Analytic derivation of the map of null rays passing near a naked singularity
Recently the energy emission from a naked singularity forming in spherical
dust collapse has been investigated. This radiation is due to the particle
creation in a curved spacetime. In this discussion, the central role is played
by the mapping formula between the incoming and the outgoing null coordinates.
For the self-similar model, this mapping formula has been derived analytically.
But for the model with density profile, the mapping formula has
been obtained only numerically. In the present paper, we argue that the
singular nature of the mapping is determined by the local geometry around the
point at which the singularity is first formed. If this is the case, it would
be natural to expect that the mapping formula can be derived analytically. In
the present paper, we analytically rederive the same mapping formula for the
model with density profile that has been earlier derived using a
numerical technique.Comment: 4 pages, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Depletion of energy from Naked Singular regions during gravitational collapse
A distinguishable and observable physical property of Naked Singular Regions
of the spacetime formed during a gravitational collapse has important
implications for both experimental and theoretical relativity. We examine here
whether energy can escape physically from naked singular regions to reach
either a local or a distant observer within the framework of general
relativity. We find that in case of imploding null dust collapse scenarios
field outgoing singular null geodesics including the cauchy horizon can be
immersed between two Vaidya spacetimes as null boundary layers with non
vanishing positive energy density. Thus energy can transported from the naked
singularity to either a local or a distant observer. And example illustrating
that similar considerations can be applied to dust models is given.Comment: 5 pages, 1 EPS figure, revised version accepted for publication in

Quantum general relativity and Hawking radiation
In a previous paper we have set up the Wheeler-DeWitt equation which
describes the quantum general relativistic collapse of a spherical dust cloud.
In the present paper we specialize this equation to the case of matter
perturbations around a black hole, and show that in the WKB approximation, the
wave-functional describes an eternal black hole in equilibrium with a thermal
bath at Hawking temperature.Comment: 13 pages, minor revisions in: (i) para 5 of Introduction, (ii) para

Can we see naked singularities?
We study singularities which can form in a spherically symmetric
gravitational collapse of a general matter field obeying weak energy condition.
We show that no energy can reach an outside observer from a null naked
singularity. That means they will not be a serious threat to the Cosmic
Censorship Conjecture (CCC). For the timelike naked singularities, where only
the central shell gets singular, the redshift is always finite and they can in
principle, carry energy to a faraway observer. Hence for proving or disproving
CCC the study of timelike naked singularities will be more important. Our
results are very general and are independent of initial data and the form of
the matter.Comment: 10 page
Divergence of the Quantum Stress Tensor on the Cauchy Horizon in 2-d Dust Collapse
We prove that the quantum stress tensor for a massless scalar field in two
dimensional non-selfsimilar Tolman Bondi dust collapse and Vaidya radiation
collapse models diverges on the Cauchy horizon, if the latter exists. The two
dimensional model is obtained by suppressing angular co-ordinates in the
corresponding four dimensional spherical model.Comment: 16 pages, no figures, LaTeX fil
Efficacy of selection in sexually breeding Artemia (Artemia franciscana, Kellogg, 1906)
Bi-directional selection for smaller naupliar size
(SNS) and bigger naupliar size (BNS) was practiced
to develop two divergent lines. The e⁄cacy of bidirectional
mass selection in Artemia franciscana was
evaluated by comparing the predicted genetic gains
with the realized genetic gains. Two sets of predictions
were made using two heritability estimates,
e.g., the heritability estimate from full-sib analysis
(h2) and the estimate from regression of o¡spring on
mid parent (bop). Predictions with the full-sib heritabilities
were of very high magnitude as compared
with predictions with bop heritabilities
Learning with a Drifting Target Concept
We study the problem of learning in the presence of a drifting target
concept. Specifically, we provide bounds on the error rate at a given time,
given a learner with access to a history of independent samples labeled
according to a target concept that can change on each round. One of our main
contributions is a refinement of the best previous results for polynomial-time
algorithms for the space of linear separators under a uniform distribution. We
also provide general results for an algorithm capable of adapting to a variable
rate of drift of the target concept. Some of the results also describe an
active learning variant of this setting, and provide bounds on the number of
queries for the labels of points in the sequence sufficient to obtain the
stated bounds on the error rates
Phenotypic estimates and heritability values of Artemia franciscana
Artemia, in all stages of its life cycle, is suitable food
for most diversi¢ed groups of aquatic animals.
Although its size at different stages restricts its use
as a food for some groups of ¢sh, this problem can be
overcome using selective breeding techniques. The
formulation of any selective breeding programme
calls for a proper understanding of the genetic architecture
of the economically important traits of the
population under study. Thus, heritability for certain
important life history and reproductive traits was estimated
in Artemia franciscana from the Great Salt
Lake, Utah. In the present study, the sexwise heritability
values for growth and reproduction traits
were estimated using parent offspring regression.
The phenotypic parameters for the same traits are
also recorded. The naupliar length was 487.072.0
and 490.671.8 mm for males and females, respectively,
whereas the heritability values for naupliar
length were 0.585170.2153 and 0.376670.1899
respectively. The length at 3 and 6 days of age were
1.8770.03 and 4.1070.08mm, respectively, for
maleswhereas1.8770.03 and 4.3070.08mm, respectively,
for females.The heritability values for length at
3 and 6 days of age for males were 0.327270.3651
and 0.496570.2466, respectively, whereas the respective
values for the females were 0.116770.3841
and 0.022270.2971. The estimates of length at ¢rst
brood, pre-reproductive period and number of o¡-
spring in ¢rst brood were 10.0970.23mm, 16.007
0.23 days and 53.5771.37 days, respectively, whereas
the heritability values for respective traits were
0.040370.1078,0.323470.2874 and 0.340470.2202
Naked Singularity Explosion
It is known that the gravitational collapse of a dust ball results in naked
singularity formation from an initial density profile which is physically
reasonable. In this paper, we show that explosive radiation is emitted during
the formation process of the naked singularity.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, Accepted for Publication in Phys. Rev. D as a

Physical aspects of naked singularity explosion - How does a naked singularity explode? --
The behaviors of quantum stress tensor for the scalar field on the classical
background of spherical dust collapse is studied. In the previous works
diverging flux of quantum radiation was predicted. We use the exact expressions
in a 2D model formulated by Barve et al. Our present results show that the back
reaction does not become important during the semiclassical phase. The
appearance of the naked singularity would not be affected by this quantum field
radiation. To predict whether the naked singularity explosion occurs or not we
need the theory of quantum gravity. We depict the generation of the diverging
flux inside the collapsing star. The quantum energy is gathered around the
center positively. This would be converted to the diverging flux along the
Cauchy horizon. The ingoing negative flux crosses the Cauchy horizon. The
intensity of it is divergent only at the central naked singularity. This
diverging negative ingoing flux is balanced with the outgoing positive
diverging flux which propagates along the Cauchy horizon. After the replacement
of the naked singularity to the practical high density region the instantaneous
diverging radiation would change to more milder one with finite duration.Comment: 18 pages, 16 figure
