He was formally invited as a visiting scholar at the University of California-Berkeley and Harvard University during 2004-2005. He received the “Certificate of Achievement” in 2003 for his contribution to BISC FLINT-CIBI International Joint Workshop on Soft Computing for Internet and Bioinformatics from the World-renowned scientist and inventor of Fuzzy Logic, Professor Emeritus Lotfi A. Zadeh, at the University of California- Berkeley. His research interest is in Brownian motion, statistical physics, and general molecular theory of heat.
Abstract:
I have recently discovered a mathematical error in Albert Einstein’s derivation of equation =2() (Equation 28 in his paper, k and c are universal constants for ideal gas law and Stefan-Boltzmann law). Because of this mathematical error in the equation, his prediction of (0.420/T) for the order of magnitude of the radiation wavelengths is incorrect. I have derived the correct form of equation [28] given in his original 1904 paper, and calculated the new value for the order of magnitude of the radiation wavelengths as (0.263/T). This new value is based on the solution of the first order differential equation,for the value of Ä’. The correct value of the order of magnitude of the radiation wavelengths is 0.263/T. Correcting this mathematical error indeed shows that Einstein’s prediction for the order of magnitude of the radiation wavelengths is more accurate than he thought during his life time.

Elena Tobisch
J Kepler University Linz, Austria
Title: Nonlinear resonance analysis
Biography:
Elena Tobisch has graduated from Lomonosov’s Moscow State University in Number Theory, and has completed her PhD (Russia) and Habilitation (Austria) in Mathematical Physics. She is the Head of the Group for Nonlinear Resonance Analysis and has been awarded many prizes including V I Vernadsky Medal, 2009; Doctor H C, 2012; MiA-Award 2013. She owns one patent, has published over 100 papers in reputed journals and a few books and book chapters, including monograph published by Cambridge University Press. She created a new field of science thus allowing for the first time to explain many known physical phenomena, e.g. intra-seasonal oscillations in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Abstract:
Description of the universe in the scientific paradigm is based on conceptions of action and reaction. The main question then is, what sort of reaction should be expected to this or that action. Intuitively we expect bigger reaction to bigger action, and this is mostly the case. However, there exists a remarkable exception-the phenomenon of resonance first described by Galileo Galilei in 1638: “one can confer motion upon even a heavy pendulum which is at rest by simply blowing against it; by repeating these blasts with a frequency which is the same as that of the pendulum one can impart considerable motion”. Nowadays resonance is generally regarded as a red thread which runs through almost every branch of physics; without resonance we wouldn't have radio, television, music, etc. Horrible destructions due to the occurrence of resonance in a particular system are also well known. The demand for a good mathematical description allowing to predict the appearance of a resonance and to deduce its quantitative characteristics, is obvious. Linear resonances are easily treatable by the linear Fourier analysis while for the description of nonlinear resonances a new branch of the mathematical physics has been recently developed (a book of speaker): “Nonlinear Resonance Analysis”, with its own theory, computational methods, applications and open questions. In this lecture I shall demonstrate how nonlinear resonance analysis can be applied to a number of real systems, including large-scale phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere and novel wave turbulent regimes, and explains a range of laboratory experiments.

Ãlvaro Q Valenzuela
University of Chile, Chile
Title: Classical interpretation of quantum phenomena
Biography:
Álvaro Q Valenzuela obtained his BSc in Engineering Sciences in 1974, and Electrical Engineering degree in 1977, at the University of Chile, where he taught electromagnetic fields and related subjects for more than two decades. In 1980, he joined the Chilean Air Force as a Civil Servant, where he is currently working. He has served abroad in South Africa, England and France, participating in the development of the first three Chilean satellites. In 1998 he obtained his MSc degree with distinction on Satellite Engineering at the University of Surrey. In 1994 he initiated independent research on classical extended electron models, specializing in the time invariant solutions of Maxwell equations in toroidal coordinates. The main findings of his research are summarized in the paper “The Revenge of Old Classical Physics: No Space for Photons or Relativity”, published by Galilean Electrodynamics, September-October 2009 issue.
Abstract:
As an introductory remark it is clarified that in this paper the term “classical physics”, refers exclusively to Newton´s and Maxwell equations, and does not consider special or general relativity. In the first part of this work it is shown, that the well-known claims about the ineptitude of classical physics in the microscopic domain are false, by giving simple classical interpretations for the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect the radiated spectra of the hydrogen atom and Planck´s radiation law. It is concluded that the falsehood of the previous claims, is merely a necessary – but not a sufficient –condition for the applicability of classical physics to quantum phenomena. In the second part of this work, a formal classical theory for the stable (force-free) extended particle is developed, which by considering electromagnetic and gravitational forces, leads to a nonlinear equation for the electric, magnetic and gravitational potentials. Some solutions of the basic equations for unbounded media are presented. The boundary value problem for the isolated elementary particle is formulated, and the numerical and analytical techniques that are currently being applied, in an attempt to find a solution in toroidal coordinates by successive over relaxation methods, are reviewed. It is concluded that the solution of this boundary value problem is crucial to determine the applicability of classical physics to quantum phenomena. On one hand, if it can be shown that no solution exists, then this is a rigorous proof of its inapplicability. On the other hand, if a solution is found, then to be applicable, it must also predict the mass and the spin of the electron and the proton.

Abstract:
Our starting point is a wave packet of a quantum particle, which, for the agreement of the group velocities in the coordinate and momentum spaces with the Hamilton equations, instead of the Hamiltonian in the time dependent phase, includes the Lagrangian. We consider the interaction of such a particle with an external field, with potentials conjugated to time (the scalar potential), and to the spatial coordinates (the vector potential), and a quantum relativistic principle, asserting that the time-dependent phase of a quantum particle is an invariant for an arbitrary change of coordinates. For this field, we obtain the Lorentz equation of the particle-field interaction, the Faraday-Maxwell equation and the Gauss-Maxwell equations for the field components of the two potentials, and the Ampère-Maxwell equation for an electromagnetic field. For a nonrelativistic case, we obtain a Schrödinger equation with a Hamiltonian including the rest mass. With this equation, we obtain the spin as a characteristic of the particle wave function. From the group velocity of a particle wave packet, we obtain an acceleration, proportional to the Christoffel symbols, which take non-zero values only in the curved space of a gravitational field.

Title: Numerical study of interaction of vortex structures in plasmas and fluid
Biography:
Vasily Yu Belashov has completed his PhD in Radiophysics and Doctor of Science in Physics and Mathematics. His main fields includes: theory and numerical simulation of the dynamics of multi-dimensional nonlinear waves, solitons and vortex structures in plasmas and other dispersive media. Presently, he is Professor in the Kazan Federal University. He was Coordinator of studies on the International Program Solar Terminator (1987-1992), and took part in Programs WITS/WAGS and STEP.

Theory and Applications”, Magadan, NEISRI FEB RAS, 1997.
Abstract:
The results of numerical study of evolution and interaction of the vortex structures in a continuum and specifically, in plasmas and fluids in 2D approach, when the Euler-type equations are valid, are presented. The set of the model equations describing the continuum or quasi-particles with Coulomb interaction models, where r is a vorticity or charge density and y is a stream function or potential for inviscid fluid and guiding-centre plasma, respectively, and H is the Hamiltonian, was considered. For numerical simulation the CD method specially modified was used. The results showed that for some conditions the interaction is nontrivial and can lead to formation of complex forms of vorticity regions, such as the vorticity filaments and sheets, and also can be ended to form the turbulent field. The theoretical explanation of the effects is given on the basis of the generalized critical parameter which determines qualitative character of interaction. We investigated the applications of the results to dynamics of vortex structures in the atmosphere, hydrosphere and plasma, namely: evolution of the cyclonic type synoptic and ocean vortices which can be considered as a vorticity front, and interactions in the vortex-dust particles system, and also dynamics of charged filaments which represent streams of charged particles in a uniform magnetic field in 2D model of plasma of Taylor-McNamara. Our approach may be effective in studying of the atmospheric and Alfvén vortex dynamics, and useful for the interpretation of effects associated with turbulent processes in fluids and plasmas.

Title: Three-dimensional self-modulated beam dynamics of a non-laminar, ultrarelativistic beam in a non-relativistic cold plasma
Biography:
Abstract:
Three dimensional self-modulated dynamics of a relativistic charged particle beam is reviewed within the context of the theory of plasma wake field excitation. The self-consistent description of the beam dynamics is provided by coupling the Vlasov equation with a Poisson-type equation relating the plasma wake potential to the beam density. An analysis of the beam envelope self-modulation is then carried out and the criteria for the occurrence of the instability are discussed thereby.

Abstract:
An irreversible phenomenon are characterized by a monotonic parameter of (universal) time t. According to philosophers, time cannot be defined without a reference to itself. We contest this because time is also a monotonic function of any irreversible parameter, from which time can be defined as well. Since universe expansion is a commonly accepted irreversible process, the average density of the universe is a good candidate. Therefore we can define . Then the choice of the monotonic (and continuous) function f is open. In the absence of additional requirement, we can defnine A time and another time . Additional requirements will come from some physical hypothesis, such as inertia priniciple. It is a physical axiom, hopefully coherent with our everyday intuition and vocabulary. Every alternative definition of a time will lie on different physical rules and lead to different physical equations. Simpler than defining time is switching from one time to another. One can chose such a tranformation f2 (we will say mapping) in order that the impact on our equations is minimal at the human scale, which means in order that the two times t and T coincide over the short period of our existence. I will propose such a tranformation. It has amazing effects: for instance, within time T, the age of the universe becomes infinite. Beside a playful attempt to introduce some doubt in the apparently safest conceptual areas, the goal of this talk is to get the feedback of experts in astrophysical and comological models about the connexions they can infer between such time manipulation and the fundamentals of their models.

Title: Computation within models of ZF minus the postulate of infinity
Biography:
Eliza Wajch completed her PhD from Lodz University in 1988 and her habilitation in Poland in 1998. She is a Mathematician working on topology, axiomatic foundations of mathematics and applied mathematics. She attends seminars on foundations of physics at the Centre of Theoretical Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. She is an Author or Co-author of over 30 articles and one book. Presently she is working as an Associate Professor at the Institute of Mathematics and Physics of Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities in Siedlce, Poland.
Abstract:
A significant progress in the development of an axiomatic quasi–set theory (QST) and its application in quantum physics, where indistinguishability and non-individuality appears has been made by Décio Krause and others. I offer a sketch of a modification of QST to quasi-classes theory (QCT) such that proper quasi-classes can be considered as existing objects, while ZF minus the postulate of infinity can be treated as a sub theory of QCT. It is not claimed that infinite collections certainly exist in QCT. None of the known forms of the axiom of choice is an axiom of QCT. Every quasi-set of QCT is a quasi-class of QCT. To avoid inconsistencies, it is assumed that a quasi-class which is not a quasi-set cannot be an element of a quasi-class. Notions of D-countability and D-uncountability that need not refer to numbers can be considered in QCT. The primitive concept of a quasi-cardinal (qc) in QST can be investigated deeper in QCT than in QST. Intuitively, qc (x) is a cardinal number of ZFC which is assigned to a quasi-set x to stand for the ‘quantity’ of elements of x. New arguments that the concept of qc is not precise enough have been found recently. Modifications of qc are needed to give more satisfactory answers to questions about, in a sense, how large a quasi-set can be and how many elements it can have.

Title: Making magnetic monopole out of ordinary fields
Biography:
Anatoly Shabad is educated from Moscow State University (1956-1962). He acquired his Candidate of Science (1968) and Doctor of Science (1986) degrees in P N Lebedev Phys. Inst., Russian Academy of Sciences. He is affiliated with this institute since 1965, now as Principal Researcher of I E Tamm Dept. of Theor Phys. He served two terms as a Deputy to the Parliament of the Russian Federation, 1990-1996, was a supporter of the Yeltsin-Gaidar reforms. His works are in the fields of quantum mechanics, optics, quantum theory of gauge fields and quantum plasma theory. His main achievements relate to nonlinear effects associated with quantum electrodynamics with strong external fields. Among these are the photon capture by magnetic field of a pulsar, accompanied by formation of a mixed state between the photon and the positronium atom, renormalization of the magnetic and electric dipoles of elementary particles due to the self-interaction of their electromagnetic fields, presence of a magnetic response to an electric source in external fields, especially in the form of a magnetic monopole. Also an upper bound possible value of the magnetic field is found to be supplied by the phenomenon of collapse of positronium in a strong magnetic field.
Abstract:
Since the ancient times, people have been wondering why there is no such thing as a magnetic pole, why every magnet, including the Earth itself, is a dipole with two poles, and why nobody succeeded to cut a magnetic dipole into two halves, carrying only one type of magnetic charge each, northern or southern. This fact becomes more interesting after one inspects the basic Maxwell equations of electrodynamics that readily admit inclusion of magnetic charges on the same ground as the well-known electric charges. However, Paul Dirac established that a magnetic monopole cannot exist alone: it must be supplemented by what is now called the Dirac string–an infinitely thin solenoid, which canalizes all the magnetic lines of force diverging to the monopole outwards. Later he established that quantum mechanics states that if at least one magnetic monopole exists in the whole world, all electric charges would have discrete values. If we accept the charge of the quark, the smallest constituent of matter, to present the necessary quantum of charge, the corresponding value of the magnetic charge would be tremendous. However, up to now no magnetic charge has been discovered anywhere in nature. The reason may be that the magnetic charge is a very special object, called a pseudo-scalar, the scalar that changes its sign under reflection in a mirror. No fundamental object of this sort is known, but it can be readily constructed as the scalar product of a magnetic and electric fields. Therefore, to build a magnetic monopole one might try to combine multiplicatively an electric monopole with these two fields. However, the classical electrodynamics of Maxwell and Faraday admits only linear combinations of fields, the fields are independent and they do not influence each other. The situation becomes different when quantum electrodynamics by Feynman and Schwinger comes into play. In that theory the quantum of electromagnetic field, photon, creates virtually a pair of electrically charged particles, electron and positron, that later annihilate back to a photon. But, while existing in the state of the charged particles, the photon might interact with other electromagnetic fields and with itself. This is how, in quantum theory, electromagnetic fields interact between themselves. Correspondingly, the modified Maxwell equations become non-linear already in the vacuum. If we place a point-like electric charge into a combination of constant electric and magnetic fields with non-zero scalar product between them, the non-linear Maxwell equations produce the magnetic response, which carries a single point-like magnetic charge. Unlike the Dirac monopole proper, this one, cooked of ordinary fields, is not spherically symmetrical. It has two Dirac strings stretched along the above electric and magnetic fields, which merge to one if these fields are parallel. However, this modified monopole cannot serve to establish the discreetness of electric charges in Dirac’s way. Hence the problem raised by his consideration remains unsolved, although a magnetic monopole has been made.

Title: Tritium permeation mechanism in fusion reactor fuel systems
Time : 11:00-11:35
Biography:
Takumi Chikada has completed his PhD in Engineering from The University of Tokyo, Japan in 2011, and soon started working as an Assistant Professor. He has been working at Shizuoka University as a Lecturer since 2014. His expertise is fusion reactor engineering, especially hydrogen isotope migration in materials. He has published more than 40 papers in reputed journals.
Abstract:
One of the critical issues in the fusion reactor fuel system is tritium permeation through structural materials. Tritium permeates fast through metal walls at elevated temperature, resulting in a crucial fuel loss and radiological hazard for the environment. Moreover, hydrogen dissolves in most metals with forming metal hydrides, leading to a degradation of mechanical properties of metal structural materials, as it is called hydrogen embrittlement. A promising solution to reduce tritium permeation to an acceptable level is to coat a thin film as a tritium permeation barrier (TPB). TPBs have been studied using ceramic coatings over several decades in the fusion reactor engineering research field. However, no appropriate coating materials or fabrication methods for practical applications have been determined. Our efforts have been dedicated to investigating hydrogen isotope permeation behaviors in TPBs using mainly metal oxide coatings for a decade. The hydrogen isotope permeation mechanism was elucidated, leading to the world's highest permeation reduction factor at elevated temperatures. The development of coating process toward plant-scale fabrication has also progressed using liquid phase methods. A multilayer structure has been recently investigated to make TPBs which have multiple functions: adhesion to structural materials in a wide operational temperature range, compatibility with corrosive materials, etc. Irradiation effects on tritium permeation in TPBs have been also studied using heavy-ions and a γ-ray source. In this presentation, achievements and current challenges for the research and development of TPBs are introduced.

Title: A hypothetical pre-fermion particle theory of everything
Biography:
Mike Lawrence completed his Physics degree at Bristol University and established Maldwyn Centre for Theoretical Physics in 1991 in Wales. He has published more than 11 papers in different Physics journals and produces a quarterly journal on progress at the centre.
Abstract:
A hypothetical pre-fermion particle theory of everything explaining the symmetric foundations of physics and why relativistic and quantum systems are different. Based on a single particle/anti-particle foundation and the background from which they emerge, the zoo of fermions, bosons, nucleons, photons and the observed universe are explained. The only two types of energy existing are treated identically and produce standard formulae, except where the missing component in current formulae is shown to be necessary to explain stable orbits. Matter and anti-matter are shown to be present in equal quantities and dark matter is shown as the same composite loop form as matter, but with immiscible symmetries due to different number of particle/anti-particle pairs in the composites. The emergence of the particle/anti-particles from merged to unmerged state is shown to lead to randomly distributed failed big bang events within our single universe through which our successful big bang is expanding. Viscosity in the background universe, comprising merged particle/anti-particle pairs, saps energy from all composite particles and produces the light speed terminal velocity of photons. The resultant viscosity red-shift needs to be accommodated within current estimates of the size, age and expansion rate of the universe. The viscosity of the background in sapping energy from all motion within it leads to an arrow of time, the second law of thermodynamics and the relativistic framework. Where the background is absent, in tunnels between entangled loops, there is no viscosity present and velocities above light speed are possible and the quantum framework exists.

Biography:
Hans Deyssenroth studied Electrical Engineering at the TH Karlsruhe and Physics at the University of Basel. He worked as a Biometrician and led an IT department in the pharmaceutical industry. After retirement, he became actively engaged in challenging the validity of the Theories of Relativity.
Abstract:
In physics, mathematical models verify observed phenomena with high accuracy but do not explain the underlying principles. Furthermore, are these mathematical models physically sound? Is it reasonable that mass can increase just by a transformation of coordinates? How can a particle behave like a wave? Remember, the mathematically correct epicycle model also led to incorrect conclusions in Physics in ancient times. Now is the time to study physical mechanisms e.g. in the Yokto range (10-24 m), which have the potential to explain observations in the quantum world, rather than continuously extending mathematical models. Unfortunately, current theories are taken for granted and scientists are too averse to challenge accepted norms. Disproving the Theories of Relativity offers an opportunity to address this impasse and could motivate scientists to open their mind to other ideas. In this talk I propose an experiment, which could substantiate that the expected symmetry of observations for the Relativistic Doppler effect does not exist because the effect can also be interpreted as a geometric mean of classical Doppler effects. In this case the principle of relativity would not be valid, which demonstrates that the mathematical basis of the Theories of Relativity is incorrect. I will also present some ideas to explain these mechanisms.

Abstract:
We study elemental concentrations in some archaeological samples, linked to interest in essential element homeostasis and uptake of potentially harmful elements; the study of elemental concentrations in ancient skeletal remains can potentially be linked with modern studies, providing a reference to high exposure levels no longer common today. The samples, were obtained from historical area which discovered in east of Saudi Arabia at 1977 G, Called Al-RAKKAH and eight archaeological artefacts fired clay were recovered. Using a measurement arrangement consisting of a low-energy mini-X-ray generator and a Si-PIN detector, results are obtained from periosteal concentrations, the influence of the post-mortem environment being clearly differentiated from in vivo uptake. Also, by using an HPGe detector gamma-ray spectrometer, the activity concentrations of 226Ra 232Th and 40K were found in surface soil samples ranged from 17.4±1.2 Bq/kg to 28.3±2.3 Bq/kg with an average value of 23±1.6 Bq/kg, ranging from 1.1±1.8 Bq/kg to 81.0±1.7 Bq/kg with the average value 20±1.4 Bq/kg and from 218±11 Bq/kg to 255±18 Bq/kg, with the mean value of 233±12 Bq/kg respectively. The mean radium equivalent (Raeq) and outdoor radiation hazard index (Hex) for the area under study were determined as 69.52 Bq/kg and 0.16 respectively. The total absorbed dose rate due to three primordial radionuclides lies in the range of 17.74-72.24 nGy·h−1 with a mean of 32.69 nGy·h−1, which yields total annual effective dose of 0.37 mSv·y−1 Thermo Scientific Quant’X EDXRF spectrometer were used also to determine the concentrations of the elements Si, Al, Fe, Ti, Ca, Na, S, Pb, Sn, As and Zn. as major, trace and toxic elements. We hope that the data presented here will be useful to those dealing with Portland cement, phosphate fertilizer chemistry and related fields.

Abstract:
Application, in the research spent by the author, of laws of classical mechanics to mechanical models of interactions of spherical sources and the drains radiating and absorbing streams of material particles of an ether, in full conformity with views of classics of natural sciences Faraday and Maxwell have allowed for the first time on a mechanical basis:
To receive more generally the equations practically all known physical interactions in the analytical integrated form and to prove, thereby, mechanical essence of the physical phenomena;
To explain: cyclic evolutionary sequence of development of objects of material systems; the reasons of an inclination of axes of rotation of planets and the Sun to a plane ecliptic and discrepancies of axes of rotation with magnetic axes; the pear-shaped form of planets and the Sun; the mechanical nature levitation John Searle’s disks and other similar researches; the reasons of a paradoxically of modern electrodynamics; negative results of experiences Michelson - Morley application Newton's the corpuscular theory; effect of "increase in relativistic weight», as result of incorrectly interpreted experiment and so on.
The method essence consists in definition of distribution of speeds and accelerations of streams of particles of an ether by means of superposition of fields of speeds and accelerations on surfaces of co-operating spherical sources and drains. Applying Newton's second law (the differential law of mechanical movement) and Newton's third law (equalities of action and counteraction) to streams of particles of an ether and, integrating as a whole on a surface of a spherical source or a drain in the set direction, we receive the equations of sizes of the forces operating between co-operating spherical objects.

Title: Theoretical confirmation of the gravitation new origin having a dipolar electrical nature with Coulomb’s law corrected
Biography:
Ioan Has completed his licence at Technical University of Constructions from Bucharest in 1965, where the Physics Course was delivered by Prof. Nicolae Barbulescu. He obtained PhD degree in Geotechnical & Foundation field, from TUCB, in 1979. He followed a Doctoral Seminar in 1975 at International Mechanics Centre from Udine, Italy.

Abstract:
In papers, one demonstrates that the electrical dipole force FD between two electrical dipoles may exist at any distance r, by reciprocal orientation. But considering actual force FC, given by Coulomb law, such dipole force FD depends on a term in 1/r4, being negligible compared to the gravitational force FN, which in Newton’s law depends on 1/r2. To obtain the principal term in 1/r2, for dipole interaction FD, it was necessary and sufficiently to admit a hypothesis which considers a new Coulomb law force FCC, as a series of terms of powers of r, including a new term, –ln r. With this force FCC, for dipole interaction new force FDC, an expression having the principal term in 1/r2 results, as in Newton’s law. In order to verify the above hypothesis, numerical checking for the new dipole force FDC was performed, utilizing actual electric permeability, the constant ε0 corrected. These calculations made for an astronomical distance (109m), showed a good agreement (relative ratio R=FN/FDC ≈ 0.626) between the force FN and the dipole force FDC obtained with the corrected Coulomb law. On the basis of this gravity theory, some important consequences result, such as the inexistence of the gravitational waves, of the black holes, of the space gravitational curvature, and of the big-bang. This gravity theory with more than 4 terms of series, yield the four known forces of nature, unifying them. The new gravity theory is possible only in quantum environment admitting the presence of an ether.

Title: Strongly-correlated electrons in two dimensions
Biography:
Sergey Kravchenko has competed his graduation from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology in 1982 and got his PhD from Institute of Solid State Physics in Chernogolovka, Russia, in 1998. He is mostly famous for his discovery of the metallic state and metal-insulator transition in two dimensions which was listed among the 50 main discoveries in Mesoscopic Physics of the last century in American Physical Society in 1999 (“A Century of Mesoscopic Physics: 1899 - 1999”). At present, he is a Professor of Physics at Northeastern University, Boston, USA.
Abstract:
The spin susceptibility of strongly correlated electrons in a low-disorder two-dimensional electron system exhibits a sharp increase tending to a divergence at a finite electron density. Surprisingly, this behavior is due to the divergence of the effective mass rather than that of the g-factor. Our results provide clear evidence for an interaction-induced phase transition to a new phase that may be a precursor phase or a direct transition to the long sought-after Wigner solid.

Abstract:
We study the problem of dynamics of the 2D and 3D solitary waves in complex media with the varying time and space dispersive parameters . For example, studying of the evolution of the 3D FMS waves in magnetized plasma, which is described by the KP equation where , when b is a function of the Alfvén velocity vÐ=f[B(t,r),n(t,r)] (n is the plasma density) and the angle q: . Similar situation has place for the ion-acoustic (IA) waves in collisional dusty plasma when in the absence of dissipation and dust-charge variation the dispersion law are where is the IA speed in dissipationless plasma with constant-charge dust. It is clear that the dispersion will be variable with variation in time and space of ratio of plasma components (for example, in case of heterogeneous distribution of dust in space). In this case the corresponding equations are similar to that for IA surface waves. We present here the results of numerical simulation of the solitary waves in the KP model distracting from a specific type of medium for different model functions b which are: sharp "break" of ; 2) gradual change of "height" ; and "oscillations" of . As a result we have obtained the different types of stable and unstable solutions including the solutions of the mixed soliton - non-soliton type for different characters of dispersion variations.

He is now through social network in contact with others pursuing this line of research.
Abstract:
A significant part of the history of physics is the history of atomism: the idea that physical reality is made from particles. After the events of Galileo in the Copernican Revolution the idea of atomism had to be reconsidered, and with Newton came the idea of atomism as point-particles. This was the idea that was developed by Boscovich in his unified theory published in 1758. This became the basis of modern atomic physics and Einstein’s unified field theory investigations. This was taught to physics students up to early 20th Century, and unfortunately after World War 1 and 2 the physics curriculum was revised by having Boscovich (and related material) trimmed from what was taught to make room for such new subjects as Quantum mechanics and Einstein’s relativity. This in my view meant that most physicists have been given a bad understanding of the basics of physics resulting in them making numerous miscomprehensions. There is now a tradition of scientists working on Unified field theory (with its origins with Boscovich) that lies mostly outside of mainstream tradition.

Title: Investigation of conditions for electron equilibrium establishing in thermoluminescent dosimeter
Biography:

Her interests are Dosimetry Calculations, Radiation Protection Dosimetry and Radiation Dosimetry and Anatomical Modeling for Various Applications in Health Physics.
Abstract:
The aim of this study is discussing about how to establish the electron equilibrium (EE) in simulation of Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD) by Monte Carlo code. LiF TLD was modeled in MCNP code and the photon energy of 1 MeV was considered. Due to the small volume of TLDs (~ 3×3×0.89 mm3), simulations are extremely time-consuming and that is a problem in Monte Carlo simulation. One way to reduce the run-time is to establish the EE, therefore one can use kerma approximation instead of the absorbed dose calculation in the MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code) code. For this purpose, LiF TLD was surrounded by the different wrapping materials (Aluminium and Teflon), therefore LiF TLD was surrounded by AL and Teflon. The thickness (and volume) of these wrappings were obtained 0.329 cm (0.082 cm3) and 0.339 cm (0.217 cm3) for Aluminium and Teflon, respectively. However, finding suitable thickness for different materials at each energy is a time consuming process in this way. The second way to establish the EE is placing a huge volume in the front of TLD. For this purpose one LiF TLD was placed on the chest and the other TLD on the back of the phantom (the anatomical models of the human body). Results show that when phantom was irradiated from the front the EE is established for back TLD and vice versa. In this way, the establishing of the EE is dependent on the position of TLD. The third way is enlarging the TLD volume and replacing LiF by air as TLD material. Results indicate that by increasing the volume from 10-3 till 105 cm3, the absorbed dose remains constant in air TLD ,but it decreases in LiF TLD; whereas for very small volume the results of two TLDs are consistent with each other. In this way, the EE is established without any restriction.

Abstract:
Thermal irreversibility in DC magnetic measurements under magnetic field (H) is readily observed in ferromagnetic (FM) or antiferromagnetic (AFM) materials, in spin-glasses and in superconducting systems. In all standard cases the zero-field-cooled curves (ZFC) lie below field-cooled (FC) branches (FC>ZFC) up to a typical characteristic temperature corresponding to the various physical states. An unusual magnetic behavior where the FC branches cross the ZFC curves (ZFC>FC) has been recently observed in three unrelated systems: (i) Inhomogeneous commercial and fabricated amorphous carbon powders synthesized with sulfur (a-CS) which exhibit pronounced peaks in their virgin ZFC curves at TP ~50-80 K. Around these peaks the FC curves cross the ZFC plots thus at a certain temperature range ZFC>FC. This complex behavior is irreproducible and disappears in the second ZFC run. (ii) In a chiral-based magnetic memory device where the main components are: α-helix L-polyalanine adsorbed on gold, Al2O3 and Co or Ni layers. The peculiar ZFC>FC behavior is observed in the hard direction only. (iii) In a pathological liver tissues taken from a patient with hematological malignancies. This peculiar phenomenon cannot be ascribed to extra magnetic phases (oxygen or magnetite), and is believed to be an intrinsic property of the three unrelated systems. We may assume that in the ground state the intrinsic magnetic moments in each system are randomly distributed. In the first ZFC runs, low H, allign these moments to flip along its direction in a FM manner up to TP. Above TP, an antiparallel exchange (AFM) coupling is more favored and in the next ZFC and FC processes the net magnetic moments are lower and crosse the ZFC branchs. Alternatively, we may speculate that all systems are in the so called two-state system separated by a certain energy barrier.
