The aim of Foundation is to prove the necessity to create the software project documentation. This documentation is not only to contain the description of the desired final software product, but also the circumstantially spread over process of its development. In many cases (at least for the educational purposes) project documentation must be open. To support the Foundation web-site http://is.i...

Deog Ki Hong and Stephen D.H. Hsu 1 Department of Physics, Pusan National University, Pusan 609-735, Korea [email protected] 2 Department of Physics, University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403-5203 [email protected] (Dated: June 4, 2005) Abstract We elaborate on previous results concerning the positivity of the Euclidean path integral measure for low-energy modes in dense fermionic matter. We ...

I assume that you have some preknowledge in probability theory, but let us recapitulate the small subset of it which we will need for our purposes. We will employ very concrete probability theory (as opposed to abstract probability theory); we simply use it as a tool. When writing this I borrowed much from Chapter 8 in the book Concrete Mathematics, A Foundation for Computer Science by Ronald L...

QCD superconductors in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase support excitations (generalized mesons) that can be described as pairs of particles or holes (rather than particle-hole) around a gapped Fermi surface. In weak coupling and to leading logarithm accuracy the scalar and pseudoscalar excitations are massless and the vector and axial-vector excitations are massive and degenerate. The massl...

We perform a study of the possible existence of hybrid stars with color super-conducting quark cores using a specific hadronic model in a combination with an NJL-type quark model. It is shown that the constituent mass of the non-strange quarks in vacuum is a very important parameter that controls the beginning of the hadron-quark phase transition. At relatively small values of the mass, the fir...

PURPOSE To determine whether people with central field loss (CFL) from macular degeneration have improved ability to recognize a particularly difficult spatial configuration embedded in noise, the peripherally-viewed 'ladder contour'. The visibility of these configuration has been linked to general contour integration ability and crowding limitations in peripheral vision. METHODS We used a tr...

The color-flavor locked (CFL) phase of strangelets is investigated in a quark mass densitydependent model. Parameters are determined by stability arguments. It is concluded that three solutions to the system equations can be found, corresponding, respectively, to positively charged, negatively charged, and nearly neutral CFL strangelets. The charge to baryon number of the positively charged str...

The replacement of the disappearing incandescent lamps will be realized at a significant scale by compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Light regulation is a popular feature that is easily provided by incandescent lamps using a simple electronic equipment, the dimmer. Dimming can be achieved by (dimmable) CFL lamps as well, however this is done in a completely different way than in case of the form...

Quark matter at its highest densities; is expected to become a color superconductor and transition to a phase called color flavor locking (CFL)[1]. Because of asymptotic freedom, the theory becomes weaker at high densities [1] and some kind of superconductivity can be expected[2]. At the CFL phase it behaves as a superfluid[3]and has Chiral Symmetry breaking[1]. Possible observations or experim...

Teaching grammar online is an increasingly necessary practice, but the process is resource-heavy, requiring online tools such as grammar videos. Studies show that current online grammar modules have mixed effectiveness, and none of the studies have examined the effects of the design of these modules. This study investigated whether an online module, designed according to basic multi-media desig...
