Here we present a linear stability analysis and an MHD 2D model for the Parker-Jeans instability in the Galactic gaseous disk. The magnetic field is assumed parallel to a Galactic spiral arm, and the gaseous disk is modelled as a multi-component, magnetized, and isothermal gas layer. The model employs the observed vertical stratifications for the gas density and the gravitational acceleration in the Solar neighborhood, and the self-gravity of the gas is also included. By solving Poisson's equation for the gas density stratification, we determine the vertical acceleration due to self-gravity as a function of z. Subtracting it from the observed gravitational acceleration, we separate the total acceleration into self and external gravities. The linear stability analysis provides the corresponding dispersion relations. The time and length scales of the fastest growing mode of the Parker-Jeans instability are about 40 Myr and 3.3 kpc, respectively. In order to confirm the linear stability analysis, we have performed two-dimensional MHD simulations. These show that the Parker-Jeans instability under the self and external gravities evolves into a quasi-equilibrium state, creating condensations on the northern and southern sides of the plane, in an alternate manner.

This study is performed to analyze of reinforced concrete beams under fire and to calculate remaining strength. The analysis is based on the assumption that plane section remains plane after bending due to load and non-linear temperature increases. Finite difference method is used to find temperature field in a section. The residual strength is attained considering the effect of temperature rise on the mechanical properties of concrete, self-equilibrium stress and reduced section. Further research in much needed on the material models of concrete since it governs temperature distribution and theoretical results.

This note examines a situation where a risk-neutral insurer and a risk-averse individual (prospective insured) negotiate to reach an arbitration point of the price of insurance over the terms of an insurance contract in order to maximize their respective self-interests. The situation is modeled as a Nash bargaining problem. We analyze the dependence of the price of insurance, which is determined by the Nash solution, on the parameters such as the size of insured loss, the probability of a loss, the degree of risk-aversion of the insured, and the riskiness of loss distribution.

A form-finding procedure is presented for planar tensegrity structures. Notably, a simple decision criteria is proposed to select the desirable candidate position vector from the unitary matrix produced by the eigenvalue decomposition of force density matrix. The soundness of the candidate position vector guarantees faster convergence and produces a desirable form of tensegrity without any member having zero-length. Several numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the capability of the proposed form-finding process.

The equivalent load method has been widely used in the design and analysis of prestressed concrete structures. The purpose of this paper is to explore several important method of obtaining equivalent loads and to clarify the advantages and limitations of each method. The methods devised in this study include the use of curvature of tendon, characteristics of primary moment, self-equilibrium conditions, and linear segments approximation of tendon. It is shown that equivalent lading system is not uniquely determined in some cases and careful engineering judgement is required from the view point of accuracy and practical convenience.

In this paper, quantum mechanical simulations of the double-gate ultra-thin body (DG-UTB) MOSFETs are performed according to the International Technology Roadmap of Semiconductors (ITRS) specifications planned for 2020, to devise the way for on-current ($I_{on}$) improvement. We have employed non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach and solved the self-consistent equations based on the parabolic effective mass theory [1]. Our study shows that the [100]/<001> Ge and GaSb channel devices have higher $I_{on}$ than Si channel devices under the body thickness ($T_{bd}$) <5nm condition.

We report here the results on N-acetyl-N"-methylamide of oxazolidine (Ac-Oxa-NHMe) calculated using the ab initio molecular orbital method with the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) theory at the HF level of theory with the 6-31 +G(d) basis set. The displacement of the $\gamma$-$CH_2$ group in proline ring by oxygen atom has affected the structure of proline, cis-trans equilibrium, and rotational barrier. The up-puckered structure is found to be prevalent for the trans conformers of the Oxa amide. (omitted)

In this paper, we analyze an M / M / 1 queueing system where there are incentive conflicts among customers. Self-interested customers' decisions whether to join the system or not may not necessarily induce a socially optimal congestion level. As a way to alleviate the over-congestion, toll imposition was used in Naor's paper [3]. Instead of using a toll mechanism, we study the usefulness of imperfect information on system state (queue size, for example) as a way to reduce the over-congestion by self-interested customers. The main conclusion of this paper is that by purposefully giving fuzzy or imperfect information on the current queue size we can improve the congestion in the system. This result might look contradictory to rough intuition since perfect information should give better performance than imperfect information. We show how this idea is verified. In deriving this result, we use the concept of Nash equilibrium (pure and mixed strategy) as introduced in game theory. In some real situations, using imperfect information is easier to apply than imposing a toll, and thus the result of this paper has practical implications.

We consider a consumer self-selection model in which a regulated firm faces two market segments with differing valuation of quality of telecommunication services and examine some economic implications from the behaviors of the firm. In the context of a regulated monopolist, even though the results depend on the degree of privatization, the firm could lower the quality of the low-end model and reduce the price of the high-end in order to alleviate cannibalization. This justifies the provision of universal service policy in the telecommunications market. Based on this self-selection model, we also analyze an extended model of product introduction and show that the monopolist will introduce new product with the same introduction time of social planner. However, when we consider competition among firms, the market equilibrium may not guarantee the efficient time of product introduction.
