Let u be the equilibrium potential of a compact set K in R. An electrostatic skeleton of K is a positive measure μ such that the closed support S of μ has connected complement and no interior, and the Newtonian (or logarithmic, when n = 2) potential of μ is equal to u near infinity. We prove the existence of an electrostatic skeleton for every convex polytope. Our proof raises several interesti...

personal samplers or in general blunt body samplers are widely used in occupational hygiene for collecting air contaminants in the work environments. this work is part of an ongoing research into the performance evaluation of personal samplers, particularly in terms of their aerodynamic properties. velocity profiles have been measured around and within typical cylindrical sampling devices, plac...

Fly ash (FA) and Air Pollution Control (APC) residues collected from three municipal solid waste incinerators (MSWI) in Denmark and Greenland were treated by electrodialytic remediation at pilot scale for 8 to 10 h. The original residues and the treated material were analysed for mercury (Hg) in order to assess the influence of the electrodialytic treatment on the concentrations of this element...

The description of molecular systems using multipolar electrostatics calls for automated methods to fit the necessary parameters. In this paper, we describe an open-source software package that allows fitting atomic multipoles (MTPs) from the ab initio electrostatic potential by adequate atom typing and judicious assignment of the local axis system. By enabling the simultaneous fit of several m...

In the paper a review is given of the current state of the art of micromachined inertial sensors accelerometers and gyroscopes. These sensors can be used in a wide range of applications and micromachined devices have a number of significant advantages over their conventional counterparts such as lower cost, smaller form factor and lower power consumption. An overview will be given over the dive...

2014 The capabilities of Rutherford backscattering in surface analysis are limited by the energy resolution of the solid state detectors and their rapid degradation for heavier projectiles. Here, we investigate the possibilities of an electrostatic analyser (ESA) detecting heavy projectiles (7Li+, 12C+) backscattered from various compound semiconductor surfaces, essentially with respect to mass...

In this article our objective is to obtain steady state characteristics of shunt, series, and separately excited DC motors coupled with a centrifugal water pump supplied through a step-up, step-down, and cuk converter from photovoltaic generator. We assume that there are no storage batteries and, of course, the system must operate on maximum utilization i.e. maximum water must be pumped. It is ...
