Excitation energies of the ns1/2 (n= 7-10), npj (n = 7-9), ndj (n= 6-8), nfj (n= 5-7), and ngj (n= 5-6) states in Th IV are evaluated. First-, second-, third-, and all-order Coulomb energies and firstand second-order Coulomb-Breit energies are calculated. Reduced matrix elements, oscillator strengths, transition rates, and lifetimes are determined for the 96 possible nlj−n′l′ j′ electric-dipole...

Measurements of shear Alfvén waves are used to test the predictions of a variety of different electron collision operators, including several Krook collision operators as well as a Lorentz collision operator. New expressions for the collisional warm-plasma dielectric tensor resulting from the use of the fully-magnetized collisional Boltzmann equation are presented here. Theoretical predictions ...

We solve the nonlinear evolution of pressureless, irrotational density fluctuations in a perturbed Robertson-Walker spacetime using a new Lagrangian method based on the velocity gradient and gravity gradient tensors. Borrowing results from general relativity, we obtain a set of Newtonian ordinary differential equations for these quantities following a given mass element. Using these Lagrangian ...

We build on the formulation developed in S. Sridhar and N. K. Singh [J. Fluid Mech. 664, 265 (2010)] and present a theory of the shear dynamo problem for small magnetic and fluid Reynolds numbers, but for arbitrary values of the shear parameter. Specializing to the case of a mean magnetic field that is slowly varying in time, explicit expressions for the transport coefficients α(il) and η(il) a...

The self-energy of the Dirac Brueckner-Hartree-Fock calculation in nuclear matter is parametrized by introducing density-dependent coupling constants of isoscalar mesons in the relativistic Hartree-Fock (RHF) approach where isoscalar meson σ , ω and isovector meson π , ρ contributions are included. The RHF calculations with density dependent coupling constants obtained in this way not only repr...
