We develop a general procedure for estimating the effective constitutive behavior of nonlinear dielectrics. The procedure is based on a variational principle expressing the effective energy function of a given nonlinear composite in terms of the effective energy functions of the class of linear comparison composites. This provides an automatic procedure for converting well-known information for...

Current Problems in Surgery keeps readers up-to-date on the latest surgical advances. Each month, this publication examines a single clinical problem or condition commonly seen by general surgeons. Issues also focus on topics in surgical research and emerging ideas in surgical subspecialties. Current Problems in Surgery is ideal for information too urgent to await book publication, yet too impo...

When the World Trade Centre was destroyed in New York on 11 September 2001, I felt devastation for all the victims of this atrocity. This included the terrorist themselves as well as the families of the dead and injured and of the perpetrators. When America used this atrocity as a reason to attack Iraq I was very disturbed by the transposition of lines of blame to a country that had no direct l...

We present the detection of type C quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) along with upper harmonic at respective frequencies $$\sim $$ 0.6 Hz and 1.2 in single AstroSat observation taken during 2016 outburst low-mass black hole X-ray binary H 1743-322. These are found to be shifted by 0.4 for QPO 0.8 respect that simultaneous XMM-Newton NuSTAR five days later than observation, indicating a certain g...

Although Petit, about 1743, suggested with wonderful foresight that gallstones should be removed by operation, it was not till within the last twenty years that the surgery of the gall-bladder and its ducts made any appreciable advance. It is not, therefore, surprising that the knowledge of what can be effected by timely interference is scarcely as widely known as the subject deserves.

We present predictions of a relatively simple model of the low-lying 0+ states in 12Be, their predicted energy splitting in 12O, their cross-section ratios in 10Be(t,p) and 14C(p, t) and their decay widths. Comparison is made with predictions using earlier wave functions of Barker. Disciplines Physical Sciences and Mathematics | Physics Comments Suggested Citation: Fortune, H.T. and Sherr, R. (...
