A series of four (CaO)x·(Al2O3)(1−x) glasses over the narrow compositional range x = 57.1–66.7 have been studied using high energy x-ray and neutron diffraction. The coordination number of oxygen around aluminum was ...

This paper gives an explicit value for the dimension of the code of a strongly resolvable design over the field of prime order $p$ in the case when $p$ is not a divisor of $k-\rho$, where $k$ is the block size of the design ...

The relative partial molar enthalpies, ΔSiO2, of SiO2 in SiO2–M2O (M = Li, Na, K and Cs) binary and SiO2–CaO–Al2O3ternary melts were directly measured by drop-solution calorimetry at 1465 K and 1663 K. ΔSiO2 changes from ...

Consider the Dirichlet problem for elliptic and parabolic equations in nondivergence form with variable coefficients in convex bounded domains of R^n. We prove solvability of the elliptic problem and maximal L^q-L^p-estimates ...

Forced drainage describes the procedure in which liquid is added to a column of foam at a constant flow rate. For sufficiently high flow rates this results in a convective bubble motion, the symmetry of which depends on ...

Controllability - the possibility of performing any target dynamics by applying a set of available operations - is a fundamental requirement for the practical use of any physical system. For finite-dimensional systems, ...

An interfacial crack is placed within a two-phase elastic strip subjected to an out-of-plane loading. In the unperturbed state, the crack propagates with a constant speed V along the interface. The Dirichlet boundary ...

Analysis of propagation of a fault driven by a steadily moving shearing force through a structural interface reveals a channeling effect for the energy release. This effect implies that a steady-state solution for propagation ...

The dynamics of a simple spin chain (two spins) coupled to bosonic baths at different temperatures is studied. The analytical solution for the reduced density matrix of the system is found. The dynamics and temperature ...

We study the effect of long-range dipolar forces on the dynamics and morphology of domain walls in magnetic thin films by numerical simulations of the spin-1 random-field Ising model. By studying the size distribution of ...
