Abstract. The Maxwell-Boltzmannian approach to nuclear reaction rate theory is extended to cover Tsallis statistics (Tsallis, 1988) and more general cases of distribution functions. An analytical study of respective thermonuclear functions is being conducted with the help of statistical techniques. The pathway model, recently introduced by Mathai (2005), is utilized for thermonuclear functions ...

We introduce logarithmic generalized Maxwell distribution motivated by Vodă (Math. Rep. 11:171-179, 2009), which is an extension of the generalized Maxwell distribution. Some interesting properties of this distribution are studied and the asymptotic distribution of the partial maximum of an i.i.d. sequence from the logarithmic generalized Maxwell distribution is gained. The expansion of the lim...

The Rayleigh-Stokes problem for a generalized Maxwell fluid in a porous half-space with a heated flat plate is investigated. For the description of such a viscoelastic fluid, a fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model is used. By using the Fourier sine transform and the fractional Laplace transform, exact solutions of the velocity and the temperature are obtained. Som...

Because of its kinetic nature and computational advantages, the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been well accepted as a useful tool to simulate micro-scale flows. The slip boundary model plays a crucial role in the accuracy of solutions for micro-channel flow simulations. The most used slip boundary condition is the Maxwell slip model. The results of Maxwell slip model are affected by the ac...

The Chevreton superenergy tensor was introduced in 1964 as a counterpart, for electromagnetic fields, of the well-known Bel-Robinson tensor of the gravitational field. We here prove the unnoticed facts that, in the absence of electromagnetic currents, Chevreton’s tensor (i) is completely symmetric, and (ii) has a trace-free divergence if Einstein-Maxwell equations hold. It follows that the trac...

Starting with the 2 + 1 Einstein–Maxwell–Dilaton system with a cosmological constant and assuming two commuting Killing symmetries we derive the corresponding 1 + 0 σ–model. It is shown that, for general values of the coupling parameters, the T –duality group is SL(2, R), which coincides with the group of linear coordinate transformations along the Killing orbits. This duality, along with a sui...

We study the symmetries of the two dimensional Heterotic string theory by following the approach of Kinnersley et al for the study of stationary axially-symmetric Einstein-Maxwell equations. We identify the finite dimensional symmetries which are the analogues of the groups G and H ′ for the Einstein-Maxwell equations. We also give the constructions for the infinite number of conserved currents...

In this article we consider an inverse boundary value problem for the timeharmonic Maxwell equations. We show that the electromagnetic material parameters are determined by boundary measurements where part of the boundary data is measured on a possibly very small set. This is an extension of earlier scalar results of BukhgeimUhlmann and Kenig-Sjöstrand-Uhlmann to the Maxwell system. The main co...

The Maxwell Centre, a health-based place of safety (POS) adjacent to a psychiatric hospital, was opened in Gloucestershire in February 2009. It provides a POS for people detained under Sections 135 and 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983 as amended in 2007. Prior to the opening of the Maxwell Centre, police cells were the only designated POSs. To assess the impact of the opening of this new facil...
