a revised analysis of the effect of long-range nonspherical terms in the intermolecular potential on the second virial coefficient is presented with a preferred hartree-fock-dispersion functional (hfd-c) spherical core treatment of the integrations for small intermolecular distances. a set of modified numerical tables for the accurate calculation of the nonspherical contribution to the second v...

Hazen-Williams equation is used widely by irrigation systems’ designers due to its simplicity.However, Darcy-Weisbach equation is more accurate and reliable. The accuracy of the latter is due to its friction coefficient, which depends on both flow characteristics and pipe surface state. On the other hand, Hazen-Williams’ coefficient (C) depends only on pipe substance and age. A comparative anal...

The C1 NQR spectra of the two phases (phases I and II) of 2,3-dichloro-l,4-naphthoquinone were studied from 77 to 394 K. The crystal structure determination of the triclinic phase (phase I) was refined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Phase I crystallizes in the space group C/-P1. The unit cell (Z = 4) has the dimensions a = 1614.3(4) pm, 6 = 828.1 (3) pm, c = 733.2(3) pm, a = 67.02(l)°, /?...

based on symbolic manipulation program maple and using riccati equation mapping method several explicit exact solutions including kink, soliton-like, periodic and rational solutions are obtained for (2+1)-dimensional variable coefficient broer--kaup system in quite a straightforward manner. the known solutions of riccati equation are used to construct new solutions for variable coefficient broe...

t=0 = εg f ∈ C 0 and g ∈ C 0 , i.e. (1.1)-(1.2) has for fixed f and g a solution for all t ≥ 0 if ε > 0 is sufficiently small. This is an interesting model in Lorentzian geometry proposed to me by Hamilton[Ha1]. It is also the equation for a membrane, in field theory, see Hoppe[Ho1]. Also Huisken and Struwe[HS1] have some recent results related to local existence for (1.1). What makes the proof...

We present an alternate method to close the master equation representing the continuous time dynamics of interacting Ising spins. The method makes use of the theory of random point processes to derive a master equation for local conditional probabilities. We analytically test our solution studying two known cases, the dynamics of the mean-field ferromagnet and the dynamics of the one-dimensiona...

Large cats feeding habits have been studied through two main methods: scat analysis and the carcasses of prey killed by monitored animals. From November 2001 to April 2004, we studied jaguar predation patterns using GPS telemetry location clusters on a cattle ranch in southern Pantanal. During this period, we recorded 431 carcasses of animals preyed upon by monitored jaguars. Concurrently, we c...
