The plus construction, Postnikov towers and universal central module extensions

Given a connected spaceX, we consider the effect of Quillen’s plus construction on the homotopy groups ofX in terms of its Postnikov decomposition. Specifically, using universal properties of the fibration sequenceAX→X→X ⁺, we explain the contribution of π _n X to π _n X ⁺, π _n+1 X ⁺ and π _n AX, π _n+1 AX explicitly in terms of the low dimensional homology of π _n X regarded as a module over π₁ X. Key ingredients developed here for this purpose are universal II-central fibrations and a theory of universal central extensions of modules, analogous to universal central extensions of perfect groups.

Decay of neutron-rich Ga isotopes near N = 50 at PARRNe

The PARRNe facility has been used to produce neutron-rich isotopes ^83,84Gaby the ISOL method. Their decay has been studied, and β-γ coincidence and γ-γ coincidence data were collected as a function of time. The first two excited levels in ⁸³Ge and the first excited level in ⁸⁴Ge have been measured for the first time.     

On weak spreadability of distributed-parameter systems and its achievement via linear--quadratic control techniques

In this paper, the concept of weak spreadability is introduced.It constitutes an extension of the idea developed by El Jai& Kassara. In the case of linear distributed systems weconsider quadratic control techniques with a conveniently penalizedcriterion which makes the system weakly spreadable. The approachis outlined for a convection—diffusion system, and theresults of a numerical study are also included to illustratethe main features of the considered problem.     

The spin-S Blume-Capel RG flow diagram

Using the finite-size scaling renormalization group, we obtain the two-dimensional flow diagram of the Blume-Capel model forS=1 andS=3/2. In the first case our results are similar to those of mean-field theory, which predicts the existence of first- and second-order transitions with a tricritical point. In the second case, however, our results are different. While we obtain in theS=1 case a phase diagram presenting a multicritical point, the mean-field approach predicts only a second-order transition and a critical endpoint.     

Measurement of the K α to L α and K β to L β intensity ratios of seven elements in the atomic number range 52≤ Z ≤62 using photoionization at 59.5 keV1

The Kα to Lα and Kβ to Lβ intensity ratios of seven elements have been measured following photoionization at 59.5 keV by using a Si (Li) detector (FWHM=155 eV at 5.96 keV). The intensity ratios were determined by measuring K and L x-rays emitted from a standard target of a given element. The theoretical values of the Kα to Lα and Kβ to Lβ intensity ratios were calculated using theoretically tabulated values of shell/subshell photoionization cross sections, fluorescence yields, Coster-Kronig transition probabilities, and radiative decay rates for ηKLi≠ and ηKLi=0. The measured values are in good agreement with theoretical results. From Optika i Spektroskopiya, Vol. 97, No. 2, 2004, pp. 186–189. Original English Text Copyright ? 2004 by A. Kü?ük?nder, S?ğüt, E.

Du discret au continu pour des modèles de réseaux aléatoires d'atomes

We study in this Note the continuum (macroscopic) limit for some atomistic models for crystals. The purpose is to derive densities of mechanical energies from microscopic models. In contrast to the setting of a previous study, where the microscopic structure was assumed to be periodic, it is modelled here by a stochastic lattice, which enjoys some stationarity and ergodicity properties, following notions previously introduced elsewhere.

Computation of Autocorrelations of Interdeparture Times by Numerical Transform Inversion

The generating function of the autocorrelations of the interdeparture times in stationary M/G/1 and GI/M/1 systems involves the probability generating function of the number of customers served in a busy period. The latter function is implicitly determined as a solution to a functional equation. Standard methods for the numerical inversion of generating functions require the values of these functions at many complex arguments. A recently discovered substitution method for contour integrals allows the numerical inversion of implicitly determined generating functions without the numerical solution of the functional equations.     

复制受限的环境演算中模态逻辑的内涵性

环境演算(MA)的模态逻辑AL进行了研究．在考虑了复制操作和限制操作的情况下，提出了逻辑等价的协归纳操作描述，并利用协归纳关系与进程结构同余关系进行比较，证明了若对MA加上约束条件得到子集MAIF^syn，此时逻辑等价(=L)与结构同余关系是等价的，即AL在MAIF^syn中是内涵的．同时发现由于复制操作的存在，AL的内涵性受到了影响，使得AL的区分能力被削弱，但通过对复制公式的构造验证了AL的表达能力．     

多元χ演算运行时错误的不可判定性

针对多元χ演算运行时刻通信安全的判定性问题进行了研究．通过从Lazyλ项到χ项的编码，将判定一个Lazyλ项是否有范式的问题归约为进程是否有通信错误的问题．证明了在多元χ演算中，通讯错误也是不可判定的．结论说明不存在算法直接来检测进程的通信安全性，而只有通过其他间接的手段(如构造类型系统)才能部分达到预防运行时错误的目的．
