Abstract:

The issue of the conformal factor in quantum gravity is examined for Lorentzian signature spacetimes. In Euclidean signature, the “wrong” sign of the conformal action makes the path integral undefined, but in Lorentzian signature this sign is tied to the instability of gravity and once this is accounted for the path integral should be well-defined. In this approach it is not obvious that the Baum-Hawking-Coleman mechanism for suppression of the cosmological constant functions. It is conceivable that since the multiuniverse system exhibits an instability for positive cosmological constant, the dynamics should force the system to zero cosmological constant.

Abstract:

Introduction: Anterior shoulder dislocation and recurrent glenohumeral instability is very common in the young active population. It is usually caused by trauma, and often compounded by associated bony Bankart and Hill-Sachs lesions, which distort the anatomy. This causes instability and dysfunction of the joint and these can be addressed by, amongst others, a Latarjet surgical procedure. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that since the Latarjet procedure results in stability and good functional outcome, our results are expected to compare favourably to the rest of the published literature. Methods: A retrospective study of 31 patients treated with the Latarjet procedure at Helen Joseph hospital, Johannesburg South Africa was undertaken during the period of January 2005 to December 2013. The minimum follow up was 6 months. Stability was assessed looking at re-dislocation rate and the clinical functional outcome was measured using the Constant Score. Results: There were no shoulder re-dislocations and the mean Constant score was 85.35. 74% had a Constant Score above 80. 68% were pain free and 61% had normal activities of daily living while 68% had a full range of motion and 68% had full power. Conclusion: The Latarjet results in stability and good functional outcome. In our patient cohort, the Latarjet procedure provided reliable stability to the shoulder joint. Pain was alleviated, shoulder muscle power was preserved, range of shoulder motion was restored and patients did return to pre injury activities of daily living.

We report on a fractal pattern formed in Rayleight-Taylor instability. The fractal dimension is 1.88 ± 0.06, which is constant in time t > t1 = 70 s. The pattern area decreases according to exp (-t/τ), where t and τ are time and time constant 69.8 s, respectively. τ agrees with t1. This result leads that it is important for the fractal formation that sufficient annihilation of the heavier solution at the surface.

Abstract:

This study presented the DC bus instability in distributed power system driving by Photovoltaic (PV) source with constant power load (CPL). The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of PV source towards the performances of DC bus voltage stability using constant power load. The system first was tested using linear DC supply as voltage source and CPL was modeled and connected to the voltage source through LC filter network. A passive damping circuit was chosen to stabilize the DC bus instability. The system was repeated using PV source. PV array was modeled based on the parameters obtained from a commercial PV data sheet. A circuitry simulation was performed under the similar design excluding the DC source in order to investigate DC bus instability. Results showed that the stability of DC bus become unstable when using linear DC voltage supply and slightly affected when using PV source. The instability phenomenon due to the negative incremental impedance of a constant power load can be overcome by using damping technique. For linear DC voltage source, DC bus voltage system tends to oscillate. However, with PV source which is actually a current source input seems not much affecting the DC bus voltage stability.

Abstract:

A mechanism for suppressing the cosmological constant is described, using a superconducting analogy in which fermions coupled perturbatively to gravitons are in an unstable false vacuum. The coupling of the fermions to gravitons and a screened attractive interaction among pairs of fermions generates fermion condensates with zero momentum and a phase transition induces a non-perturbative transition to a true vacuum state. This produces a positive energy gap Δ in the vacuum energy identified with [Formula: see text] where Λ is the cosmological constant. In the strong coupling limit, a large cosmological constant induces a period of inflation in the early universe, followed by a weak coupling limit in which [Formula: see text] vanishes exponentially fast as the universe expands due to the dependence of the energy gap on the density of Fermi surface fermions, predicting a small cosmological constant in the early universe.

Full text

Abstract:

Dynamic instability of a rotating ship shaft subjected to a periodic axial force is studied by using discrete singular convolution (DSC) with regularized Shannon’s delta kernel. The excitation frequency is related to the spinning speed and the number of blades on the propeller. Effects of number of blades, constant term in the periodic force, and damping on dynamic instability regions are investigated. The results have shown that the increase of number of blades and damping could improve the dynamic stability of rotating shaft with damping. The increase of constant term in the periodic force leads to dynamic instability regions shifting to lower frequencies, making the shaft more sensitive to periodic force. Those dynamic instability regions obtained by DSC method have been compared with those by Floquet’s method to verify the application of DSC method to dynamic instability analysis of rotating ship shaft.

Abstract:

In the framework of the magnetohydrodynamic equations with dissipative terms in the form of turbulent viscosity (Vt) the linear stage of the instability of a subphotospheric field with respect to magnetic buoyancy is considered. For an exponential in z, isothermal plane-parallel atmosphere with a constant Alfvenic velocity the perturbations of the form are described by differential equation with constant coefficients. The qualitative dependence of the growth rate of instability on transverse wave number is determined (see Figures 1 and 2) and characteristic scales of the magnetic tubes are evaluated at the linear stage of instability (Kuznetsov, 1987, 1988).

Abstract:

Consider a C1 vector field X on a finite-dimensional manifold M and xe an equilibrium point for the dynamics [Formula: see text]. We will prove that if I is a C2 constant of motion for X such that xe is also a critical point of I, then [Formula: see text] is a constant of motion for the linearized system [Formula: see text]. As a consequence we will give an instability result under the condition that [Formula: see text] is an indefinite quadratic form. If xe is not a critical point of I, then we obtain [Formula: see text] as a constant of motion for the linearized system.

Full text

Abstract:

Static liquefaction of loose sands has been observed to initiate at stress ratios far less than the steady-state stress ratio. Different collapse surface concepts largely based on undrained triaxial test results have been proposed in the literature to explain the above instability phenomenon of loose sands. Studies of the instability behavior of fill material derived from residual soils remain limited. The present study investigated the instability behavior of a compacted residual soil using the conventional undrained triaxial tests and specially equipped constant shear triaxial tests. The test results were characterized in the p’: q: v space using the current state parameter with respect to the steady-state line for the residual soil. A modified collapse surface that has gradients varying with p’ and v was proposed for the loose residual soil to represent the instability states of undrained loading. Under constant shear stress conditions, the soil can mobilize stress ratios higher than those defined by the modified collapse surface. An instability surface was therefore presented for the instability states reached in static loading. Further, an alternative method of deducing the instability surface from the undrained stress paths was introduced.

Full text

Abstract:

In this work, the fluidelastic instability of a tube placed in an array subjected to two-phase crossflow has been studied. For the determination of fluidelastic instability, acrylic tubes 2.2 cm or 2.37 cm in diameter and 20 cm in length were arranged in a triangular array with pitch to diameter ratio of 1.4 and 1.3. The test tube was flexibly supported with two cantilever beams. By installing cantilever beams horizontally and vertically, drag and lift direction tube vibration were studied. The total damping ratio is found to increase as the liquid gap velocity or void fraction increases. It has been found that the effective spring constant decreases rapidly with increase of liquid gap velocity or void fraction just prior to the onset of instability. For the range of parameters studied in this work, the onset of fluidelastic instability is associated with a rapid decrease of the effective spring constant because for a given applied force the amplitude of the tube vibration is inversely proportional to the spring constant.

Full text

Abstract:

The exchange of tubulin dimer into steady-state microtubules was studied over a range of solution conditions, in order to assess the effects of various common buffer components on the dynamic instability of microtubules. In comparison with standard buffer conditions (100 mM-Pipes buffer, pH 6.5, containing 0.1 mM-EGTA, 1.8 mM-MgC12 and 1 M-glycerol), the rate and extent of exchange, and thus of dynamic instability, are suppressed by increasing the concentration of glycerol above 2 M. Exchange is enhanced by the addition of further Mg2+ (up to 17 mM) or by the addition of Ca2+ (up to 0.4 mM). Phosphate ion (150 mM) has relatively little effect on the dynamic behaviour of microtubules, as judged by the exchange method. The findings are interpreted within the framework of the Lateral Cap model for microtubule dynamic instability, in terms of the effects of these changes on the intrinsic rate constants of the system. By contrast, the extent of tubulin exchange depends selectively on the value of the dissociation rate constant for tubulin-GDP. A decrease in the extent of exchange, and hence in dynamic activity, is associated with a decreased value for this rate constant, and vice versa. The results also show good agreement of predictions of the model in treating the observed variations in the dynamic properties of individual microtubules, induced by different solution conditions.

Abstract:

A binary mixture saturating a horizontal porous layer, with large pores and uniformly heated from below, is considered. The instability of a vertical fluid motion (throughflow) when the layer is salted by one salt (either from above or from below) is analyzed. Ultimately boundedness of solutions is proved, via the existence of positively invariant and attractive sets (i.e. absorbing sets). The critical Rayleigh numbers at which steady or oscillatory instability occurs are recovered. Sufficient conditions guaranteeing that a secondary steady motion or a secondary oscillatory motion can be observed after the loss of stability are found. When the layer is salted from above, a condition guaranteeing the occurrence of “cold” instability is determined. Finally, the influence of the velocity module on the increasing/decreasing of the instability thresholds is investigated.

Abstract:

AbstractWe consider operators$ - \Delta + X $, where$ X $is a constant vector field, in a bounded domain, and show spectral instability when the domain is expanded by scaling. More generally, we consider semiclassical elliptic boundary value problems which exhibit spectral instability for small values of the semiclassical parameter$h$, which should be thought of as the reciprocal of the Péclet constant. This instability is due to the presence of the boundary: just as in the case of$ - \Delta + X $, some of our operators are normal when considered on$\mathbb{R}^d$. We characterize the semiclassical pseudospectrum of such problems as well as the areas of concentration of quasimodes. As an application, we prove a result about exit times for diffusion processes in bounded domains. We also demonstrate instability for a class of spectrally stable nonlinear evolution problems that are associated with these elliptic operators.

The proposed calibration method for gyroscope constants provides higher accuracy than datasheet constants. Furthermore, we show that using a different constant for each direction provides even higher accuracy.

Abstract:

In the present paper we report the diffusion-induced modulational instability (MI) of an intense laser beam in materials (BaTiO<sub>3</sub>) with high dielectric constant using quantum hydrodynamic model of plasmas including Bohm potential and Fermi degenerate pressure. For the study of modulation interaction, we have considered that the origin of this nonlinear interaction lies in the third order nonlinear electrical susceptibility arising due to diffusion-induced nonlinear current density and strain dependent polarization of the medium. We have studied the qualitative behavior of parametric dispersion, gain profile and threshold value of pump field with respect to different parameters. It is found that due to the quantum effect the growth rate of MI in the limited range of parameters increases and required threshold amplitude of wave reduces. Hence the result of this analysis would be useful in designing acousto-electric modulators.

Abstract:

Abstract There are risks of resonant instability exiting in the DC distribution system configured with battery energy storage devices because of capacitors and inductors in the network with fast speed-controlled DC-DC converters. The DC distribution system needs battery energy storage devices to provide DC voltage support when it operates in an isolated island mode because of no AC or DC sources at that moment. To explore the key factors affecting the resonant instability of DC network, a three-terminal DC network consisting of DC voltage control, constant current control, and constant power load is used for state space modeling. Research results show that the inductors for faults current limitation interacting with the capacitors under high constant power load is the main reason causing instability. The other reason is the large parameter of the current controller. To suppress the resonant instability of the DC distribution system, a damping control strategy by filtering DC voltage in advance to the current control loop is proposed, and the parameters are selected using the roots locus method. Simulations verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Full text

Abstract:

A dynamic model for the two-dimensional quadruped has been developed. The main body is modelled as a rigid bar and each leg consists of a constant stiffness spring, a viscous damper and a force actuator. Based on symmetry principles, a controller has been devised that will enable the quadruped to gallop at constant speed. The controller consists of two parts: an energy controller which will apply the required amount of force through the legs, and the speed controller that will control the forward speed by appropriately placing the legs. It will be shown that the body pitch need not be explicitly controlled. The stability of this controller will be examined using Poincare maps. Stable systems show either periodic or quasi-periodic response. This system also exhibits chaotic behavior and chaotic response results in instability. The stability of the system with changes in the initial conditions, as well as variations in the system parameters, will also be examined. It will be shown that the system is stable for a range of leg stiffnesses. Outside this range, the system shows chaotic behavior.

Abstract:

Background: Given the high number of available patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools for patients undergoing shoulder surgery, comparative information is necessary to determine the most relevant forms to incorporate into clinical practice. Purpose: To determine the utilization and responsiveness of common PRO tools in studies involving patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair or operative management of glenohumeral instability. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: A systematic review of rotator cuff and instability studies from multiple databases was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Means and SDs of each PRO tool utilized, study sample sizes, and follow-up durations were collected. The responsiveness of each PRO tool compared with other PRO tools was determined by calculating the effect size and relative efficiency (RE). Results: After a full-text review of 238 rotator cuff articles and 110 instability articles, 81 studies and 29 studies met the criteria for final inclusion, respectively. In the rotator cuff studies, 25 different PRO tools were utilized. The most commonly utilized PRO tools were the Constant (50 studies), visual analog scale (VAS) for pain (44 studies), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES; 39 studies), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; 20 studies), and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH; 13 studies) scores. The ASES score was found to be more responsive than all scores including the Constant (RE, 1.94), VAS for pain (RE, 1.54), UCLA (RE, 1.46), and DASH (RE, 1.35) scores. In the instability studies, 16 different PRO tools were utilized. The most commonly used PRO tools were the ASES (13 studies), Rowe (10 studies), Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI; 8 studies), VAS for pain (7 studies), UCLA (7 studies), and Constant (6 studies) scores. The Rowe score was much more responsive than both the ASES (RE, 22.84) and the Constant (RE, 33.17) scores; however, the ASES score remained more responsive than the Constant (RE, 1.93), VAS for pain (RE, 1.75), and WOSI (RE, 0.97) scores. Conclusion: Despite being frequently used in the research community, the Constant score may be less clinically useful as it was less responsive. Additionally, it is a greater burden on the provider because it requires objective strength and range of motion data to be gathered by the clinician. In contrast, the ASES score was highly responsive after rotator cuff repair and requires only subjective patient input. Furthermore, separate PRO scoring methods appear to be necessary for patients undergoing rotator cuff repair and surgery for instability as the instability-specific Rowe score was much more responsive than the ASES score.

Abstract:

Distributed power system (DPS) distributes power amongst processing units such as power electronics converters with DC system. Due to the increasing usage of power converters in DPS system, the system becomes unstable and the converter tends to draw constant power needed by the load of the system. Constant power load (CPL) characteristic has negative input impedance that could produce instability problems in the DC bus system. Passive damping network which consists of series RC damping circuit was connected in parallel to the DC bus system with the purpose to reduce the instability. The passive damper was designed, simulated with MATLAB/Simulink and verified experimentally with different values of CPL power levels and input voltage changes. The obtained simulation results show that simple DC system with constant power load was successfully stabilized by the installation of the passive damping network. The experimental set up was also conducted to validate of the proposed technique, and the obtained results were in excellent agreement with the theoretical parts of the project.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper concerns the study of instability of a generic compressible two-fluid model in the whole space R 3 , where the capillary pressure f ( α − ρ − ) = P + − P − ≠ 0 is taken into account. For the case that the capillary pressure is a strictly decreasing function near the equilibrium, namely, f ′ ( 1 ) < 0 , Evje et al (2016 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 221 1285–316) established global stability of the constant equilibrium state for the three-dimensional Cauchy problem under some smallness assumptions. Recently, Wu et al (2022 arXiv:2204.10706) proved global stability of the constant equilibrium state for the case P + = P − (corresponding to f ′ ( 1 ) = 0 ). We investigate instability of the constant equilibrium state for the case that the capillary pressure is a strictly increasing function near the equilibrium, namely, f ′ ( 1 ) > 0 . By employing the Hodge decomposition technique and making a detailed analysis of the Green’s function for the corresponding linearized system, we construct solutions of the linearized problem that grow exponentially in time in the Sobolev space Hk , thus leading to a global instability result for the linearized problem. Moreover, with the help of this global linear instability result together with a local existence theorem of classical solutions to the original nonlinear system, we can show instability of the nonlinear problem in the sense of Hadamard by carefully analysing the properties of the semigroup. Therefore, our results show that for the case f ′ ( 1 ) > 0 , the constant equilibrium state of the two-fluid model is globally linearly unstable and locally nonlinearly unstable in the sense of Hadamard, which is different from the cases f ′ ( 1 ) < 0 (Evje et al 2016 Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal. 221 1285–316) and P + = P − (corresponding to f ′ ( 1 ) = 0 ) (Wu et al 2022 arXiv:2204.10706) where the constant equilibrium state of the two-fluid model was proved to be globally nonlinearly stable.

Abstract:

A nonlinear Schrödinger equation for the envelope of two-dimensional gravity–capillary waves propagating at the free surface of a vertically sheared current of constant vorticity is derived. In this paper we extend to gravity–capillary wave trains the results of Thomas et al. (Phys. Fluids, 2012, 127102) and complete the stability analysis and stability diagram of Djordjevic & Redekopp (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 79, 1977, pp. 703–714) in the presence of vorticity. The vorticity effect on the modulational instability of weakly nonlinear gravity–capillary wave packets is investigated. It is shown that the vorticity modifies significantly the modulational instability of gravity–capillary wave trains, namely the growth rate and instability bandwidth. It is found that the rate of growth of modulational instability of short gravity waves influenced by surface tension behaves like pure gravity waves: (i) in infinite depth, the growth rate is reduced in the presence of positive vorticity and amplified in the presence of negative vorticity; (ii) in finite depth, it is reduced when the vorticity is positive and amplified and finally reduced when the vorticity is negative. The combined effect of vorticity and surface tension is to increase the rate of growth of modulational instability of short gravity waves influenced by surface tension, namely when the vorticity is negative. The rate of growth of modulational instability of capillary waves is amplified by negative vorticity and attenuated by positive vorticity. Stability diagrams are plotted and it is shown that they are significantly modified by the introduction of the vorticity.

Abstract:

Health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) measures must detect clinically important changes over time and between different patient subgroups. Forty-three patients (32 M, 13 F; mean age = 26.00 ± 8.19 years) undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair completed three validated shoulder questionnaires (Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment form (ASES), Constant score) preoperatively, and at 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Responsiveness and discriminant validity was assessed between those with a satisfactory outcome and those with (1) a major recurrence of instability, (2) a single episode of subluxation, (3) any postoperative episode of instability. Eight (20%) patients reported recurrent instability. Compared to baseline, the WOSI detected improvement at the 6- (P<0.001) and 12-month (P=0.011) evaluations. The ASES showed improvement at 6 months (P=0.003), while the Constant score did not report significant improvement until 12 months postoperatively (P=0.001). Only the WOSI detected differential shoulder function related to shoulder instability. Those experiencing even a single episode of subluxation reported a 10% drop in their WOSI score, attaining the previously established minimal clinically important difference (MCID). Those experiencing a frank dislocation or multiple episodes of subluxation reported a 20% decline. The WOSI allows better discrimination of the severity of postoperative instability symptoms following arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract The paper is concerned with the rheological study of gels, complex materials which are characterised by an internal network structure developed in viscous liquids. This category of materials exhibits in viscometric motion a yield state at a critical value of the applied shear stress. The yield shear stress defines the plateau behaviour in the steady flow curve. The creeping experiments and the dynamics of the Oldroyd’s 3 constants model put in evidence the connection between the loss of stability of the network structure and the coexisting strain rates at a constant shear stress. The correlation between theory, numerical simulations and experiments are established. All the results are qualitatively consistent with the statement that the concept of yield stress is ’natural defined‘ in the context of the pure material (structural) instability (i.e. instability at zero Reynolds number) of constitutive relations with non-monotone flow curve.

Abstract:

A laboratory study of the exchange of two fluids of different density through a constant-width channel with an underwater sill has enabled us to study Holmboe's instability in greater detail than has been possible in mixing-layer experiments. The internal hydraulics of the exchange flow are such that we have been able to observe the initiation of instability, the development and behaviour of both symmetric and asymmetric Holmboe instabilities, and the suppression of the instability at bulk Richardson numbers above about 0.7. A number of stability criteria resulting from previous numerical investigations have been verified experimentally. Our laboratory measurements are consistent with theoretical predictions of wave speed and wavenumber.

Abstract:

AbstractThe modulational instability associated with propagation of an intense laser pulse through a transversely magnetized plasma is investigated in the presence of collisional effects. The source-dependent expansion method for analyzing the wave equation is employed. The dispersion relation is obtained and modulational instability and its growth rate are studied. It is shown that in the absence of collisional effects the modulational instability is restricted to the small wavenumber region and the constant magnetic field reduces the growth rate of the instability. In contrast, in the collisional plasma, there is no upper limit of wavenumber for the existence of modulational instability. In addition, in this case, the growth rate of instability increases as the collision frequency goes up.
