Why Matter Occupies so Large a Volume？

The paper represents a rigorous treatment of the underlying quantum theory, not just in words but providing the underlying technical details, as to why matter occupies so large a volume and its intimate connection with the Pauli exclusion principle, as more and more matter is put together, as well as of the contraction or shrinkage of ＂bosonic matter＂, upon collapse, for which the Panli exclusion is abolished. From the derived explicit bounds of integrals of powers of the particle number densities, explicit bounds on probabilities of the occurrences of the events just described are extracted. These probabilities lead one to infer the change of the ＂size＂ or extension of such matter, upon expansion or contraction, respectively, as their content is increased.     

回收LNG冷能的新型碳二烃两级膨胀朗肯循环

提出了一种新型的回收LNG冷能的两级膨胀朗肯动力循环,可以乙烯或乙烷作为工质。此工艺流程采用多股流低温板翅式换热器(MSCHE)作为主要设备,使工质两级膨胀并采用回热过程,可以使循环的冷能利用效率得到明显提高。针对此工艺分别以乙烯或乙烷为工质,与LNG直接膨胀结合和不结合,共四种方案采用HYSYS软件进行工艺模拟,并对模拟结果进行了比较和分析,可得出无LNG膨胀的乙烯两级膨胀工艺流程最为合理,其冷能和火用的利用率可以分别达到19.67%和21.75%。     

Cosmological models with constant deceleration parameter in Nordtvedt’s theory

Exact solutions of the field equations of Nordtvedt’s theory for spatially flat FRW models with constant deceleration parameter have been obtained. Singular solutions with (i) power-law (ii) exponential expansion have been studied in Nordtvedt’s theory where the coupling parameterω is a function of the scalar fieldφ.     

Chemically controlled pattern formation in phase-separating materials

Summary The role of chemical reactions in the selection of patterns in phase-separating mixtures is presented. Linearized theory and computer simulation show that the initial long-wavelength instability characteristic of spinodal decomposition is suppressed by chemical reactions, which restrict domain growth to intermediate length scales even in the late stages of phase separation. Our findings suggest that chemical reactions may provide a novel way to stabilize and tune the steady-state morphology of phase-separating materials. Paper presented at the I International Conference on Scaling Concepts and Complex Fluids, Copanello, Italy, July 4–8, 1994.     

Optical modelling of photonic crystals and VCSELs using eigenmode expansion and perfectly matched layers

We present a modelling approach for photonic crystal structures and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs). This method is based on vectorial eigenmode expansion combined with perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary conditions. Compared to other methods, a relatively small computational effort is required, while at the same time accurate results are obtained, even in the presence of strong scattering and diffraction losses.     

Entropy of MgO based on the Stacey equation of state

In the present communication we have modified the earlier calculations for the compression dependence of entropy of MgO using recent experimental data and more accurate equation of state. We have estimated the thermal expansivity with the help of the Anderson–Isaak equation at different compressions and selected temperatures up to the melting temperature of the solid. P–V relationship and compression dependence of isothermal bulk modulus are computed with the help of the Stacey equation of state. The results have been compared with those recommended by Cynn et al. [J. Phys. Chem. 99/19 (1995) 7813]. It is found that the entropy decreases with increasing compression along an isotherm.     

Suzuki晶格光子晶体的光子带结构

系统地研究了Suzuki晶格光子晶体能带结构,包括介质中周期排列的空气孔光子晶体和空气中周期排列的介质柱光子晶体。采用平面波展开法计算了空气孔和介质柱半径及折射率对光子带隙的影响。结果发现介质中周期排列的空气孔光子晶体主要形成TM模光子禁带,空气中周期排列的介质柱光子晶体主要形成TE模光子禁带,只有介质折射率较大时两类光子晶体才能够形成完全带隙。介质中周期排列的空气孔光子晶体能带结构中沿Г-X1和X1-M方向出现了群速度接近于零的色散曲线,而在另一类光子晶体中并未出现这种情况,在其它晶格类型的光子晶体中也未发现这种情况。     

Consistent Riccati expansion solvable classification and soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions for an extended Korteweg-de Vries equation

In this paper, we consider an extended Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. Using the consistent Riccati expansion (CRE) method of Lou, the extended KdV equation is proved to be CRE solvable in only two distinct cases. These two CRE solvable models are the KdV-Lax and KdV-Sawada-Kotera (KdV-SK) equations. In addition, applying the nonauto-Bäcklund transformations which are provided by the CRE method, we present the explicit construction for soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solutions which represent a soliton propagating on a cnoidal periodic wave background in the KdV-Lax and KdV-SK equations, respectively.
