This paper gives an overview of the properties of all possible equilibrium sequences of compact strange-matter stars with nuclear crusts, which range from strange stars to strange dwarfs. In contrast to their non-strange counterparts, –neutron stars and white dwarfs–, their properties are determined by two (rather than one) parameters, the central star density and the density at the base of the...

We show how to characterize a strange attractor by a set of integers. These are extracted from the chaotic time-series data by first reconstructing the low-period orbits and then determining the template, or knot holder, which supports all periodic orbits embedded in the strange attractor, and the strange attractor itself. The template is identified by a set of integers which therefore characte...

Aperiodic dynamics which is nonchaotic is realized on Strange Nonchaotic attractors (SNAs). Such attractors are generic in quasiperiodically driven nonlinear systems, and like strange attractors, are geometrically fractal. The largest Lyapunov exponent is zero or negative: trajectories do not show exponential sensitivity to initial conditions. In recent years, SNAs have been seen in a number of...

A kilonova signal is generally expected after a Black Hole - Neutron Star merger. The strength of the related to equation state neutron star matter and it increases with stiffness latter. recent results obtained by NICER from analyses PSR J0740+6620 suggest rather stiff therefore strong, at least if mass does not exceed $\sim 10 \mathrm{\,M}_\odot$ adimensional spin parameter too small orbit pr...

Predictive developmental hypotheses play a crucial role in developmental theories. These hypotheses link early developmental behaviors or processes to later developmental outcomes. Empirical tests of predictive developmental hypotheses are generally based on standard regression models. It is argued that hierarchical linear models or longitudinal multilevel models offer a better alternative. A m...

Numerous studies have shown that strange nonchaotic attractors (SNAs) can be observed generally in quasiperiodically forced systems. These systems could be one- or high-dimensional maps, continuous-time systems, or experimental models. Recently introduced measures of complexity based on recurrence plots can detect the transitions from quasiperiodic to chaotic motion via SNAs in the previously c...

It is believed that pulsars are neutron stars or strange stars with crusts. However we suggest here that pulsars may be bare strange stars (i.e., strange stars without crust). Due to rapid rotation and strong emission, young strange stars produced in supernova explosions should be bare when they act as radio pulsars. Because of strong magnetic field, two polar-crusts would shield the polar caps...

defamiliarization, the artistic technique of presenting to audiences common things in an unfamiliar or strange way in order to enhance perception of the familiar, is the main function of artistic literature. paradox is one of its techniques. paradox is used either syntactically or semantically. ibn al-farid was a mystic sufi poet gifted by mystical perceptions in addition to his poetic talents....
