In this paper, the effect of elastic foundation on the out of plane displacement of functionally graded circular plates using differential transform method is presented. Differential transform method is a semi-analytical-numerical solution technique that is capable to solve various types of differential equations. Using this method, governing differential equations are transformed into recursiv...

I briefly review the source of the so-called intrinsic ambiguity and show how the combination of “golden” and “silver” channel at the Neutrino Factory can solve the problem, in the absence of other sources of degeneracies. I then relaxed the hypothesis θ23 = 45◦ and show how the different dependence of the two channels on θ23 can help in solving the intrinsic and θ23-octant ambiguity at the sam...

Embedded system design methodologies that are based on the effective use of multiple levels of abstraction hold promise for substantial productivity gains. Starting the design process at a high level of abstraction improves control over the design and facilitates verification and synthesis. In particular, if we use a rigorous approach to link the levels of abstraction, we can establish properti...

The category of finite cardinals (or, equivalently, of finite sets) is the symmetric analogue of the category of finite ordinals, and the ground category of a relevant category of presheaves, the augmented symmetric simplicial sets. We prove here that this ground category has characterisations similar to the classical ones for the category of finite ordinals, by the existence of a universal sym...

An algebraic classification of second order symmetric tensors in 5-dimensional Kaluza-Klein-type Lorentzian spaces is presented by using Jordan matrices. We show that the possible Segre types are [1, 1111], [2111], [311], [z z̄ 111], and the degeneracies thereof. A set of canonical forms for each Segre type is found. The possible continuous groups of symmetry for each canonical form are also stu...

The body of work on multi-body factorization separates between objects whose motions are independent. In this work we show that in many cases objects moving with different 3D motions will be captured as a single object using these approaches. We analyze what causes these degeneracies between objects and suggest an approach for overcoming some of them. We further show that in the case of multipl...

The presence of degeneracies can considerably worsen the measure of the neutrino oscillation parameters θ13 and δ. We study the physics reach of a specific “CERN” setup, using a standard β-Beam and Super-Beam facility. These facilities have a similar sensitivity in both parameters. Their combination does not provide any dramatic improvement as expected due to their almost identical L/E ratio. W...
