Continuation theorem of fractional order evolutionary integral equations

The fractional order evolutionary integral equations have been considered by the first author in [6], the existence, uniqueness and some other properties of the solution have been proved. Here we study the continuation of the solution and its fractional order derivative. Also we study the generality of this problem and prove that the fractional order diffusion problem, the fractional order wave problem and the initial value problem of the equation of evolution are special cases of it. The abstract diffusion-wave problem will be given also as an application.     

Group method analysis of magneto-elastico-viscous flow along a semi-infinite flat plate with heat transfer

The group theoretic method is applied for solving problem of the flow of an elastico-viscous liquid past an infinite flat plate in the presence of a magnetic field normal to the plate. The application of one-parameter transformation group reduces the number of independent variables, by one, and consequently the system of governing partial differential equations with boundary conditions reduces to a system of ordinary differential equations with appropriate corresponding conditions. Numerical solution of the velocity field and heat transfer have been obtained. The effect of the magnetic parameter M on velocity field, shear stress, temperature fields and heat transfer has been discussed.     

Effects of vitrification suppression on structure morphology, conductivity and dielectric properties of vanadium phosphate glasses

Vitrification suppression in the (V₂O₅)_1−x (P₂O₅)_x glasses where x=0.10, 0.15, 0.20, and 0.25 was controlled by changing the rate of quenching glasses. The structure variations occurring in the glasses were detected by differential thermal analysis and optical microscope. The results implied the separation and growth of V₂O₅ orthorhombic microcrystal in the samples with x=0.10 and 0.15 whereas other samples did not illustrate remarkable changes in their microstructure. However, in temperature range between 300 and 473 K a semiconducting behavior for all samples appears during the study of electrical conductivity-temperature dependence. A decrease in conductivity values accompanied with some variations in activation energies by reducing quenching rate was observed. The conductivity results suggested that the conduction occurs by the phonon assisted hopping of a small polaron between V⁴⁺ and V⁵⁺ states at relatively higher temperature range above θ_D/2. Whereas at relatively low temperatures the conduction may occur by electron jumping between filled and empty states at Fermi level in the disordered matrix besides polaronic conduction. Reasonable values for the density of localized states, carrier concentration and carrier mobility were estimated and discussed. Also, dielectric constant and dielectric loss were studied as a function of frequency at different temperatures confirming the structure variations in the glass system.     

A class of subgrid-scale models preserving the symmetry group of Navier–Stokes equations

Navier–Stokes equations (NS) admit transformations which transform a solution to another solution (galilean transformation, scaling transformation, …). They also admit viscosity dependent transformations which transform a solution to a solution of another NS with different viscosity. These particular transformations are called symmetries of NS. Each of them has a physical role (such as conservation laws, …). A consistent turbulence model should then remain invariant under these symmetry transformations. Unfortunately, this is not the case of several models.In this article, a class of subgrid-scale models preserving the symmetries of NS is built. This class is then refined such that the models respect the second law of thermodynamics. One of the simplest models of the class is tested to the flow in a ventilated room. Better results than those provided by Smagorinsky and dynamic models are obtained.     

Hedgehogs in Wilson loops and phase transition in SU(2) Yang–Mills theory

We suggest that the gauge-invariant hedgehog-like structures in the Wilson loops are physically interesting degrees of freedom in the Yang–Mills theory. The trajectories of these “hedgehog loops” are closed curves corresponding to center-valued (untraced) Wilson loops and are characterized by the center charge and winding number. We show numerically in the SU(2) Yang–Mills theory that the density of hedgehog structures in the thermal Wilson–Polyakov line is very sensitive to the finite-temperature phase transition. The (additively normalized) hedgehog line density behaves like an order parameter: The density is almost independent of the temperature in the confinement phase and changes substantially as the system enters the deconfinement phase. In particular, our results suggest that the (static) hedgehog lines may be relevant degrees of freedom around the deconfinement transition and thus affect evolution of the quark–gluon plasma in high-energy heavy-ion collisions.     

Dynamics of Random One-Dimensional ±J Systems

Finite chains of a two-state random Potts spin model with periodic boundary conditions are studied within Glauber dynamics. The spin exchange is assumed random with frustration between ferro and antiferromagnetic values (±J). Time-dependent fluctuations are induced by periodic temperature oscillations. Master type differential equations for spin correlation functions are solved within linear response theory. The spectrum of relaxation times are calculated at different temperatures. The ±J Potts glass chains undergo a zero temperature phase transition. The barriers against inversion of the spin chain take only two values; 0 and 2|J|. The temperature behaviour of specific heat is characterized by rounded peaks. The frequency dependence displays two plateaus for the real part of specific heat and two corresponding peaks for the imaginary part. The dynamic specific heat is not affected by the longest relaxing mode like susceptibility. The time separation of the modes is demonstrated by the Cole-Cole plots.     

Activation energies for metastable to stable phase transition of 4,4'-di-n-heptyl- oxyazoxybenzene

Complexes of adenine, AdH, with cobalt, nickel and copper chlorides were prepared and their thermodynamic functions were determined. The complexing processes are endothermic in nature. The thermal behaviour of complexes was followed up by using TG and DTA analyses. The stoichiometry of thermal decomposition of the investigated complexes was suggested. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Analysis of tungsten-containing mixtures and some alloy steels by potentiometric titration methods

Reliable potentiometric titration methods are adopted for the analysis of tungsten mixtures analogous to some industrially important alloys such as low alloy tap steel, tungsten chisel, and high speed steels. Tungsten is separated as Hg₂WO₄ and unreacted Hg(I) is titrated with KBr. The techniques of oxidation with I₂ or reduction with KI and use of the selective arsenite reduction of Cr(VI) and/or Mn(IV) in the presence of V(V) or Fe(III) make it possible to determine alloy components without tedious separations. In all titrations the potential break is sharp enough for the precise establishment of the end point.     

Regioselective Synthesis of Substituted Triazolium Salts <Emphasis Type="Italic">via</Emphasis> 1,3-Dipolar Cycloaddition Reactions

Summary. The regioselectivity of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions of 1-aza-2-azoniaallene salts with ,-unsaturated nitriles such as acrylonitrile or cyclohexylidene acetonitrile afforded only 1,2,4-triazolium salts via addition to the nitrile group, while the other expected pyrazolium salts were not observed. Moreover, 1-aza-2-azonia-allene salts reacted with other competitive systems such as -iminonitrile derivatives yielding only triazolium salts via addition to the nitrile and not to the imino group. Treatment of cumulene with 3-pyridylnitrile afforded the pyridinium salt. However, 2,3-dimethyl-5-(2,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-[1,2,4]triazole could be prepared from cumulene and 2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile. Some reactions of nitriles with 1-aza-2-azonia-allene salts prepared from 1,2,3-indantrione and 9-acetylphenanthrene are discussed.     

Characterization of a Novel Tellurite Selective Electrode

Tellurium was determined by introducing a solid membrane for the selective determination of tellurite ion. An electrode composed of a compressed disk containing a mixture of HgTeO₃and Hg₂Cl₂was found to give a typical Nernstian response of 29 mV/concentration decade for the concentration range 10⁻⁵to 10⁻¹M). The connection was made by Hg metal instead of aqueous inner filling. The optimum pH was 3.5–10.5. The selectivity of the electrode toward several inorganic and organic anions was estimated. The electrode was applied to the determination of tellurium in binary mixtures with a mean recovery of 98.99% and relative standard deviation range of 0.19–0.51%.
