Most scenarios for accelerating muons require recirculating acceleration. A racetrack shape for the accelerator requires particles with lower energy in early passes to traverse almost the same length of arc as particles with the highest energy. This extra arc length may lead to excess decays and excess cost. Changing the geometry to a “dogbone” shape, where there is a single linac and the beam ...

We propose to describe the variety of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) by using only one affine parameter. To this aim, we construct the Principal Curve (P-curve) passing through the spine of the data point cloud, considering the eigenspace derived from Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of morphological, physical and photometric galaxy properties. Thus, galaxies can be labeled...

We study the codimension-one and -two bifurcations of the Ornstein–Zernike equation with hypernetted chain (HNC) closure with Lennard–Jones intermolecular interaction potential. The main purpose of the paper is to present the results of a numerical study undertaken using a suite of algorithms implemented in MATLAB and based on pseudo arc-length continuation for the codimension-one case and a Ne...

Chen, D., CC. Lindner and D.R. Stinson, Further results on large sets of disjoint group-divisible designs, Discrete Mathematics 110 (1992) 35-42. This paper is a continuation of a recent paper by Chen and Stinson, where some recursive constructions for large sets of group-divisible design with block size 3 arc presented. In this paper, we give two new recursive constructions. In particular, we ...

In this paper, stability and internal dynamics for a gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process will be studied. GMAW process is considered as a nonlinear MIMO system and input-output feedback linearization method will be applied for control purposes. Internal dynamics is the unobservable part of the system dynamics; its stability analysis is a vital step in the investigation of the system stability ...

In this study, a hybrid method is proposed to investigate the nonlinear vibrations of pre- and post-buckled rectangular plates for the first time. This is an answer to an existing need to develope a fast and precise numerical model which can handle the nonlinear vibrations of buckled plates under different boundary conditions and plate shapes. The method uses the differential quadrature element...
