Coexistence curves of square-well fluids with variable interaction width and of the restricted primitive model for ionic solutions have been investigated by means of grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations aided by histogram reweighting and multicanonical sampling techniques. It is demonstrated that this approach results in efficient data collection. The shape of the coexistence curve of the sq...

Insects often used as accumulation indicators of hazardous elements. Pitfall traps with ethylene glycol as trapping fluid are frequently used to collect insects. We studied the effect of glycol and preservation with ethanol on the elemental composition of hand collected firebugs. Control samples were stored in a freezer and the following treatments were used: insect kept in trapping fluid for 2...

An operator method is provided to generate an explicit set of complete eigenfunctions for the Calogero-Sutherland model, obtained earlier by Vacek, Okiji and Kawakami, through a special ansatz. We find the connection of the above basis set with the general eigenfunctions of this model and explicitly show that these states describe only the center of mass motion. †email: [email protected] 1 ...
