<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>=1 supersymmetric conformal block recursion relations

We present explicit recursion relations for the four-point superconformal block functions that are essentially particular contributions of the given conformal class to the four-point correlation function. The approach is based on the analytic properties of the superconformal blocks as functions of the conformal dimensions and the central charge of the superconformal algebra. We compare the results with the explicit analytic expressions obtained for special parameter values corresponding to the truncated operator product expansion. These recursion relations are an efficient tool for numerically studying the four-point correlation function in superconformal field theory in the framework of the bootstrap approach, similar to that in the case of the purely conformal symmetry. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 152, No. 3, pp. 476–487, September, 2007.     

有限存贮空间内可燃多孔介质流动和传热的研究

对通风条件下可燃多孔介质库房内的流动和传热特性进行了数值模拟,得到了库房有限空间内的温度场和速度场.通过比较不同的来流温度和入口流速,得到的结果表明:可燃多孔介质(弹药)内部发生化学反应并产生热量,其温度由中心向四周逐渐降低;来流流速越大,越有利于弹药的冷却;在来流速度相同的情况下,来流温度越低,越有利于散热,对于可燃多孔介质(弹药)的贮存越安全;在左侧进风口的上下两边以及可燃多孔介质(弹药)的上方,会形成漩涡.     

Numerical study of homogeneous dynamo based on experimental von Kármán type flows

A numerical study of the magnetic induction equation has been performed on von Kármán type flows. These flows are generated by two co-axial counter-rotating propellers in cylindrical containers. Such devices are currently used in the von Kármán sodium (VKS) experiment designed to study dynamo action in an unconstrained flow. The mean velocity fields have been measured for different configurations and are introduced in a periodic cylindrical kinematic dynamo code. Depending on the driving configuration, on the poloidal to toroidal flow ratio and on the conductivity of boundaries, some flows are observed to sustain growing magnetic fields for magnetic Reynolds numbers accessible to a sodium experiment. The response of the flow to an external magnetic field has also been studied: The results are in excellent agreement with experimental results in the single propeller case but can differ in the two propellers case.     

Detecting pipe changes via acoustic matched field processing

Detecting pipe irregularities such as intrusions can be challenging. However, subtle changes can be identified in the complex acoustic fields measured over a range of frequencies and over a time interval given an “array” of receivers. In particular, for two receivers one can coherently process the signals via matched field processing (MFP) to infer whether or not there have been changes such as new intrusions relative to undisturbed fields measured earlier. There is no acoustic modelling of the fields required, only the simple linear processor is applied, and only test data (five scenarios) are used in this demonstration. A key advantage to using MFP plus two (or more) microphones is that absolute sound levels need not be carefully measured.     

Role of sugar in controlling reaction pathways: A study with thymine and thymidine

Magnetic field effect in conjunction with laser flash photolysis have been used for studying interactions of 9,10-anthraquinone and 2-methyl 1,4-naphthoquinone (menadione) with a DNA base, thymine (Thy) and its nucleoside, thymidine (dThd). Irrespective of medium Thy has been found to support both electron transfer (ET) and hydrogen abstraction with the quinones while dThd has exhibited a complete reluctance towards ET. This unique behavior of dThd has been attributed to a failure in attaining aromaticity by virtue of keto-enol tautomerism upon addition of a sugar moiety. Electron withdrawing effect of sugar unit is also considered responsible for reduction of ET from dThd. Again both Thy and dThd have exhibited hydrogen abstraction in homogeneous medium, which is normally unexpected. The above behaviors of the bases have been explained on the basis of their chemical structures.

Arrays of magnetic nanoparticles capped with alkylamines

Magnetic metal and metal oxide nanoparticles capped with alkylamines have been synthesized and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and magnetization measurements. Core-shell Pd-Ni particles with composition, Pd₅₆₁Ni₃₀₀₀, (diameter ∼3.3 nm) are superparamagnetic at 5 K and organize themselves into two-dimensional crystalline arrays. Similar arrays are obtained with Pd₅₆₁Ni₃₀₀₀Pd₁₅₀₀ nanoparticles containing an additional Pd shell. Magnetic spinel particles of γ-Fe₂O₃, Fe₃O₄ and CoFe₂O₄ of average diameters in the 4–6 nm range coated with octylamine are all supermagnetic at room temperature and yield close-packed disordered arrays. Relatively regular arrays are formed by dodecylaminecapped Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles (∼8.6 nm diameter) while well-ordered hexagonal arrays were obtained with octylamine-covered Co₃O₄ nanoparticles (∼4.2 nm diameter).     

Fast intramolecular dynamics of triphenyl phosphite investigated by <Emphasis Type="Bold">2</Emphasis>H NMR

The first analysis of rapid intramolecular motions of triphenyl phosphite by ²H NMR is presented. The fragile slowing down of the primary relaxation is followed by a solid-echo method. The occurrence of a fast reorientation of the phenyl side groups is demonstrated in the supercooled liquid state, identified as a two-fold flip on the basis of simple lineshape simulations. Coexistence of both static and motionally averaged components in “two phase” spectra indicate a broad distribution of correlation times for this relaxation. This dynamical behavior is shown to persist in the glacial phase. Received 28 May 2002 / Received in final form 1st October 2002 Published online 31 December 2002     

Generation of Electrical Currents and Magnetic Fields by Grain Boundary Motion

The effect of an induced magnetic moment due to grain boundary motion in a magnetic field was studied theoretically in a microscopic and a mesoscopic approximation. It was found that the induced moment generates a drag force on the boundary, which depends on the orientation of the magnetic field with regard to the crystal axis, as observed experimentally. However, the magnitude of the theoretically predicted dependency is much smaller than experimentally observed and even opposite with regard to the orientation dependence. Therefore, the electromagnetic drag can be neglected in comparison with other driving forces for grain boundary motion, but the effect may play a role for fast moving dislocations in a magnetic field.
