the academic community has long noticed the resemblance between mongolian and turkic epics. some believe that the mongols and the turkic people share a narrative tradition that accounts for their commonalities. such a tradition arises from the period of time when ancestors of these two groups lived together in central asia and south siberia (cf. nekljudov 1981). one could also assert that mongo...

This paper investigates how expansion and compression of the surface of a drop containing an organic compound, 1-octanol, affect surface tension. The experiments were performed in a closed chamber where the effect of 1-octanol concentrations in both liquid and gas phases on the surface could be studied. The concentration of 1-octanol varied from 0.2 mM to 2.92 mM (about 70% of it’s water solubi...

A time revolved spectroscopic study of the emission phases occurring throughout a nanosecond pulsed discharge in water is presented. Discharged are ignited in deionized water via a submerged pin-t-plane electrode configuration by application of 24kV pulses with a rise time of 4ns and a duration of 10ns. Optical emission spectroscopy of the plasma radiation is performed, revealing a very complex...

The kappa distributions, or their equivalent, the q-exponential distributions, are the natural generalization of the classical Boltzmann-Maxwell distributions, applied to the study of the particle populations in collisionless space plasmas. A huge step in the development of the theory of kappa distributions and their applications in space plasma physics has been achieved with the discovery that...
