This particularly affects the extraction of information from the largest observable scales. Maximum-likelihood estimators are not quite applicable for reconstructing the full-sky because of non-Caussian character of observed matter distribution. To solve this problem, many authors modify implementations of such estimators which are robust to the leakage of contaminants from within masked regions. The trouble arises from the need to satisfy the cosmological principle of an arbitrary choice of the reference frame and long-distant correlations in spatial galaxy distribution observed. We are going to discuss here one а such approach and to show some results of its application. The discussion about homogeneity (or inhomogeneity) of the large-scale visible matter distribution in the Universe is attracting the attention of both the astronomers and theoreticians of cosmology.1–4 In recent years the more complete and deeper galaxy surveys become available,5,6 however, this does not eliminate the question about fractality of the large-scale structure. The fractal concept, introduced by Mandelbrot,7 applied to the galaxy distribution means the presence of the overdence regions and voids extending to all scales, at least to those could be reached by now.

We assume that the latter are cosmic rays (CRs). In this paper, I focus on the quasi-spherical region produced at the catastrophe site. This region is a source of relativistic and ultrarelativistic particles. This region existence time is determined by the processes occurring inside that may be either short-, or long-term. For example, to elucidate the formation of pulsing GRB,1 the popular fireball model Piran2 is used. This model presupposes that there forms a compact ball (with the initial size of about 100 km) expanding at a relativistic velocity and comprising the quanta locked in it and electron-positron pairs. At an instant, quanta dramatically leave the ball thus forming a short gamma burst. Further, charged relativistic particles eject. They are accelerated in shocks (inner and outer) produced as a result of the ball shell “bloating” in a plasma medium at a near-light velocity, and of fast motion of substance in the ball.","PeriodicalId":137635,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114974626","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}

With all this, one can say that cosmology is living nowadays a golden epoch and the observational data, which become more and more precise, keeps cosmologists optimistic about establishing a true Standard Cosmological Theory in the near future. If we try to know the origin of the universe then the most accepted model in this direction is the Big Bang theory. The Big Bang theory is an effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. Discoveries in astronomy and physics have shown beyond a reasonable doubt that our universe did in fact have a beginning. Prior to that moment there was nothing; during and after that moment there was something: our universe. So simply we can say that the big bang theory is an effort to explain what happened during and after that moment. In the early 1990’s, one thing was fairly certain about the expansion of the Universe. It might have enough energy density to stop its expansion and collapse. It might have so little energy density that it would never stop expanding, but gravity was certain to slow down the expansion as time went on.","PeriodicalId":137635,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131253277","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}

LPFG by UV light exposure with amplitude phase mask are popular, but their spectra can hardly be tuned once they have been fabricated, which may limit applications of LPFG. The temporary or reversible grating can be implemented through the application of acoustic wave to the fiber1,2 or periodical loading onto the fiber.3 Reversible optical fiber gratings need neither a special fiber nor an expensive writing device for fabrication. These gratings also offer advantages of being simple, inexpensive, erasable, reconfigurable, and also give flexible control of transmission spectrum. Depending upon refractive index profile and grating period variation, gratings are of different types. The grating period can be uniform or graded, and either localized or distributed in structure. Uniform optical fiber grating yields highly undesirable side-lobes due to the sharp boundaries of the grating.4 A well-discussed method to reduce these side lobes is to apodize the grating coupling strength along the grating by gradually tapering the refractive index modulation amplitude to zero at both end of the grating. Periodic refractive index perturbations in an optical grating with single sided loading could be primarily stress induced, since the points of stress would be those where the plate presses the fiber against the grooved plate. While in an optical grating with double sided loading refractive index perturbation is due to the periodic microbend.","PeriodicalId":137635,"journal":{"name":"Physics & Astronomy International Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122023997","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}

In earlier studies it has been shown that elongation verses force characteristics of a DNA molecule1 can be described2 by the worm-like-chain (WLC) which essentially depicts a chain by an elastic continuous curve at thermal equilibrium with a single elastic constant, the persistence length A characterizing the bending energy.3 It has been shown that the analytic solution of WLC can be achieved through the mapping to a quantum mechanical problem. In fact its partition function corresponds to Euclidean path integral for a quantum dumbbell when rotations and vibrations are ignored so that it represents a rigid rotator. The generalization of the WLC with twist rigidity was considered by Bouchiat et al.4 and it was shown that a DNA molecule at small super coiling can be described by a thin elastic rod involving the twist rigidity. It is called the rod –like –chain (RLC) model. The partition function can be mapped onto the path integral representation for a quantum charged particle in the field of a magnetic monopole with nonquantized charge.4 The theory is singular in the continuum limit and needs to be regularized at an intermediate length scale.
