The objective of this study is to investigated thermal diffusion and radiation effects on unsteady free convection chemically reacting fluid flow past an accelerated infinite inclined plate with variable temperature and mass diffusion under the influence of uniform transverse magnetic field when the magnetic lines of force are fixed relative to the fluid or to the plate studied in two cases, (i...

Many real-world applications can be described as large-scale games of imperfect information. To deal with these challenging domains, prior work has focused on computing Nash equilibria in a handcrafted abstraction of the domain. In this paper we introduce the first scalable endto-end approach to learning approximate Nash equilibria without any prior knowledge. Our method combines fictitious sel...

cross-linked polymeric organogels have attracted much attention in recent years. most synthesized organogels are based on low molecular weight or denderitic materials. the study focuses on the preparation of an alcohol absorbent organogel based on 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulphonic acid (amps) through cross-linking polymerization. polyethylene glycol diacrylate-400 and ammonium persulphate ...

Self-play Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has been successful in many perfect-information twoplayer games. Although these methods have been extended to imperfect-information games, so far they have not achieved the same level of practical success or theoretical convergence guarantees as competing methods. In this paper we introduce Smooth UCT, a variant of the established Upper Confidence Bounds...

In the framework of the HIJING model global characteristics of nucleusnucleus collisions are studied for a Large Hadron Collider energy scale. An interesting model prediction is the presence of a central bump over a pseudorapidity plateau of a total transverse energy distribution. The bump is induced by a jet quenching effect in a dense nuclear matter. It is shown that on a wide acceptance calo...

The surfaces of fresh and tarnished (through exposure to the atmosphere) bornite have been studied by measurement of reflectance and quantitative colour parameters in the visible region, X-ray photoelectron and Auger electron spectroscopy, and conversion electron M6ssbauer spectroscopy. The results of these studies, in combination with those of previous workers, indicate that a surface coating ...

We discuss the limitations of 't Hooft's proposal for the black hole S-matrix. We find that the validity of the S-matrix implies violation of the semi-classical approximation at scales large compared to the Planck scale. We also show that the effect of the centrifugal barrier on the S-matrix is crucial even for large transverse distances.

Multipion production in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions is considered in the model of the pion radiation by classical current. Strong coherent effects of narrowing of pion longitudinal and transverse momenta distributions are predicted at the RHIC energy. The coherence enhances the large pseudorapidities producing the bump in the distribution. The growth of the average pion multiplicity ...

  The effect of magnetic field on an incompressible (Kuvshiniski-Type) viscoelastic rotating fluid heated from below in porous medium is considered. For the case of stationary convection, magnetic field and medium permeability have both stabilizing and destabilizing effect on the thermal convection under some conditions whereas rotation has a stabilizing effect on the thermal convection. In the...

We have studied the wet thermal oxidation of In0.52Al0.48As and its potential application in current and optical confinement in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers VCSELs . Two types of InP-based heterostructures were used to study the effect of adjacent layer compositions on the lateral oxidation behavior of the InAlAs. It was found that the oxidation of In0.52Al0.48As with InP adjacent la...
