Planetenbewegungen des Flaggenraumes

In [8] the author gave a report on some properties of flag space motions, especially of the composition of screw motions or rotations in flag space. Planet motions more generally are motions which can be composed by two one-parameter-groups. These motions are investigated with respect to their orbits, their multiple ways of construction and the tubular surfaces they can determine. Some of them yield tubular screw surfaces, some others move every sphere the way that it again envellopes a sphere. These motions, which have no Euclidean counterpart, determine non-trivial, kinematically generated LIE-transformations in flag space.     

Gasdynamische Untersuchung des Jouleschen Überströmversuches

Zusammenfassung Es wird die zeitabhängige Strömung beim Ausgleichsvorgang zwischen zwei endlichen Behältern untersucht. Den Überlegungen wird eine eindimensionale, reibungsfreie und quasistationäre Strömung zugrunde gelegt. Während bei überkritischer Strömung eine analytische Lösung möglich ist, wird das Problem bei unterkritischer Strömung numerisch gelöst.Dem Druckausgleich zwischen den beiden Behältern folgt ein isobarer Wärme- und Massenaustausch, bis sich das thermodynamische Gleichgewicht eingestellt hat.

Gasdynamical investigation of Joule's overflow experiment

The time-dependent flow of an exchange process between two big insulated tanks is considered. The problem is treated on the basis of a one-dimensional, inviscid and quasi-steady flow. An analytical solution is obtained for supercritical flow, while for subcritical flow the problem is solved numerically.After the pressure-equilibrium between the two-tanks an isobar heat and mass exchange follows, until the thermodynamic equilibrium is reached.

Eine direkt formulierte lineare Theorie für viskoelastische Platten und Schalen

Übersicht Eine Möglichkeit der Entwicklung einer allgemeinen Theorie für Platten und Schalen besteht in der Modellierung des Flächentragwerks durch ein zweidimensionales deformierbares Kontimmm und der direkten Ableitung der kinematischen Beziehungen, der Bewegungsgleichungen und der konstitutiveu Gleichungen. Eine so erhaltene Theorie ist mathematisch und physikalisch widerspruchsfrei, jedoch ist es für ihre Anwendung notwendig, die sogenannten Ersatzeigenschaften zu ermitteln. Im Beitrag wird eine geometrisch und physikalisch lineare Theorie behandelt. Jeder Punkt des Kontinuums ist ein infinitesimal kleiner Starrkörper mit nur 5 Freiheitsgraden (3 Translationen, 2 Rotationen). Bei Annahme dieser Einschränkungen gelingt es, eine Theorie direkt abzuleiten, wobei alle Ersatzeigenschaften des Flächentragwerks bestimmt werden können. Im Beitrag werden die Möglichkeiten der allgemeinen Theorie am Beispiel isotropen viskoelastischen Materials mit über die Dicke veränderlichen Eigenschaften gezeigt. Die Theorie schließt die Betrachtung mehrschichtiger Flächentragwerke ein.

A directly formulated linear theory of viscoelastic plates and shells

Summary One kind to develop a general theory for plates and shells is the modelling of the structure as a two-dimensional deformable continuum and the direct approach to the kinematical relations, equations of motion and constitutive equations. Such a theory is physically and mathematically correct. For the application of such directly formulated theories it is nessecery to identify the so-called effective properties. In the paper the theory is formulated for geometrical and physical linearity. Each point of the continuum is an infinitesimal small rigid body with only 5 degrees of freedom (3 translations, 2 rotations). For such a kinematical assumption it is possible to develop a direct theory and to determinate all effective properties of the structure. The paper demonstrates the possibilities of the general theory for an isotropic viscoelastic plate with material properties varying over the thickness. The theory includes also the analysis of multilayered plates and shells.

     

Plane contact problems for a periodic two-layered elastic composite

Summary This paper deals with the two-dimensional static punch problems in the presence of friction for a periodically layered half-space. Within the framework of the homogenized model of linear elasticity with microlocal parameters [8–11] the exact solutions of the considered problems are obtained. The case of the indentation of the composite body by a rigid rectangular punch has been discussed in detail.

Optimization of scrapping decisions: Theory and applications

Contrary to the variety of models and procedures for optimizing the ordering decision in inventory control theory, no comparable tools exist for the scrapping decision. Thus, the current paper constitutes a step in this direction. Using a simple deterministic model, the basic economics and structure of the problem are introduced first. Then we determine explicitly scrap-optimal turn-around-times as well as the corresponding scrap- and rest-quantities. Accounting for the stochastic nature of demand, the model is generalized and algorithms for determination of optimal scrapping decision are discussed. Finally we compare the results and discuss practical applications.     

Nanoscale organization of the pathogen receptor DC-SIGN mapped by single-molecule high-resolution fluorescence microscopy.

DC-SIGN, a C-type lectin exclusively expressed on dendritic cells (DCs), plays an important role in pathogen recognition by binding with high affinity to a large variety of microorganisms. Recent experimental evidence points to a direct relation between the function of DC-SIGN as a viral receptor and its spatial arrangement on the plasma membrane. We have investigated the nanoscale organization of fluorescently labeled DC-SIGN on intact isolated DCs by means of near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) combined with single-molecule detection. Fluorescence spots of different intensity and size have been directly visualized by optical means with a spatial resolution of less than 100 nm. Intensity- and size-distribution histograms of the DC-SIGN fluorescent spots confirm that approximately 80 % of the receptors are organized in nanosized domains randomly distributed on the cell membrane. Intensity-size correlation analysis revealed remarkable heterogeneity in the molecular packing density of the domains. Furthermore, we have mapped the intermolecular organization within a dense cluster by means of sequential NSOM imaging combined with discrete single-molecule photobleaching. In this way we have determined the spatial coordinates of 13 different individual dyes, with a localization accuracy of 6 nm. Our experimental observations are all consistent with an arrangement of DC-SIGN designed to maximize its chances of binding to a wide range of microorganisms. Our data also illustrate the potential of NSOM as an ultrasensitive, high-resolution technique to probe nanometer-scale organization of molecules on the cell membrane.

The electrocapillarity of polyacrylates

Summary The electrocapillary properties of polyacrylic acid have been studied by two methods. Exploratory measurements have been made of the effect of the polymer on the differential capacity of a mercury drop in 0.1 m sodium perchlorate. They showed that the polymer was strongly adsorbed over a wide range of potentials but that it did not appear to form a monolayer. The surface excess of polymer obtained from drop weight data showed a maximum at very low concentrations and then a decline at higher concentrations. The bulk of the work was carried out by making surface tension measurements, using a sessile mercury drop, in solutions of a fraction of polyacrylic acid (mol. wt. 7.02×10⁴) in potassium chloride at 0.01, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5 m at 25°C.The data have been used to evaluate the surface excesses of the polymer and of the inorganic ions. The distribution of K⁺ and Cl^– in the electrical double layer and the contact adsorption of Cl^– on the mercury were very little affected by the presence of the polymer. The surface excess of polymer was always found to be greatest at low concentrations, to decrease steeply at first as the concentration was increased and then to decrease more slowly at higher concentrations.Possible explanations of this behaviour are discussed and it is concluded that the rapid decrease is a consequence of molecular weight dispersion and the stronger adsorption of high molecular weight polymer. The slow decrease in surface excess at higher concentrations may be a result of configurational changes of the polymer molecules.Surface pressure data show that, despite this decrease in the surface excess, the surface coverage reaches a high level at very low polymer concentrations and then continues to increase slowly as the concentration of polymer is increased. This apparent contradiction is due to changes in configuration of the adsorbed polymer molecules. At higher bulk concentrations the chain configurations are more compact and each adsorbed molecule makes more contacts with and so occupies a greater area of the mercury surface than at low concentrations.The conclusion is reached that the surface excess of polymer is mostly contained in a layer probably more than 1000 Å thick. It consists of a concentrated and entangled mass of polymer chains. Relatively few of these chains are in contact with the mercury at any istant. The concentration in this surface layer decreases steadily with increasing distance from the mercury surface and it merges without discontinuity into the bulk solution.With 10 figures in 22 details
