Investigation of the problem of singularities in general relativity

Recently Addy and Datta have obtained a linearized solution for isentropic motions of a perfect fluid by assigning Cauchy data on the hypersurfacex ⁴=0 and by imposing a restriction on the equation of state. In the present paper we pursue this study and discuss the problem of singularities from the standpoint of a local observer for which a singularity is defined as a state with an infinite proper rest mass density. It is shown that for a closed universe with any distribution of matter whatsoever there occurred a singularity in the past in the nonrotating parts of the universe and it must recur in the future. Furthermore, the collapse of a rotating fluid to a singularity seems inevitable when the relativistic equation of state is considered.     

A class of exact solutions for doubly anharmonic oscillators

The solution of a difference equation in the form of an infinite continued fraction is used to obtain a class of exact solutions for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of doubly anharmonic oscillators described by potentials of the type (1/2)²x²+(1/4)x⁴+(1/6)x⁶, n>0, provided certain constraints on the couplings are satisfied. The class is denumerably infinite but not complete.

Modes of vibrations due to (U-center + additive anion impurities) in KC1—II

Defect modes due to U-centers in potassium chloride containing additive anion impurities have been computed by Green's functions techniques. Local vibrations due to U-centers in alkali halides have cubic symmetry, but when one of the twelve nearest neighbour anions is replaced by an additive impurity, the site symmetry of the system reduces from O_h to C_2v and gives rise to new vibrational modes. The phonon Green's functions have been analysed according to the irreducible representation of the point group symmetry, pertaining to the substitutional impurity. We have considered the vibrations of the U-center, additive anion impurity and their nearest neighbours i.e. 36-dimensional defect space. Using group theory, symmetry coordinates were constructed and the 36 x 36 dimensional matrix was block diagonalised into various irreducible representations. The computed local mode frequencies have been conpared with the experimental measurements. Reasonably good agreement is found between them. The computed results for resonant mode frequencies are also displayed.

An Adaptive Rank Aggregation-Based Ensemble Multi-Filter Feature Selection Method in Software Defect Prediction

Feature selection is known to be an applicable solution to address the problem of high dimensionality in software defect prediction (SDP). However, choosing an appropriate filter feature selection (FFS) method that will generate and guarantee optimal features in SDP is an open research issue, known as the filter rank selection problem. As a solution, the combination of multiple filter methods can alleviate the filter rank selection problem. In this study, a novel adaptive rank aggregation-based ensemble multi-filter feature selection (AREMFFS) method is proposed to resolve high dimensionality and filter rank selection problems in SDP. Specifically, the proposed AREMFFS method is based on assessing and combining the strengths of individual FFS methods by aggregating multiple rank lists in the generation and subsequent selection of top-ranked features to be used in the SDP process. The efficacy of the proposed AREMFFS method is evaluated with decision tree (DT) and naïve Bayes (NB) models on defect datasets from different repositories with diverse defect granularities. Findings from the experimental results indicated the superiority of AREMFFS over other baseline FFS methods that were evaluated, existing rank aggregation based multi-filter FS methods, and variants of AREMFFS as developed in this study. That is, the proposed AREMFFS method not only had a superior effect on prediction performances of SDP models but also outperformed baseline FS methods and existing rank aggregation based multi-filter FS methods. Therefore, this study recommends the combination of multiple FFS methods to utilize the strength of respective FFS methods and take advantage of filter–filter relationships in selecting optimal features for SDP processes.     

A microfocus X‐ray fluorescence beamline at Indus‐2 synchrotron radiation facility

A microfocus X‐ray fluorescence spectroscopy beamline (BL‐16) at the Indian synchrotron radiation facility Indus‐2 has been constructed with an experimental emphasis on environmental, archaeological, biomedical and material science applications involving heavy metal speciation and their localization. The beamline offers a combination of different analytical probes, e.g. X‐ray fluorescence mapping, X‐ray microspectroscopy and total‐external‐reflection fluorescence characterization. The beamline is installed on a bending‐magnet source with a working X‐ray energy range of 4–20 keV, enabling it to excite K‐edges of all elements from S to Nb and L‐edges from Ag to U. The optics of the beamline comprises of a double‐crystal monochromator with Si(111) symmetric and asymmetric crystals and a pair of Kirkpatrick–Baez focusing mirrors. This paper describes the performance of the beamline and its capabilities with examples of measured results.     

Computational studies on the thermal decomposition of the CH2FOCHFO radical

Theoretical studies have been carried out on the kinetics and thermochemistry of the thermal decomposition of the CH₂FOCHFO radical formed during the photo-oxidation of CH₂FOCH₂F (HFE-152E) using the dual-level method of obtaining the optimised structure at DFT(M06-2X)/6-311++G(d,p) followed by a single-point energy calculation at the G3 level of theory. The rate constant for different reaction channels involved during the decomposition processes of CH₂FOCHFO is evaluated at 298 K and 1 atm using canonical transition-state theory. The results point out that the C–H bond scission is the dominant path involving an energy barrier of 9.5 kcal mol^?1 determined at the G3 level of theory. A potential energy diagram is constructed and the results are compared with the data available from the literature for a structurally similar molecule.
