A Network Theoretical Approach To Real-World Problems: Application Of The K-Core Algorithm To Various Systems, Kate Burleson-Lesser
A Network Theoretical Approach To Real-World Problems: Application Of The K-Core Algorithm To Various Systems, Kate Burleson-Lesser
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The study of complex networks is, at its core, an exploration of the mechanisms that control the world in which we live at every scale, from particles no bigger than a grain of sand and amino acids that comprise proteins, to social networks, ecosystems, and even countries. Indeed, we find that, regardless of the physical size of the network's components, we may apply principles of complex network theory, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics to not only better understand these specific networks, but to formulate theories which may be applied to problems on a more general level. This thesis explores several networks …
The Effects Of Surface Pace In Baseball, Jason Farlow
The Effects Of Surface Pace In Baseball, Jason Farlow
Senior Theses
A baseball travels across different surfaces at different paces. The goal of this experiment is to find a percentage difference in speeds the ball will reflect off a given surface. The energy lost on the turf surface was far more significant than on dirt surface as the turf lost an average of 26% of its energy as compared to just 16% of the energy on dirt. In the Northwest conference, teams play on four turf-based infields and five dirt-based infields. The results of this study suggest that kinetic friction forces are more significant in reducing ball rebound speed than in …
Super Inflation Mechanism And Dark Energy From A Cosmological Entropy Perspective, Ali̇ İhsan Keski̇n
Super Inflation Mechanism And Dark Energy From A Cosmological Entropy Perspective, Ali̇ İhsan Keski̇n
Turkish Journal of Physics
Various approaches are developed that provide a unification of the early inflationary epoch of the universe and dark energy (cosmic accelerating expansion case). In one respect, we express this unification in a universal thermodynamic framework within the context of $F\left( T,T_{G} \right)$ gravity, where $T$ represents the torsion invariant and $T_{G}$ is the teleparallel equivalent of the Gauss--Bonnet term. For a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker universe model bounded by the dynamical apparent horizon, we explore the generalized second law of gravitational thermodynamics (GSLT). Finally, we discuss the super inflation mechanism, the deceleration case (radiation and dust regions), and the late time cosmic acceleration …
Thermodynamics Of Cosmological Models With Generalized $G$ And $\Lambda $, M Saratchandra Singh, Sanasam Surendra Singh
Thermodynamics Of Cosmological Models With Generalized $G$ And $\Lambda $, M Saratchandra Singh, Sanasam Surendra Singh
Turkish Journal of Physics
Here we investigate spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker space-time models of the universe to study the thermodynamic behaviors in light of variables $G$ and $\Lambda $. A particular method to find the solutions of Einstein's field equations and mathematical expressions for temperature and entropy of the perfect fluid cosmological models is introduced by using both the equation of state and the assumption $G=G_{0} \,a^{n}$. It is observed that the phantom field of ($\omega

Nature Of Entropy In A Scalar-Tensor Theory Of Gravity, Onur Siğinç, Mustafa Salti, Hi̇lmi̇ Yanar, Oktay Aydoğdu
Turkish Journal of Physics
This work is devoted to studying the generalized nature of the entropy function in a specific form of the scalar-tensor-vector (STeVe) theory of gravity for the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) spacetime in the state of thermal equilibrium. For this purpose, we define an equilibrium picture of thermodynamics by making use of a suitable set of the dark energy density and dark pressure descriptions, which defines an energy-momentum tensor obeying the local energy conservation law. Furthermore, we also discuss our results numerically in order to get additional implications.
