If Bekenstein's conjectured bound on the microcanonical entropy, S ≤ 2πER, is applied to a closed subsystem of maximal linear size R and excitation energy up through E, it can be violated by an arbitrarily large factor by a scalar field having a symmetric potential allowing domain walls, and by the electromagnetic field modes in a coaxial cable.

We study extensions of the Standard Model where the charged current weak interactions are governed by the CKM matrix and where all tree-level decays are dominated by their Standard Model contribution. We constrain both analytically and numerically the ratio and the phase difference between the New Physics and the Standard Model contributions to the mixing amplitude of the neutral B system using...

We consider a queuing network with M exponential service stations and with N customers. We study the behavior of a subsystem u, which has a single node as input and a single node as output, when the subsystem parameters are varied. An “equivalent” network is constructed in which all queues except those in subsystem u are replaced by a single composite queue. We show that for certain classes of ...

Procurement of high value defence assets, such as ships, submarines and aircraft requires rigorous analysis to ensure the system procured will perform as required in the operation. To achieve this, system and subsystem modelling can be conducted to determine how the subsystem choices affect the whole system performance. This should be linked to a capability analysis to relate the subsystem perf...

We show how to construct quantum stabilizer and subsystem codes from algebro-geometric toric codes extending the known construction of subsystem codes from cyclic codes and extending the construction of stabilizer codes from toric codes in an earlier work by one of the authors. Since algebrogeometric toric codes are higher dimensional extensions of cyclic codes, we obtain this way a new and ric...

This paper designed decision support system for mechanical conservation tillage, which includes three subsystems, such as subsystem of development potential estimation, subsystem of optimum model or suitable models selection, and subsystem of economy benefit estimation. In different area, it is necessary to alter, increase or decrease some evaluation index to accommodate the agricultural produc...

A subsystem for text-to-speech (TTS) conversion for Macedonian language as a part of a system for support of humans with damaged sight will be presented in this paper. The whole system includes recognition of printed Cyrillic text, archiving, TTS conversion and printing on a Braille printer. A subsystem for real-time TTS conversion from unrestricted text is under development. The whole architec...
