From time series analysis to a modified ordinary differential equation

In understanding Big Data, people are interested to obtain the trend and dynamics of a given set of temporal data, which in turn can be used to predict possible futures. This paper examines a time series analysis method and an ordinary differential equation approach in modeling the price movements of petroleum price and of three different bank stock prices over a time frame of three years. Computational tests consist of a range of data fitting models in order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of these two approaches. A modified ordinary differential equation model, with different forms of polynomials and periodic functions, is proposed. Numerical tests demonstrated the advantage of the modified ordinary differential equation approach. Computational properties of the modified ordinary differential equation are studied

Path Loss Analysis on Biomedical Monitoring System

Path Loss Analysis on Biomedical Monitoring System is an analysis to observe the path loss on interactive real-time wireless communication system that monitor signal from human body. Using sensors and wireless networking, health status of a person can be monitored. Tiny wireless sensor that placed on the human body can be used to create a wireless body area network (WBAN). Wearable system for health monitoring is the key technology to help the transition to be more effective healthcare. This will allow patient to closely monitor the changes in their vital signs and provide feedback to help maintaining at optimal health status. This system can integrated into a telemedical system, to alert medical personnel when life-threatening changes occur. However, wireless communication has its own problem in term of path loss depending on the environment. In addition, human body is one of the environments with high path losses because of wave absorption from the tissues and muscle

Search for astronomical neutrinos from blazar TXS 0506+056 in super-kamiokande

We report a search for astronomical neutrinos in the energy region from several GeV to TeV in the direction of the blazar TXS 0506+056 using the Super-Kamiokande detector following the detection of a 100 TeV neutrinos from the same location by the IceCube collaboration. Using Super-Kamiokande neutrino data across several data samples observed from 1996 April to 2018 February we have searched for both a total excess above known backgrounds across the entire period as well as localized excesses on smaller timescales in that interval. No significant excess nor significant variation in the observed event rate are found in the blazar direction. Upper limits are placed on the electron- and muon-neutrino fluxes at the 90% confidence level as 6.0 × 10−7 and 4.5 × 10−7–9.3 × 10−10 [erg cm−2 s−1], respectively

The generalized Hamiltonian model for the shafting transient analysis of the hydro turbine generating sets.

yesTraditional rotor dynamics mainly focuses on the steady- state behavior of the rotor and shafting. However, for systems such as hydro turbine generating sets (HTGS) where the control and regulation is frequently applied, the shafting safety and stabilization in transient state is then a key factor. The shafting transient state inevitably involves multiparameter domain, multifield coupling, and coupling dynamics. In this paper, the relative value form of the Lagrange function and its equations have been established by defining the base value system of the shafting. Takingthe rotation angle and the angular speed of the shafting as a link, the shafting lateral vibration and generator equations are integrated into the framework of generalized Hamiltonian system. The generalized Hamiltonian control model is thus established. To make the model more general, additional forces of the shafting are taken as the input excitation in proposed model. The control system of the HTGS can be easily connected with the shafting model to form the whole simulation system of the HTGS. It is expected that this study will build a foundation for the coupling dynamics theory using the generalized Hamiltonian theory to investigate coupling dynamic mechanism among the shafting vibration, transient of hydro turbine generating sets, and additional forces of the shafting.National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant Nos. 51179079 and 5083900

Scattering Theory and PT\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}-Symmetry

We outline a global approach to scattering theory in one dimension that allows for the description of a large class of scattering systems and their $\mathcal{P}$-, $\mathcal{T}$-, and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetries. In particular, we review various relevant concepts such as Jost solutions, transfer and scattering matrices, reciprocity principle, unidirectional reflection and invisibility, and spectral singularities. We discuss in some detail the mathematical conditions that imply or forbid reciprocal transmission, reciprocal reflection, and the presence of spectral singularities and their time-reversal. We also derive generalized unitarity relations for time-reversal-invariant and $\mathcal{P}\mathcal{T}$-symmetric scattering systems, and explore the consequences of breaking them. The results reported here apply to the scattering systems defined by a real or complex local potential as well as those determined by energy-dependent potentials, nonlocal potentials, and general point interactions.Comment: Slightly expanded revised version, 38 page
