Noether-Form Invariance of Nonholonomic Controllable Mechanical Systems in Phase Space

In this paper, we study the Noether-form invariance of nonholonomic mechanical controllable systems in phase space. Equations of motion of the controllable mechanical systems in phase space are presented. The definition and the criterion for this system are presented. A new conserved quantity and the Noether conserved quantity deduced from the Noether-form invariance are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Bestimmung von Verunreinigungen in Silizium mit Hilfe der Aktivierungsanalyse

Mittels Aktivierungsanalyse wurde der Gehalt an Arsen, Antimon, Kupfer, Phosphor und Zink in Halbleitersilizium bestimmt. Die Methode besteht aus zwei Schritten:

1. Gruppentrennung durch Anionenaustausch mit einem Gemisch von Salz- und Fluorwasserstoffsäure,

2. Selektive substöchiometrische Extraktion von Arsen und Kupfer mit Diäthyldithiocarbamat, von Antimon mit Cupferron und von Zink mit Dithizon. Phosphor wurde extraktiv als Phosphomolybdat abgetrennt.     

Free Subgroups in the Units of ℤ[K 8 × C p ]

Abstract

Marciniak and Sehgal (Marciniak, Z., Sehgal, S. K. (1997). Constructing free subgroups of integral group rings units. Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.125(4):1005–1009) constructed free subgroups in U(?[G]) whenever Ghas a non normal finite subgroup. In this paper we construct free subgroups in U(?[G]), where Gis a group whose subgroups are all normal.     

Systematic remarks on objectivity and frame-indifference,liquid crystal theory as an example

In this paper objectivity and material frame-indifference are systematically discussed, because changing the observer and changing the motion of a material with respect to an observer independent standard frame of reference have to be distinguished carefully. Objectivity and observer invariance of the physical laws and of the constitutive mappings are introduced. Semi-objectivity and objectivity of different time derivative operators are investigated. As examples, changing the observer in liquid crystal theory and changing the motion in linear heat conducting materials is considered.     

Finite-size scaling corrections for the eight-vertex model

Finite-size scaling corrections are calculated analytically for two of the maximal eigenvalues of the transfer matrix in the isotropic eight-vertex model. The valuec=1 for the conformal anomaly of the Virasoro algebra is confirmed.     

The selective introduction of organometallic markers into estrogens. A-ring propargylation of β-estradiol

Introduction of the propargyl dicobalt hexacarbonyl moiety onto the estradiol A ring as a potential probe in receptor studies requires protection of the ring phenolic group, and the regio-selectivity of the attack (2- versus 4-position) depends on the bulkiness of the organometallic carbenium ion.     

Rotational invariance in the three-dimensional lattice Boltzmann method is dependent on the choice of lattice

The lattice Boltzmann method has recently gained popularity as a tool for simulating complex fluid flows. It uses discrete sets of velocity vectors, or lattices, to create a reduced model of the molecular dynamics of a continuum fluid. While several lattices are believed to behave isotropically, there are reports of qualitatively incorrect results. However, thus far, the reason as to why a lack of isotropy occurs is not known. Based on the hypothesis that lower order lattices may not display rotational invariance, this study tests the isotropy of the D3Q15, D3Q19 and D3Q27 lattices by performing simulations at intermediate Reynolds numbers (50–500) and low Knudsen number (<0.0005) in an axisymmetrical geometry with a nozzle leading to a throat followed by a sudden expansion. The symmetry properties of the results were examined. It was found that at Re ? 250 the D3Q15 and D3Q19 lattices produced different results depending on the plane of the lattice with which the flow was aligned. Lattice planes with fewer than six velocity vectors consistently produced results which were qualitatively different from the planes with six or more velocity vectors. These errors were not observed at Re = 50 or when a D3Q27 lattice was used. They appeared to be independent of grid density, collision operator and Ma. This suggests that the lattices which contain these planes are not fully isotropic and therefore do not properly replicate the behavior of a real fluid in this particular situation, notably downstream from the expansion. Predictions made using these models in more complex geometries may therefore be affected by the orientation of the lattice. When using LBM in CFD simulation (including validation) this study highlights the need for caution to ensure that the solution obtained is independent of the lattice orientation throughout the domain.     

确定聚类数目的一个准则

Aiming to provide an appropriate number K of clusters, in this paper, we propose a new criterion function - H criterion function, whose three properties have also been proved. We validate the performance of the H criterion function on one artificial dataset and three real-world datasets, and the results are almostly consistent with a previous method. The nonparametric criterion we proposed is intuitive, simple and the computational cost is acceptable.     

Critical exponents of Manhattan Hamiltonian walks in two dimensions,from Potts andO(n) models

We consider a set of Hamiltonian circuits filling a Manhattan lattice, i.e., a square lattice with alternating traffic regulation. We show that the generating function (with fugacityz) of this set is identical to the critical partition function of aq-state Potts model on an unoriented square lattice withq ^1/2 =z. The set of critical exponents governing correlations of Hamiltonian circuits is derived using a Coulomb gas technique. These exponents are also found to be those of an O(n) vector model in the low-temperature phase withn =q ^1/2 =z. The critical exponents in the limitz = 0 are then those of spanning trees (q= 0) and of dense polymers (n=0,T < T_c), corresponding to a conformal theory with central chargeC = –2. This shows that the Manhattan orientation and the Hamiltonian constraint of filling all the lattice are irrelevant for the infrared critical properties of Hamiltonian walks.
