Abstract. Some non-Gaussian aspects of chaotic transport are investigated for a general class of two-dimensional area-preserving maps. Kurtosis, in particular, is calculated from the diffusion and the Burnett coefficients, which are obtained analytically. A characteristic time scale delimiting the onset of the Markovian regime for the master equation is established. Some explicit examples are d...

In a previous paper Phys. Rev. A 41, 4501 (1990)], simple equilibrium expressions were obtained for nonlinear Burnett coeecients. In this paper, we devise a more eecient way of using these expressions, and show some preliminary results from a colour conductivity simulation.

The Australian lungfish is a unique living representative of an ancient dipnoan lineage, listed as 'vulnerable' to extinction under Australia's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Historical accounts indicate this species occurred naturally in two adjacent river systems in Australia, the Burnett and Mary. Current day populations in other rivers are thought to have ari...

ABSTRACT A low-density wind tunnel called the Mars wind tunnel, has been developed at Tohoku University that can produce a high subsonic flow at low pressures for aerodynamic measurements of low-Reynolds-number aircraft wings aimed at developing aircraft applicable to the atmosphere on the planet Mars. Accurate surface pressure measurements on the wing are essential for analysis of not only aer...

In the spring of 1856, I met Mr. Christy accidentally in an omnibus at Havana. He had been in Cuba for some months, leading an adventurous life… and visiting all sorts of people from whom information was to be had.

During the past year the Museum's collection of Islamic art has been greatly enriched by several important purchases, gifts, and bequests. The bequest of twenty ceramics and two Persian rugs by Horace Havemeyer has already been discussed in a separate Bulletin article (May I957). One of the most notable additions was the Cora Timken Burnett Bequest of Persian miniatures and other art objects, w...
