We consider the quantum mechanics of a particle on the coset superspace SU(2|1)/[U(1)×U(1)], which is a super-flag manifold with SU(2)/U(1) ∼= S2 ‘body’. By incorporating the Wess-Zumino terms associated with the U(1) × U(1) stability group, we obtain an exactly solvable super-generalization of the Landau model for a charged particle on the sphere. We solve this model using the factorization me...

OBJECTIVE The proportion of the super-aged population (at the age of 80 or above) in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) and the incidence of CSDH of the population have been increasing. Since it is widely accepted that YL-1 needle is effective in CSDH treatment, this paper aimed to probe into the efficacy of YL-1 needle in minimally invasive surgery for super-aged (at the age of 80-...

Batch production plants provide a wide range of scheduling problems. In pharmaceutical industries a batch process is usually described by a recipe, consisting of an ordering of tasks to produce the desired product. In this research work we focused on pharmaceutical production processes requiring the culture of a microorganism population (i.e. bacteria, yeasts or antibiotics). Several sources of...

In this paper, we use an input oriented chance-constrained DEA model withrandom inputs and outputs. A super-eciency model with chance constraintsis used for ranking. However, for convenience in calculations a non-linear deterministicequivalent model is obtained to solve the models. The non-linearmodel is converted into a model with quadratic constraints to solve the nonlineardeterministic model...

An empirically motivated model is presented for accretion-dominated growth of the super massive black holes (SMBH) in galaxies, and the implications are studied for the evolution of the quasar population in the universe. We investigate the core aspects of the quasar population, including space density evolution, evolution of the characteristic luminosity, plausible minimum masses of quasars, th...
