Painlevé-Gullstrand metric of the black hole allows to discuss the fermion zero modes inside the hole. The statistical mechanics of the fermionic microstates can be responsible for the black hole thermo-dynamics. These fermion zero modes also lead to quantization of the horizon area.

mechanical stress and maximum superconducting current have been calculated for a superconductor subjected to uniform plastic deformation. The training effect due to strain hardening o f the material is discussed. These results are compared with an analogous case when the normal transition is caused by the thermo-magnetomechanical instability. The quenching current is shown to depend on the hist...

This paper studies the stability of the coalition government formed in 1993 in Japan, called the Hosokawa government, by using a dynamic coalition formation model presented in Fukuda and Muto [2]. Ono and Muto [6] studied the stability of the same coalition government by applying the static coalition formation model of Hart and Kurz [4], which employed Owen’s [7] coalition value to measure part...

Metadata manipulation attacks represent a new threat class directed against Version Control Systems, such as the popular Git. This type of attack provides inconsistent views of a repository state to different developers, and deceives them into performing unintended operations with often negative consequences. These include omitting security patches, merging untested code into a production branc...

A series of heteroleptic strontium complexes (1-9) using a combination of different aminoalkoxides and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate (tmhd) were prepared to examine the effect of the bulkiness and coordination ability of the aminoalkoxide ligand in these complexes as well as potential strontium precursors. All complexes were characterized by FT-IR, FT-NMR, elemental analyses, and therm...

A general framework for the thermodynamics of open systems is presented. The theory is fundamentally based on the generalized balance of mass, which is enhanced by additional surface-°ux and volume-source terms. The presentation highlights the in°uence of the enhanced mass balance on the remaining balance equations. To clarify the impact of the variable reference density, we introduce the notio...

Fractional calculus has been proved to be very effective in representing the visco-elastic relaxation response of materials with memory such as polymers. Moreover, modeling temperature dependency material functions thermo-visco-elasticity, standard time–temperature superposition principle is known ineffective most cases (thermo-rheological complexity). In this work, a novel finite element formu...

Experimental and modeled dependencies of the induced refractive index on dosage of UV exposure in photo-thermo-refractive glass for different thermal treatment regimes are presented. Resulting spatial profiles of refractive index modulation in a reflecting Bragg grating recorded by a holographic technique are computed, and corresponding diffraction efficiencies are modeled. It is shown that non...

This paper provides a comprehensive discussion on patch schedules. This discussion occurs over two parts. The first analyses existing implementations of patch schedules with a focus on Microsoft’s monthly patch schedule. The arguments for patch schedules, namely increased patch quality and better planning within organisations are analysed and the impact of the type of disclosure investigated. I...

Poor bioavailability of ophthalmic drops is mainly due to drainage through the nasal-lacrimal duct and a very low permeability through corneal epithelium. The aim of our study was to prepare and characterize an ocular hydrogel of loratadine, as an example of a lipophilic drug, to increase drug concentration and residence time at the site of action in the eye. In this study,a 23full factorial de...
