Coalescence-induced droplet jumping has received more attention recently, because of its potential applications in condensation heat transfer enhancement, anti-icing and self-cleaning, etc. In this paper, the molecular dynamics simulation method is applied to study coalescence-induced two nanodroplets with equal size on surfaces periodic strip-like wettability patterns. The results show that st...

We consider the following instance of projective clustering, known as the 2-line-center problem: Given a set S of n points in R2, cover S by two congruent strips of minimum width. Algorithms that find the optimal solution for this problem have near-quadratic running time. In this paper we present an algorithm that, for any ε > 0, computes in time O(n(logn+ ε−2 log(1/ε))+ ε−7/2 log(1/ε)) a cover...

Constraints on the lifetime and width of the Higgs boson are obtained from H → ZZ → 4l events using data recorded by the CMS experiment during the LHC run 1 with an integrated luminosity of 5.1 and 19.7 fb−1 at a center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The measurement of the Higgs boson lifetime is derived from its flight distance in the CMS detector with an upper bound of τH < 1.9 ...

Lent’ and also 301s and Macucci* have carried out numerical calculations for transmission and bound states of a quantum wire with a circular bend. We shall show here that their results can be understood in detail, and very simply,. in the approximation introduced by Jensen and Koppe3 that the width of the wire is small compared to its radius of curvature. As we shall see, the results are excell...
