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.

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.

A unified approach to charged-fluid distributions in general relativity
SummaryThe exact solutions for a charged perfect fluid are derived. The general analytical solution obtained depends on an arbitrary function of one of the space coordinates. As an illustration of the proposed method, the solution for a charged infinite plane has been obtained.

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.

On improvement of charge resolution of cosmic ray particles using a cellulose nitrate plastic detector
Abstract By employing improved procedures of measurement and analysis we have been able to obtain good charge resolution for stopping cosmic ray nuclei with Z ⩽30 in a cellulose nitrate detector. In a particular, it has been found that ( V t V b ) provides a much more reliable measure of ionisation loss than cone length. A charge resolution of 0.2 charge units for nuclei with Z ≲20 and of 0.3 charge units for nuclei with Z > 20 has been achieved in the present experiment.

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.

K-shell fluorescence yield of Cs
A new technique has been developed in the measurement of the K-shell fluorescence yield of cesium from the analysis of the sum peaks observed with a high resolution intrinsic Ge detector. The value found is ..omega../sub k/(Cs) = 0.896(16), which is in good agreement with the fitted value of Bambynek et al.
