Dispersion effects in unreplicated factorial designs

Methods for estimation of dispersion effects in two‐level unreplicated factorial designs are studied. The consequences of non‐constant variance are discussed. A natural assumption concerning the form of the covariance of location effects leads to a particular normal model. Some linear combinations of the response variables are constructed in order to make a simple structure for inference. The precision of point estimators of dispersion effects, where one is based on experiments with replicates, are compared. A numerical example is given as an illustration of a test. Finally, estimations in fractional designs are described and discussed. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Compatible Dubrovin–Novikov Hamiltonian Operators,Lie Derivative,and Integrable Systems of Hydrodynamic Type

We prove that two Dubrovin–Novikov Hamiltonian operators are compatible if and only if one of these operators is the Lie derivative of the other operator along a certain vector field. We consider the class of flat manifolds, which correspond to arbitrary pairs of compatible Dubrovin–Novikov Hamiltonian operators. Locally, these manifolds are defined by solutions of a system of nonlinear equations, which is integrable by the method of the inverse scattering problem. We construct the integrable hierarchies generated by arbitrary pairs of compatible Dubrovin–Novikov Hamiltonian operators.     

More on the analysis of local regularity through wavelets

In this paper we want to extend the results of pointwise analysis through wavelet transforms to the class of functions where the local fluctuation is bounded by any submultiplicative function. This generalizez the results obtained before in the well-known case of Hölder regularity.     

Wind field deduced from marine SAR images

Summary A recently improved model capable of extracting the wind field from SAR imagery without the aid of ?sea truth? is applied to ERS-1 SAR data for the Mediterranean Sea. The model is based on the properties of the relationship between the first two moments of the probabilistic distribution function of SAR signals as well as on spectral analysis of the SAR signal itself.     

Micro-thermal analysis of thermal conductance distribution in advanced silicon nitrides

A micro-thermal analysis technique was applied to investigate advanced silicon nitride materials, which exhibit high thermal conductivity. Local thermal properties in the microstructure were evaluated, and the grain boundaries were observed to have lower thermal conductance than the Si₃N₄ grains. It was found that thermal conductance both in the grains and boundaries was lowered by the addition of the sintering aid Al₂O₃, which is soluble in Si₃N₄ grains. This indicates that high thermal conductivity in silicon nitride ceramics is achieved both by grain growth, leading to a reduction in boundary density, and by eliminating soluble elements in silicon nitride grains. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Phase Distribution Measurement of Light Wave by Adaptive Control of Pupil Function with Local Algorithm

In developing a new method to measure the phase distribution of a light wave utilizing the adaptive control of the pupil function with a liquid crystal panel, the optimization procedure for the adaptive control is shown to improve when a local algorithm is adopted. The feasibility of the proposed system is confirmed by computer simulation as well as by some basic experiments.     

Derivate des Borabenzols. 25 [1]. Methylbis(1-methylboratabenzol)indium: Synthese und Struktur. Ein Beispiel für die Variabilität weicher molekularer Strukturparameter unter dem Einfluß der Kristallgitterkräfte

Borabenzene Derivatives. 25 [1]. Methylbis(1-methylboratabenzene)indium: Synthesis and Structure. An Example for the Variability of Soft Structural Parameters in the Crystalline Environment The new boratabenzene derivative InMe(C₅H₅BMe)₂ has been synthesized from 2-(Me₃Sn)C₅H₅BMe and InMe₃. The compound proves fluxional on the nmr time scale with average C_2v symmetry in solution. An x-ray structure determination shows the existence of four molecules in the asymmetric unit differing mainly in the bonding geometry of the metal atoms with respect to the eight symmetrically independent boratabenzene ligands. Thus the dynamical behaviour in solution is reflected in the solid state by the soft structural parameters of the indium-ring coordination, with their variability exceeding the standard deviations of the corresponding individual observations by an order of magnitude.     

Surface orbital magnetism

We compute the surface correction to the density of states of a particle in a convex box subjected to a magnetic field. Applying these results to orbital magnetism, we find that at high temperatures or weak magnetic fields the surface magnetization is always paramagnetic, but oscillations appear at low temperatures. In two dimensions they can give very large paramagnetic contributions near integer values of the filling factor. Explicit formulas are given for the zero-field susceptibility and for samples with a cylindrical shape in arbitrary magnetic field.     

Angular Distribution of Hyperfine Magnetic Field in Fe3O4 and Fe66Ni34 from Mössbauer Polarimetry

Nuclear resonance studies of the two different types impurity doped potassium hexachloro-stannates, the isomorphic system such as (K–Rb)₂SnCl₆ and K₂(Sn–Re)Cl₆ and the nonisomorphic system K₂SnCl₆:Al³⁺ in the high temperature cubic phase revealed contrasting features with one the other characterized by static in the former and dynamic feature in the latter case respectively. The resonance spectra of the nonisomorphic system indicate additionally a sign of the local structural transition above the conventional structural phase transition temperature. This seems to be triggered by the ligand-deficient octahedral defects and can be explained in terms of the enhanced activity of the octahedral defects for the hindered rotation.
