Model of a nonperturbative gluon jet

We present a simple physical model of a nonperturbative gluon jet. The gluon fragments into isoscalar clusters in a cascade fashion. The primary mesons produced are η, η′, ω, φ (and states of bound glue). The experimental consequences of the model are dramatic, allowing a clear test.

Scaling violations in inclusive e+e- annihilation spectra

The origin of the observed scaling violations in inclusive e+e- annihilation is investigated. Perturbative jet evolution is not necessarily the only reason for scale breaking in the hadron spectra at present energies. Remnants of finite-transverse-momentum and mass effects are still important in nonperturbative, cascade-type, jet formation in the 10 GeV range. Heavy-quark fragmentation has a stron

Folding and design in coarse-grained protein models

Recent advances in coarse-grained lattice and off-lattice protein models are reviewed. The sequence dependence of thermodynamical folding properties are investigated and evidence for non-randomness of the binary sequences of good folders are discussed. Similar patterns for non-randomness are found for real proteins. Dynamical parameter MC methods, such as the tempering and multisequence algorithms

Track finding with neural networks

A neural network algorithm for finding tracks in high energy physics experiments is presented. The performance of the algorithm is explored on modest size samples with encouraging results. It is inherently parallel and thus suitable for execution on a conventional SIMD architecture. More important, it naturally lends itself to direct implementations in custom made hardware, which would permit real

JETNET 3.0-A versatile artificial neural network package

An F77 package for feed-forward artificial neural network data processing, JETNET 3.0, is presented. It represents a substantial extension and generalization of an earlier release, JETNET 2.0. The package, which consists of a set of subroutines, is focused on multilayer perceptron architectures. As compared to earlier versions it contains a variety of minimization options, measures for monitoring

Using neural networks to identify jets

A neural network method for identifying the ancestor of a hadron jet is presented. The idea is to find an efficient mapping between certain observed hadronic kinematical variables and the quark-gluon identity. This is done with a neuronic expansion in terms of a network of sigmoidal functions using a gradient descent procedure, where the errors are back-propagated through the network. With this me

Explorations of the mean field theory learning algorithm

The mean field theory (MFT) learning algorithm is elaborated and explored with respect to a variety of tasks. MFT is benchmarked against the back-propagation learning algorithm (BP) on two different feature recognition problems: two-dimensional mirror symmetry and multidimensional statistical pattern classification. We find that while the two algorithms are very similar with respect to generalizat

Pattern recognition in high energy physics with artificial neural networks - JETNET 2.0

A F77 package of adaptive artificial neural network algorithms, JETNET 2.0, is presented. Its primary target is the high energy physics community, but it is general enough to be used in any pattern-recognition application area. The basic ingredients are the multilayer perceptron back-propagation algorithm and the topological self-organizing map. The package consists of a set of subroutines, which

Self-organizing networks for extracting jet features

Self-organizing neural networks are briefly reviewed and compared with supervised learning algorithms like back-propagation. The power of self-organization networks is in their capability of displaying typical features in a transparent manner. This is successfully demonstrated with two applications from hadronic jet physics; hadronization model discrimination and separation of b, c and light quark

Concepts of industrial diafiltration systems

The use of diafiltration as part of ultrafiltration processes on an industrial scale is now the state-of-the-art in the food & beverage, biotech and pharma industry for the recovery of fermentation broth. In this paper the advantages and disadvantages of the most common process modes of diafiltration - batch and continuous - will be discussed. Further, the new concept of counter-current diafil

Industrial ultrafiltration systems for fermentation broth recovery

In the food & beverage, biotech and pharma industry the use of ultrafiltration to recover fermentation broth is the state-of-the-art. These Ultrafiltration systems consist commonly of three stages: (1) pre-concentration stage, (2) diafiltration, and (3) final concentration. The process mode can be either batch or continuous. In the batch processes for all stages of the concentration the same m

Search for Low-Mass Dijet Resonances Using Trigger-Level Jets with the ATLAS Detector in pp Collisions at s =13 TeV

Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, whose data-collection rates at low transverse momentum are much lower than the rate from standard model multijet production. This Letter describes a new search for dijet resonances where this limitation is

Search for photonic signatures of gauge-mediated supersymmetry in 13 TeV pp collisions with the ATLAS detector

Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, whose data-collection rates at low transverse momentum are much lower than the rate from standard model multijet production. This Letter describes a new search for dijet resonances where this limitation is

Spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein-condensed atoms confined in annular potentials

A spin–orbit-coupled Bose–Einstein-condensed cloud of atoms confined in an annular trapping potential shows a variety of phases that we investigate in the present study. Starting with the non- interacting problem, the homogeneous phase that is present in an untrapped system is replaced by a sinusoidal density variation in the limit of a very narrow annulus. In the case of an untrapped system there

Purification and retention of sucrose in sugar beet molasses by utilizing ceramic nanofiltration membranes

Biorefineries are rapid growing branches in the world of sustainable chemical engineering, and one aspect that becomes more and more important is the reuse and valorization of different by-products. In sugar mills, molasses is a low value by-product mainly used for animal feed. However, a large part of the molasses contains the main product of the sugar mill: sucrose. By using membrane filtration,

Searches for dijet resonances with sub-TeV masses using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider can be statistically limited by the bandwidth available to inclusive single-jet triggers, whose data-collection rates at low transverse momentum are much lower than the rate from standard model multijet production.

In situ real-time monitoring techniques for membrane fouling in food, biorefinery and biotechnology industries

Membrane fouling is a constant challenge of membrane processes in separation and purification of organic, biomass originated compounds in food, biorefining and biotechnology industries. It persists due to the complexity and high fouling tendency of the bio-based streams and may result in a decrease of filtration capacity, rejection alteration, reduction of membrane lifetime and increase of operati
