THE VISCOSITY OF A COMPRESSED GAS IS A FUNCTION OF THREE VARIABLES: (1) the degree of crowding of the molecules; (2) their capacity, by reason of softness, flexibility, or rotational inertia, to absorb the vector momentum applied to cause flow; (3) the resistance to this vector momentum offered by the randomly oriented thermal momenta, which becomes significant when the liquid expands sufficien...

Elementary smooth functions (beyond contact) are employed to construct pair correlation functions that mimic jammed disordered sphere packings. Using the g_{2} -invariant optimization method of Torquato and Stillinger [J. Phys. Chem. B 106, 8354 (2002)], parameters in these functions are optimized under necessary realizability conditions to maximize the packing fraction varphi and average numbe...

The effect of elevated CO(2) and O(3) on apparent quantum yield (varphi), maximum photosynthesis (P(max)), carboxylation efficiency (V(cmax)) and electron transport capacity (J(max)) at different canopy locations was studied in two aspen (Populus tremuloides) clones of contrasting O(3) tolerance. Local light climate at every leaf was characterized as fraction of above-canopy photosynthetic phot...

Regularity properties significantly stronger than were previously known are developed for four-dimensional non-linear conformally invariant quantized fields. The Fourier coefficients of the interaction Lagrangian in the interaction representation-i.e., evaluated after substitution of the associated quantized free field-is a densely defined operator on the associated free field Hilbert space K. ...

We investigate the spatiotemporal coding of low amplitude inputs to a simple system of globally coupled phase oscillators with coupling function g(varphi)=-sin(varphi+alpha)+rsin(2varphi+beta) that has robust heteroclinic cycles (slow switching between cluster states). The inputs correspond to detuning of the oscillators. It was recently noted that globally coupled phase oscillators can encode ...

A ($2k+1$)$-$dimensional contact Lie algebra is one which admits a one-form $\varphi$ such that $\varphi \wedge (d\varphi)^k\ne0$. Such algebras have index one, but this not generally sufficient condition. Here we show index-one type-A seaweed are necessarily contact. Examples, together with method for their explicit construction, provided.

‎in this paper, based on [a. razani, v. rako$check{c}$evi$acute{c}$ and z. goodarzi, nonself mappings in modular spaces and common fixed point theorems, cent. eur. j. math. 2 (2010) 357-366.] a fixed point theorem for non-self contraction mapping $t$ in the modular space $x_rho$ is presented. moreover, we study a new version of krasnoseleskii's fixed point theorem for $s+t$, where $t$ is a cont...

We establish curvature estimates and a convexity result for mean convex properly embedded $\[\varphi,\vec{e}{3}]$-minimal surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^3$, i.e., $\varphi$-minimal when $\varphi$ depends only on the third coordinate of $\mathbb{R}^3$. Led by works 3-manifolds, due to White minimal surfaces, Rosenberg, Souam Toubiana stable CMC Spruck Xiao translating solitons we use compactness argume...

Suppose that $f$ is a $K$-quasiconformal self-mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, which satisfies following: $(1)$ biharmonic equation $\Delta(\Delta f)=g$ $(g\in \mathcal{C}(\overline{\mathbb{D}}))$, (2) boundary condition $\Delta f=\varphi$ ($\varphi\in\mathcal{C}(\mathbb{T})$ and $\mathbb{T}$ denotes circle), $(3)$ $f(0)=0$. The purpose this paper to prove Lipschitz continuos, and, furthe...

Let E be a vector lattice, $$\lambda _1,\lambda _2,\ldots ,\lambda _k$$ scalars and $$\varphi _1,\ldots ,\varphi pairwise independent regular linear functionals on E. We show that if $$k<m$$ then $$\sum _{j=1}^k\lambda _j\varphi _j^m$$ is orthogonally additive only _j$$ or $$-\varphi lattice homomorphism for each j, $$1\le j\le k$$ . Moreover, $$m\ge 2$$ , we provide an example to this result d...
