Effect of a Radiation Cooling and Heating Function on Standing Longitudinal Oscillations in Coronal Loops

Standing long-period (with the periods longer than several minutes) oscillations in large hot (with the temperature higher than 3 MK) coronal loops have been observed as the quasi-periodic modulation of the EUV and microwave intensity emission and the Doppler shift of coronal emission lines, and have been interpreted as standing slow magnetoacoustic (longitudinal) oscillations. Quasi-periodic pulsations of shorter periods, detected in thermal and non-thermal emissions in solar flares could be produced by a similar mechanism. We present theoretical modelling of the standing slow magnetoacoustic mode, showing that this mode of oscillation is highly sensitive to peculiarities of the radiative cooling and heating function. We generalised the theoretical model of standing slow magnetoacoustic oscillations in a hot plasma, including the effects of the radiative losses, and accounting for plasma heating. The heating mechanism is not specified and taken empirically to compensate the cooling by radiation and thermal-conduction. It is shown that the evolution of the oscillations is described by a generalised Burgers equation. Numerical solution of an initial value problem for the evolutionary equation demonstrates that different dependences of the radiative cooling and plasma heating on the temperature lead to different regimes of the oscillations, including growing, quasi-stationary and rapidly decaying. Our findings provide a theoretical foundation for probing the coronal heating function, and may explain the observations of decayless long-period quasi-periodic pulsations in flares. The hydrodynamic approach employed in this study should be considered with caution in the modelling of non-thermal emission associated with flares, as it misses potentially important non-hydrodynamic effects.

Thickness and electric field dependent polarizability and dielectric constant in phosphorene

Based on extensive first principle calculations, we explore the thickness dependent effective di- electric constant and slab polarizability of few layer black phosphorene. We find that the dielectric constant in ultra-thin phosphorene is thickness dependent and it can be further tuned by applying an out of plane electric field. The decreasing dielectric constant with reducing number of layers of phosphorene, is a direct consequence of the lower permittivity of the surface layers and the in- creasing surface to volume ratio. We also show that the slab polarizability depends linearly on the number of layers, implying a nearly constant polarizability per phosphorus atom. Our calculation of the thickness and electric field dependent dielectric properties will be useful for designing and interpreting transport experiments in gated phosphorene devices, wherever electrostatic effects such as capacitance, charge screening etc. are important.

Escaping set and Julia set of transcendental semigroups

We discuss the dynamics of semigroups of transcendental entire functions using Fatou-Julia theory and provide a condition for the complete invariance of escaping set and Julia set of transcendental semigroups. Results regarding limit functions and postsingular set are also derived. In addition, classes of hyperbolic and postsingularly bounded transcendental semigroups are given. We also provide certain criterion for non existence of wandering domains of transcendental semigroups.

Periodically driven DNA: Theory and simulation

We propose a generic model of driven DNA under the influence of an oscillatory force of amplitude $F$ and frequency $ν$ and show the existence of a dynamical transition for a chain of finite length. We find that the area of the hysteresis loop, $A_{\rm loop}$, scales with the same exponents as observed in a recent study based on a much more detailed model. However, towards the true thermodynamic limit, the high-frequency scaling regime extends to lower frequencies for larger chain length $L$ and the system has only one scaling ($A_{\rm loop} \approx ν^{-1}F^2)$. Expansion of an analytical expression for $A_{\rm loop}$ obtained for the model system in the low-force regime revealed that there is a new scaling exponent associated with force ($A_{\rm loop} \approx ν^{-1}F^{2.5}$), which has been validated by high-precision numerical calculation. By a combination of analytical and numerical arguments, we also deduce that for large but finite $L$, the exponents are robust and independent of temperature and friction coefficient.

The dynamics of semigroups of transcendental entire functions II

We introduce the concept of escaping set for semigroups of transcendental entire functions using Fatou-Julia theory. Several results of the escaping set associated with the iteration of one transcendental entire function have been extended to transcendental semigroups. We also investigate the properties of escaping sets for conjugate semigroups and abelian transcendental semigroups. Several classes of transcendental semigroups for which Eremenko's conjectures hold have been provided.

Rupture of DNA Aptamer: new insights from simulations

Base-pockets (non-complementary base-pairs) in a double-stranded DNA play a crucial role in biological processes. Because of thermal fluctuations, it can lower the stability of DNA, whereas, in case of DNA aptamer, small molecules e.g. adenosinemonophosphate(AMP), adenosinetriphosphate(ATP) etc, form additional hydrogen bonds with base-pockets termed as "binding-pockets", which enhance the stability. Using the Langevin Dynamics simulations of coarse grained model of DNA followed by atomistic simulations, we investigated the influence of base-pocket and binding-pocket on the stability of DNA aptamer. Striking differences have been reported here for the separation induced by temperature and force, which require further investigation by single molecule experiments.

Semigroups of transcendental entire functions and their dynamics

We study the dynamics of an arbitrary semigroup of transcendental entire functions using Fatou-Julia theory. Several results of the dynamics associated with iteration of a transcendental entire function have been extended to transcendental semigroups. We provide some conditions for connectivity of the Julia set of the transcendental semigroups. We also study finitely generated transcendental semigroups, abelian transcendental semigroups and limit functions of transcendental semigroups on its invariant Fatou components.

Effective Doping of Monolayer Phosphorene by Surface Adsorption of Atoms for Electronic and Spintronic Applications

We study the effect of surface adsorption of 27 different adatoms on the electronic and magnetic properties of monolayer black phosphorus using density functional theory. Choosing a few representative elements from each group, ranging from alkali metals (group I) to halogens (group VII), we calculate the band structure, density of states, magnetic moment and effective mass for the energetically most stable location of the adatom on monolayer phosphorene. We predict that group I metals (Li, Na, K), and group III adatoms (Al, Ga, In) are effective in enhancing the n-type mobile carrier density, with group III adatoms resulting in lower effective mass of the electrons, and thus higher mobilities. Furthermore we find that the adatoms of transition metals Ti and Fe, produce a finite magnetic moment (1.87 and 2.31 $μ_B$) in monolayer phosphorene, with different band gap and electronic effective masses (and thus mobilities), which approximately differ by a factor of 10 for spin up and spin down electrons opening up the possibility for exploring spintronic applications.

In this paper we study the bicomplex version of weighted Hardy spaces. Further, we describe reproducing kernels for the bicomplex weighted Hardy spaces. In particular, we generalize some results which holds for the classical weighted Hardy spaces. We also introduce the notion of bicomplex C*-algebra and discuss some of its properties including maximal ideals in BC.

Bifurcation in cell cycle dynamics regulated by p53

We study the regulating mechanism of p53 on the properties of cell cycle dynamics in the light of the proposed model of interacting p53 and cell cycle networks via p53. Irradiation (IR) introduce to p53 compel p53 dynamics to suffer different phases, namely oscillating and oscillation death (stabilized) phases. The IR induced p53 dynamics undergo collapse of oscillation with collapse time Δt which depends on IR strength. The stress p53 via IR drive cell cycle molecular species MPF and cyclin dynamics to different states, namely, oscillation death, oscillations of periods, chaotic and sustain oscillation in their bifurcation diagram. We predict that there could be a critical Δt_c induced by p53 via IR_c, where, if Δt < Δt_c the cell cycle may come back to normal state, otherwise it will go to cell cycle arrest (apoptosis).

On dynamics of composite entire functions and singularities

We consider the dynamical properties of transcendental entire functions and their compositions. We give several conditions under which Fatou set of a transcendental entire function $f$ coincide with that of $f\circ g,$ where $g$ is another transcendental entire function. We also prove some result giving relationship between singular values of transcendental entire functions and their compositions.

On a Theorem of Schwick

Let D be a domain, n, k be positive integers and n >= K+3. Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in D. If each f in F satisfies (f^n)^(k) not equal to 1 for z in D, then F is normal family. This result was proved by Schwick. In this paper we extend this result.

Scaling of hysteresis loop of interacting polymers under a periodic force

Using Langevin Dynamics simulations, we study a simple model of interacting-polymer under a periodic force. The force-extension curve strongly depends on the magnitude of the amplitude $(F)$ and the frequency ($ν$) of the applied force. In low frequency limit, the system retraces the thermodynamic path. At higher frequencies, response time is greater than the external time scale for change of force, which restrict the biomolecule to explore a smaller region of phase space that results in hysteresis of different shapes and sizes. We show the existence of dynamical transition, where area of hysteresis loop approaches to a large value from nearly zero area with decreasing frequency. The area of hysteresis loop is found to scale as $F^α ν^β$ for the fixed length. These exponents are found to be the same as of the mean field values for a time dependent hysteretic response to periodic force in case of the isotropic spin.

Statistical Mechanics of DNA unzipping under periodic force: Scaling behavior of hysteresis loop

A simple model of DNA based on two interacting polymers has been used to study the unzipping of a double stranded DNA subjected to a periodic force. We propose a dynamical transition, where without changing the physiological condition, it is possible to bring DNA from the zipped/unzipped state to a new dynamic (hysteretic) state by varying the frequency of the applied force. Our studies reveal that the area of the hystersis loop grows with the same exponents as of the isotropic spin systems. These exponents are amenable to verification in the force spectroscopic experiments.
