The uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of intact rocks is one of the key parameters in the course of site characterizations. The isotropy/anisotropy condition of the UCS of intact rocks is dependent on the internal structure of the rocks. The rocks with a random grain structure exhibit an isotropic behavior. However, the rocks with a linear/planar grain structure generally behave transversely-...

The interfibrillar spaces of skeletal muscle fibers in adult vertebrates contain two distinct membranous systems, the T system and the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Most of the T system is oriented transversely between the fibrils. Occasionally, longitudinal connections between the transversely oriented T system are seen (14). The sarcoplasmic reticulum is, in general, oriented longitudinally between...

We consider the anti-plane shear waves in a domain consisting of an infinite layer with thin coating lying on elastic half-space. The properties coating, layer, and half-space are assumed to be different. On free upper surface we assume compatibility condition within Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity, whereas at plane interface perfect contact. For this problem there exist two possible regimes related ...

Using the recent experimental data on the left right asymmetry in fragmentation of transversely polarized quarks and the theoretical calculation of the proton transver-sity distribution in the effective chiral quark soliton model we explain the azimuthal asymmetries in semi-inclusive hadron production on longitudinally (HERMES) and transversely (SMC) polarized targets with no free parameters. O...

Elastic surface waves propagating at the interface between an isotropic substrate and a thin, transversely isotropic film are analyzed. The transverse isotropy is conferred by fibers lying parallel to the interface. A rigorous leading-order model of the thin-film/substrate interface is derived from the equations of three-dimensional elasticity for prestressed, transversely isotropic films havin...

A method of calculating dispersion curves for guided waves in slight, azimuthally anisotropic formations is developed with perturbation theory. The fluid is assumed to be inviscid, the formation perfectly elastic and homogeneous, and the ·borehole wall cylindrical. The first step is calculating the elastic moduli for a transversely isotropic formation whose moduli are close to those for the azi...

Based on a simple quark-diquark model, we propose a set of unpolarized, longitudinally polarized and transversely polarized fragmentation functions for the Λ by fitting the unpolarized Λ production data in ee annihilation. It is found that the helicity structure of the obtained Λ fragmentation functions is supported by the all available experimental data on the longitudinal Λ polarization. With...

Abstract The leading twist light-cone distributions for transversely polarized ρ-, ρand b1-mesons are re-analyzed in the framework of QCD sum rules with nonlocal condensates. Using different kinds of sum rules to obtain reliable predictions, we estimate the 2-, 4-, 6and 8-th moments for transversely polarized ρand ρ-meson distributions and re-estimate tensor couplings f ρ,ρ′,b1 . We stress that...

The effect of the microstructure on transversely coupled laser light into the core of a photonic crystal fiber is investigated. Computational two-dimensional modeling and direct experimental measurements indicate that there exist angles and positions of the fiber microstructure, relative to a transversely launched laser beam, that preferentially couple laser light into the fiber core. The impli...
