Abstract 1. A method of measuring and obtaining the equilibrium isotherms of strain for vulcanized butadiene-styrene rubber is described. 2. It is shown that the component of the elastic force of the rubber which depends on the internal energy has a value of several per cent. 3. Calculation shows that the change in the volume of uncrystallizable rubber, at 300 per cent strain, has a value less than 0.1 per cent. 4. A comparison of the results obtained with the thermodynamic equations shows that the deformation of the rubber investigated can be considered strictly high elastic and entropic. 5. A comparison of the experimental data with the theory of high elastic deformation confirms the accuracy of the conclusions from the theory.

The stiffness of the hadronic equation of state (EoS) has been extracted from the production rate of K+ mesons in heavy ion collisions around 1 A GeV incident energy. The data are best described with a compressibility coefficient κ around 200 MeV, a value which is usually called "soft". This is concluded from a detailed comparison of the results of transport theories with the experimental data.

Meshing of domain in CFD is an important step to ensure accuracy of the solution. In the past, hexahedral or tetrahedral mesh systems were commonly used, and both have their merits and demerits. For large and complex geometry, polyhedral is another option but its accuracy is claimed to be lacking. In this paper, the use of polyhedral mesh system by past researchers are reviewed. Evaluation on the application of polyhedral mesh system for the study of the vortex formation with a simple single pump sump model is made. Validation was made through the comparison of the results from hexahedral, tetrahedral and polyhedral mesh sizes and the experimental data from published data. The polyhedral mesh system was found to perform satisfactorily and was able to match the results from the hexahedral mesh system as well as the experimental data.

Abstract Molecular dynamic models are created for properties of bivalent ions in organic solvents. It is shown that molecules of the considered solvents bound to ions via oxygen atoms. A theoretical model is developed that describes the ion coordination number. The coordination number in this model is determined by the ratio between the sizes of the ion and the atom organic molecule bound to it. It is shown that the coordination number depends weakly on the solvent and strongly on the type of ion. A value of 0.13 nm is obtained for the effective size of an oxygen atom bound to a bivalent ion. The constructed theoretical model agrees with the results from molecular dynamic calculations and the available experimental data.

Real world groundwater aquifers are heterogeneous and system variables are not uniformly distributed across the aquifer. Therefore, in the modelling of the contaminant transport, we need to consider the uncertainty associated with the system. Unny presented a method to describe the system by stochastic differential equations and then to estimate the parameters by using the maximum likelihood approach. In this paper, this method was explored by using artificial and experimental data. First a set of data was used to explore the effect of system noise on estimated parameters. The experimental data was used to compare the estimated parameters with the calibrated results. Estimates obtained from artificial data show reasonable accuracy when the system noise is present. The accuracy of the estimates has an inverse relationship to the noise. Hydraulic conductivity estimates in a one-parameter situation give more accurate results than in a two-parameter situation. The effect of the noise on estimates of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient is less compared to the effect on hydraulic conductivity estimates. Comparison of the results of the experimental dataset shows that estimates of the longitudinal dispersion coefficient are similar to the aquifer calibrated results. However, hydraulic conductivity does not provide a similar level of accuracy. The main advantage of the estimation method presented here is its direct dependence on field observations in the presence of reasonably large noise levels.

Abstract An equation of state has been developed for rhodium in a wide range of changes in the specific volume and internal energy. The results of calculations of the thermodynamic characteristics of this metal are presented in comparison with the available experimental data at high pressures. This equation of state can be used in the numerical simulation of hydrodynamic processes under intense impulse influences on matter.

AbstractDopamine activity may transition between two patterns: phasic responses to reward-predicting cues and ramping activity arising when an agent approaches the reward. However, when and why dopamine activity transitions between these modes is not understood. We hypothesize that the transition between ramping and phasic patterns reflects resource allocation which addresses the task dimensionality problem during reinforcement learning (RL). By parsimoniously modifying a standard temporal difference (TD) learning model to accommodate a mixed presentation of both experimental and environmental stimuli, we simulated dopamine transitions and compared it with experimental data from four different studies. The results suggested that dopamine transitions from ramping to phasic patterns as the agent narrows down candidate stimuli for the task; the opposite occurs when the agent needs to re-learn candidate stimuli due to a value change. These results lend insight into how dopamine deals with the tradeoff between cognitive resource and task dimensionality during RL.

Abstract 1. It is shown that the absolute values of the coagulation thresholds of SKS-30A latexes diluted down to 0.01% correspond to the usual values for lyophobic sols. The values for NaCl are 200 times those for CaCl2, and increase with the latex concentration. The complete coagulation concentration for NaCl is 30 times that for CaCl2, and does not depend on the dilution of the latex. 2. It was shown by a nephelometric method that the volume of the primary particles formed in coagulation of the latex by sodium chloride is about 10 times the volume of the uncoagulated latex globules, irrespective of the latex concentration. 3. Consideration of the experimental data, in conjunction with facts reported in the literature, leads to the concept of two stages in the coagulation of latex by electrolytes: the first is the consequence of a decrease of the zeta potential, leading to the formation of primary particles, and the second leads to coalescence of these particles. The secondary aggregation processes can be prevented or modified by introduction of certain additives (nonelectrolytes) into the latex. 4. In additon to an explanation of the mechanism of latex coagulation by electrolytes, and a demonstration that this process can be controlled, indications are given of means of an approach to development of conditions for the production of a good blanket by coagulation of latex by sodium chloride, with a much decreased consumption of the latter.

Of the major replacements for chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are now accepted as being prime contributors to stratospheric ozone depletion. As a consequence, the development of adsorbents capable of adsorbing and recovering specific HCFCs has received great attention. This paper describes an investigation of the adsorption equilibrium of 1, 1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) vapour on a commercial hydrophobic zeolite. The corresponding Henry, Freundlich and Dubinin–Radushkevich (D–R) equilibrium isotherms have been determined and found to correlate well with the experimental data. Based on the Henry adsorption isotherms obtained at 283, 303 and 313 K. thermodynamic properties such as the enthalpy, free energy and entropy of adsorption have been computed for the adsorption of HCFC-141b vapour on the adsorbent. The results obtained could be useful in the application of HCFC adsorption on the hydrophobic zeolite studied.

Measurements of the phonon spectrum of the LED heterostructure based on the In0.12Ga0.88N/GaN barrier showed the presence in it of four peaks of phonon radiation with energies of 0.193, 0.207, 0.353, and 0.356 eV. From a comparison of the results of the calculation of the energy spectrum of the electron and hole quantum wells with the obtained experimental data, it was assumed that these peaks can be interpreted as the energies of phonons generated during the capture of electrons from the barrier layer to the second level of dimensional quantization, as well as during the relaxation of electrons from the second level to the radiation level and trapping holes to the upper level of the quantum well.

SummaryExperimental data in the system CaO-MgO-FeO-SiO2 suggest that there may be a plateau on the liquidus and solidus of the multicomponent system basalt-peridotite. If this is so, fusion of peridotite would produce only basaltie magmas over a wide temperature range; when the temperature reached a value such that the liquid crossed the threshold of the plateau, there would be a rapid increase in the amount of fusion for small temperature increases, with the formation of picritic magmas; basaltic magmas containing suspended forsteritic olivine crystals could dissolve them if the temperature rose slightly above that of the plateau threshold; a high proportion of a picritic magma would crystallize in a small temperature interval, with the precipitation of forsteritic olivine that was only slightly zoned. These possibilities are compared with current theories, and it is concluded that several petrological axioms may require critical re-examination. An experimental procedure is outlined to determine the shape of the liquidus and solidus in the basalt-peridotite system.
