While RHIC has only just started running for its heavy ion physics program, in the first run last summer, we achieved 10% of the design luminosity. In this paper we discuss plans for increasing the luminosity by a factor of 35 beyond the nominal design. A factor of 4 should be straightforward by doubling the number of bunches per ring and squeezing the β* from 2 to 1 m at selected interaction p...

In this article, we analyze traveling waves in a reaction–diffusionmechanics (RDM) system. The system consists of a modified FitzHugh–Nagumo equation, also known as the Aliev–Panfilov model, coupled bidirectionally with an elasticity equation for a deformable medium. In one direction, contraction and expansion of the elastic medium decreases and increases, respectively, the ionic currents and a...

The short parton production phase in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is treated analytically as a nonlinear diffusion process. The initial buildup of the rapidity density distributions of produced charged hadrons within τp ' 0.25 fm/c occurs in three sources during the colored partonic phase. In a two-step approach, the subsequent diffusion in pseudorapidity space during the interaction time o...

I srael is very much an “island” in terms of electricity supply. For political reasons, its grid is not connected with those of its neighbors. Until recently, it had little in the way of domestic deposits of fossil fuels to generate electricity. Th us, Israel relies on imported coal as the primary fuel for base-load electric-power generation: In 2007, coal was used to generate about 70 percent ...

This paper presents a domain-oriented user attribute model for getting user personalized and real requirements on the field of the accurate retrieval. Resource Distribution Matrix (RDM) and User’s Personalized Preference Vector (UPPV) are created by analyzing the user feature and resource characteristic on domain – specific condition. We then present a method to improve the efficiency of the pe...

Universities strive to foster knowledge sharing and greater research productivity. Some recognize that this requires output be findable, accessible, interoperable reusable. But current tools do not yet allow a comprehensive adoption of these FAIR principles for making openly globally accessible generate new knowledge. To address gap, diverse stakeholders are collaborating build effective data m...
