Viscous cosmological models with particle creation in Brans-Dicke theory
The effect of bulk viscosity on the evolution of the spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in the context of open thermodynamical systems, which allow particle creation, is analyzed within the framework of Brans-Dicke theory. Particle creation and bulk viscosity have been considered as separated irreversible processes. To accommodate the viscous pressure and creation pressure, which is associated with creation of matter out of gravitational field, the energy-momentum tensor is modified. Dynamical behaviour of the models have been discussed.

Charged fluid distribution in higher dimensional spheroidal space-time
A general solution of Einstein field equations corresponding to a charged fluid distribution on the background of higher dimensional spheroidal space-time is obtained. The solution generates several known solutions for superdense star having spheroidal space-time geometry.

Product spaceV2xV2 and plane fronted waves in general projective relativity
In this paper the field equations of General Projective Relativity have been investigated in the product space ofV2xV2 space-time (Bertotti, 1959) and plane fronted metric of Peres (1959). It is shown that wave solutions exist in both space-times. In Peres' space we mention two solutions which can be interpreted as plane-monochromatic waves and wave packets, respectively.

HIGHER DIMENSIONAL COSMOLOGICAL MODEL IN LYRA GEOMETRY: REVISITED
In this paper we have revisited the research work of Rahman and Bera22 on Kaluza–Klein cosmological model within the framework of Lyra Geometry. It has been shown that the empty universe model yields a power law relation without any assumption. The role of bulk viscosity on five-dimensional cosmological model is discussed. The physical behaviour of the models is examined in all cases.

Some cosmological models with constant deceleration parameter
SummaryBerman (1983) presented a law of variation of Hubble’s parameter that yields constant deceleration parameter models of the Universe. In this paper, Robertson-Walker models have been studied in Einstein’s theory with cosmological term and in cosmological theory based on Lyra’s geometry. Some simple models have been obtained. The necessary relations in each model have been derived, considering a perfect fluid.

Montage: a grid portal and software toolkit for science-grade astronomical image mosaicking
Montage is a portable software toolkit to construct custom, science-grade mosaics that preserve the astrometry and photometry of astronomical sources. The user specifies the dataset, wavelength, sky location, mosaic size, coordinate system, projection, and spatial sampling. Montage supports massive astronomical datasets that may be stored in distributed archives. Montage can be run on both single- and multi-processor computers, including clusters and grids. Standard grid tools are used to access remote data or run Montage on remote computers. This paper describes the architecture, algorithms, performance, and usage of Montage as both a software toolkit and a grid portal.

Anomalous behavior of the level density parameter in neutron and charged particle evaporation
The compound nucleus $^{76}\mathrm{Kr}*$ was populated at the excitation energy of $75\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MeV}$ and angular momentum of $39\ensuremath{\hbar}$ in fusion reactions with two complementary, mass-symmetric $(^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc})$ and mass-asymmetric $(^{12}\mathrm{C}+^{64}\mathrm{Zn})$ entrance channels. The neutron evaporation spectra were measured and compared with the predictions of statistical model calculations using the transmission coefficients for the spherical nuclei in the inverse absorption channel, the rotating liquid drop model moment of inertia, and the normal systematic value of $A∕8$ for the level density parameter $a$. The results for the mass-asymmetric reaction are found to be consistent with the predictions of the statistical model calculations. However, for the mass-symmetric reaction $(^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc})$, the experimental spectra are found to be harder than the theoretical neutron spectra and the statistical model calculations require a lower value of $A∕10$ for the parameter $a$ to reproduce the shape of the experimental spectra, indicating the neutron to be evaporated at higher temperature for the same excitation energy and angular momentum in symmetric system. According to the dynamical model, the formation time $(37\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}22}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{sec})$ of the compound nucleus for the symmetric $^{31}\mathrm{P}+^{45}\mathrm{Sc}$ system is significantly higher than that $(29\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}22}\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{sec})$ for the asymmetric $^{12}\mathrm{C}+^{64}\mathrm{Zn}$ system. This may probably lead to the formation of a temperature-equilibrated dinuclear complex that may be responsible for neutron emission at higher temperature in the case of the symmetric system.

Measurement of neutron multiplicity from fission of {sup 228}U and nuclear dissipation
Pre- and post-scission neutron multiplicities are measured at different excitation energies of the compound nucleus {sup 228}U populated using the {sup 19}F+{sup 209}Bi reaction. The measured yield of pre-scission and total neutrons are compared with the statistical model calculation for the decay of a compound nucleus. The statistical model calculations are performed using the Bohr-Wheeler transition state fission width as well as the dissipative dynamical fission width due to Kramers. Comparison between the measured and the calculated values shows that, while the Bohr-Wheeler fission width grossly underestimates the pre-scission neutron yield, a large amount of dissipation is required in the Kramers width to fit the experimental pre-scission multiplicities. Various factors contributing to the large excitation energy dependence of the fitted values of the dissipation coefficient are discussed.

Role of nuclear dissipation and entrance channel mass asymmetry in pre-scission neutron multiplicity enhancement in fusion-fission reactions
Pre-scission neutron multiplicities are measured for ${}^{12}\mathrm{C} + {}^{204}\mathrm{Pb}$ and ${}^{19}\mathrm{F} + {}^{197}\mathrm{Au}$ reactions at laboratory energies of 75\char21{}95 MeV for the $^{12}\mathrm{C}$ beam and 98\char21{}118 MeV for the $^{19}\mathrm{F}$ beam. The chosen projectile-target combinations in the present study lie on either side of the Businaro-Gallone mass asymmetry (${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{\mathrm{BG}}$) and populate the $^{216}\mathrm{Ra}$ compound nucleus. The dissipation strength is deduced after comparing the experimentally measured neutron yield with the statistical model predictions which contains the nuclear viscosity as a free parameter. Present results demonstrate the combined effects of entrance channel mass asymmetry and the dissipative property of nuclear matter on the pre-scission neutron multiplicity in fusion-fission reactions.
