On the Moments of Overflow and Freed Carried Traffic for the GI/M/C/0 System

In circuit-switched networks call streams are characterized by their mean and peakedness (two-moment method). The GI/M/C/0 system is used to model a single link, where the GI-stream is determined by fitting moments appropriately. For the moments of the overflow traffic of a GI/M/C/0 system there are efficient numerical algorithms available. However, for the moments of the freed carried traffic, defined as the moments of a virtual link of infinite capacity to which the process of calls accepted by the link (carried arrival process) is virtually directed and where the virtual calls get fresh exponential i.i.d. holding times, only complex numerical algorithms are available. This is the reason why the concept of the freed carried traffic is not used. The main result of this paper is a numerically stable and efficient algorithm for computing the moments of freed carried traffic, in particular an explicit formula for its peakedness. This result offers a unified handling of both overflow and carried traffics in networks. Furthermore, some refined characteristics for the overflow and freed carried streams are derived.     

Development in Synthesis,Electrochemistry, LB Moieties of Phenothiazine Based Units

A convenient and higher yielding synthetic route to N‐alkyl‐bis(thiophene)phenothiazine derivatives is reported and their aggregation, electrochemical properties and polymerization are characterized. The key step in the synthesis of this group of compounds has been the Stille type coupling reaction between the N‐alkyldibromophenothiazine and tin derivatives of thiophene as the best way for preparation of conjugated N‐alkylphenothiazine derivatives. For this group of compounds we also present an electrochemical polymerization effect and widely adopted approach to prepare structurally ordered thin, electroconducting films by Langmuir–Blodgett technique.

Exact and approximate results for the Anderson impurity model

This paper provides exact and rigorous upper and lower bounds to the ground state energy of the Single Impurity Anderson Model in the limit of infiniteU. The upper bound approximates the ground state energy very well and the corresponding state may be used as a starting point for further investigations. The energy spectrum of the Single Impurity Anderson Model is calculated exactly for a special non-trivial model density of states describing the bare band electrons. All approaches introduced here are compared to this exact result and to other ground state energy calculations.     

Thermal transformations of selected transition metals oxyhydroxides

We investigated the features of the glass transition relaxation of two room temperature ionic liquids using DSC. An important observation was that the heat capacity jump, that is the signature of the glass transition relaxation, shows a particularly strong value in this type of new and promising materials, candidates for a range of applications. This suggests a high degree of molecular mobility in the supercooled liquid state. The study of the influence of the heating rate on the temperature location of the glass transition signal, allowed the determination of the activation energy at the glass transition temperature, and the calculation of the fragility index of these two ionic glass-formers. It was concluded that this kind of materials belong to the class of relatively strong glass-forming systems. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Weak boson plus jet production in 2nd-order QCD

We calculate cross sections for the production ofW ⁺ andZ bosons in association with 1 and 2 jets at \(p\bar p\) collider energies. The expected rates for these processes in second-order QCD are presented as a function of the cuts on the transverse momenta of the jets and are compared with jet rates measured by UA1.     

Investigation of the character of the exchange interaction in the system Hg1−xMnxSe

A new method is proposed for determining the magnetic characteristics (magnitude and sign of the exchange interaction energy and the average size of clusters of magnetic ions) of dilute solid solutions of semimagnetic semiconductors at low temperatures based on oscillation measurements. The method makes it possible to find the magnetic characteristics of the indicated systems at temperatures between the point of the transition into the spin glass state and the temperature corresponding to the characteristic binding energy of magnetic atoms in clusters, for which standard methods based on the measurement of the magnetic susceptibility are not effective. The method is used to study the character of the exchange interaction in the system of solid solutions Hg_1–xMn_xSe as a function of their composition as well as under conditions of hydrostatic compression. To this end the oscillations of the magnetoresistance (Shubnikov-de Haas (SH) effect) in single-crystalline samples of Hg_1–xMn_xSe in the region of compositions 0.001 x 0.23 in magnetic fields H up to 65 kOe at temperatures T = (0.4–20) K and pressures up to 16 kbar were studied.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 11, pp. 29–39, November, 1989.
