Influence of Dislocations in Thomson’s Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate Thomson’s problem of charges on a sphere as an example of a system with complex interactions. Assuming certain symmetries we can work with a larger number of charges than before. We found that, when the number of charges is large enough, the lowest energy states are not those with the highest symmetry. As predicted previously by Dodgson and Moore, the complex patterns in these states involve dislocation defects which screen the strains of the twelve disclinations required to satisfy Euler’s theorem.

Epidemiological Profile of Extremity Fractures and Dislocations in Road Traffic Accidents in Kashan, Iran:a Glance at the Related Disabilities
Background: Apart from the mortality, road traffic injuries are associated with significant morbidities. This study has aimed to examine the pattern of traffic accident-related extremity fractures/dislocations and their related disabilities.

متن کاملThe Triangular Bi-Pyramid Minimizes a Range of Power Law Potentials
Combining a brilliant observation of A. Tumanov with a divideand-conquer approach to Thomson’s 5-electron problem, we give a rigorous computer-assisted proof that the triangular bi-pyramid is the unique minimizer with respect to the potential Rs(r) = sign(s) 1 rs amongst all spherical 5 point configurations when s ∈ (−2, 13]− {0}. The case s = −1 corresponds to Polya’s problem and the case s = ...

In a chart review 31 traumatic knee dislocations were identified in 30 patients during an eight year period (1992-2000).Fifteen dislocations (48.4%) were posterior,seven anterior,eight occult and one medial.out of the five cases of vascular injuries three happened with posterior dislocations and in four patients associated ipsilateral limb injuries were present .the general incidence of simulta...
متن کاملThomson’s Theorem on Mean Square Polynomial Approximation
In 1991, J. E. Thomson determined completely the structure of H2(μ), the closed subspace of L2(μ) that is spanned by the polynomials, whenever μ is a compactly supported measure in the complex plane. As a consequence he was able to show that if H2(μ) = L2(μ), then every function f ∈ H2(μ) admits an analytic extension to a fixed open set Ω, thereby confirming in this context a phenomenon noted e...
