Comparing ordered-entry queues with heterogeneous servers

We study a queueing system withm exponential servers with distinct service rates. Jobs arrive at the system following an arbitrary point process. Arrived jobs receive service at the first unoccupied server (if any) according to an entry order , which is a permutation of the integers 1, 2,...,m. The system has a finite buffer capacity. When the buffer limit is reached, arrivals will be blocked. Blocked jobs will either be lost or come back as New arrivals after a random travel time. We are concerned with the dynamic stochastic behavior of the system under different entry orders. A partial ordering is established among entry orders, and is shown to result in some quite strong orderings among the associated stochastic processes that reflect the congestion and the service characteristics of the system. The results developed here complement existing comparison results for queues with homogeneous servers, and can be applied to aid the design of conveyor and communication systems.     

Interface sharpness in the Ising model with long-range interaction

For the 3-dimensional Ising model with long-range interaction, Gibbs states are constructed that are small perturbations of non-translation-invariant ground states. These ground states are in one-to-one correspondence with the set of all rational planes.     

Asymptotic properties of multistate random walks. I. Theory

A calculation is presented of the long-time behavior of various random walk properties (moments, probability of return to the origin, expected number of distinct sites visited) formultistate random walks on periodic lattices. In particular, we consider inhomogeneous periodic lattices, consisting of a periodically repeated unit cell which contains a finite number of internal states (sites). The results are identical to those for perfect lattices except for a renormalization of coefficients. For walks without drift, it is found that all the asymptotic random walk properties are determined by the diffusion coefficients for the multistate random walk. The diffusion coefficients can be obtained by a simple matrix algorithm presented here. Both discrete and continuous time random walks are considered. The results are not restricted to nearest-neighbor random walks but apply as long as the single-step probability distributions associated with each of the internal states have finite means and variances.     

外力诱导下的高分子链相变

采用nPERMis(new pruned-enriched rosenbluth method with importance sampling)算法,研究了吸附在表面的高分子链在外力诱导下的相变行为.以链长N=60的高分子链为例,在外力的作用下相变临界温度比没有外力作用的相变临界温度要低,并随外力的增大相变临界温度降低,但比热容峰值会增大.当外力f=1.0或者1.5时,在高温区域高分子链形状发生较大变化,但在低温区由于高分子链内部相互作用和界面的吸附作用,高分子链随温度的降低塌缩成与没有外力作用相同的构象.对于不同的链长,在同一外力的作用下,相变临界温度随链长增大而增大,且比热峰值也增大.     

Radiative frequency shift without ultraviolet divergency in a two-level hydrogenic atom

Summary By taking into account the retardation effects a finite result for the frequency shift of the Lyman α-radiation from a two-level hydrogenic atom is obtained. This result shows a nonnegligible correction as compared to previous results obtained in the dipole approximation with a cut-off frequency.     

4种等温物态方程适用性的比较研究

 通过分析现有文献,认为4种两参数的物态方程在高压物理研究中较为流行,它们是Vinet、Baonza、Morse和Born-Meyer（BM）方程。将这4种方程用于拟合50种材料的实验压缩数据,得出了零压下压缩模量及其一阶压力导数的优化取值,并计算了4种方程的平均压力误差。结果表明,Morse方程的精度最高,对50种材料的平均拟合误差为0.557 6%;BM方程次之,平均误差为0.615 1%;Vinet和Baonza方程的误差大一些,分别为0.788 9%和0.833 3%。对8种典型材料计算了压力误差随压强变化的曲线,所得结果与平均误差的趋势一致,也是Morse方程的精度最高。在宽广压力范围的高压物态方程研究中,推荐使用Morse方程。     

湿空气扩散燃烧火焰结构特性研究

利用二维粒子成像速度仪(PIV)对钝体燃烧器中的甲烷／湿空气扩散燃烧的速度场进行测量,考察其火焰的结构特性及其内部流动状况。通过对湿空气燃烧流场与普通燃烧流场的对比分析表明,湿空气燃烧情况下,两种燃烧状态的火焰(回流燃烧火焰和中心射流主导火焰)相互转换的燃空速度比(γ)值要比普通燃烧的小;湿空气燃烧使得喷嘴后的同流空气的速度降低,空气的回流作用减弱,燃料更容易冲出回流区,火焰的稳定性能变差。     

Spiral tip meandering induced by excitability modulation

In this work, we introduce a spatiotemporal modulation for excitability into an excitable medium, the Barkley model. The modulation can make the spiral wave tip meandering. Various types of periodic spiral and quasiperiodic meandering spiral motions can be observed numerically by varying the modulation. And the theoretical analysis for the conditions of Hopf bifurcation, based on an ordinary-differential-equation (ODE) model, is applied to well explain the rich behaviors of numerical simulations.     

非规则封闭空间声场建模的Chebyshev-变分法及其固有声学特性分析

针对非规则封闭空间声场建模问题,提出了一种基于Chebyshev-变分原理的声场建模方法。该方法首先选取包络非规则声场的矩形空间并将此矩形空间内的声压函数展开成三重Chebyshev级数形式,然后通过坐标变换得到定义域空间中的声场势能和声场动能,最后按照里茨方法对声场的拉格朗日泛函进行求解,得到声场的特征方程并求得声场固有频率和模态。通过与曲面声场的数值结果对比,验证了本建模方法的正确性和有效性。在此基础上研究具有不同倾角的梯形声场固有特性,分析内部凹槽深度对\     

Derivation of muon spectrum at high energies from the recent JACEE primary cosmic-ray spectrum using Fermilab data on meson production

Summary The energy spectrum of sea level muons in the range (10²÷10⁴) GeV has been calculated from the latest directly measured JACEE primary spectrum using Fermilab results on pp→π^± X and pp→K^± X inclusive reactions. The conventional pion atmospheric diffusion equation after Bugaevet al. has been used in this analysis to account the flux of muons emerged from the multiple generation of mesons in air. The derived muon spectrum has been compared with the earlier magnetic spectrograph data of Durham and Kiel groups. The latest BAKSAN scintillator telescope data is well in agreement with the calculated integral spectrum originated from the meson decays in the range (1÷10⁴) GeV.
