Cosmological models in generalized scalar-tensor theory with cosmological term and bulk viscosity
Exponential and power law solutions for homogeneous cosmological modelshave been discussed in a generalized scalar-tensor theory where both thecosmological term Λ and coupling parameter ω are taken tobe functions of the scalar field φ, along with the bulk viscousstress of the cosmic fluid. Assuming simple relationships of the scalarfield with the cosmological term and the coupling parameter, all thesolutions are studied in Dicke's revised units. By use of a conformaltransformation, the solutions are also expressed in atomic units.

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.

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.

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.

Intermittency and multiplicity moments of charged particles produced in 32S–Ag/Br interaction at 200 A GeV/c
The nature of nonstatistical fluctuations in the density distribution of singly charged particles produced in 32S–Ag/Br interactions at an incident momentum of 200 A GeV/c has been investigated. With the help of the nuclear photographic emulsion technique, the data were collected, and using different statistical methods of multiplicity moments these data have been analysed in terms of intermittency and fractal properties of one- and two-dimensional phase space distributions. Wherever possible, experimental results have been compared with the results obtained in other similar heavy-ion-induced experiments, as well as with those obtained from simulated events of the Lund Monte Carlo code FRITIOF. In some cases events simulated by generating (pseudo)random numbers have also been used for the purpose of comparison. The investigation shows the presence of weak intermittency in one dimension (1D) that is consistent with self-similarity in the density distribution. In two dimensions (2D), anisotropy in the distributions along longitudinal and transverse phase space variables indicates that self-affinity, rather than self-similarity in the distributions, is responsible for the observed behaviour. From the analysis of factorial correlators and oscillatory multiplicity moments, the presence of a few-particle short-range correlation has also been established. In almost all cases, the simulated interactions fail to replicate the experimental results.

Ring and jet-like structures and two-dimensional intermittency in nucleus–nucleus collisions at 200AGeV/c
Abstract We have investigated the presence of ring and/or jet-like structures in the angular emission of secondary charged mesons (shower tracks) coming out of 16O–Ag/Br and 32S–Ag/Br interactions, each at an incident momentum of 200 A GeV / c . Nuclear photographic emulsion technique has been used to collect the experimental data. The experimental results have been compared with the results simulated by Monte Carlo method. The analysis indicates presence of ring and jet-like structures in the experimental data beyond statistical noise. This kind of jet structure is expected to give rise to a strong two-dimensional ( 2 d ) intermittency. The self-affine behaviour of 2d scaled factorial moments (SFM) has therefore been investigated and the strength of 2d intermittency has been determined. For each set of data the 2d results have been compared with the respective one-dimensional ( 1 d ) intermittency results.

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.

Multifractal study of singly charged particles produced in S-32 induced Ag/Br interactions at CERN
In this contribution, we describe an investigation of the fractal nature of non-statistical fluctuations in the density distribution of singly charged secondary particles produced in 32S-Ag/Br interactions in emulsion target at incident energy of 200A GeV. The experimental results have been compared with those obtained from an event sample simulated by the Lund Monte Carlo code FRITIOF. Besides obtaining the fractal dimensions and a smooth multifractal spectrum, show that the results can be used to determine universal parameters such as the Levy index, and the multifractal specific heat.

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.
