We obtain several results about the output rate and distribution of zeros and ones of the shrinking generator associated with two linear recurring sequences. These results are based on various bounds on the number of zeros of linear recurring sequences. Non-linear recurring sequences are considered as well.

Following earlier work of Huggins and Nix [Ionics 6, 57 (2000)], several recent theoretical studies have used the shrinking core model to predict intraparticle Li concentration profiles and associated stress fields. A goal of such efforts is to understand and predict particle fracture, which is sometimes observed in degraded electrodes. In this paper we present experimental data on LiCoO2 and g...

Thermo-responsive hydrogels are a promising material for creating controllable actuators use in micro-scale devices, since they expand and contract significantly (absorbing or expelling fluid) response to relatively small temperature changes. Understanding such systems can be difficult because of the spatially- temporally-varying properties gel, complex relationships between fluid dynamics, ela...

The influence of particle residence time distribution on the average conversion rate (or reactivity) of particles undergoing a non-catalytic gas-solid reaction inside a continuously operated fluidized bed reactor is evaluated. A so-called &factor is defined as the ratio of the actual reactivity in the reactor and the reactivity of a batch of particles that react under similar circumstances and ...

Core equivalence and shrinking of the core results are well known for economies. The present paper establishes counterparts for bargaining economies, a specific class of production economies (finite and infinite) representing standard two-person bargaining games and their continuum counterparts as coalition production economies. Thereby we get core equivalence of the Nash solution. The results ...
