AbstractWe show that for each computable ordinal $\alpha > 0$ it is possible to find in each Martin-Löf random ${\rm{\Delta }}_2^0 $ degree a sequence R of Cantor-Bendixson rank α, while ensuring that the sequences that inductively witness R’s rank are all Martin-Löf random with respect to a single countably supported and computable measure. This is a strengthening for random degrees of a recent result of Downey, Wu, and Yang, and can be understood as a randomized version of it.

AbstractIt is proven that ifk≥ 2 is an integer anddis a positive integer such that the product of any two distinct elements of the setincreased by 1 is a perfect square, thend= 4kord= 64k5−48k3+8k. Together with a recent result of Fujita, this shows that all Diophantine quadruples of the form {k− 1,k+ 1,c,d} are regular.

I. The present paper contains a formal proof of the following theorem of the elementary system ⊨ [ 1 0 ] c:This theorem means that if there were a theorem of ⊢0 ( 3 2 ) 0 stating that there is no contradiction in ⊢2 ( 5 4 ) 2, we would have a contradiction in ⊢2 ( 5 4 ) 2. (This is in accordance with the second theorem of Gödel.)Our proof is based on the calculus of the system ⊨ [ 1 0 ] c and of the metasystem ⊢0 ( 3 2 ) 0.Note that we could takeinstead of Ax E .1 ( L ) (.1 ( L ) .0 ( L ) L) Z. We would then have to do with the simple systems and metasystems of Hetper, which do not contain propositional variables or the logico-semantical axiom. Our method applies equally to the systems and metasystems of New Foundation and to the simple systems and metasystems of Hetper.Our proof can be considerably simplified by using a recent result of Hetper concerning ancestral functions. Hetper introduces the following abbreviations:If A ( Z1c), B ( x1cy1cZ1c) are propositions, the expression will be called an ancestral function (we prove without difficulty that this expression is a proposition). The expressions will be called respectively the principal term and the term of derivation of this function.

AbstractGiven an integer matrix M∈GLn(ℝ) and a point y∈ℝn/ℤn, consider the set S. G. Dani showed in 1988 that whenever M is semisimple and y∈ℚn/ℤn, the set $ \tilde E(M,y)$ has full Hausdorff dimension. In this paper we strengthen this result, extending it to arbitrary M∈GLn(ℝ)∩Mn×n(ℤ) and y∈ℝn/ℤn, and in fact replacing the sequence of powers of M by any lacunary sequence of (not necessarily integer) m×n matrices. Furthermore, we show that sets of the form $ \tilde E(M,y)$ and their generalizations always intersect with ‘sufficiently regular’ fractal subsets of ℝn. As an application, we give an alternative proof of a recent result [M. Einsiedler and J. Tseng. Badly approximable systems of affine forms, fractals, and Schmidt games. Preprint, arXiv:0912.2445] on badly approximable systems of affine forms.

AbstractLet d(n;l,k) denote the number of divisors of the positive integer n which are congruent to I modulo k. The objective of the present paper is to prove that (for some exponent θ<⅓)holds uniformly in l, k and x satisfying 1≤l≤k≤x. This improves a recent result due to R. A. Smith and M. V. Subbarao [3].

Let G be a triangle-free graph with n vertices and average degree t. We show that G contains at least ${\exp\biggl({1-n^{-1/12})\frac{1}{2}\frac{n}{t}\ln t} \biggl(\frac{1}{2}\ln t-1\biggr)\biggr)}$ independent sets. This improves a recent result of the first and third authors [8]. In particular, it implies that as n → ∞, every triangle-free graph on n vertices has at least ${e^{(c_1-o(1)) \sqrt{n} \ln n}}$ independent sets, where $c_1 = \sqrt{\ln 2}/4 = 0.208138 \ldots$. Further, we show that for all n, there exists a triangle-free graph with n vertices which has at most ${e^{(c_2+o(1))\sqrt{n}\ln n}}$ independent sets, where $c_2 = 2\sqrt{\ln 2} = 1.665109 \ldots$. This disproves a conjecture from [8].Let H be a (k+1)-uniform linear hypergraph with n vertices and average degree t. We also show that there exists a constant ck such that the number of independent sets in H is at least ${\exp\biggl({c_{k} \frac{n}{t^{1/k}}\ln^{1+1/k}{t}\biggr})}.$ This is tight apart from the constant ck and generalizes a result of Duke, Lefmann and Rödl [9], which guarantees the existence of an independent set of size $\Omega\biggl(\frac{n}{t^{1/k}} \ln^{1/k}t\biggr).$ Both of our lower bounds follow from a more general statement, which applies to hereditary properties of hypergraphs.

The energy of moving ions in solid is dependent on the electronic density as well as the atomic structural properties of the target material. These factors contribute to the observable effects in polycrystalline material using the scanning ion microscope. Here we outline a method to investigate the dependence of low velocity proton stopping on interatomic distances and orientations.The interaction of charged particles with atoms in the frame work of the Fermi gas model was proposed by Lindhard. For a system of atoms, the electronic Lindhard stopping power can be generalized to the formwhere the stopping power function is defined as

A magnetic spectrometer to be attached to the Johns Hopkins S. T. E. M. is under construction. Its main purpose will be to investigate electron interactions with biological molecules in the energy range of 40 KeV to 100 KeV. The spectrometer is of the type described by Kerwin and by Crewe Its magnetic pole boundary is given by the equationwhere R is the electron curvature radius. In our case, R = 15 cm. The electron beam will be deflected by an angle of 90°. The distance between the electron source and the pole boundary will be 30 cm. A linear fringe field will be generated by a quadrupole field arrangement. This is accomplished by a grounded mirror plate and a 45° taper of the magnetic pole.

The ultimate sensitivity of microchemical analysis using x-ray emission rests in selecting those experimental conditions which will maximize the measured peak-to-background (P/B) ratio. This paper presents the results of calculations aimed at determining the influence of incident beam energy, detector/specimen geometry and specimen composition on the P/B ratio for ideally thin samples (i.e., the effects of scattering and absorption are considered negligible). As such it is assumed that the complications resulting from system peaks, bremsstrahlung fluorescence, electron tails and specimen contamination have been eliminated and that one needs only to consider the physics of the generation/emission process.The number of characteristic x-ray photons (Ip) emitted from a thin foil of thickness dt into the solid angle dΩ is given by the well-known equation

In a specimen which is transmission thin to 100 kV electrons - a sample in which X-ray absorption is so insignificant that it can be neglected and where fluorescence effects can generally be ignored (1,2) - a ratio of characteristic X-ray intensities, I1/I2 can be converted into a weight fraction ratio, C1/C2, using the equationwhere k12 is, at a given voltage, a constant independent of composition or thickness, k12 values can be determined experimentally from thin standards (3) or calculated (4,6). Both experimental and calculated k12 values have been obtained for K(11<Z>19),kα(Z>19) and some Lα radiation (3,6) at 100 kV. The object of the present series of experiments was to experimentally determine k12 values at voltages between 200 and 1000 kV and to compare these with calculated values.The experiments were carried out on an AEI-EM7 HVEM fitted with an energy dispersive X-ray detector.
