We investigate the relationship between mass and spin of quark anti-quark bound state in non-commutative gauge theory with N = 4 supersymmetry. In the large N and large ’t Hooft coupling limit, these bound states correspond to rotating open strings ending on a D-brane embedded into the supergravity background dual of the non-commutative field theory. Although the physical configuration of the o...

Using the operational framework of completely positive, trace preserving operations and thermodynamic fluctuation relations, we derive a lower bound for the heat exchange in a Landauer erasure process on a quantum system. Our bound comes from a nonphenomenological derivation of the Landauer principle which holds for generic nonequilibrium dynamics. Furthermore, the bound depends on the nonunita...

Channel routing plays a central role in the physical design of VLSI chips. For two-layer dogleg-free channel routing, dm,, and v,, are the two traditional lower bounds. In this paper, we present two efficient algorithms for computing a tighter lower bound for the channel routing problem. Our algorithms succe:j~fully compute a lower bound of 26 for Deutsch's Difficult Example (DDE). The experime...

Using a formulation of quantum mechanics based on orthogonal polynomials in the energy and physical parameters, we study systems totally confined space associated with discrete Meixner polynomials. We present several examples such systems, derive their corresponding potential functions, plot some bound states.

Optimal linear codes and constant-weight codes play very important roles in coding theory and have attached a lot of attention. In this paper, we mainly present some optimal linear codes and some optimal constant-weight codes derived from the linear codes. Firstly, we give a construction of linear codes from trace and norm functions. In some cases, its weight distribution is completely determin...

This paper considers the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem, that is, the problem of scheduling several products on a single facility so as to minimize holding and setup costs. Combination of frequency and timing as well as production quantity make this problem Np-hard. A heuristic is developed to obtain a good solution to ELSP. The proposed heuristic makes use of the Simulated Annealing Technique...

In this study, the interaction between the silica filler and polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) was investigated from the aspects of the bound rubber and morphological characterization. With special attention to the dynamic properties, the dynamic test was conducted by dynamic shear rheometer. The results show that the modified fillers disperse uniformly within PDMS matrix without aggregation and con...

In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the extrusion process of bimetallic rods through arbitrarily curved dies. Based on a spherical velocity field, internal, shearing and frictional power terms are calculated. The developed upper bound solution is used for calculating the extrusion force for two types of die shapes: a conical die as a linear die profile and a streamlined di...

In this paper, we derive a capacity inner bound for a synchronous Gaussian Z channel with intersymbol interference (ISI) under input power constraints. This is done by converting the original channel model into an n-block memoryless circular Gaussian Z channel (n-CGZC) and successively decomposing the n-block memoryless channel into a series of independent parallel channels in the frequency dom...

In this paper, a new method for developing a lower bound on exact completion time distribution function of stochastic PERT networks is provided that is based on simplifying the structure of this type of network. The designed mechanism simplifies network structure by arc duplication so that network distribution function can be calculated only with convolution and multiplication. The selection of...
