Results are presented from Monte Carlo simulations of bulk mixtures of Hard Gaussian Overlap particles with an aspect ratio of 3:1 and hard spheres with diameters equal to the breadths of the rods. For sphere number-concentrations of 50% and lower, compression of the isotropic fluid results in formation of a homogeneous (i.e. compositionally mixed) nematic phase. The volume fraction of this iso...

We calculate the ground state phase diagram of the homogeneous electron gas in three dimensions within the Hartree-Fock approximation and show that broken symmetry states are energetically favored at any density against the homogeneous Fermi gas state with isotropic Fermi surface. At high density, we find metallic spin-unpolarized solutions where electronic charge and spin density form an incom...

The ubiquity of nongyrotropic particle populations in space plasmas warrants the study of their characteristics, in particular their stability. The unperturbed nongyrotropic distribution functions in homogeneous media without sources and sinks (closed phase space) must be rotating and time-varying (TNG), whereas consideration of open phase spaces allows for the occurrence of homogeneous and sta...

This paper presents a modern modeling approach for reactive distillation processes with potential phase splitting. It is based on a classical model (pseudo-homogeneous) in connection with a robust and reliable phase splitting algorithm (through homotopy-continuation method), performed at each simulation step. Model validation stage and a simple case-study (by applying the new approach to a reac...

We consider self-similar statistical ensembles with the phase space whose volume is invariant under the deformation that squeezes (expands) the coordinate and expands (squeezes) the momentum. Related probability distribution function is shown to possess a discrete symmetry with respect to manifold action of the Jackson derivative to be a homogeneous function with a self-similarity degree q fixe...

A large-scale ingot of Zr-1Mo alloy was produced for industrial manufacturing to investigate whether it is possible to produce an ingot with homogeneity. The homogeneous ingot with a chemical composition of Zr-1mass%Mo was prepared successfully. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and magnetic susceptibility were evaluated. The microstructure showed a coarse colony structure of a plate-l...

It was shown that the structure and particle size of zirconia nanoparticles has been controlled through the homogeneous precipitation process by using templates. Hexamine as the template led to ZrO2 nanoparticles with tetragonal structure, whereas coffee extract favored monoclinic structures. Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy (FeSEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurement...
