Speed of sound and polytropic index in QCD matter

We investigate the speed of sound and polytropic index of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) matter in the full phase diagram based on a 3-flavor Polyakov-looped Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (pNJL) model. The speed of sound and polytropic index in isothermal and adiabatic cases all have a dip structure at the low chemical potential side of the chiral phase transition boundary, and these quantities reach their global minimum values at the critical endpoint (CEP) but are not completely zero, where the values in adiabatic are lightly greater than those in isothermal. Different from the speed of sound, the polytropic index also exists a peak around the chiral phase transition boundary. Along the hypothetical chemical freeze-out lines, the speed of sound rapidly decreases near the CEP, followed by a small spinodal behavior, while the polytropic index, especially in isothermal, exhibits a more pronounced and nearly closed to zero dip structure as it approaches the CEP.

Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) and Topic modeling: models, applications, a survey

Topic modeling is one of the most powerful techniques in text mining for data mining, latent data discovery, and finding relationships among data, text documents. Researchers have published many articles in the field of topic modeling and applied in various fields such as software engineering, political science, medical and linguistic science, etc. There are various methods for topic modeling, which Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is one of the most popular methods in this field. Researchers have proposed various models based on the LDA in topic modeling. According to previous work, this paper can be very useful and valuable for introducing LDA approaches in topic modeling. In this paper, we investigated scholarly articles highly (between 2003 to 2016) related to Topic Modeling based on LDA to discover the research development, current trends and intellectual structure of topic modeling. Also, we summarize challenges and introduce famous tools and datasets in topic modeling based on LDA.

A systematic framework to discover pattern for web spam classification

Web spam is a big problem for search engine users in World Wide Web. They use deceptive techniques to achieve high rankings. Although many researchers have presented the different approach for classification and web spam detection still it is an open issue in computer science. Analyzing and evaluating these websites can be an effective step for discovering and categorizing the features of these websites. There are several methods and algorithms for detecting those websites, such as decision tree algorithm. In this paper, we present a systematic framework based on CHAID algorithm and a modified string matching algorithm (KMP) for extract features and analysis of these websites. We evaluated our model and other methods with a dataset of Alexa Top 500 Global Sites and Bing search engine results in 500 queries.

Hydrodynamical Simulations of the Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 6782

NGC 6782 is an early-type barred spiral galaxy exhibiting a rich and complex morphology with multiple ring patterns. To provide a physical understanding of its structure and kinematical properties, two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations have been carried out. Numerical calculations reveal that the striking features in NGC 6782 can be reproduced provided that the gas flow is governed by the gravitational potential associated with a slowly rotating strong bar. In particular, the response of the gaseous disk to the bar potential leads to the excitation of spiral density waves at the inner Lindblad resonance giving rise to the appearance of a nearly circular nuclear ring with a pair of dust lanes. For a sufficiently strong bar potential, the inner 4:1 spiral density waves are also excited. The interaction of the higher harmonic waves with the waves excited at the inner Lindblad resonance and confined by the outer Lindblad resonance results in the observed diamond-shaped (or pointy oval) inner ring structure. The overall gas morphology and kinematical features are both well reproduced by the model provided that the pattern speed of the bar is $\sim 25$ km s$^{-1}$ kpc$^{-1}$.

On The Orbital Evolution of Jupiter Mass Protoplanet Embedded in A Self-Gravity Disk

We performed a series of hydro-dynamic simulations to investigate the orbital migration of a Jovian planet embedded in a proto-stellar disk. In order to take into account of the effect of the disk's self gravity, we developed and adopted an \textbf{Antares} code which is based on a 2-D Godunov scheme to obtain the exact Reimann solution for isothermal or polytropic gas, with non-reflecting boundary conditions. Our simulations indicate that in the study of the runaway (type III) migration, it is important to carry out a fully self consistent treatment of the gravitational interaction between the disk and the embedded planet. Through a series of convergence tests, we show that adequate numerical resolution, especially within the planet's Roche lobe, critically determines the outcome of the simulations. We consider a variety of initial conditions and show that isolated, non eccentric protoplanet planets do not undergo type III migration. We attribute the difference between our and previous simulations to the contribution of a self consistent representation of the disk's self gravity. Nevertheless, type III migration cannot be completely suppressed and its onset requires finite amplitude perturbations such as that induced by planet-planet interaction. We determine the radial extent of type III migration as a function of the disk's self gravity.

Circumnuclear Spiral Arms and Starburst Rings in Magnetized Barred Spiral Galaxies

The Seyfert galaxy NGC 1097 has an extended neutral hydrogen disk, a companion, a prominent bar and a luminous circumnuclear starburst "ring". Magnetic fields as revealed by nonthermal radio-continuum emissions correlate well with the optical barred spiral structure on large scales, have a gross enhancement overlapping with the optical/infrared "ring", and show a trailing swirl around and within the "ring". We propose a scenario of bar-excited long-trailing fast magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) density waves at the modified inner Lindblad resonance (mILR), physically identified with the outer rim of the "ring". These sustained outgoing long-waves are bounced back by the $Q_M$-barrier in the form of incoming short-trailing waves. The damping of these waves deposits a {\it negative} angular momentum into the magnetized circumnuclear gas disk. Thus, gas materials spiral inward, bring in frozen-in magnetic flux, and accumulate inside the mILR to create a circular zone of high density and magnetic flux vulnerable to massive star formation. Depending on the wave damping efficiency, this process may simultaneously sustain a net mass inflow across the "ring" and toward the nucleus. A wavelet analysis on a Hubble Space Telescope image of central NGC 1097 shows a distinct two-arm spiral structure extended down to the nucleus as a strong evidence for circumnuclear MHD density waves. We predict that magnetic-field observations with improved sensitivity and resolution would reveal a specific correspondence between circumnuclear optical and magnetic field spirals much as those known to exist on large scales in nearby spiral galaxies, including NGC 1097.

Formation of the Planetary Sequence in a Highly Flattened Disk of Frequently Colliding Planetesimals

The kinetic theory is used to study the evolution of the self-gravitating disk of planetesimals. The effects of frequent collisions between planetesimals are taken into account by using a Krook integral in the Boltzmann kinetic equation. It is shown that as a result of an aperiodic collision-dissipative instability of small gravity disturbances the disk is subdivided into numerous dense fragments. These can eventually condense into the planetary sequence.

A Gas-Kinetic Stability Analysis of Self-Gravitating and Collisional Particulate Disks with Application to Saturn's Rings

Linear theory is used to determine the stability of the self-gravitating, rapidly (and nonuniformly) rotating, two-dimensional, and collisional particulate disk against small-amplitude gravity perturbations. A gas-kinetic theory approach is used by exploring the combined system of the Boltzmann and the Poisson equations. The effects of physical collisions between particles are taken into account by using in the Boltzmann kinetic equation a Krook model integral of collisions modified to allow collisions to be inelastic. It is shown that as a direct result of the classical Jeans instability and a secular dissipative-type instability of small-amplitude gravity disturbances (e.g. those produced by a spontaneous perturbation and/or a companion system) the disk is subdivided into numerous irregular ringlets, with size and spacing of the order of the Jeans length (= (4-6) mean epicyclic radius). The present research is aimed above all at explaining the origin of various structures in highly flattened, rapidly rotating systems of mutually gravitating particles. In particular, it is suggested that forthcoming Cassini spacecraft high-resolution images may reveal this kind of hyperfine of the order of 100 m structure in the main rings A, B, and C of the Saturnian ring system.

Weakly nonlinear theory of the Jeans instability in disk galaxies of stars

The reaction of collective oscillations excited in the interaction between aperiodically growing Jeans-type gravity perturbations and stars of a rapidly rotating disk of flat galaxies is considered. An equation is derived which describes the change in the main body of equilibrium distribution of stars in the framework of the nonresonant weakly nonlinear theory. Certain applications of the theory to the problem of relaxation of the Milky Way at radii where two-body relaxation is not effective are explored. The theory, as applied to the Solar neighborhood, accounts for observed features, such as the shape for the velocity ellipsoid of stars and the increase in star random velocities with age.

Particle modeling of disk-shaped galaxies of stars on nowadays concurrent supercomputers

The time evolution of initially balanced, rapidly rotating models for an isolated disk of highly flattened galaxies of stars is calculated. The method of direct integration of the Newtonian equations of motion of stars over a time span of many galactic rotations is applied. Use of modern concurrent supercomputers has enabled us to make long simulation runs using a sufficiently large number of particles N=30,000. One of the goals of the present simulation is to test the validities of a modified local criterion for stability of Jeans-type gravity perturbations (e.g. those produced by a barlike structure, a spontaneous perturbation and/or a companion galaxy) in a self-gravitating, infinitesimally thin and collisionless disk. In addition to the local criterion we are interested in how model particles diffuse in velocity. This is of considerable interest in the kinetic theory of stellar disks. Certain astronomical implications of the simulations to actual disk-shaped (i.e. rapidly rotating) galaxies are explored. The weakly nonlinear, or quasi-linear kinetic theory of the Jeans instability in disk galaxies of stars is described as well.
