Most natural feldspars contain many charged impurities, and display a range of bond angles, distributed about the ideal. These effects can lead to complications in the structure of the conduction band, giving rise to a ...

Despite the wealth of solar data currently available, the explicit connection between coronal streamers and features on the solar disk remains unresolved. Aims: To reproduce the large-scale coronal structure starting from ...

This poster focuses on an energy landscape study of bulk oxide systems, a specific example being a mixture of calcium oxide and magnesium oxide (CaO/MgO). These oxide systems are modeled at the level of empirical potentials ...

The theory of quantum feedback networks has recently been developed with the aim of showing how quantum input-output components may be connected together so as to control, stabilize, or enhance the performance of one of ...

Interplanetary scintillation measurements can yield estimates of a large number of solar wind parameters,including bulk flow speed, variation in bulk velocity along the observing path through the solar wind and random ...

The paper addresses the problem of a semi-infinite plane crack along the interface between two isotropic half-spaces. Two methods of solution have been considered in the past: Lazarus and Leblond [1998a. Three-dimensional ...

Imperfect transmission conditions modelling a thin reactive intermediate layer be- tween two bonded materials in a dissimilar strip are derived in this paper. The interphase material is assumed to be heat-resistant and ...

Based on a multiwavelength data set and a topological model for the magnetic field, we argue that a M1.9 flare which occurred on 1993 May shows evidence of three-dimensional coronal reconnection in a spine-fan configuration. ...

We revisit the axisymmetric contact problem for a biphasic cartilage layer and consider a refined formulation taking into account the both normal and tangential displacements at the contact interface. The obtained analytical ...

The main objective of this study is to counterpart numerical model and experimental studies for rotating flows associated with dough kneading, and validate the flow patterns generated. The flows considered are in a complex ...
