Moments of inertia of triaxial nuclei in covariant density functional theory

The covariant density functional theory(CDFT)and five-dimensional collective Hamiltonian(5DCH)are used to analyze the experimental deformation parameters and moments of inertia(MoIs)of 12 triaxial nuclei as extracted by Allmond and Wood[J.M.Allmond and J.L.Wood,Phys.Lett.B 767,226(2017)].We find that the CDFT MoIs are generally smaller than the experimental values but exhibit qualitative consistency with the irrotational flow and experimental data for the relative MoIs,indicating that the intermediate axis exhibites the largest MoI.Additionally,it is found that the pairing interaction collapse could result in nuclei behaving as a rigid-body flow,as exhibited in the^(186-192)Os case.Furthermore,by incorporating enhanced CDFT MoIs(factor of f≈1.55)into the 5DCH,the experimental low-lying energy spectra and deformation parameters are reproduced successfully.Compared with both CDFT and the triaxial rotor model,the 5DCH demonstrates superior agreement with the experimental deformation parameters and low-lying energy spectra,respectively,emphasizing the importance of considering shape fluctuations.

Inertial Entropy and External Validation of Clusterings

Axiomatization of Shannon entropy is a subject that has received lots of attention in the information theory literature.While Shannon entropy is defined on probability distribution,we define a new type of entropy on the set of partitions of finite subsets of metric spaces,which has a rich algebraic structure as a partially ordered set.We propose an axiomatization of an entropy-like measure of partitions of sets of objects located in metric spaces,and we derive an analytic expression of this new type of entropy referred to as inertial entropy.This approach starts with the notion of inertia of a partition and includes a study of the behavior of the sum of square errors of a partition.In this context,we characterize the chain of partitions produced by the Ward hierarchical clustering method.Starting from inertial entropies of partitions,we introduce conditional entropies which,in turn,generate metrics on partitions of finite sets.These metrics are used as external validation tools for clusterings of labeled data sets.The metric generated by inertial entropy can be used to validate data clustering for labeled data sets.This type of validation aims to determine to what extend labeling of the data coincides with the clustering obtained algorithmically,and we obtain a high degree of consistency of the data labeling with the results of several hierarchical clusterings.

The Nature of Inertia Explained Using the Field Theory

Analysis of free fall and acceleration of the mass on the Earth shows that using abstract entities such as absolute space or inertial space to explain mass dynamics leads to the violation of the principle of action and reaction. Many scientists including Newton, Mach, and Einstein recognized that inertial force has no reaction that originates on mass. Einstein calls the lack of reaction to the inertial force a serious criticism of the space-time continuum concept. Presented is the hypothesis that the inertial force develops in an interaction of two masses via the force field. The inertial force created by such a field has reaction force. The dynamic gravitational field predicted is strong enough to be detected in the laboratory. This article describes the laboratory experiment which can prove or disprove the hypothesis of the dynamic gravitational field. The inertial force, calculated using the equation for the dynamic gravitational field, agrees with the behavior of inertial force observed in the experiments on the Earth. The movement of the planets in our solar system calculated using that equation is the same as that calculated using Newton’s method. The space properties calculated by the candidate equation explain the aberration of light and the results of light propagation experiments. The dynamic gravitational field can explain the discrepancy between the observed velocity of stars in the galaxy and those predicted by Newton’s theory of gravitation without the need for the dark matter hypothesis.

Determining the moment of inertia of triaxial Mars with updated global gravity models

The principal moments of inertia(PMIs)with the principal axes are usually taken as the dynamic figure parameters of Mars;they can be deduced from satellite-observed degree-two gravitational potentials in recent global gravity models and from the dynamic ellipticities resulting from precession observations.These PMIs are natural and significant for the geodetic,geophysical,and geodynamic problems of Mars,which are functions of internal density distributions.In this study,a closed and concise formula for determining the PMIs of the entire planet and its core was developed based on the second invariants of gravity and a multipole expansion.We deduced the polar oblateness J^(2)and the equatorial ellipticity J_(22)of Mars to be 1.9566×10^(−3)and 6.3106×10^(−5),respectively.The preferred principal moments of inertia of Mars are A=2.66589×1036 kg·m^(2),B=2.66775×10^(36)kg·m^(2),and C=2.68125×10^(36)kg·m^(2).These values indicate that Mar is slightly triaxial.The equatorial principal moment of inertia of the Martian core is 1.46008×10^(35)kg·m^(2),accounting for~5.47%of the planet’s PMI;this result is critical for investigating the density and size of the core of Mars,and the planet’s free core nutation.

Disjointed Equivalence of Gravitational and Inertial Mass

Problem—Contemporary physics offers no underlying reason for the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. Approach—The equivalence is examined from the new physics provided by the cordus theory, being a non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) theory. Mathematical formalisms are derived for masses and observers in different fabric densities. Findings—A disjointed equivalence is predicted, whereby inertial and gravitational masses are equivalent in any one situation, but a different equivalence holds when the fabric densities change. Consequently this theory predicts that the gravitational constant G varies with fabric density, and hence would be different across the universe and across time. Not only is the gravitational constant non-constant, but the formulation of gravitation changes with fabric density. Specifically, the theory predicts gravity is stronger at genesis (and the end of the universe) such that orbit velocity vB ∝ (where rB is orbit radius), compared to weaker gravitation at middle life epochs with rB ∝ . The current Earth location and epoch correspond to the latter case, i.e. Newtonian gravitation is recovered. The findings disfavour the existence of both dark energy and dark matter, and instead attribute these effects to differences in the fabric density. Originality—The work makes the contribution of deriving a mass equivalence relationship that includes fabric density, identifying a disjointed mass equivalence, and showing that the gravitation formulation itself changes with relative fabric densities.

Moments of Inertia, Magnetic Dipole Moments, and Electric Quadrupole Moments of the Lithium Isotopes

The single-particle Schrödinger fluid model is designed mainly to calculate the moments of inertia of the axially symmetric deformed nuclei by assuming that each nucleon in the nucleus is moving in a single-particle potential which is deformed with time t, through its parametric dependence on a classical shape variable α(t). Also, the Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the single-particle energy levels, the magnetic dipole moments, and the electric quadrupole moments of axially symmetric deformed nuclei by assuming that all the nucleons are moving in the field of an anisotropic oscillator potential. On the other hand, the nuclear superfluidity model is designed for the calculations of the nuclear moments of inertia and the electric quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by assuming that the nucleons are moving in a quadruple deformed potential. Furthermore, the cranked Nilsson model is designed for the calculations of the total nuclear energy and the quadrupole moments of deformed nuclei which have no axes of symmetry by modifying the Nilsson potential to include second and fourth order oscillations. Accordingly, to investigate whether the six p-shell isotopes 6Li, 7Li, 8Li, 9Li, 10Li, and 11Li have axes of symmetry or not, we applied the four mentioned models to each nucleus by calculating their moments of inertia, their magnetic dipole moments, and their electric quadrupole moments by varying the deformation parameter β and the non-axiality parameter γ in wide ranges of values for this reason. Hence for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have axes of symmetry, we applied the single-particle Schrödinger fluid model and the Nilsson model. On the other hand, for the assumption that these isotopes are deformed and have no axes of symmetry, we applied the cranked Nilsson model and the nuclear super fluidity model. As a result of our calculations, we can conclude that the nucleus 6Li may be assumed to be deformed and has an axis of symmetry.

Minimal Critical Sets of Refined Inertias for Irreducible Sign Patterns of Order 2

Let S be a nonempty, proper subset of all refined inertias. Then, S is called a critical set of refined inertias for ireducible sign patterns of order n if is sufficient for any sign pattern A to be refined inertially arbitrary. If no proper subset of Sis a critical set of refined inertias, then S is a minimal critical set of refined inertias for sign patterns of order n . In this paper, all minimal critical sets of refined inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2 are identified. As a by-product, a new approach is presented to identify all minimal critical sets of inertias for irreducible sign patterns of order 2.

Improved spatial resolution in soil moisture retrieval at arid mining area using apparent thermal inertia

A surface soil moisture model with improved spatial resolution was developed using remotely sensed apparent thermal inertia（ATI）.The model integrates the surface temperature derived from TM/ETM＋ image and the mean surface temperature from MODIS images to improve the spatial resolution of soil temperature difference based on the heat conduction equation,which is necessary to calculate the ATI.Consequently,the spatial resolution of ATI and SMC can be enhanced from 1 km to 120 m（TM） or 60m（ETM＋）.Moreover,the enhanced ATI has a much stronger correlation coefficient（R^2） with SMC（0.789） than the surface reflectance（0.108） or the ATI derived only from MODIS images（0.264）.Based on the regression statistics of the field SMC measurement and enhanced ATI,a linear regression model with an RMS error of 1.90%was found.

Inertia Match of a 3-RRR Reconfigurable Planar Parallel Manipulator

Inertia match of the parallel manipulator means the ratio of the inertial load of the parallel manipulator converted to each actuator shaft and the moment of inertia of the actuator is kept within a reasonable range. Currently there are many studies on parallel manipulators, but few mention inertia parameters and inertia match of parallel manipulators. This paper focuses on the inertia characteristics of the 3-RRR reconfigurable planar parallel manipulator. On the basis of the inverse dynamic formulations deduced with the principle of virtual work, the inertia matrix of the 3-RRR planar parallel manipulator in the actuator space is obtained in algebraic form. Then, by unifying the dimension and averaging diagonal elements of the inertia matrix, the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator, which is the inertial load of the parallel manipulator converted to each actuator shaft, is determined. By transforming the inertia problem of the 3-RRR parallel manipulator into that of the serial multi-bar manipulator, the practicality of the equivalent inertia deduced by inverse dynamics is demonstrated. According to the physical meaning of the inertia equation, the manipulator is divided in to three parts. Further analysis is carried out on the contribution of each part to the equivalent inertia and their distributions in the required workspace, revealing that the passive links cannot ignored in calculating the equivalent inertia of the parallel manipulator. Finally, the inertia match for the 3-RRR reconfigurable parallel manipulator under three configurations is accomplished, and reducers are selected. The equivalent inertia calculation and the inertial match results illustrate that the inertia math is a necessary step to the design of the parallel manipulator, and inertia parameters dramatically affect dynamic performances of parallel manipulators. Besides, the equivalent inertia and inertial match principles, proposed in the paper, can be widely applied in the dynamic analysis and servomotors selecting for the parallel manipulator.

TWO CLASSES OF SYMMETRIC SIGN PATTERNS THAT REQUIRE UNIQUE INERTIA

A sign pattern is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. Associated with each sign pattern A of order n is a qualitative class of A,defined by Q(A). For a symmetric sign pattern A of order n,the inertia of A is a set i(A)={i(B)=(i +(B),i -(B),i 0(B))|B=B T∈ Q(A)},where i +(B) (respectively,i -(B),i 0(B)) denotes the number of positive (respectively,negative,zero) eigenvalues. That the symmetric sign pattern A requires unique intertia means i(B 1)=i(B 2) for all real symmetric matrices B 1,B 2∈Q(A).The purpose of this paper is to characterize double star and cycle sign patterns that require unique inertia. Further,their unique inertia is also obtained.

Addressing Frequency Control Challenges in Future Low-Inertia Power Systems:A Great Britain Perspective

The ambitious global targets on decarbonization present the need for massive integration of renewable generation in power systems,resulting in a significant decrease in the system inertia.In addition to the reduction in system inertia,the transmission system in Great Britain(GB)faces some unique challenges owing to its relatively small capacity,while being decoupled from other transmission systems and with the renewable resources largely non-uniformly distributed across the system.This paper presents opinions and insights on the challenges associated with frequency control in a low-inertia system and the potential solutions from a GB perspective.In this paper,we focus on three main techniques that act over different time scales:synchronous condensers,inertia emulation,and fast frequency response.We evaluate their relative advantages and limitations with learnings from recent research and development projects in GB,along with the opinions on their roles in addressing the frequency control challenges in future low-inertia systems.

INERTIA SETS OF SYMMETRIC SIGN PATTERN MATRICES

A sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. The symmetric sign pattern matrices that require unique inertia have recently been characterized. The purpose of this paper is to more generally investigate the inertia sets of symmetric sign pattern matrices. In particular, nonnegative tri-diagonal sign patterns and the square sign pattern with all + entries are examined. An algorithm is given for generating nonnegative real symmetric Toeplitz matrices with zero diagonal of orders n≥3 which have exactly two negative eigenvalues. The inertia set of the square pattern with all + off-diagonal entries and zero diagonal entries is then analyzed. The types of inertias which can be in the inertia set of any sign pattern are also obtained in the paper. Specifically, certain compatibility and consecutiveness properties are established.

Research on Effect of Oil Film Inertia on Piston Skirt by Iteration Method

The influence of oil film inertia on piston skirt lubrication in a high speedengine is investigated by an iteration method that alternately solves the Navier-Stocks equationsand the Reynolds equa-tion by finite element method and difference method. The Reynolds lubricationequation including oil film inertia is developed, in which the inertia coefficient is introduced toinvestigate the effect of oil film inertia. The iteration procedure and finite formulation ofsolving the new Reynolds lubrication equation are given to analyze the effect of oil film on pistonskirt in this kind of engine. The calculation results show that the oil film inertia has someeffects on the friction force, pressure force and load capacity of oil film and its effect isobvious for the last. The Reynolds lubrication equation proposed can be also used to analyze thelubrication performance of the piston skirt in low or medium speed engine and some other lubricationproblems generally excluding oil film inertia with the inertia coefficient being set at zero.

Inertia Set of a Nonnegative Symmetric Sign Pattern

For a symmetric sign pattern S1 the inertia set of S is defined to be the set of all ordered triples si（S） = {i（A） ： A = A^T ∈ Q（S）} Consider the n × n sign pattern Sn, where Sn is the pattern with zero entry （i,j） for 1 ≤ i = j ≤ n or｜i -j｜=n- 1 and positive entry otherwise. In this paper, it is proved that si（Sn） = {（n1, n2, n - n1 - n2）｜n1≥ 1 and n2 ≥ 2} for n ≥ 4.

The Nature and Origin of Inertia

This paper aims to present a new theory that explains the mechanism of inertia at providing a satisfying explanation for the yet unknown mechanism for inertia. By considering the vacuum as a liquid with a measurable density, hydrodynamics laws are used to describe the behaviour of the vacuum when it is dragged by moving body. The inertia is the result of the initial resistance between the moving bodies against the static vacuum. The moving body drags the resisting vacuum during acceleration, till the point that the vacuum travels with the moving body and has the same velocity. When the body decelerates, the vacuum continues to flow and to push the body at the same direction of the original flow till its complete stop. Formulations based on Planck theory derived to prove its equivalence to Newton inertia law. Formulation based on hydrodynamics is derived to confirm the theory that the force exerted by the vacuum on static body in gravity and on moving body in inertia is equivalent to Newton law. The strong equivalence principle is reaffirmed and, consequently, Einstein’s equations are preserved.

How to Demonstrate the Lorentz Factor: Variable Time v.s. Variable Inertial Mass

For a century, hypothesis of a variable time is laid down by the Relativity Theory. This hypothesis can explain many Nature observations, experiments and formulas, for example the Lorentz factor demonstration. Because of such good explanations, the hypothesis of a variable time has been validated. Nevertheless, it remains some paradoxes and some predictions which are difficult to measure, as a reversible time or the time variation itself. The purpose of this article is to study another hypothesis. If it gives interesting results, it would mean that this alternative hypothesis can also be validated. The idea in this paper is to replace the variable time by a variable inertial mass. To the difference with the Theory of Relativity (where the inertial mass and the gravitational mass are equal and variable), the gravitational mass is here supposed to be constant. So, starting from the definition of the kinetic energy, it is introduced the Lorentz factor. And then it is demonstrated the value of the Lorentz factor thanks to a variable inertial mass. This variable inertial mass can also explain experiments, like Bertozzi experiment. If this alternative demonstration was validated, it could help to open doors, other physical effects could be explained like the addition of velocities.

Introduction to the Theory of Relativity of Non-Inertial Systems and Mechanics of the Universe

The physical nature of inertia is explored. Authors, based on Mach’s principle, offer hypothesis of the induction nature of inertia and theory, which allows extend the principle of relativity to the non-inertial reference systems. The system of differential equations, which eliminates the shortcomings of Newtonian mechanics and Special Theory of Relativity (STR) was composed according to this theory. Row of concrete calculations and explanations are made using the theory. Reason of constancy orbital velocities of galaxies is found out and way of its calculations is shown. Existence of dark matter and the new particles (neutralinos, axons, space vacuum etc.) is prejudiced. Axial deviation of the ray of light in gravitational field is explained and calculated. An example of calculation of the Mercury’s orbital motion is made and complex planets’ trajectories are explained by the action of new field with induction nature. Flat rotation of celestial bodies and shaping of planets’ rings (like the Saturn’s rings) are explained. Indistinguishability of Doppler and Einstein’s effects for terrestrial observer is shown.

A new weld repair technique for friction stir welded aluminium structure:inertia friction pull plug welding

The paper gives an analysis on technical characteristics of repair techniques for friction stir welding defects. To overcome the defects,a new repair technique, inertia friction pull plug welding( IFPPW), was researched and its equipment was developed as well. Elementary datum was achieved by investigating the influences of technological parameters on mechanical properties and by analyzing the structural characteristics of repair joint with IFPPW. The study shows that the stability and reliability of welding process of IFPPW can be guaranteed through the constant energy from the flywheel.Integrated with the advantages of friction pull plug welding,the IFPPW,free from back anvil,is considered as a promising technique in repair of termination keyhole of bobbin tool friction stir welding and point-like defects in aluminum alloy welding.

Long-term results of subtotal colectomy with cecorectal anastomosis for isolated colonic inertia

AIM： To evaluate the results of sub total colectomy withI cecorectal anastomosis （STC-CRA） for isolated colonicinertia （CI）. METHODS： Fourteen patients （mean age 57.5±16.5 year） underwent surgery for isolated CI between January 1986 and December 2002. The mean frequency of bowel motions with the aid of laxatives was 1.2±0.6 per week. All subjects underwent colonoscopy, anorectal manometry, cinedefaecography and colonic transit time （CTF）. CI was defined as diffuse markers delay on CTF without evidence of pelvic floor dysfunction. All patients underwent STC-CRA. Long-term follow-up was obtained prospectively by clinical visits between October 2005 and February 2006 at a mean of 10.5 ＋ 3.6 years （range 5-16 years） during which we considered the number of stool emissions, the presence of abdominal pain or digitations, the use of pain killers, laxatives and/or fibers. Patients were also asked if they were satisfied with the surgery. RESULTS： There was no postoperative mortality Postoperative complications occurred in 21.4% （3/14）. At the end of follow-up, bowel frequency was significantly （P〈0.05）increased to a mean of 4.8±7.5 per day （range 1-30）. One patient reported disabling diarrhea. Two patients used laxatives less than three times per month without complaining of what they called constipation Overall, 78.5% of patients would have chosen surgery again if necessary. CONCLUSION： STC-CRA is feasible and safe in patients with CI achieving 79% of success at a mean follow-up of 10.5 years. A prospective controlled evaluation is warranted to verify the advantages of this surgical approach in patients with CI.
