In the present work, ternary special quasirandom structures SQSs for a fcc solid solution phase are generated at different compositions, xA=xB=xC= 1 3 and xA= 1 2 , xB=xC= 1 4 , whose correlation functions are satisfactorily close to those of a random fcc solution. The generated SQSs are used to calculate the mixing enthalpy of the fcc phase in the Ca-Sr-Yb system. It is observed that first-pri...

It is known that any binary logic function (in binary logic) can be represented by at least one logic formula, however this is not always true for a ternary logic function (in ternary logic). A ternary logic function can be represented by at least one logic formula if and only if it satisfies a mathematical condition which is called regularity. Also, it is known that a fuzzy logic formula (in s...

The application of the subhalide reaction to Al refining has recently been a subject of increasing concern as a process to obtain pure Al from crude Al alloys. In this process, the ternary Al-Si-Fe alloy containing various amounts of Si and Fe which is produced(1)-(3) by the direct reduction of bauxite or alumina-bearing ores is used as the raw material. Therefore, on obtaining pure Al from Al-...

This paper deals with design and performance estimation of typical units blocks of a ternary DSP using SUS-LOC concepts. SUS-LOC enables the design of ternary logic cells and is based upon the use of enhanced and depleted MOS transistors. After the presentation of the basic concepts and of the transistor models required for SUS-LOC specific transistors, we show the design of ternary combinatori...

greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

Formation of green coloured ternary complexes between palladium, chromeazurol S and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide or cetylpyridinium bromide is described over the pH range 4.6 to 5.6. The compositions, Pd(CAS)CTA2 and Pd(CAS)CP2 for the ternary complexes have been established by Job's method of continuous variations and by the mole ratio method using absorbance data. Strict control of experime...

Tables are presented of good ternary and quaternary codes and they are used in the construction of dense sphere packings. Results include 1) tables of the best ternary and quaternary constacyclic codes (including cyclic codes) up to block length 50, 2 ) a class of optimal [ n , 21 codes over GF(q), 3) the ( U + U + w I2u + U I U ) construction, a new ternary code construction technique that can...

The integration of multiple materials with complementary absorptions into a single junction device is regarded as an efficient way to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, because of increased complexity with one more component, only limited high-performance ternary systems have been demonstrated previously. Here we report an efficient ternary ble...

We study pattern avoidance in the context of partial words. The problem of classifying the avoidable binary patterns has been solved, so we move on to ternary and more general patterns. Our results, which are based on morphisms (iterated or not), determine all the ternary patterns’ avoidability indices or at least give bounds for them.

We analyze the weighted height of random tries built from independent strings of i.i.d. symbols on the finite alphabet {1, . . . , d}. The edges receive random weights whose distribution depends upon the number of strings that visit that edge. Such a model covers the hybrid tries of de la Briandais (1959) and the TST of Bentley and Sedgewick (1997), where the search time for a string can be dec...
