Invariability of Trivial Extensions of Tilted Algebras Under Stable Equivalences

As a sequel to [8], we investigate here the behaviour of thetrivial extensions of tilted algebras under stable equivalence.It will be shown that if a finite-dimensional symmetric algebra is stably equivalent to the trivial extension of a tilted algebraB, then is the trivial extension of some tilted algebra A whichhas the same type as B.     

Luikov equations applicable to sublimation-drying

Present paper presents a derivation of Luikov equations applicable to sublimation-drying. The physical situation and transfer mechanism are elucidated clearly. The coefficients appearing in Luikov equations are given in a more explicit way. Some formulation mistakes in recent publications are indicated.

Anwendung der Luikov-Gleichungen auf die Sublimationstrocknung

Zusammenfassung Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf eine Ableitung der Luikov-Gleichungen, mittels deren sich der Vorgang der Sublimationstrocknung analysieren läßt. Physikalische Anfangssituation und Austauschmechanismen werden klar herausgestellt und die in den Luikov-Gleichungen auftretenden Koeffizienten in expliziter Weise angegeben. Ferner erfolgt Hinweis auf Formulierungsfehler in jüngeren Veröffentlichungen.

Variational aspects of the Seiberg-Witten functional

The Seiberg-Witten equations that have recently found important applications for four-dimensional geometry are the Euler-Lagrange equations for a functional involving a connection A on a line bundleL and a section of another bundleW ⁺ constructed fromL and a spinor bundle on a given four-dimensional Riemannian manifold. We show the regularity of weak solutions and the Palais-Smale condition for this functional.     

Parametric normalization for full-energy peak count rates obtained at different geometries

The Effective Interaction Depth (EID) law has been systematically studied and applied to parametric normalization for peak count rates obtained at different source-detector distances (S-D). The errors caused by EID normalization are less than 4% over the full range of S-D (from to several mm) for true coincidence-free -rays. Parametric corrections for the true coincidence (summing) effect are also established, based on simplified decay schemes and P/T ratio determinations. The total response of Ge detector for single-energy -rays (T) is clearly defined with scattering contributions from surroundings included. Errors from summing effect corrections are also less than 4%. The combined EID normalization and summing effect corrections give an error no greater than 5.7% for the worst situations (several mm S-D and cascade-crossover decay scheme), acceptable for most practical K₀ NAA.
