Finiteness of Relative Equilibria of the Four-body Problem
We show that the number of relative equilibria of the Newtonian four-body problem is finite, up to symmetry. In fact, we show that this number is always between 32 and 8472. The proof is based on symbolic and exact integer computations which are carried out by computer.
متن کاملRelative equilibria of four identical satellites
We consider the Newtonian 5-body problem in the plane, where 4 bodies have the same mass m, which is small compared to the mass M of the remaining body. We consider the (normalized) relative equilibria in this system, and follow them to the limit when m/M → 0. In some cases two small bodies will coalesce at the limit. We call the other equilibria the relative equilibria of four separate identic...
متن کاملDifferences between water permeability of astomatous and stomatous cuticular membranes: effects of air humidity in two species of contrasting drought-resistance strategy
Cuticular water permeabilities of adaxial and abaxial leaf surfaces and their dependence on relative air humidity (RH) applied in long-term and short-term regimes have been analysed for Hedera helix, native in a temperate climate, and Zamioculcas zamiifolia, native in subtropical regions. The water permeability of cuticular membranes (CM) isolated from the adaxial (astomatous) and abaxial (stom...
متن کاملCuticular permeability of two species of Coptotermes Wasmann (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae).
Cuticular permeability (CP) values of worker and soldier castes of Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes vastator Light were determined using gravimetric techniques. Comparisons were made between castes, species, and between colonies of C. formosanus and C. vastator. CP values did not differ among either species or colony, however they did differ between castes. Data reported here and ...
متن کاملShort Communication Control of Cuticular Water Permeability in Insects
In a recent note (Croghan and Noble-Nesbitt, 1989), it was shown that water permeability of the cockroach epicuticle could not be explained in terms of what was known about the properties of the components of the system. Additionally, there are further observations in need of explanation. Coenen-Stass and Kloft (1976), using both weight loss and tritiated water, showed that the rate of water lo...
