The effect of metallicity on the AGB mass loss is reviewed. Observations have mainly been limited to the Magellanic Clouds but are observationally feasible throughout the Local Group. Expansion velocities are predicted to depend strongly on Z but the peak mass-loss rates appear not to. The Mira PL relation shows no evidence for a Z dependence, giving a powerful potential distance indicator. I d...

We calculate the tunneling conductance spectra of a normalmetal/insulator/triplet superconductor using the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) formulation. Possible states for the superconductor are considered with horizontal lines of nodes, breaking the time reversal symmetry. These results would be useful to discriminate between pairing states in superonductor Sr2RuO4 and also in UPt3. 74.20. z, 7...

In this homework, we use checker board pattern. We place the pattern on model plane(where Z component of world corrdinate is zero). And then several picture are taken by changing the location and rotation angle of the camera. We can get world coordinate of these corner easily by ordiering the corner point from top to bottom and from left to right. There are 8 vertical lines and 10 horizontal li...

The stationary problem for the heat convection of compressible fluid is considered around the equilibrium solution with the external forces in the horizontal strip domain z0 < z < z0 + 1 and it is proved that the solution exists uniformly with respect to z0 ≥ Z0 . The limit system as z0 → +∞ is the Oberbeck-Boussinesq equations. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010). Primary 35Q35; Secondar...

OBJECTIVES To apply contact measurement and reference point system (RPS) alignment techniques to establish a method for 3D reconstruction of the edentulous jaw models with centric relation and to quantitatively evaluate its accuracy. METHODS Upper and lower edentulous jaw models were clinically prepared, 10 pairs of resin cylinders with same size were adhered to axial surfaces of upper and lo...

The “Leipzig Wind Profile” is a unique example of a representative wind distribution in the frictional layer which resulted from MILDNER’S set of 28 pilot-balloon observations with two theodolites on October 20, 1931, near Leipzig for a stable weather situation. It is shown, that the vectors of geostrophic motion and ground drag follow from the wind profile when a scalar austausch is assumed. T...

In the realm of the Riordan group, we consider the characterization of Riordan arrays by means of the Aand Z-sequences. It corresponds to a horizontal construction of a Riordan array, whereas the traditional approach is through column generating functions. We show how the Aand Z-sequences of the product of two Riordan arrays are derived from those of the two factors; similar results are obtaine...

This paper develops a North-South trade model in which the South produces food and the North produces both food and a high-tech good. Food production is undertaken by unskilled workers while the high-tech product is made only by horizontally differentiated skilled workers. Due to the possibility of a peergroup effect, we allow the unskilled workers in the North to be equally or more productive ...
