Uno de los criterios más importantes para la caracterización de modelos galácticos o discos de acreción astrofísıcamente relevantes, es el análisis de la estabilidad de dichos modelos. En este trabajo, se realiza un análisis de la estabilidad de discos delgados estáticos relativistas con simetría axial, mediante la introduccón de una perturbación de primer orden en el tensor de energía-impulso del fluido. El formalismo se aplica a tres modelos construidos con el método de desplazamiento-corte-reflexión (DCR), previamente considerados en la literatura (Ujevicand Letelier, 2004), pero modificando el criterio de masa, es decir, usando la masa de Komar en lugar de la masa total superficial. Bajo estas condiciones, se encuentra que los valores de masa total son independientes de los parámetros del método DCR, lo que permite elegir la condición de frontera para el radio de corte que tome el valor máximo y a la vez permita una perturbación apreciable y bien comportada en el disco. Como resultado general, se encuentra que para la mayoría de modos de oscilación, la masa de Komar es más apropiada para definir el radio de corte.

A model of a thin annular plate sliding against an elastic foundation was developed and used to study thermoelastic instability (TEI) in clutches. The analysis examines the stability of the quasi-steady state solution of the governing equations by considering non-axisymmetric perturbations. The results indicate that above critical values of temperature and sliding speed the response of the plate becomes unstable and exhibits large deformations. Two mechanisms account for this behavior: thermal buckling and bending. It is shown that a conservative approximation of the stability boundaries can be constructed by computing only two points on the stability curve. The boundary between stable and unstable behavior depends on the material properties, geometry, and boundary conditions. The model was used to conduct a parametric study which indicates that stability of the sliding system can be improved by reducing the sliding speed, decreasing the modulus of elasticity of the plate, increasing the thermal conductivity, or increasing the thickness. In addition, for a range of sliding speeds, increasing the stiffness of the friction material improves the stability of the system. For speeds outside this range, increasing the stiffness makes the system less stable.

The exact superposition of a central static black hole with surrounding thin disk in presence of a magnetic field is investigated. We consider two models of disk, one of infinite extension based on a Kuzmin–Chazy–Curzon metric and other finite based on the first Morgan–Morgan disk. We also analyze a simple model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) consisting of black hole, a Kuzmin–Chazy–Curzon disk and two rods representing jets, in presence of magnetic field. To explain the stability of the disks, we consider the matter of the disk made of two pressureless streams of counter-rotating charged particles (counter-rotating model) moving along electrogeodesic. Using the Rayleigh criterion, we derivate for circular orbits the stability conditions of the particles of the streams. The influence of the magnetic field on the matter properties of the disk and on its stability are also analyzed.

Conti: One of the main conclusions of the Wolf-Rayet symposium in Buenos Aires was that Wolf-Rayet stars are evolutionary products of massive objects. Some questions:–Do hot helium-rich stars, that are not Wolf-Rayet stars, exist?–What about the stability of helium rich stars of large mass? We know a helium rich star of ∼40 MO. Has the stability something to do with the wind?–Ring nebulae and bubbles : this seems to be a much more common phenomenon than we thought of some years age.–What is the origin of the subtypes? This is important to find a possible matching of scenarios to subtypes.

AbstractBy using the stability condition and general formulas developed by Fukushima (1998 = Paper I) we discovered that, just as in the case of the explicit symmetric multistep methods (Quinlan and Tremaine, 1990), when integrating orbital motions of celestial bodies, the implicit symmetric multistep methods used in the predictor-corrector manner lead to integration errors in position which grow linearly with the integration time if the stepsizes adopted are sufficiently small and if the number of corrections is sufficiently large, say two or three. We confirmed also that the symmetric methods (explicit or implicit) would produce the stepsize-dependent instabilities/resonances, which was discovered by A. Toomre in 1991 and confirmed by G.D. Quinlan for some high order explicit methods. Although the implicit methods require twice or more computational time for the same stepsize than the explicit symmetric ones do, they seem to be preferable since they reduce these undesirable features significantly.

The method demonstrated is an adaptation of a proven procedure for accurately determining the magnification of light photomicrographs. Because of the stability of modern electrical lenses, the method is shown to be directly applicable for providing precise reproducibility of magnification in various models of electron microscopes.A readily recognizable area of a carbon replica of a crossed-line diffraction grating is used as a standard. The same area of the standard was photographed in Phillips EM 200, Hitachi HU-11B2, and RCA EMU 3F electron microscopes at taps representative of the range of magnification of each. Negatives from one microscope were selected as guides and printed at convenient magnifications; then negatives from each of the other microscopes were projected to register with these prints. By deferring measurement to the print rather than comparing negatives, correspondence of magnification of the specimen in the three microscopes could be brought to within 2%.

The strengthening effect at high temperature produced by a dispersed oxide phase in a metal matrix is seemingly dependent on at least two major contributors: oxide particle size and spatial distribution, and stability of the worked microstructure. These two are strongly interrelated. The stability of the microstructure is produced by polygonization of the worked structure forming low angle cell boundaries which become anchored by the dispersed oxide particles. The effect of the particles on strength is therefore twofold, in that they stabilize the worked microstructure and also hinder dislocation motion during loading.

It is well known that the resolution of bio-molecules in a high resolution electron microscope depends not just on the physical resolving power of the instrument, but also on the stability of these molecules under the electron beam. Experimentally, the damage to the bio-molecules is commo ly monitored by the decrease in the intensity of the diffraction pattern, or more quantitatively by the decrease in the peaks of an energy loss spectrum. In the latter case the exposure, EC, to decrease the peak intensity from IO to I’O can be related to the molecular dissociation cross-section, σD, by EC = ℓn(IO /I’O) /ℓD. Qu ntitative data on damage cross-sections are just being reported, However, the microscopist needs to know the explicit dependence of damage on: (1) the molecular properties, (2) the density and characteristics of the molecular film and that of the support film, if any, (3) the temperature of the molecular film and (4) certain characteristics of the electron microscope used

Milk is an unusually stable colloidal system; the stability of this system is due primarily to the formation of micelles by the major milk proteins, the caseins. Numerous models for the structure of casein micelles have been proposed; these models have been formulated on the basis of in vitro studies. Synthetic casein micelles (i.e., those formed by mixing the purified αsl- and k-caseins with Ca2+ in appropriate ratios) are dissimilar to those from freshly-drawn milks in (i) size distribution, (ii) ratio of Ca/P, and (iii) solvation (g. water/g. protein). Evidently, in vivo organization of the caseins into the micellar form occurs in-a manner which is not identical to the in vitro mode of formation.

In reaction sintered SiC (∽ 5um average grain size), about 15% of the grains were found to have long-period structures, which were identifiable by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the stability of the long-period polytypes at high temperature, crystal structures as well as microstructural changes in the long-period polytypes were analyzed as a function of time in isothermal annealing.Each polytype was analyzed by two methods: (1) Electron diffraction, and (2) Electron micrograph analysis. Fig. 1 shows microdensitometer traces of ED patterns (continuous curves) and calculated intensities (vertical lines) along 10.l row for 6H and 84R (Ramsdell notation). Intensity distributions were calculated based on the Zhdanov notation of (33) for 6H and [ (33)3 (32)2 ]3 for 84R. Because of the dynamical effect in electron diffraction, the observed intensities do not exactly coincide with those intensities obtained by structure factor calculations. Fig. 2 shows the high resolution TEM micrographs, where the striped patterns correspond to direct resolution of the structural lattice periodicities of 6H and 84R structures and the spacings shown in the figures are as expected for those structures.
