Nonclassical equations of state for critical and tricritical points

We develop a method by which certain classical equations of state may be modified to produce nonclassical critical scaling behavior. We then apply this method to the classical free energy describing a tricritical point that was originally introduced by Griffiths. The phase behavior of the resulting nonclassical free energy is characterized by the competition between critical scaling and tricritical scaling already envisioned by previous authors.Work supported by the National Science Foundation and the Cornell University Materials Science Center.Footnotes 3–10 of Ref. 1 provide a comprehensive list of experimental investigations of tricritical points in fluid mixtures.     

Randomly transitional phenomena in the system governed by Duffing's equation

This paper deals with turbulent or chaotic phenomena which occur in the system governed by Duffing's equation, a special type of two-dimensional periodic system. By using analog and digital computers, experiments are carried out with special reference to the change of attractors and of average power spectra of the random processes under the variation of the system parameters. On the basis of the experimental results, an outline of the random process is made clear. The results obtained in this paper will be applied to various physical problems and will also serve as material for the development of a proper mathematics of this phenomenon.     

Characteristics of high energy interactions I. High energy gamma-ray spectra near the top of the atmosphere

An emulsion chamber was used to study the characteristics of high energy nuclear interactions from the production spectra ofγ-rays. The emulsion chamber, which comprised of two parts, namely the detector and the graphite producer unit, was exposed to cosmic rays for about 7 hr at an atmospheric depth of 10 g cm⁻² at Hyderabad (geomagnetic latitude 7·6°N). 720 electromagnetic cascades due toγ-rays were recorded in the detector. These cascades were classified into three groups; (a)γ-rays from nuclear interactions in the detector (b)γ-rays from nuclear interactions in the producer unit and (c)γ-rays of atmospheric origin. The energies of the cascades were determined using photometric method. The spectra ofγ-rays from groups (a) and (c) were determined and compared with similar spectra obtained at greater atmospheric depths. The spectra were found to obey a power law. The spectrum ofγ-rays of atmospheric origin was found to steepen at high energies,E _r>2200 GeV.     

One-dimensional model with rotational and liquid-crystalline phase transitions

A one-dimensional system of hard-rod particles with rotational-like internal degrees of freedom is considered. Particles interact with each other through the infinite-range, infinitely weak attractive Kac potential, and through a nearest-neighbor short-range potential. The latter depends also on the internal states of the interacting particles. Exact results for thermodynamic properties and for some correlation functions are obtained. It is found that the considered system exhibits several first-order transitions between phases with different rotational structure, i.e., with different ordering with respect to the internal degrees of freedom. The calculated equation of state seems to suggest that in the solutions of liquid-crystalline substances in neutral solvents there may exist regions in which the coefficient of thermal expansion is negative—an effect similar to that well known in liquid water.     

The coulometric titration of bromate with cuprous copper

A coulometric procedure has been developed by which 18 to 240 μg quantities of bromate may be determined to within 0.3 μg. The bromate is allowed to react with bromide in an acid solution and electrolytically generated cuprous copper is used for the titration. A dual platinum electrode indicator system is used in an amperometric end-point procedure

基于浙江沿海多个气象观测站和潮位观测站近50年的气温、潮位及风暴潮的资料,研究了气候变化背景下浙江沿海台风暴潮变化特征.分析表明,随着沿海地区年平均气温的上升,浙江沿海相对海平面、登陆台风、超警戒风暴潮、较大风暴增水、年极值高潮位等都呈现出上升或增多趋势;在此背景下,浙江沿海风暴潮灾害风险也随之增大,特别是2000年以来,登陆浙江沿海的台风个数和最大增水超过300cm的风暴潮次数都显著增多.对气候变化背景下浙江沿海风暴潮灾害的影响分析,将为今后风暴潮预警及防灾、减灾的应对提供重要的启示和参考.
