We consider the 4d compact U (1) gauge theory with fundamental-adjoint action on a hypertorus. We give a full characterization of the phase diagram of this model in terms of topological flux sectors. 1. The flux in abelian gauge theories Consider an abelian gauge theory defined on a hypercube of size L and periodic boundary conditions. In the continuum the definition of flux through any (µ, ν) ...

In this paper, two kinds of vibrations are considered for a composite Timoshenko rotor: longitudinal-torsional vibration and two plane transverse one. The kinetic and potential energies and virtual work due to the gyroscopic effects are calculated and the set of six governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton principle. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is used as ...

A new method to realize arbitrary time-frequency plane tilings together with critical sampling in block-recursive filterbanks is presented. The method leads to pole-zero approximation of the target channel transfer functions. Perfect reconstruction within the limits of the approximation error can be achieved.

Abstract. A maritime pine plantation in central Portugal that has been continuously monitored using the eddy-covariance technique for carbon fluxes since a wildfire 2017 was significantly affected by two storms during December 2019 resulted large-scale windthrow. This study analyses impacts of this windthrow on aerodynamic characteristics zero-plane displacement and roughness length and, ultima...

The variability of the high-energy gamma ray sources in the Third EGRET catalog is analyzed by a new method. We re-analyze the EGRET data to calculate a likelihood function for the flux of each source in each observation, both for detections and upper limits. These functions can be combined in a uniform manner with a simple model of the flux distribution to characterize the flux variation by a ...

micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. an essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of inte...

Consider a plane monochromatic wave incident on a semi-infinite periodic structure. What happens if the normal component of the transmitted wave group velocity vanishes? At first sight, zero normal component of the transmitted wave group velocity simply implies total reflection of the incident wave. But we demonstrate that total reflection is not the only possible outcome. Instead, the transmit...

Solutions for the stress and pore pressure p are derived due to sudden introduction of a plane strain shear dislocation on a leaky plane in a linear poroelastic, fluid-infiltrated solid. For a leaky plane, y 1⁄4 0, the fluid mass flux is proportional to the difference in pore pressure across the plane requiring that Dp 1⁄4 R@p=@y, where R is a constant resistance. For R 1⁄4 0 and R ! 1, the exp...
