Are Preformed Cooper Pairs The Cause For The Pseudogap in Superconductors?
(2014)
A weak-coupling scenario wherein bosonic preformed electron pairs emerge upon cooling from two-electron correlations can explain the pseudogap phase consisting of segments where a Bogoliubov-like energy-momentum relation ...
Regular and conformal regular cores for static and rotating solutions
(2014)
Using a new metric for generating rotating solutions, we derive in a general fashion the solution of an imperfect fluid and that of its conformal homolog. We discuss the conditions that the stress-energy tensors and invariant ...
An integrated simulation model for analysing electricity and gas systems
(2014)
This paper aims at analysing the impacts of interdependencies between electricity and natural gas systems in terms of security of energy supply. When analysing both systems several interdependencies can be observed, however, ...
An Exergetic Approach to The Age of Universe
(2014)
Recent finding by Bond et al. (2013) about the age of the star HD 140283 (14.46 +/- 0.8 Gyr) requires us to reconsider the estimates about the age of the universe, namely 13.817 +/- 0.048 Gyr. Their conflicting result is ...
Solution of Linear Differential Equations with Fuzzy Boundary Values
(2014)
We investigate linear differential equations with boundary values expressed by fuzzy numbers. In contrast to most approaches, which search for a fuzzy-valued function as the solution, we search for a fuzzy set of real ...
Silhouette Extraction from Street View Images
(2014)
This study addresses the issue of silhouette extraction of a street, and proposes two novel approaches to overcome this problem. The first, namely hybrid stitching considers the silhouette extraction as an image stitching ...
A Comparative Holistic Fuzzy Approach for Evaluation of the Chain Performance of Suppliers
(2014)
The competition between the companies in the dynamic market conditions has made the Supply Chain Management (SCM) a more important issue. The companies which have organized their supply chain effectively have obtained more ...
Geometrothermodynamics: comments, criticisms, and support
(2014)
We write explicitly the Euler identity and the Gibbs-Duhem relation for thermodynamic potentials that are not homogeneous first-order functions of their natural extensive variables. We apply the rules to the theory of ...
Solution to Al-Jurjani's 1,000 Year Old Signal Processing Problem on The Generation of Harmonics in Music
(2014)
Interval (tuning) systems in music reflect history, culture and geography. The classical music of the west is based on the twelve-tone equal temperament (12-TET) interval (tuning) system which became dominant throughout ...
