Ternary intermetallic A–B–C systems sometimes have unexpected behaviors. The present paper examines situations in which there is a tendency to simultaneously form the compounds ABx, ACx and BCx with the same crystal structure. This causes irregular shapes of the phase homogeneity domains and, from a structural point of view, a complete reversal of site occupancies for the B atom when crossing t...

In most aquatic systems, natural organic acids constitute an important pool of trace-metal binding ligands. The effect of natural organic matter (NOM) on metal ion sorption to mineral surfaces is a complex function of the environment in which the mineral and ions reside, as well as the source, molecular weight distribution and composition of the NOM. In spite of the well-acknowledged importance...

New experimental solubilities and tie line data for ternary mixtures containing two completely miscible binaries and one nonmiscible binary as part of a program to determine the thermodynamic properties of a series of ternary and binary systems with HMDS [1–3] are given. Hexamethyldisiloxane 99.5%, NMR grade, 2-butanone 99.5%, HPLC grade (MEK), 3-pentanone 99% (DEK) and dimethyl sulfoxide 99.9%...

Energy inefficiency in irreversible logic circuits is creating an obstruction on the path towards continued advancements in complexity and reductions in the size of today’s computer systems. Designing the component circuits in a reversible manner may offer a possible solution to this crisis, allowing significant reductions in power consumption and heat dissipation requirements. Multi-valued (MV...

A simple method for maintaining balance in ternary search tries is presented. The new kind of self-balancing ternary search trie, called an r-trie, generalizes the balancing strategy of Aragon and Seidel’s randomized binary search trees (treaps). This means that an r-trie is shaped like a ternary search trie built by inserting the strings in random order. As a result, the time cost of searching...

Interdiffusion coefficients of the refractory elements in Fe-Cr-X (X 1⁄4 Mo, W) and Fe-Mo-W ternary alloys were measured on the basis of the modified Boltzmann-Matano method for ternary systems. The cross interdiffusion coefficient, ~ D CrW was positive in Fe-Cr-W ternary alloy, indicating that W accelerates interdiffusion between Fe and Cr atoms. On the other hand, the cross interdiffusion coe...

This paper argues that a finite-state language model with a ternary expression representation is currently the most practical and suitable bridge between natural language processing and information retrieval. Despite the theoretical computational inadequacies of finitestate grammars, they are very cost effective (in time and space requirements) and adequate for practical purposes. The ternary e...

Highly selective and sensitive phosphate sensors have been fabricated by constructing a solid membrane disk consisting of variable mixtures of aluminium powder (Al), aluminium phosphate (AlPO4) and powdered copper (Cu). Both binary and ternary electrode systems are produced. The ternary membranes exhibit greater selectivity over a wide range of concentrations. The ternary electrode with the com...

In the year 1971, W. G. Lister [14] introduced the notion of ternary ring. Later in the year 2014, J. R. Castillo and Jocelyn S. ParaderoVilela [2] introduced the notion of krasner ternary hyperring. In [6] we introduce the notion of multiplicative ternary hyperring. In this paper we study prime hyperideals in a multiplicative ternary hyperring. We obtain some Characterizations of prime hyperid...

An MOS ternary-logic family is proposed, which is comprised of a set of inverters, NOR gates, and NAND gates. These gates are used to design basic ternary arithmetic and memory circuits. The circuits thus obtained are then used to synthesize complex ternary arithmetic circuits and shift registers. The ternary circuits developed are shown to have some significant advantages relative to other kno...
