Microstructural and magnetic characterization of dusts from a stone crushing industry in Birbhum, India

Stone dust sample collected from a stone crushing industry situated at Muhammad Bazar in Birbhum, India, is studied for its physical characterization using various techniques. Morphology and compositional analysis of the stone dust by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reveal that the dust is an agglomeration of many tiny particles (0.32-2.12 μm), mostly having sharp edges, as well show microstructure heterogeneity. Elements present in the sample are detected by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern analysis shows that the sample mainly contains minerals like anorthite, augite, esseneite and albite. An overall antiferromagnetic interaction in this sample has been indicated by the nature of the thermal dependence of magnetization. The remnant magnetization study apparently indicates two magnetic transitions at low temperatures. ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy has been employed to detect different possible iron sites as well as to estimate the respective site population. In general, Mössbauer spectroscopic results corroborate the observations made through XRD analysis in general.     

A mathematical model to study the soil arching effect in stone column-supported embankment resting on soft foundation soil

Soil arching is a common phenomena in pile or columnar (vibroconcrete columns, soil–cement columns by mixing or grouting, stone columns) supported geosynthetic-reinforced or unreinforced embankments resting on soft soil. Due to soil arching, stress acting on soft soil or geosynthetic reinforcement decreases and stress on piles or columns increases. In this paper, using mechanical elements (such as spring, dashpot), a generalized mathematical model has been developed to study the soil arching effect in stone column-supported geosynthetic-reinforced and unreinforced embankments resting on soft soil. Pasternak model concept has been used to model the embankment soil. The soft soil has been idealized by spring-dashpot system to include the time-dependent behavior. The stone columns and geosynthetic reinforcement are idealized by stiffer nonlinear springs and rough elastic membrane, respectively. The consolidation effect of soft soil due to inclusions of stone columns has also been included in the model to study its effect on soil arching. Plane strain condition has been considered in the analysis. A finite difference scheme has been used to solve the governing differential equations and results are presented in non-dimensional form. It has been observed that the height of embankment, degree of consolidation of soft soil, stiffness of the stone column material, spacing between the stone columns, use of geosynthetic reinforcement and properties of soft and embankment soils (such as ultimate bearing capacity of soft soil, shear modulus and ultimate shearing resistance of embankment soil) significantly influence the degree of soil arching.

The characterization of certain quantum stochastic stationary process

In this paper we will obtain a Stone type theorem under the frame of Hilbert C＊-module, such that the classical Stone theorem is our special case. Then we use it as a main tool to obtain a spectrum decomposition theorem of certain stationary quantum stochastic process. In the end, we will give it an interpretation in statistical mechanics of multi-linear response.     

Electronic structures of Stone–Wales defective chiral (6,2) silicon carbide nanotubes: First-principles calculations

By using first-principle calculations based on density functional theory, the geometries and electronic structures of the Stone–Wales defective chiral (6,2) silicon carbide nanotubes (SiCNTs) are investigated. Independent on their orientations, Stone–Wales defects form two asymmetric pentagons and heptagons coupled in pairs (5-7-7-5) and a defect energy level in the band gap of the SiCNT. By applying transverse electric fields, significant differences in the electronic structures of the defective (6,2) SiCNTs are achieved, which may provide the foundation of identifying the orientation of Stone–Wales defects in chiral SiCNTs.
