Squid span four orders of magnitude in size yet rely on pulsed jets. We show that the funnel (siphon) is a compliant nozzle whose dilation and recoil lag mantle contraction, storing and returning energy within each pulse, a mechanism we…
We derive a general expression for the low-temperature current distribution in a two-dimensional electron gas, subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field and in a confining potential that varies slowly on the scale of the magnetic length…
Cooling flows are common in galaxy clusters which have cool cores. The soft X-ray emission below 1 keV from the flows is mostly absorbed by cold dusty gas within the central cooling sites. Further evidence for this process is presented here…
This manuscript considers the viscous/inviscid Moore-Gibson-Thompson (MGT) equations with memory of type I in the whole space $\mathbb{R}^n$. For one thing, associating with a new condition on initial data, we derive the optimal $L^2$…
We have carried out Very Large Array (VLA) continuum observations to study the variability of Sgr A* at 43 GHz ($\lambda$=7mm) and 22 GHz ($\lambda$=13mm). A low level of flare activity has been detected with a duration of $\sim$ 2 hours at…

The hadron resonance gas (HRG) model is often believed to correctly describe the confined phase of QCD. This assumption is the basis of many phenomenological works on QCD thermodynamics and of the analysis of hadron yields in relativistic…

There are a number of constraints which limit the current and voltages which can be applied on a multiple drive electrical imaging system. One obvious constraint is to limit the maximum Ohmic power dissipated in the body. Current patterns…

The maximum current that can be transported across a vacuum diode is limited by forces arising due to space charge. In a planar diode configuration, the space charge limited (SCL) current density from a planar emitting patch is given by the…
