Measurements of the second-sound velocity in dilute 3He4He mixtures

A Helmholtz resonator was used to measure the velocity of second sound in dilute solutions of ³He in ⁴He. The results are compared with values reported by Brubaker et al. and de Voogt et al.     

An M/G/1 queueing model with vacation times

This paper deals with an M/G/1 queueing system with finite capacity for the workload, where the workload at timet is defined as the total amount of work in the system at timet. When the server provides service he will continue servicing until the system becomes empty, after which he leaves the system for a stochastic period of time, which will be called a vacation. When the server, returning from a vacation, finds the system still empty, he leaves for another vacation, otherwise he immediately starts servicing again.Using an embedding approach several characteristics of this system are derived amongst which the joint stationary distribution of the workload and the stage of the server.

Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit befaßt sich mit einem M/G/1 Wartesystem, das hinsichtlich der anstehenden Arbeit eine endliche Kapazität hat. Wenn der Bediener tätig ist, bleibt er es solange, bis das System leer ist. Danach ist er während einer stochastischen Pausenzeit nicht verfügbar. Ist am Ende einer Pausenzeit das System immer noch leer, so schließt sich eine weitere Pausenzeit an; ansonsten wird unverzüglich die Bedienung am Ende der Pausenzeit wieder aufgenommen.Unter Verwendung eines eingebetteten Prozesses werden mehrere Kenngrößen des Systems ermittelt, darunter z.B. die gemeinsame Verteilung von anstehender Arbeit und Zustand des Bedieners.

     

A study of the reactions208Pb(d,d)208Pb and208Pb(d,p)209Pb at energies above and below the Coulomb barrier

The reactions²⁰⁸Pb(d, d)²⁰⁸Pb and²⁰⁸Pb(d, p)²⁰⁹Pb have been studied in the energy region from below to above the Coulomb barrier. An optical-model analysis of the elastic scattering results has been performed to obtain parameters for a DWBA analysis. Distorted wave calculations for the direct transitions leading to single-particle states in²⁰⁹Pb have been used to extract spectroscopic factors. Only two deuteron potential sets give a good account of the stripping data throughout the energy region studied.

Conditions are obtained for the truncated birth-death process to be stochastically monotone in the long run.     

Dispersion interactions between unexcited molecules possessing axial symmetry: Arbitrary-order contributions

The ground-state dispersion energy of a pair of axially symmetric molecules is calculated, to arbitrary order in the inverse intermolecular separation, on the basis of London's anisotropic oscillator model.     

The beta decay of176m Lu

The shape factors of the 1^?→2⁺ and 1^?→0⁺ beta transitions and theβ-γ directional correlation of^176m Lu have been measured. An analysis in terms of nuclear matrix elements is given.
