A convergent low-temperature expansion for a variety of models of twodimensional surfaces is presented. It yields existence of the thermodynamic limit for the pressure and correlation functions as well as analyticity inz =e– In addition, the estimates give exponential decay of truncated correlations, which proves the existence of a gap in the spectrum of the transfer matrix below the ground state eigenvalue. Two particular examples included in the general framework are the solid-on-solid and discrete Gaussian models.Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under grant No. PHY 79-16812. 相似文献
A comparison is made of the chemisorption behavior of H2 and CO over a carbided and nitrided Ni(100) surface. These results together with previous results for S and Cl support the argument that adatom electronegativity rather than radius is primarily responsible for modification of chemisorption behavior. 相似文献
This article extends previous results on the Pompeiu problem with moments. On the
Heisenberg group the results previously considered for L2(Hn) have been extended to the function
spaces Lp(Hn) for 1 p . In the case of L(Hn), the conclusions recover differential
conditions comparable to those observed in the Euclidean space Cn. 相似文献
For n-vertex outerplanar graphs, it is proven that O(n2.87) is an upper bound on the number of breakpoints of the function which gives the maximum weight of an independent set, where the vertex weights vary as linear functions of a parameter. An O(n2.87) algorithm for finding the solution is proposed. 相似文献
In this paper we give the precise index growth for the embedded hypersurfaces of revolution with constant mean curvature
(cmc) 1 in (Delaunay unduloids). When n=3, using the asymptotics result of Korevaar, Kusner and Solomon, we derive an explicit asymptotic index growth rate for finite
topology cmc 1 surfaces with properly embedded ends. Similar results are obtained for hypersurfaces with cmc bigger than 1
in hyperbolic space.

In the classic blockmodel formulation, a social network among members of a population with n actors and k relations (types of tie) is arrayed as k n X n matrices. Though this is a three‐dimensional data structure, it is typically reduced to a two‐way analysis. In this paper, a three‐way procedure for analyzing multigraph data is developed. Specifically, in addition to applying the rule of structural equivalence to collapse actors, it is also applied to the relations (the third dimension), and structurally equivalent sets of relations are collapsed. The result is a three‐dimensional blockmodel (image) of social structure that is a more parsimonious representation of social structure than the classic two‐dimensional blockmodel images. The three‐dimensional approach is illustrated by application to three case studies: Homan's Bank Wiring Room, Sampson's monastery, and a local economy of hospital services. The structural equivalence approach to relations is further explored by applying it to the individual‐level Liking and Antagonism relations and their compounds (of length four or less) in the Bank Wiring Room. This application demonstrates that the structural equivalence approach can be used to identify equality equations for primitive and compound relations. 相似文献
This paper discusses how gamma irradiation plants are putting the latest advances in computer and information technology to use for better process control, cost savings, and strategic advantages.
Some irradiator operations are gaining significant benefits by integrating computer technology and robotics with real-time information processing, multi-user databases, and communication networks. The paper reports on several irradiation facilities that are making good use of client/server LANs, user-friendly graphics interfaces, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, distributed I/O with real-time sensor devices, trending analysis, real-time product tracking, dynamic product scheduling, and automated dosimetry reading. These plants are lowering costs by fast and reliable reconciliation of dosimetry data, easier validation to GMP requirements, optimizing production flow, and faster release of sterilized products to market.
There is a trend in the manufacturing sector towards total automation using “predictive process control”. Real-time verification of process parameters “on-the-run” allows control parameters to be adjusted appropriately, before the process strays out of limits. Applying this technology to the gamma radiation process, control will be based on monitoring the key parameters such as time, and making adjustments during the process to optimize quality and throughput. Dosimetry results will be used as a quality control measurement rather than as a final monitor for the release of the product. Results are correlated with the irradiation process data to quickly and confidently reconcile variations. Ultimately, a parametric process control system utilizing responsive control, feedback and verification will not only increase productivity and process efficiency, but can also result in operating within tighter dose control set points. 相似文献
The unique catalytic activity of supported Au nanoparticles has been ascribed to various effects including thickness/shape, the metal oxidation state, and support effects. Previously, we reported the synthesis of ordered Au monolayers and bilayers on TiO(x), with the latter being significantly more active for CO oxidation than the former. In the present study, the electronic and chemical properties of ordered monolayer and bilayer Au films have been characterized by infrared reflection adsorption spectroscopy using CO as a probe and ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. The Au overlayers are found to be electron-rich and to have significantly different electronic properties compared with bulk Au. The common structural features of ordered Au bilayers and Au bilayer nanoparticles on TiO2(110) are described, and the exceptionally high catalytic activity of the Au bilayer structure related to its unique electronic properties. 相似文献
Reaction of iron(0) carbene complexes with hexafluorobut-2-yne produces 3,4-bis(trifluoromethylated)furans in a process that is favored for electron-rich carbenes. No traces of furannulation or benzannulation are observed with Group 6 Fischer carbenes. Reaction of hexafluorobut-2-yne with a vinylketene iron(0) complex gives a 2,3-bis-trifluoromethylated phenol. 相似文献
