We report the phase coexistence properties of polarizable Stockmayer fluids of reduced permanent dipoles |m0| = 1.0 and 2.0 and reduced polarizabilities α∗ = 0.00, 0.03, and 0.06, calculated by a series of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations with the histogram reweighting method. In the histogram reweighting method, the distributions of density and energy calculated in Grand Canonical Monte...

In the present paper we discuss a density functional approach for nonuniform ionic fluids, which takes into account the existence of ion pairs. The theory is based on a fundamental measure theory of hard-spheres, the theory of Gillespie et al., which leads to a more accurate description of the electrostatic part of the grand potential as well as on Wertheim’s association theory. The results of ...

We study the Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition in a weakly interacting gas through a perturbative analysis of finite systems. In both the grand canonical and the canonical ensembles, perturbation theory suffers from infrared divergences and cannot directly determine the transition temperature in the thermodynamic limit. However, in conjunction with finite size scaling, perturbation th...

A key decision in the design of an operating system is which facilities to provide for the management and composition of the address space. A wide spectrum of schemes exist, ranging from the private process address spaces of Unix through to the recently revived single address space approach. This paper proposes a new model which provides a unified and generalised approach to address space manag...

A "new" scenario is proposed for baryogenesis. We show that the delayed decay of colored Higgs particles in grand unified theories may generate an excess baryon number of the empirically desired amount, if the mass of the heaviest neutrino is in the range 0.02 eV<m(nu(3))<0.8 eV, provided that neutrinos are of the Majorana type. The scenario accommodates the case of degenerate neutrino masses, ...

A formalism is presented to construct a non-perturbative Grand Unified Theory when gravitational Planck-scale phenomena are included. The fundamental object on the Planck scale is the threetorus T 3 from which the known properties of superstrings, such as the geometric action and duality, follow directly. The low energy theory is 11-dimensional and compactification to a Lorentzian fourmanifold ...
