We study the Casimir force on a single surface immersed in an inhomoge-neous medium. Specifically we study the vacuum fluctuations of a scalar field with a spatially varying squared mass, m 2 + λ∆(x − a) + V (x), where V is a smooth potential and ∆(x) is a unit-area function sharply peaked around x = 0. ∆(x − a) represents a semi-penetrable thin plate placed at x = a. In the limits {∆(x−a) → δ(...

Recent work has produced a theory for tropical convective available potential energy (CAPE) that highlights the Clausius-Clapeyron (CC) scaling of the atmosphere’s saturation deficit as a driver of increases in CAPE with warming. Here we test this so-called “zero-buoyancy” theory for CAPE by modulating the saturation deficit of cloud-resolving simulations of radiative-convective equilibrium in ...

In low-collisionality plasmas, anisotropic heat conduction due to a magnetic field leads to buoyancy instabilities for any nonzero temperature gradient. We study analogous instabilities in degenerate collisional plasmas, i.e., when the electron collision frequency is large compared to the electron cyclotron frequency. Although heat conduction is nearly isotropic in this limit, the small residua...

Abstract Thermospheric waves occurring around the time of the 14 July 2000 solar flare were investigated using the Global Ionosphere and Thermosphere Model. The simulation results showed that extensive acoustic and gravity waves were excited by the solar flare in the subsolar region. The subsolar buoyancy period at 400 km altitude was approximately 16 min. Gravity waves with frequencies lower t...

Celland packet-oriented broadband telecommunication networks such as Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) differ substantially from weIl known telephony networks. The data rates in the synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) are much higher than in the plesiochronous hierarchy (PDH), and with the rise of new applications and access technologies the traffic profiles have changed. Furthermore, the intell...

‎in this work we introduce and study discrete time periodically correlated stable‎ ‎processes and multivariate stationary stable processes related to periodic and cyclic‎ ‎flows‎. ‎our study involves producing a spectral representation and a‎ ‎spectral identification for such processes‎. ‎we show that the third‎ ‎component of a periodically correlated stable process has a component related to a...
