Phenomenal Colors and Sorites

Nontrans has been used as a stick with which to beat sense-datum theorists as well as to cast doubt on the possibility of giving a rational reconstruction of the semantics of everyday color terms. In both cases, what is called into question is the coherence of phenomenal color predicates, or, alternatively, the concep…

Oscillatory convection in liquid metals in a horizontal temperature gradient

Abstract When growing semiconductor crystals from the melt, the free convection induced in the liquid phase by the imposed thermal boundary conditions can become periodic in time. Recently, the onset of this oscillatory convection has been simulated directly through solution of the time‐dependent governing equations f…

New solvable model of polymer-chain adsorption at a surface

We solve exactly for the polymer adsorption transition in the two- and three-dimensional directed self-avoiding walk models, by employing a novel transfer-matrix approach. The behavior of the fraction of adsorbed monomers at the threshold and in the high-coverage regime is described in detail, as is the phase diagram…

The generalized integration method for predicting impulse volt-time characteristics for non-standard wave shapes-a theoretical basis

A theoretical basis for the integration method of predicting the strength of insulation subjected to impulses of nonstandard wave shapes is presented. Two theoretical approaches are developed for a general physical model of impulse breakdown applicable to gaseous, liquid, and solid insulation, and from an energy-balan…

Preparation, structure, and properties of two‐phase co‐continuous polymer blends

Abstract Phase continuity has been explored as a function of composition for three two‐phase polymer blends produced by mixing in the melt: polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate), polystyrene/cis‐polybutadiene, and poly(methyl methacrylate)/ethylene‐propylene rubber. The condition for dual phase continuity Is the appli…

Electrolyte Effects on the Switching Reaction of Polyaniline

This report describes the electrochemical behavior of polyaniline prepared in aqueous solution with various acid electrolytes. Electroactive polyaniline with two different cyclic voltammograms, i.e. , with and without the additional peak at 500 mV, can be produced by controlling the current densities during the prepar…

Putative structure and functions of a poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate/calcium polyphosphate channel in bacterial plasma membranes.

A poly-beta-hydroxybutyrate complex extracted from the plasma membranes of genetically competent Escherichia coli contained polyhydroxybutyrate:polyphosphate:calcium in molar ratios approximating 1:1:0.5. The chain length of the polyhydroxybutyrate was estimated as 120-200 subunits, and that of the polyphosphate was e…

Measurement of spatial charge distribution in thick dielectrics using the pulsed electroacoustic method

Measurement techniques of volume charge distribution within insulating materials are developed using a pulsed electroacoustic method. The fundamental equation of the relation between the charge distribution in the insulating material and the signal voltage from the electroacoustic transducer is presented along with th…

Quantitative analysis of the inelastic background in surface electron spectroscopy

Abstract Recent progress, in the quantitative analysis of the distortion of surface electron spectra, resulting from inelastic electron scattering, is reviewed. A physical model for the problem is formulated and based on this, basic deconvolution formulae are found. In the formulae, detailed information on the differe…

Ion-exchanged glass waveguides: a review

Passive glass waveguides made by ion-exchange technique are potential candidates for integrated optics (IO) applications. The authors review the advantages in the technology as applied to fabrication of useful single-mode structures. Progress in process, fabrication, modeling, and waveguide performance using different…

RIR - Measurement and Use in Quantitative XRD

Abstract The Reference Intensity Ratio (RIR) is a general, instrument-independent constant for use in quantitative phase analysis by the X-ray powder diffraction internal standard method. When the reference standard is corundum, RIR is known as I/I c ; These constants are collected in the Powder Diffraction File (1987…

EELS analysis of vacuum arc-deposited diamond-like films

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy measurements have been made on amorphous diamond-like carbon films produced by condensing the plasma stream from a filtered vacuum arc. The results are compared with spectra from diamond, graphitized carbon and amorphous carbon. Although the energy-loss spectra reveal the presence of…

Nonlocal Continuum Damage, Localization Instability and Convergence

A recent nonlocal damage formulation, in which the spatially averaged quantity was the energy dissipated due to strain-softening, is extended to a more general form in which the strain remains local while any variable that controls strain-softening is nonlocal. In contrast to the original imbricate nonlocal model for…

Observation of Interatomic Radiative Transition of Valence Electrons to Outermost-Core-Hole States in Alkali Halides

Excitation spectra of visible luminescence in CsF (2.5-5.6 eV), CsCl (3.9-6.0 eV), CsBr (4.4-6.2 eV), and RbF (2.6-6.2 eV) have been measured at room temperature with use of synchrotron radiation for the energy range up to 40 eV. It is shown that the excitation thresholds of these luminescence bands are located at the…

The rare earth cobaltates: localised or collective electron behaviour?

The electrical conductivity and differential thermal analysis (DTA) characteristics of RECoO 3 (RE=La, Nd, Gd, Ho, Y) have been reexamined. In general, the data are quite different from those previously reported. In particular, first-order semiconductor-to-metal transitions of YCoO 3 , LaCoO 3 and HoCoO 3 are not obse…
