Improvement of gross theory of beta-decay for application to nuclear data

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
A theoretical study of β decay and delayed neutron has been carried out with a global β-decay model, the gross theory. The gross theory is based on a consideration of the sum rule of the β-strength function, and gives reasonable results of β-decay rates ...

Asymptotic bound on slow-roll parameter in stringy quintessence model

open access: yesNuclear Physics B
We study the late time behavior of the scalar part of the volume modulus and the dilaton in stringy quintessence model, focusing on their contributions to the Hubble slow-roll parameter ϵ which directly measures the deviation of the spacetime geometry ...

Axion landscape and natural inflation

open access: yesPhysics Letters B, 2015
Multiple axions form a landscape in the presence of various shift symmetry breaking terms. Eternal inflation populates the axion landscape, continuously creating new universes by bubble nucleation.

Influence of an Integral Heave Plate on the Dynamic Response of Floating Offshore Wind Turbine Under Operational and Storm Conditions

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The hydrodynamic performance of the floating foundation for offshore wind turbines is essential to its stability and energy harvesting. A semi-submersible platform with an integral heave plate is proposed in order to reduce the vertical motion responses.

Performance optimization of apodized FBG-based temperature sensors in single and quasi-distributed DWDM systems with new and different apodization profiles

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2013
In this work, different FBG temperature sensors are designed and evaluated with various apodization profiles. Evaluation is done under a wide range of controlling design parameters like sensor length and refractive index modulation amplitude, targeting a

Peccei-Quinn inflation at the pole and axion kinetic misalignment

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics
We propose a minimal extension of the Standard Model with the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) scalar field and explain the relic density of the QCD axion through the kinetic misalignment with a relatively small axion decay constant. To this purpose, we consider a slow-

Validation of a roll decay test of an offshore installation vessel using openfoam

open access: yes, 2019
In this work, the offshore heavy lift DP2 jack-up vessel Innovation from the DEME group is studied using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) toolbox OpenFOAM. The two-phase Navier-Stokes fluid solver is coupled with a motion solver using a partitioned fluid-structure interaction algorithm.
