Three-body model for Li induced reactions

The ⁶Li induced reactions are presented on a soluble three-body model. Taking for the ⁶Li nucleus a deuterton + alpha cluster structure, the angular distributions for its stripping and elastic scattering on a target nucleus X are calculated. Good agreement with the experimental measurements is obtained.     

A fully polynomial approximation algorithm for the 0–1 knapsack problem

A fully polynomial ?-approximation algorithm is developed for the 0–1 knapsack problem. The algorithm uses results of Lawler and Ibarra and Kim. A pseudo-polynomial dynamic programming algorithm is first suggested which solves the problem in O(nb log n) time and O(b) space.     

The Two-Nucleon Stripping Process with Skyrme Type Potential

Theory of two-nucleon stripping reactions is reconsidered. The nucleon-nucleon interactions are taken as Skyrme type potentials. Differential cross-sections for two-nucleon stripping reactions are calculated using DWBA approximation with different Skyrme type potentials of different parameters. The angular distributions for different two-nucleon stripping reactions (t, p) with incident triton on the different targets of ³¹P, ⁴⁰Ca, ⁹⁶Zr, ¹¹⁸Sn and ²⁰⁶Pb are calculated giving good agreement with the experimental data. Better values are extracted for the spectroscopic factors.     

Alpha Cluster in Hartree-Fock Calculations

Hartree-Fock (HF) calculations have been performed fcr ¹²C nucleus assuming a trigonal D_3h equilibrium configuration. Different aspects including symmetry, kinds of two-body interactions are investigated. The HF calculations have been carried out using a velocity dependent effective potential of s-wave interaction. The results are compared with previous calculations. In all HF calculations no deviation from axial symmetry is obtained.     

Indentation Load Effect on Young＇s Modulus and Hardness of Porous Sialon Ceramic by Depth Sensing Indentation Tests

Depth sensing indentation （DSI） tests at the range of 200-1800mN are performed on porous sialon ceramic to determine the indentation load on Young＇s modulus and hardness values. The Young modulus and hardness （Dynamic and Martens） values are deduced by analysing the unloading segments of the DSI test load-displacement curves using the Oliver-Pharr method. It is found that Young＇s modulus ET, the dynamic hardness HD and the Martens hardness HM exhibit significant indentation load dependences. The values of Young＇s modulus and hardness decrease with the increasing indentation load, as a result of indentation load effect. The experimental hf /hm ratios lower than the critical value 0.7, with hm being the maximum penetration depth during loading and hf the final unloading depth, indicate that our sample shows the work hardening behaviour.     

Solution Properties of the Exopolysaccharide Produced by Pseudomonas Marginalis Strain HT041B 1

Abstract

The solution properties of the exopolysaccharide marginalan produced by Pseudomonas marginalis HT041B were investigated by means of low-angle laser light-scattering, capillary viscometry, and rheology. Potentiometric and viscosimetric data indicated the absence of a cooperative transition of the disorder-to-order type. The experimental findings obtained in dilute solution (Mark-Houwink coefficients, rigidity coefficient, characteristic ratio) suggested that the polymer behaves like a semiflexible chain which adopts a disordered conformation. The rheological behaviour of more concentrated marginalan solutions, as determined by means of both steady shear and oscillatory measurements, further confirmed the disordered conformational state of the polymer in solution.

     

Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry: Strontium and its isotopes

The experimental details are reported of Laser Ablation Molecular Isotopic Spectrometry (LAMIS) and its application for performing optical isotopic analysis of solid strontium-containing samples in ambient atmospheric air at normal pressure. The LAMIS detection method is described for strontium isotopes from samples of various chemical and isotopic compositions. The results demonstrate spectrally resolved measurements of the three individual ⁸⁶Sr, ⁸⁷Sr, and ⁸⁸Sr isotopes that are quantified using multivariate calibration of spectra. The observed isotopic shifts are consistent with those calculated theoretically. The measured spectra of diatomic oxide and halides of strontium generated in laser ablation plasmas demonstrate the isotopic resolution and capability of LAMIS. In particular, emission spectra of SrO and SrF molecular radicals provided clean and well resolved spectral signatures for the naturally occurring strontium isotopes. A possibility is discussed of using LAMIS of strontium isotopes for radiogenic age determination.     

The Internal Bremsstrahlung Accompanying the β-Decay from 185W

The internal bremsstrahlung (IB) spectrum accompanying the β-decay from ¹⁸⁵W radionuclide has been measured. The obtained spectrum was analyzed into its constituting gamma lines taking into account all the proper corrections. The analyzed spectrum was compared with those theoretically calculated. The experimental results for the IB probability were found to be in good agreement with theoretical calculations especially with the shape corrected modified KUB theory of Nilsson up to 357.7 keV.
