Particle Arrangement

A kinetic Potts Monte Carlo model was used to investigate the microstructural evolution of a three particles configuration during sintering. The a series of peculiar phenomena was observed and analyzed quantitatively, which indicated that even if the particle shape and the contact area are both completely symmetrical, the asymmetric neck growth will arise due to a special particle arrangement. Although the linear relationship between neck size logarithm and time logarithm was consistent with the traditional theory, a slower neck growth rate comparing with that of the two sphere model displayed a result of the asymmetric neck growth. The analysis of the particle rotation was made to confirm the occurrence of the asymmetric neck growth. It was firstly observed that the morphology of the grain boundaries became bevel, and the reason for this morphology was discussed. All the special phenomena have proved that the asymmetric particle arrangement about the contact area can trigger the unstable neck growth.

The direct correlation function between two points in the gas-liquid surface of the penetrable sphere model is obtained in a mean-field approximation. This function is used to show explicitly that three apparently different ways of calculating the surface tension all lead to the same result. They are (1) from the virial of the intermolecular potential, (2) from the direct correlation function, and (3) from the energy density. The equality of (1) and (2) is shown analytically at all temperatures 0 < T < T c where T c is the critical temperature; the equality of (2) and (3) is shown analytically for T ≈ T c , and by numerical integration at lower temperatures. The equality of (2) and (3) is shown analytically at all temperatures for a one-dimensional potential.

AbstractHost-seeking female tabanid flies, that need mammalian blood for the development of their eggs, can be captured by the classic canopy trap with an elevated shiny black sphere as a luring visual target. The design of more efficient tabanid traps is important for stock-breeders to control tabanids, since these blood-sucking insects can cause severe problems for livestock, especially for horse- and cattle-keepers: reduced meat/milk production in cattle farms, horses cannot be ridden, decreased quality of hides due to biting scars. We show here that male and female tabanids can be caught by a novel, weather-proof liquid-filled black tray laid on the ground, because the strongly and horizontally polarized light reflected from the black liquid surface attracts water-seeking polarotactic tabanids. We performed field experiments to reveal the ideal elevation of the liquid trap and to compare the tabanid-capturing efficiency of three different traps: (1) the classic canopy trap, (2) the new polarization liquid trap, and (3) the combination of the two traps. In field tests, we showed that the combined trap captures 2.4–8.2 times more tabanids than the canopy trap alone. The reason for the larger efficiency of the combined trap is that it captures simultaneously the host-seeking female and the water-seeking male and female tabanids. We suggest supplementing the traditional canopy trap with the new liquid trap in order to enhance the tabanid-capturing efficiency.
