Reversible nonlinear conduction in high‐density polyethylene/acetylene carbon black composites at various ambient temperatures

The reversible nonlinear conduction (RNC) in of high‐density polyethylene/acetylene carbon black composites with different degrees of crosslinking was studied above room temperature and below the melting point of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE). The experimental current density‐electric field strength curves can be overlapped onto a master curve, suggesting that the microscopic mechanisms for the appearance of RNC exist regardless of the ambient temperature and the crosslinking degree of the HDPE matrix. The relationship between the crossover current density and the linear conductivity can be explained in the framework of the dynamic random‐resistor‐network model. According to these results, two electron‐tunneling models are suggested to interpret the microscopic conduction behavior. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The interfacial conformation of polypropylene glycols and foam behaviour

The foam behaviour of low molecular weight polypropylene glycols (PPG) was investigated as a function of concentration and molecular weight (190–2000 g mol⁻¹). For each polypropylene glycol, foam stability increases with concentration and passes through a maximum, beyond which foamability is suppressed as the solubility limit of the glycol is exceeded and droplets of glycol form. Light-scattering data as well as static and dynamic surface tension results provide the key information leading to these interpretations. A maximum in foamability was observed for the PPG molecules with increasing molecular weight (caused by a change in molecular conformation at the interface). This suppresses the Marangoni effect and leads to a decrease in foam stability.     

二氟甲烷分子3a1和2b2轨道的电子动量谱

借助电子动量谱学结合量子化学理论和其他方法可以给出轨道电子在整个空间的分布信息,由此给出电子运动的完备描述[1,2 ] .清华大学电子动量谱学实验室近几年已成功地对甲烷[3] 、异丁烷[4 ] 、环戊烷[5] 、二乙酰等[6 ] 分子的轨道电子动量分布进行了测量.我们利用第二代电子动量谱仪首次对CH2 F2 分子3a1和2b2 轨道的电子动量谱进行测量,并与理论计算结果作了比较.同时还计算了坐标空间和动量空间中电子在x - y平面的密度分布.电子动量谱学最基本的过程是(e ,2e)反应,即电子与靶粒子碰撞而发生的电离过程.而对于(e ,2e)反应,含有大量信…     

Randers space forms

This note chronicles various roles played by the Yasuda-Shimada theorem in some recent developments of Riemann--Finsler geometry. We shall demonstrate that the said theorem is, at various stages of its life, an enigma, an inspiration, a flawed icon, and a powerful catalyst.     

Halogenation effects on the conformational properties of alkanes

The rotational barriers of the CC bonds of halocarbons are believed to be rather different than those of hydrocarbons. We wish to systematically study the effect of halogen substituents on the conformational flexibility of hydrocarbons. As our initial approach to this problem, we have synthesized the following molecules: Pyrene-(CF₂)_n-Pyrene (n=3, 4, and 6) and Pyrene-(CF₂)_n-F (n=4 and 6). We describe here the concentration and temperature dependence of the emissive behavior of these materials.     

The fundamental cycle of concept construction underlying various theoretical frameworks

In this paper, the development of mathematical concepts over time is considered. Particular reference is given to the shifting of attention from step-by-step procedures that are performed in time, to symbolism that can be manipulated as mental entities on paper and in the mind. The development is analysed using different theoretical perspectives, including the SOLO model and various theories of concept construction to reveal a fundamental cycle underlying the building of concepts that features widely in different ways of thinking that occurs throughout mathematical learning.     

半序集下同调的研究概况及Quillen猜想的一个重要方面

１９７８年，Ｄ，Ｑｕｉｌｌｅｎ证明了：若群Ｇ有非平凡的正规ｐ－子群，则由ｐ－子群组成的半序集是可缩的。同时，他还猜想逆定理也成立。１９９３年，Ｍ．Ａｓｃｈｂａｃｈｅｒ和Ｓ．Ｄ．Ｓｍｉｔｈ证明了若群Ｇ不包含某种酉分支的话，则Ｑｕｉｌｌｅｎ猜想的确成立，在他们的证明中，Ｑｕｉｌｌｅｎ所证明的下述定理起着很重要的作用：由基本阿贝耳Ｐ－子群组成的半序集到所有Ｐ－子群组成的半序集的包含映射导出对应下同调的同构。以Ｂｕｃｈｓｂａｕｍ条件为重要的工具，本文将重新叙述此定理的证明。
