This paper introduces a computational strategy to collaboratively develop the Galerkin Finite Volume Method (GFVM) as one of the most straightforward and efficient explicit numerical methods to solve structural problems encountering material nonlinearity in a small limited area, while the remainder of the domain represents a linear elastic behavior. In this regard, the Element Free Galerkin met...

Strategic resource control poses a trade-off to attackers and defenders. Actions that reclaim of pose costs, but by an adversary also costs. Thus, strategy is required maximize outcomes. Research on the Dark Triad personality has suggested Machiavellianism associated with strategic orientation, whereas psychopathy narcissism are direct aggression overconfidence (respectively). individuals high ...

Zunyite [Al13Si5O20(OH,F)18Cl] possesses an unusual combination of an Al13O16(OH)24 Keggin structure and a Si5O16 pentamer unit. We used 19F, 27Al, 29Si MAS and 27Al MQMAS NMR spectroscopy of a series of samples with varying Al:Si and F:OH ratios to investigate the degree of atomic order in zunyite. The quadrupole coupling constant (CQ) and asymmetry parameter ( ) obtained from simulations of 2...

The electronic structure of nitrogen atoms as impurities in an ionic T i0 2 crystal has been investigated by analyzing electric field gradients (EFGs) measured by use of short-lived /3-emitting N implanted following nuclear reactions. Conventional ß-NMR and its modification, suitable for the detection of quadrupole effects in the NMR spectra, were used for the investigation of hyperfine interac...

The influence of the rf field inhomogeneity on the NQR nutation spectra of spin / = 3/2 nuclei in powder samples is investigated. To eliminate the rf field inhomogeneity effects, a method of reconstruction of the NQR nutation spectra, based on finding the deconvolution of the Fourier nutation spectrum with a function of the rf field distribution, is used. The method is successfully demonstrated...

We prove a conjecture of Joag-Dev and Goel that if M = M(σ) = {i: σ(i) = i} is the (random) match set, or set of fixed points, of a random permutation σ of 1,2,...,n, then f(M) and g(M) are positively correlated whenever f and g are increasing real-valued set functions on 2{1,...,n}, i.e., Ef(M) g(M) ≥ Ef(M) Eg(M). No simple use of the FKG or Ahlswede-Daykin inequality seems to establish this, ...

A thorough review of 35/37Cl, 79/81Br, and 127I solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) data is presented. Isotropic chemical shifts (CS), quadrupolar coupling constants, and other available information on the magnitude and orientation of the CS and electric field gradient (EFG) tensors for chlorine, bromine, and iodine in diverse chemical compounds is tabulated on the basis of over 200 ...

The boundary value problem z ′′ ρ·g·z − p /γ 1 z′ 2 3/2 − 1/r · 1 z′ 2 ·z′, r ∈ r1, r0 , z′ r1 − tan π/2 − αg , z′ r0 − tanαc, z r0 0, and z r is strictly decreasing on r1, r0 , is considered. Here, 0 < r1 < r0, ρ, g, γ, p, αc, αg are constants having the following properties: ρ, g, γ are strictly positive and 0 < π/2 − αg < αc < π/2. Necessary or sufficient conditions are given in terms of p f...

A series of molybdate, MoO4(2-), salts have been studied using solid-state 95Mo NMR spectroscopy at applied magnetic field strengths of 11.75, 17.63 and 21.14 T. In contrast to previous investigations, the principal components of the Mo shielding and EFG tensors have been obtained, as well as their relative orientations. At the fields employed, the anisotropic Mo shielding and quadrupolar inter...

57Fe Mössbauer spectra of oxygenated sperm whale myoglobin (MbO2) show a well resolved quadrupole doublet with a temperature dependent splitting. The temperature dependence of the corresponding electric field gradient tensor (EFG) can be calculated from a Fe3+ term scheme for the iron at the active center. The Mössbauer spectra as well as the diamagnetc character of the MbO2-complex are then un...
