Proposed single-zone map projection system for Turkey

The coordinate base of the maps or sheets produced is the Universal Transversal Mercator (UTM) conformal projection, and it is not possible to work in a single coordinate system in Turkey. Therefore, a transition from UTM to other conformal projections is required. For the countries extending in an east–west UTM zone width like Turkey, composite projection (CP), a double standard paralleling Lambert Conformal Conic (LCC) and double map projections (DP) are used widely. However, this process causes increase in working load and processing errors by users. This study aims to determine a common projection system that can be used in the whole country. In this context, a composite projection from UTM and LCC projection has been defined for the first time. According to the results obtained, map projection CP with the least distortion values in both east–west and north–south directions has been chosen. With the CP selection, a single coordinate system has been determined for medium- and large-scale maps. Projection correction formulas, scale factor and false origin have been determined for map coordinates in CP. These distortions are obtained with a difference of less than 1 cm for 1 km long sides and less than 0.003″ for the azimuth value of this side, when the correction formulas are used.

On warped string vacuum profiles and cosmologies. Part II. Non-supersymmetric strings

We investigate the effects of the leading tadpole potentials of 10D tachyon-free non-supersymmetric strings in warped products of flat geometries of the type Mp+1× R × T10−p−2 depending on a single coordinate. In the absence of fluxes and for p < 8, there are two families of these vacua for the orientifold disk-level potential, both involving a finite internal interval. Their asymptotics are surprisingly captured by tadpole-free solutions, isotropic for one family and anisotropic at one end for the other. In contrast, for the heterotic torus-level potential there are four types of vacua. Their asymptotics are always tadpole-dependent and isotropic at one end lying at a finite distance, while at the other end, which can lie at a finite or infinite distance, they can be tadpole-dependent isotropic or tadpole-free anisotropic. We then elaborate on the general setup for including symmetric fluxes, and present the three families of exact solutions that emerge when the orientifold potential and a seven-form flux are both present. These solutions include a pair of boundaries, which are always separated by a finite distance. In the neighborhood of one, they all approach a common supersymmetric limit, while the asymptotics at the other boundary can be tadpole-free isotropic, tadpole-free anisotropic or again supersymmetric. We also discuss corresponding cosmologies, with emphasis on their climbing or descending behavior at the initial singularity. In some cases the toroidal dimensions can contract during the cosmological expansion.

On warped string vacuum profiles and cosmologies. Part I. Supersymmetric strings

We investigate in detail solutions of supergravity that involve warped products of flat geometries of the type Mp+1× R × TD−p−2 depending on a single coordinate. In the absence of fluxes, the solutions include flat space and Kasner-like vacua that break all supersymmetries. In the presence of a symmetric flux, there are three families of solutions that are characterized by a pair of boundaries and have a singularity at one of them, the origin. The first family comprises supersymmetric vacua, which capture a universal limiting behavior at the origin. The first and second families also contain non-supersymmetric solutions whose behavior at the other boundary, which can lie at a finite or infinite distance, is captured by the no-flux solutions. The solutions of the third family have a second boundary at a finite distance where they approach again the supersymmetric backgrounds. These vacua exhibit a variety of interesting scenarios, which include compactifications on finite intervals and p + 1-dimensional effective theories where the string coupling has an upper bound. We also build corresponding cosmologies, and in some of them the string coupling can be finite throughout the evolution.

Geometries with mismatched branes

We study Randall-Sundrum two brane setups with mismatched brane tensions. For the vacuum solutions, boundary conditions demand that the induced metric on each of the branes is either de Sitter, Anti-de Sitter, or Minkowski. For incompatible boundary conditions, the bulk metric is necessarily time-dependent. This introduces a new class of time-dependent solutions with the potential to address cosmological issues and provide alternatives to conventional inflationary (or contracting) scenarios. We take a first step in this paper toward such solutions. One important finding is that the resulting solutions can be very succinctly described in terms of an effective action involving only the induced metric on either one of the branes and the radion field. But the full geometry cannot necessarily be simply described with a single coordinate patch. We concentrate here on the time- dependent solutions but argue that supplemented with a brane stabilization mechanism one can potentially construct interesting cosmological models this way. This is true both with and without a brane stabilization mechanism.

About determination of coordinates of sources of geomagnetic perturbations according to the world network of magnetic observatories

&lt;p&gt;A method for determining the coordinates of geomagnetic perturbation sources based on joint data processing of the world network of magnetic observatories is proposed. A large statistical material showed the relationship of large geomagnetic storms with the interaction of two or more magnetic clouds formed as a result of coronal mass ejections. To determine the coordinates of the sources of perturbations, it is proposed to use the data of magnetic observatories of the &quot;INTERMAGNET&quot; international network, which has more than 100 observation points distributed around the world and equipped with modern identical hardware. The results of geomagnetic field measurement obtained by magnetic observatories are brought to a single coordinate system. It was achieved by rotation of the axes of local stations, which allows determining the coordinates of the sources of perturbations and evaluating the accuracy of specifying the coordinate system of each local observatory.&lt;/p&gt;

Features of application of geoinformation systems and technologies for solving production problems of JSC "Russian Railways"

The article discusses the possibility of creating effective geoinformation technologies to improve the operation of JSC "Russian Railways". The need for them is due to the huge scale of the territories occupied by the railway infrastructure, and the specifics of work activities that are associated with the organization of the transportation process. It is proposed to follow five principles when creating a unified railway GEODATA database: the use of a single coordinate base, the uniqueness of each object and the use of geographical coordinates as the primary key, the definition of a generalized graph of the railway network using a digital path model, the use of existing geoinformation resources, continuous updating and updating of information. Key words: geoinformation technology, single database, the railroad, digital model of the road.

FKN theorem for the multislice, with applications

The Friedgut–Kalai–Naor (FKN) theorem states that if ƒ is a Boolean function on the Boolean cube which is close to degree one, then ƒ is close to a dictator, a function depending on a single coordinate. The author has extended the theorem to the slice, the subset of the Boolean cube consisting of all vectors with fixed Hamming weight. We extend the theorem further, to the multislice, a multicoloured version of the slice.As an application, we prove a stability version of the edge-isoperimetric inequality for settings of parameters in which the optimal set is a dictator.
