Wavelet Collocation Methods for a First Kind Boundary Integral Equation in Acoustic Scattering

In this paper we consider a wavelet algorithm for the piecewise constant collocation method applied to the boundary element solution of a first kind integral equation arising in acoustic scattering. The conventional stiffness matrix is transformed into the corresponding matrix with respect to wavelet bases, and it is approximated by a compressed matrix. Finally, the stiffness matrix is multiplied by diagonal preconditioners such that the resulting matrix of the system of linear equations is well conditioned and sparse. Using this matrix, the boundary integral equation can be solved effectively.     

Kinetics of phenol hydrogenation over supported palladium catalyst

Kinetics of vapor phase hydrogenation of phenol to cyclohexanone over Pd/MgO system has been studied in a flow microreactor under normal atmospheric pressure. The reaction rate is found to be negative order with respect to the partial pressure of phenol and has increased from −0.5 to 0.5 with increasing temperature (473 to 563 K). The apparent activation energy (E_a) of the process is found to be close to 65 kJ per mol. On the basis of kinetic results a surface mechanism is proposed.     

Surfaces of Constant Mean Curvature Bounded by Two Planar Curves

In this paper we study constant mean curvature compact surfaces with two Jordan curves in parallel planes as boundary and we investigate the point at which the surface inherits the symmetries of its boundary.     

Spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a 4–8 lattice

The spontaneous magnetization of the Ising model on a 4–8 lattice with six different coupling constants and two different magnetic moments is studied. A formula for the spontaneous magnetization is proposed. The result agrees with the exact low-temperature series expansions up to the 12th order.     

部分相干电磁光束在湍流介质中传输的偏振变化

 从推广的惠更斯-菲涅尔原理出发，推导出了部分相干电磁光束的偏振态在湍流介质中传输的表达式。并以电磁高斯-谢尔模型(EGSM)光束为例，研究了湍流对电磁高斯-谢尔模型光束偏振态的影响。研究结果表明，对于轴上点，湍流介质的折射率结构常数越大，偏振度趋于最大值的速度越快，达到的最大值越小；光斑越大，偏振度达到最大值的位置离光源越远，在光斑增大的过程中，偏振度所达到的极大值会先增大后减小，最后保持与光源相同的偏振度不变。对于轴外点，一个固定的z，光的偏振度随着离轴距离的增大而逐渐下降，并最终等于零。折射率结构常数越大，偏振度随离轴距离的增大而下降得越缓慢；光斑越大，偏振度随离轴距离的增大下降得越快。     

An Analogue of Distributivity for Ungraded Lattices

In this paper, we study lattices that posess both the properties of being extremal (in the sense of Markowsky) and of being left modular (in the sense of Blass and Sagan). We call such lattices trim and show that they posess some additional appealing properties, analogous to those of a distributive lattice. For example, trimness is preserved under taking intervals and suitable sublattices. Trim lattices satisfy a weakened form of modularity. The order complex of a trim lattice is contractible or homotopic to a sphere; the latter holds exactly if the maximum element of the lattice is a join of atoms. Any distributive lattice is trim, but trim lattices need not be graded. The main example of ungraded trim lattices are the Tamari lattices and generalizations of them. We show that the Cambrian lattices in types A and B defined by Reading are trim; we conjecture that all Cambrian lattices are trim.     

Around Multicolour Disordered Lattice Gas

We consider a system of multicolour disordered lattice gas, following closely the (monocolour) introduced by Faggionato and Martinelli^(3,4). We study the projection on the monocolour system and we derive an estimate of the closeness between grand canonical and canonical Gibbs measures. AMS Classification: Primary: 60K35, 82C20, 82C22
