The title compound, dinickel(II) strontium bis-[ortho-phosphate(V)] dihydrate, was obtained under hydro-thermal conditions. The crystal structure consists of linear chains (∞) (1)[NiO(2/2)(OH(2))(2/2)O(2/1)] of edge-sharing NiO(6) octa-hedra ( symmetry) running parallel to [010]. Adjacent chains are linked to each other through PO(4) tetra-hedra (m symmetry) and arranged in such a way to build ...

We propose a generalization to the usual hydrodynamic description of smectic A liquid crystals: The layer normal and the director are assumed to be coupled elastically to each other in such a way that they are parallel in equilibrium. If a sample with the layers parallel to the plates is sheared, our generalization leads in rst order to a ow alignment of the director in the ow direction without...

A method for performing anisotropic unstructured mesh adaptation is discussed that is well suited for computational fluid dynamics on parallel distributed memory computers. This algorithm which involves mesh motion, rather than refinement and coarsening, is fast, parallel, and fully conservative. The approach is effective at accurately capturing free-surface flows, boundary layers, and unsteady...

In the title compound, C(4)H(8)N(2)O(3)·C(4)H(6)O(6), the amino acid mol-ecule exists as a zwitterion and the carb-oxy-lic acid in an un-ionized state. The tartaric acid mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The amino acid mol-ecules are also linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The alternating tartaric acid...
