The glass-forming reactions between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and silica (SiO2) have been investigated by 23Na, 29Si, and 13C magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. The multinuclear MAS NMR approach identifies and ...

Simple analytical formulae have been reported in literature to extract basic elastic material properties of adhesives subjected to tensile loading. The assumptions and simplifications of classical evaluation procedures may ...

The design and use of a novel portable synchrotron end-station is described, that allows for the micro-imaging of X-ray absorption features of solids, via their luminescence emission. This mode of measurement is possible ...

The problem of minimum resistance is studied for a body moving with constant velocity in a rarefied medium of chaotically moving point particles in the Euclidean space . The distribution of the velocities of the particles ...

We showthat the classical de Finetti theorem has a canonical noncommutative counterpart if we strengthen 'exchangeability' (i.e., invariance of the joint distribution of the random variables under the action of the permutation ...

We introduce `braidability' as a new symmetry for (infinite) sequences of noncommutative random variables related to representations of the braid group $B_\infty$. It provides an extension of exchangeability which is tied ...

We study a model of repeated interaction between quantum systems which can be thought of as a non-commutative Markov chain. It is shown that there exists an outgoing Cuntz scattering system associated to this model which ...

This paper proves some results concerning the polar factorisation of an integrable vector-valued function $u$ into the composition $u = u^{\#} \circ s$, where $u^{\#} = \nabla \psi$ almost everywhere for some convex function ...

This work deals with a class of Boundary Value Problems describing joint thermo-diffussive fields in an infinite combined domain, which consists of two subdomains, matched by a thin intermediate layer. The main problem is ...
