bonding between rebar great effect on the mechanical behavior of structural members. In this paper, direct pull-out tests were conducted understand bond ECC rebar. The test parameters include...

A fermion realization of the compact symplectic sp(4) algebra provides a natural framework for studying isovector pairing correlations in nuclei. While these correlations manifest themselves most clearly in the binding energies of 0 ground states, they also have a large effect on the energies of excited states, including especially excited 0 states. In this article we consider non-deformed as w...

Civil infrastructure especially the rigid pavements have been increasingly covering a huge part of the infrastructure around us with the demand of rapid urbanization. The quality and condition assessment of it after its construction is an important issue with the engineers. The need for defect diagnosis and verification of their various design parameters is vital and important for quality contr...

Mesh deformation methods are a versatile strategy for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) with a vast variety of practical applications. However, these methods break down for elliptic PDEs with discontinuous coefficients, namely, elliptic interface problems. For this class of problems, the additional interface jump conditions are required to maintain the well-posedness of the governin...

Deformed wing virus (DWV) in association with Varroa destructor is currently attributed to being responsible for colony collapse in the western honey bee (Apis mellifera). The appearance of deformed individuals within an infested colony has long been associated with colony losses. However, it is unknown why only a fraction of DWV positive bees develop deformed wings. This study concerns two sma...
