The second solution is a black ring, which is the five-dimensional uplift of the BTZ black hole with torsion in three dimensions.","PeriodicalId":12248,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis - Series: Physics, Chemistry and Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77599993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discussed the dependence of density matrix elements for ladder configuration and for V configuration on detunings of the probe field for various values of quantum dot dimensions. This dependence is discussed for both cases, at cryogenic temperatures when spontaneous emission dominates the relaxation mechanism and at room or higher temperatures when dephasing rate cannot be neglected.","PeriodicalId":12248,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis - Series: Physics, Chemistry and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88057172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theory is manifestly invariant under the deformed U(1)* gauge symmetry group.

In the research related to the initial knowledge and scientific research, 235 students of the first and second grade of gymnasiums in Novi Sad and Backa Palanka participated. The results of the research have shown that most of the students did not correctly answer questions related to reasoning based on proportions. The obtained result points to the pupil's misunderstanding of the notion of the smallest interval of an instrument, that is, the value of an instrumental error, which is the basis of the correct reading of the experimental results in the teaching of physics. From the point of view of physics, it is important for pupils to point out the mistakes they have made in concluding, in order to correct their claims and the exact information associated with existing ones in long-term memory.","PeriodicalId":12248,"journal":{"name":"Facta Universitatis - Series: Physics, Chemistry and Technology","volume":"16 1","pages":"257-265"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73988583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
