Solubility of gases in liquids. 18. High-precision determination of Henry fugacities for argon in liquid water at 2 to 40°C

The solubility of argon in pure liquid water was measured at ca. 100 kPa and from 2 to 40°C using an analytical method characterized by an imprecision of about ±0.05%. From the experimental results, Henry fugacities H _2,1 (T,P _s,1 ) (also known as Henry's Law constants or Henry coefficients) at the vapor pressure P _s,1 of water as well as Ostwald coefficients L _2,1 at infinite dilution were obtained. Measurements were made at roughly 0.5°C and/or 1° intervals between 2 and 8°C (region I), and at 5°C intervals above 10°C (region II). A difference plot lnH _2,1 /T suggests an unusual temperature dependence in region I, i.e., between 2 and 8°C. Because of this, the data were treated separately in two parts corresponding to these two regions. Our results are compared with the recent high-precision data of Krause and Benson (Henry fugacities), and with calorimetrically determined quantities (enthalpies and heat capacities of solution). Finally, experimental results are compared with values calculated via scaled particle theory.Communicated in part at the 2^nd International Symposium on Solubility Phenomena in Newark, New Jersey, August 12–15, 1986, and at the 4^th ISSP in Troy, New York, July 20–August 3, 1990.     

The Sheffer group and the Riordan group

We define the Sheffer group of all Sheffer-type polynomials and prove the isomorphism between the Sheffer group and the Riordan group. An equivalence of the Riordan array pair and generalized Stirling number pair is also presented. Finally, we discuss a higher dimensional extension of Riordan array pairs.     

Half Inverse Riordan Arrays and Their Related Vertical Recurrence Relation

We discuss two different procedures to study the half Riordan arrays and their inverses. One of the procedures shows that every Riordan array is the half Riordan array of a unique Riordan array. It is well known that every Riordan array has its half Riordan array. Therefore, this paper answers the converse question: Is every Riordan array the half Riordan array of some Riordan arrays? In addition, this paper shows that the vertical recurrence relation of the column entries of the half Riordan array is equivalent to the horizontal recurrence relation of the original Riordan array''s row entries.     

Derivation of Maximum Entropy Principles in Two-Dimensional Turbulence via Large Deviations

The continuum limit of lattice models arising in two-dimensional turbulence is analyzed by means of the theory of large deviations. In particular, the Miller–Robert continuum model of equilibrium states in an ideal fluid and a modification of that model due to Turkington are examined in a unified framework, and the maximum entropy principles that govern these models are rigorously derived by a new method. In this method, a doubly indexed, measure-valued random process is introduced to represent the coarse-grained vorticity field. The natural large deviation principle for this process is established and is then used to derive the equilibrium conditions satisfied by the most probable macrostates in the continuum models. The physical implications of these results are discussed, and some modeling issues of importance to the theory of long-lived, large-scale coherent vortices in turbulent flows are clarified.     

Characterization of $(c)$-Riordan Arrays, Gegenbauer-Humbert-Type Polynomial Sequences, and $(c)$-Bell Polynomials

Here presented are the definitions of(c)-Riordan arrays and(c)-Bell polynomials which are extensions of the classical Riordan arrays and Bell polynomials.The characterization of(c)-Riordan arrays by means of the A-and Z-sequences is given,which corresponds to a horizontal construction of a(c)-Riordan array rather than its definition approach through column generating functions.There exists a one-to-one correspondence between GegenbauerHumbert-type polynomial sequences and the set of(c)-Riordan arrays,which generates the sequence characterization of Gegenbauer-Humbert-type polynomial sequences.The sequence characterization is applied to construct readily a(c)-Riordan array.In addition,subgrouping of(c)-Riordan arrays by using the characterizations is discussed.The(c)-Bell polynomials and its identities by means of convolution families are also studied.Finally,the characterization of(c)-Riordan arrays in terms of the convolution families and(c)-Bell polynomials is presented.     

Characterization of compactly supported refinable splines with integer matrix

Let M be an integer matrix with absolute values of all its eigenvalues being greater than 1. We give a characterization of compactly supported M-refinable splines f and the conditions that the shifts of f form a Riesz basis.     

P分之一Riordan矩阵及恒等式构造

For an integer p≥2 we construct vertical and horizontal one-pth Riordan arrays from a Riordan array.When p=2 one-pth Riordan arrays are reduced to well known half Riordan arrays.The generating functions of the A-sequences of vertical and horizontal one-pth Riordan arrays are found.The vertical and horizontal one-pth Riordan arrays provide an approach to construct many identities.They can also be used to verify some well known identities readily.
