We study some asymptotic behaviour of phase interfaces with variable chemical potential under the uniform energy bound. The problem is motivated by the Cahn-Hilliard equation, where one has a control of the total energy and chemical potential. We show that the limit interface is an integral varifold with generalized L…

The luminescence from single laser produced cavitation bubbles for varying degrees of asphericity is investigated temporally, spatially, and spectrally. The degree of asphericity is controlled with an adjustable rigid boundary near the bubble. Temporally, single and multiple light emission events happen during a time…

The Middle to Upper Miocene volcano-sedimentary units in the Mihalýccýk–Eskisehir area of Turkey consist mainly of altered tuff and claystone, with thin layers of dolomite and silica nodules and horizons. Ripple marks and desiccation cracks are common in the siliceous tuff and dolomite units. Green to yellowish green…

ABSTRACT: Internal atmosphere modification in fruits and vegetables by surface film coatings depends on film permeability, coating thickness, and fruit surface coverage. Research in this area has been mostly empirical, with unpredictable results and diverse conclusions. To reduce variability, it is necessary to have a…

Hydrogen gas (H 2 ) was used to extract B 2 O 3 coatings from boron carbide (B 4 C) particles, permitting a lower temperature onset of sintering and restricting coarsening via solution and precipitation of B 4 C in B 2 O 3 liquid. Remnant H 2 had to be removed from the furnace before specimens were heated through temp…

The s p 3 tight-binding model is used to calculate electronic structures of narrow-gap carbon nanotubes. The curvature effects cause a small energy gap, a one-dimensional parabolic bands, and a shift in the Fermi wave vector. The energy gap is described by the approximate relation E g ≃5| V p p π | b 2 cos (3θ)/16 R d…
