We study Lorentzian D-particles in linear dilaton and the two dimensional black hole backgrounds. The D-particle trajectory follows an accelerated trajectory which is smeared by stringy corrections. For the black hole background we find that the portion of the trajectory behind the horizon appears to an asymptotic observer as ghost D-particle. This suggests a way of constructing a matrix model ...

The motion of an active (self-propelling) particle with a permanent magnetic moment under the action of a rotating magnetic field is considered. We show that below a critical frequency of the external field the trajectory of a particle is a circle. For frequencies slightly above the critical point the particle moves on an approximately circular trajectory and from time to time jumps to another ...

Two important topics in Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) research filed are trajectory analysis of particles and parameter selection method. Trajectory analysis is important because it can help to determine where the position of each particle is at each evolutionary step, and consequently it can help to clarify the running mechanism of PSO algorithm, so as to explain why and when PSO algorithm...

Particle filtering is being investigated extensively due to its important feature of target tracking based on nonlinear and non-Gaussian model. It tracks a trajectory with a known model at a given time. It means that particle filter tracks an arbitrary trajectory only if the time instant when a trajectory switches from one model to another model is known apriori. Because of this reason particle...

Based on the coupling between the spin of a particle and gravitoelectromagnetic field, the equation of motion of a spinning test particle in gravitational field is deduced. From this equation of motion, it is found that the motion of a spinning particle deviates from the geodesic trajectory, and this deviation originates from the coupling between the spin of the particle and gravitoelectromagne...

the dogleg severity is one of the most important parameters in directional drilling. improvement of these indicators actually means choosing the best conditions for the directional drilling in order to reach the target point. selection of high levels of the dogleg severity actually means minimizing well trajectory, but on the other hand, increases fatigue in drill string, increases torque and d...

We experimentally demonstrate the fluctuation theorem, which predicts appreciable and measurable violations of the second law of thermodynamics for small systems over short time scales, by following the trajectory of a colloidal particle captured in an optical trap that is translated relative to surrounding water molecules. From each particle trajectory, we calculate the entropy production/cons...

For any trajectory of a particle in a crystal a time-reversed trajectory is possible. The starting point of a trajectory becomes the final one, and vice versa. This leads to the idea of reversibility of the dechanneling processes [1]. In the depth of a crystal, besides the particles leaving the channeling mode (dechanneling or feeding out), there may be particles entering the channeling mode (r...
