A number of mixing rules are proposed in the literature to predict the dependence of effective material parameters (permittivity and permeability) of composites on frequency and concentration. However, the existing mixing rules for frequency dependence of permeability in magnetic composites typically do not provide satisfactory agreement with measured data. Herein, a simple mixing rule is propo...

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating the viscosity of aqueous or mixed-solvent electrolyte systems ranging from dilute solutions to fused salts. The model incorporates a mixing rule for calculating the viscosity of solvent mixtures and a method for predicting the effect of finite electrolyte concentrations. The mixing rule represents the viscosity of multi-component solvent ...

It is shown that the Coulomb energy U of fully ionized ionic mixture can be written as a sum over partial contributions of ion species j: U = T ∑ j Nju(Γj , yj) (generalized linear mixing rule). In contrast to the traditional linear mixing rule ULM = T ∑ j NjuOCP(Γj), applicable for strong coupling, the partial contribution function u depends not only on Γj , but on an additional parameter yj =...

A “Λ selection rule” for N∗ resonances in the presence of QCD mixing effects is identified. Due to the QCD mixing, excitations of 20-plets are possible in SU(6). We show that this selection rule is useful for classifying PDG states at N = 2, and for clarifying whether strongly correlated diquarks survive for

Supercritical carbon dioxide has gained increasing attention in food and pharmaceutical processing owing to the fact that it is environmentally inexpensive, not flammable, essentially non-toxic, and it has a convenient critical point. Also, it has been attracting much attention in many fields, such as extraction of sensitive materials and pharmaceutical processing and polymerization processes. ...

This paper investigates the k-mixing property of a multidimensional cellular automaton. Suppose F is a cellular automaton with the local rule f defined on a d-dimensional convex hull C which is generated by an apex set C. Then F is k-mixing with respect to the uniform Bernoulli measure for all positive integer k if f is a permutation at some apex in C. An algorithm called the Mixing Algorithm i...

Application of cavity ring down (CRD) spectrometry for measuring the optical properties of pure and mixed laboratory-generated aerosols is presented. The extinction coefficient (α ext), extinction cross section (σ ext) and extinction efficiency (Q ext) were measured for polystyrene spheres (PSS), ammonium sulphate ((NH 4) 2 (SO 4)), sodium 5 chloride (NaCl), glutaric acid (GA), and Rhodamine-59...
