The critical properties for the transition to warm, asymmetric, non-homogeneous nuclear matter are analysed within a thermodynamical spinodal approach set of well calibrated equations state. It is shown that even though different state constrained by same experimental, theoretical and observational data, symmetric similar models, very asymmetric matter, such as one found inside neutron stars, d...

Thermal processing of conduction-heated canned foods is modelled using three approaches: (A) homogeneous isotropic, (B) homogeneous anisotropic and (C) nonhomogeneous anisotropic systems. Based on these models, numerical simulations are performed, using finite differences and finite elements methods. The simulation results are validated with experimental data obtained from the sterilization of ...

We consider a class of spacetimes for which the essential part of Einstein’s equations can be written as a wave map equation. The domain is not the standard one, but the target is hyperbolic space. One ends up with a 1+1 non-linear wave equation, where the space variable belongs to the circle and the time variable belongs to the positive real numbers. The main objective of this paper is to anal...

The 'non-sensory' feelings of familiarity, rightness and tip-of-the-tongue postulated in the target article all find a natural explanation within existing models, including Gray's (1995) comparator model, of the way in which top-down and bottom-up processing interact to select the contents of consciousness. 1. No Qualia -No Problem Much current research aims to increase the precision with which...
