We give sufficient conditions for a sequence to have theQ-order and/or theR-order of convergence greater than one. If an additional condition is satisfied, then the sequence has an exactQ-order of convergence. We show that our results are sharp and we compare them with older results.This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. DMS-85-03365.

Flow injection methodology based on sample insertion between two different standard solutions used as carrier streams is described. This approach provides a simple system for continuous recalibration in process control; spectrophotometric and ion-selective electrode procedures are outlined. 相似文献
We build explicitly an infinite number of equilibrium solutions of unloaded Marguerre–von Kármán membrane shells. This construction is based upon the existence of three elementary solutions, together with the solution of a Monge–Ampère equation associated with a partition of the reference configuration of the shell.

Solid State Reaction was employed to prepare phospho-olivines LiMPO4 (where M=Fe, Co) as pure phase and LiNiPO4 in presence of foreign phases, as cathodic materials for lithiumions batteries. The relationship between structural, morphological
and electrochemical properties were investigated in the case of LiFePO4. Structural investigation has been carried out by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Rietveld refinement. The influence
on the morphology of annealing temperature, different flowing gas mixture and addition of ascorbic acid during the synthesis,
has been analysed via scanning electron microscopy. The electrochemical cycling performances on LiFePO4 showed to be positively affected by the modifications of the experimental conditions. Cyclic voltammetry showed a good reversibility
during insertion-extraction mechanism, in particular in presence of additives. LiCoPO4 and LiNiPO4 are interesting as high voltage cathode materials for Li-ion batteries and have been taken into account, but their electrochemical
operating conditions are still to be optimised. In the case of LiNiPO4 it is very difficult to obtain, by solid state synthesis, suitable purity powders, having a grain size small enough to exploit
it usefully as cathodic material for Li-ion cells.

We propose a thermodynamic framework for describing the microwave drying process of aqueous dielectrics based on Maxwell-Lorentz Field equations and mixture theory. Several issues are discussed such as the form of entropy equation; the constitutive relations for the macroscopic electric polarization vectors, Cauchy stresses, heat fluxes, internal momentum supplies, etc., for each component of the mixture: porous solid, water and gas in different regions; and the interfacial jump conditions between different regions in the mixture. A brief examination of the status of material frame indifference within the context of our framework is presented. 相似文献
The surface morphology evolution of Ni/W alloys was studied, as a function of the alloy composition. Using the modified plating baths developed in our laboratory recently, electroplated Ni/W alloys with different W content, in the range of 7–67 atom percent (a/o), can be obtained. This was found to lead to different structures, ranging from polycrystalline fcc-Ni type structure to amorphous, followed by orthorhombic with increasing W content in the alloy. Powder XRD was studied to determine the crystal structures. Ex situ STM, AFM and SEM were used to study in detail the surface morphologies of the different alloys, and their evolution with increasing W content.
The important findings are that a mixture of two crystalline forms can give rise to an amorphous structure. Hillocks that are usually a characteristic of epitaxial growth can also exist in the amorphous alloys. Oriented scratches caused by stress can also be formed.
Up to 20 a/o of W is deposited in the alloys in crystalline form, with the fcc-Ni type structure. Between 20 and about 40 a/o an amorphous structure is observed, and above that an orthorhombic crystal structure is seen, which is characteristic of the NiW binary alloy. Careful choice of the composition of the plating bath allowed us to deposit an alloy containing 67 a/o W, which corresponds to the composition NiW2. 相似文献
The inference of optical depth and particle size of clouds and aerosols using remotely sensed reflected radiance at solar wavelengths has received much attention recently. The information these measurements provide is path integrated. However, very little is known about the vertical distribution of this weighting. To characterize it, we first solve the radiative transfer equation (RTE) by a Green's function approach, and then investigate the sensitivity of the weighting to vertical inhomogeneities in the extinction by introducing a function that is closely related to the Green's function, herein called the contribution function. This function calculates the contributions to the radiance at the upper boundary of the medium by underlying layers. Three hypothetical clouds of identical optical depth but exhibiting different extinction profiles were used in this study. The contribution function was found very sensitive to the extinction profile. The global reflection and transmission matrices used to construct the Green's function, derived using an eigenmatrix method, resulted in an efficient, stable, and accurate method for calculating the emerging radiances that can be extended to multi-layered media. 相似文献
