I mainly describe neutrino masses and oscillations in the gauge model with SO(3) F lepton flavor symmetry and with two Higgs triplets. It is shown how the maximal mixing between ν µ and ν τ neutrinos comes out naturally after spontaneous breaking of the symmetry. The nearly two-flavor mixing scenario is resulted naturally from an approximate permutation symmetry between the two Higgs triplets. ...

We consider the particle mixing in the plane by two vortex points appearing one after the other, called the blinking vortex system. Mathematical and numerical studies of the system reveal that the chaotic particle mixing, i.e., the chaotic advection, is observed due to the homoclinic chaos, but the mixing region is restricted locally in the neighborhood of the vortex points. The present article...

The instability of supersonic mixing layers, with velocity profiles possessing a wake component, is investigated using linear, inviscid, spatial theory. The mean-velocity profile is represented by a hyperbolic-tangent profile plus a wake component. Such profiles are encountered in the initial region of experimental supersonic shear-layer lIows, as well as in envisaged hypersonic propulsion syst...

Cross-spectral and synchronization analysis of two independent, identical chaotic Rössler systems suggest a coupling although there is no interaction. This spuriously detected interaction can either be explained by the absence of mixing or by finite size effects. To decide which alternative holds the phase dynamics is studied by a model of the fluctuations derived from the system's equations. T...

The exotic baryon Θ + (1540 MeV) is visualized as an expected (iso) rota-tional excitation in the Chiral Soliton Model. It is also argued as a Pentaquark baryon state in a constituent quark model with strong diquark correlations. I contrast the two points of view; observe the similarities and differences between the two pictures. Collective excitation, characteristic of Chiral Soliton Model poi...

We prove that the spectral gap of the Swendsen-Wang process for the Potts model on graphs with bounded degree is bounded from below by some constant times the spectral gap of any single-spin dynamics. This implies rapid mixing for the two-dimensional Potts model at all temperatures above the critical one, as well as rapid mixing at the critical temperature for the Ising model. After this we int...

A simple surface-mounted tapered tab has recently attracted uids research both for its ability to enhance mixing and heat transfer (for which it is known as high-e ciency vortab mixer) and for its generation of coherent structures that are topologically similar to those found in natural turbulent boundary layers. Two types of structures, namely pressure-driven counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP)...

supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...
