The generalized Killing equations and the symmetries of Taub-NUT spinning space are investigated. For spinless particles the Runge-Lenz vector defines a constant of motion directly, whereas for spinning particles it now requires a non-trivial contribution from spin. The generalized Runge-Lenz vector for spinning Taub-NUT space is completely evaluated. PACS. 04.20.Me Conservation laws and equati...

This study presents a method for fabrication of ultrafine polymeric nanofibers as well as nano/micro particles utilizing centrifugal and electrostatic forces simultaneously. To reduce the diameter and variety of nanofibers produced from solid state polymerized PA66, a unique electrocentrifuge spinning device was utilized with a rotating nozzle and collector, while the fabrication process (spinn...

In parallel and distributed computing environments, threads (or processes) share access to variables and data structures. To assure consistency during updates, locks are used. When a thread attempts to acquire a lock but nds it busy, it must choose between, spinning, which means repeatedly attempting to acquire the lock in the hope that it will become free, and blocking, which means suspending ...

Wheel Spinning, by definition [1] means a situation where in the students may not reach mastery in reasonable amount of time. The Wheel Spinning is unproductive and may lead to frustrating experience to some students, in particular dyslexics, since they have difficulty in memorizing and thinking skills. If the wheel spinning can be identified early, then they may be offered some other mode of i...

Recent developments in graphene oxide fibre (GO) processing include exciting demonstrations of hand woven textile structures. However, it is uncertain whether the fibres produced can meet the processing requirements of conventional textile manufacturing. This work reports for the first time the production of highly flexible and tough GO fibres that can be knitted using textile machinery. The GO...

Web-spinning spiders that inhabit stream channels are considered specialists of aquatic ecosystems and are major consumers of emerging aquatic insects, while other spider taxa are more commonly found in riparian forests and as a result may consume more terrestrial insects. To determine if there was a difference in spider taxa abundance between riverine web-spinning spider assemblages within the...

It was recently shown that high resolution (14)N overtone NMR spectra can be obtained directly under magic angle spinning (MAS) conditions [L. A. O'Dell and C. I. Ratcliffe, Chem. Phys. Lett. 514, 168 (2011)]. Preliminary experimental results showed narrowed powder pattern widths, a frequency shift that is dependent on the MAS rate, and an apparent absence of spinning sidebands, observations wh...

Tube spinning is an effective plastic-forming technology for forming light-weight, high-precision and high-reliability components in high-tech fields, such as aviation and aerospace. However, cracks commonly occur in tube spinning due to the complexity of stress state, which severely restricts the improvement of the forming quality and forming limit of components. In this study, a finite elemen...
