Giant cross-magnetic-field steps due to binary collisions between pair particles (open access)

Giant cross-magnetic-field steps due to binary collisions between pair particles

Article explores giant cross-magnetic-field steps which occur as a result of positron-electron collisions. Within a constant magnetic field (e.g., 1 T), a collision between a positron and an electron can result in a correlated drift across the magnetic field for a continuous range of impact parameters. Within this range, drift distances orders of magnitude larger than that associated with like-charge collisions were observed by computer simulation.

Explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language adults in a multi-major technical writing course (open access)

Explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language adults in a multi-major technical writing course

In this article, the author reports the effects of explicitly teaching five technical genres to English first-language students enrolled in a multi-major technical writing course. Previous experimental research has demonstrated the efficacy of explicitly teaching academic writing to English first-language adults, but no comparable study on technical writing exists.

EMOTION-III Model: A Theoretical Framework for Social Empathic Emotions in Autonomous Control Systems (open access)

EMOTION-III Model: A Theoretical Framework for Social Empathic Emotions in Autonomous Control Systems

In this article, a theoretical model of social empathic emotion is derived based on the principles of survival by extending the maximization of self-gains to include others as an extended-self. This extended-self model of optimization for survival provides the computational mechanisms in the optimization process to maximize self-gains without minimizing the gains (or maximizing losses) for the other individuals. Thus, it can resolve conflicts in a competitive environment, and change the social dynamics into a cooperative interaction instead.

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species (open access)

Space-charge-based electrostatic plasma confinement involving relaxed plasma species

In this article, a numerical study is reported on the equilibrium properties of a surface-emitted or edge-confined non-drifting plasma.

Loitering at the hilltop on exterior domains

In this article, the author proves the existence of an infinite number of radial solutions of Δu+f(u)=0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin and f is odd with f<0 on (0,β), f>0 on (β,δ), and f≡0 for u>δ. The primitive F(u)=∫u0f(t)dt has a "hilltop" at u=δ which allows one to use the shooting method and ODE techniques to prove the existence of solutions.
