Algebraic models defined over Q of differential manifolds

Here we prove that every compact differential manifold has a smooth algebraic model defined over Q. In dimension 2 we find an algebraic model (may be singular) defined over Q and birational over Q to the projective plane.     

Caratheodory interpolation kernels

Kernels over the unit disk for which a version of Carathéodory interpolation is true are characterized in a simple computationally verifiable manner.     

A multiple character sum and a multipleL-function

In this paper we introduce a certain sum by using Dirichlet characters. We investigate the Riesz mean of the sum using the analytic properties of the MultipleL-function systematically. Eine überarbeitete Fassung ging am 6. 8. 2001 ein     

Willis环状脑动脉瘤系统的自适应模糊控制

针对不确定非线性生物系统—W illis环状脑动脉瘤系统,利用高斯型模糊逻辑系统的逼近能力及新构造的Lyapunov函数,基于模糊建模提出了一种自适应模糊控制器设计的新方案.该方案把逼近误差引入到控制器设计条件中用以改善系统的动态性能.不但设计简单还保证了控制方法的鲁棒性与稳定性.通过反向传播算法调整模糊基函数参数及递归最小二乘法调整参数向量,θ更新控制律,实现了理想跟踪.从理论上研究了脑动脉瘤内血流速度的非线性行为及控制,具有实际意义.仿真结果表明该控制方法的有效性.     

Corrections of proofs for Hansen and Mélot's two theorems

The Randi? index R(G) of a (chemical) graph G is also called connectivity index. Hansen and Mélot [Variable neighborhood search for extremal graphs 6: analyzing bounds for the connectivity index, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 43 (2003) 1-14] in their paper, characterized the chemical trees of given order and number of pendent vertices which have the minimum and maximum Randi? index, respectively. In this note, we point out the mistakes in the proofs of their results Theorems 8 and 10, while we still believe that the two theorems are true, and then we give their corrected proofs.     

Experience Gained Using Second-Moment Closure Modeling for Transitional Flows Due to Boundary Layer Separation

This paper presents detailed information on the experience gained during the attempts to model a set of transitional flows due to boundary layer separation. These flows are developed on a flat plate with a semi-circular leading edge and they have been coded by the ERCOFTAC Special Interest Group on Transition, as T3L flows. Different freestream velocities and turbulence intensities configure these transitional flows and, by consequence, govern the transition mechanism, resulting in larger or smaller transitional regions. The modeling of the T3L flows has been performed by adopting a low-Reynolds number second-moment closure turbulence model. The results showed satisfactory agreement with the experimental measurements, although some difficulties regarding successful convergence have been faced. The final conclusion is that turbulence modeling can present quite accurate results for transitional flows without any additional use of ad-hoc modifications or additional equations based on various transition models and intermittency transport modeling.     

Existence of 3D-Vortices in Abelian Gauge Theories

We consider the Abelian gauge theory related to the interaction between the solitary waves of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation and the electromagnetic field. We analyze the existence of electromagnetostatic solutions and, in particular, of vortices. Dedicated to the memory of Professor Aldo Cossu     

3D molecular imaging SIMS

Thin monolayer and bilayer films of spin cast poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), poly(lactic) acid (PLA) and PLA doped with several pharmaceuticals have been analyzed by dynamic SIMS using SF₅⁺ polyatomic primary ion bombardment. Each of these systems exhibited minimal primary beam-induced degradation under cluster ion bombardment allowing molecular depth profiles to be obtained through the film. By combing secondary ion imaging with depth profiling, three-dimensional molecular image depth profiles have been obtained from these systems. In another approach, bevel cross-sections are cut in the samples with the SF₅⁺ primary ion beam to produce a laterally magnified cross-section of the sample that does not contain the beam-induced damage that would be induced by conventional focussed ion beam (FIB) cross-sectioning. The bevel surface can then be examined using cluster SIMS imaging or other appropriate microanalysis technique.     

Linear dependence of stationary distributions in ergodic Markov decision processes

In ergodic MDPs we consider stationary distributions of policies that coincide in all but n states, in which one of two possible actions is chosen. We give conditions and formulas for linear dependence of the stationary distributions of n+2 such policies, and show some results about combinations and mixtures of policies.     

Steady state analysis of an M/G/1 queue with two phase service and Bernoulli vacation schedule under multiple vacation policy

This paper examines the steady state behaviour of a batch arrival queue with two phases of heterogeneous service along and Bernoulli schedule vacation under multiple vacation policy, where after two successive phases service or first vacation the server may go for further vacations until it finds a new batch of customer in the system. We carry out an extensive stationary analysis of the system, including existence of stationary regime, queue size distribution of idle period process, embedded Markov chain steady state distribution of stationary queue size, busy period distribution along with some system characteristics.
