We offer a unifying theory for turbulent purely internally heated convection, generalizing the theories of Grossmann and Lohse (2000, 2001) Rayleigh--B\'enard turbulence Shishkina, (2016) horizontal which are both based on splitting kinetic thermal dissipation rates in respective boundary bulk contributions. obtain mean temperature system Reynolds number (which response parameters) as function ...

We look at the Yang-Lee zeros in the complex temperature plane of Bose-Einstein condensate in a harmonic trap of dimensions 2− 5. We apply the Grossmann classification scheme to characterize the phase transition. We observe how the true phase transition is approached in the infinite particle number limit. We find the scaling with respect to particle number of the imaginary part of the zero of t...

This paper discusses an implementation of the Outer-Approximation/Equality-Relaxation algorithm for solving MINLP problems that arise in process systems engineering. The computer code DICOPT has been developed utilizing state-of-the-art optimization tools and a powerful modelling language. Computational experience in solving fifteen MINLP problems with DICOPT is reported. Applications include d...

A very brief review is given of the current state of research in quantum gravity. Over the past fifteen years, two approaches have emerged as the most promising paths to a quantum theory of gravity: string theory and quantum geometry. I will discuss the main achievements and open problems of each of these approaches, and compare their strengths and weaknesses. Talk presented at the Ninth Marcel...

We show how T-duality can be implemented with brane cosmology. As a result, we obtain a smooth bouncing cosmology with features similar to the ones of the pre-Big Bang scenario. Also, by allowing T-duality transformations along the time-like direction, we find a static solution that displays an interesting self tuning property. Based on a talk given at the XI Marcel Grossmann Meeting, Berlin 23...

The objectives of this paper are to give a brief overview of the code LogMIP and to report numerical experience on a set of test problems. LOGMIP is currently the only code for disjunctive programming, which has implemented the research work done on this area on the last decade. Major motivations in the development of LogMIP have been to facilitate problem formulation of discrete/continuous opt...
