the aim of this paper is to characterize welding of aisi 310 austenitic stainless steel to inconel 657 for use in oil-refining industries. the welds were produced using four types of filler materials; nickel-based alloys designated as inconel 82, a, 617, and 310 ss. the interfaces and heat-affected zones were characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy. interfaces on the two sides...

In the first billion years after its formation, Galaxy underwent several mergers with dwarf satellites of various masses. The debris Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), galaxy responsible for last significant merger Milky Way, dominates inner halo and has been suggested to be progenitor both Hercules-Aquila Cloud (HAC) Virgo Overdensity (VOD). We combine SEGUE, APOGEE, Gaia, StarHorse distances chara...

In 1994, Olsson published a model predicting the intensity and quality of an odor mixture percept on the basis of the intensities of the unmixed components. Whether this model can also be used for mixtures of dissimilar tasting substances was investigated for sucrose/citric acid mixtures. The identification data revealed asymmetrical mixture suppression, which does not support the model. The in...

Phylogenetic mixtures model the inhomogeneous molecular evolution commonly observed in data. The performance of phylogenetic reconstruction methods where the underlying data are generated by a mixture model has stimulated considerable recent debate. Much of the controversy stems from simulations of mixture model data on a given tree topology for which reconstruction algorithms output a tree of ...

Let J be the ideal of vertex covers of a graph G. We give a graph theoretical characterization of the minimal generators of the symbolic Rees algebra of J . If G is perfect, it is shown that the Rees algebra of J is normal and we compute the irreducible representation of the Rees cone of J in terms of cliques. Then we prove that if G is perfect and unmixed, then the Rees algebra of J is a Goren...

Definition 1. Among the most important and ubiquitous of all partial differential equations is Laplace’s Equation: ∆u = 0, where the Laplacian operator ∆ acts on the function u : U → R (U is open in R) by taking the sum of the unmixed partial derivatives. For example: n = 1: ∆u = ∂ 2u ∂x2 = u = 0 In this simple case, the solution u = ax + b is found by integrating twice. n = 2: ∆u = ∂ 2u ∂x1 + ...

We investigate an algebraic approach to a conjecture of Conforti and Cornuéjols by examining associated primes of square-free monomial ideals. The conjecture states that a clutter C has the max-flow min-cut (MFMC) property if and only if it has the packing property. We show that if a minimal counterexample C to this conjecture exists then C cannot be unmixed. It is known that C satisfies MFMC i...

The title non-stoichiometric penta-lanthanum zinc diplumbide, La5Zn1-x Pb2+x (x ≃ 0.6), was prepared from the elements in an evacuated silica ampoule. It adopts the Nb5Sn2Si-type structure (space group I4/mcm, Pearson symbol tI32), a ternary ordered superstructure of the W5Si3 type. Among the four independent crystallographic positions, three are fully occupied by La (Wyckoff 16k), La (4b), and...
