In this paper, a model is proposed for the kernel in the generalized mixing rule recently formulated by Anderssen and Mead (1998). In order to derive such a model, it is necessary to take account of the rheological significance of the kernel in terms of the relaxation behaviour of the individual polymers involved. This leads naturally to consider a way how additional physical effects, which dep...

In this paper we study mixing properties of one-dimensional linear cellular automata over the ring Zm, a particular class of dynamical systems, determined by right (left) permutative local rule F with respect to the uniform Markov measure induced by doubly stochastic matrix P = p(i,j) and the probability vector π. We prove that one-dimensional linear cellular automata associated to right (resp....

The thermal conductivity of a dense multi-component plasma is critical to the modeling of accreting neutron stars. To this end, we perform large-scale molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the static structure factor of the dense multi-component plasma in the neutron star crust from near the photosphere-ocean boundary to the vicinity of the neutron drip point. The structure factors are us...

We discuss oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos into sterile neutrinos in the 2+2 scheme. A zero order sum rule requires equal probabilities for oscillation into νs and ντ in the solar+atmospheric data sample. Data does not favor this claim. Here we use scatter plots to assess corrections of the zero order sum rule when (i) the 4× 4 neutrino mixing matrix assumes its full range of al...

A procedure is presented for the simultaneous prediction of fluid–fluid and solid–fluid equilibrium of light gases/heavy hydrocarbons systems under pressure. The objective of this work is to simplify the predictive approach previously proposed by the authors, making it more useful and accessible to users at the petroleum industry. The main modification with respect to the complex LCVM (linear c...

One of the major uncertainties in the understanding of Earth’s climate system is the interaction between solar radiation and aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols exposed to high humidity will change their chemical, physical, and optical properties due to their increased water content. To model hydrated aerosols, atmospheric chemistry and climate models often use the volume weighted mixing rule ...

the molecular weight distribution of 4 commercial isotactic polypropylene (ipp) samples was estimated using rheological data. the dynamic moduli data, obtained from rheological measurements in linear viscoelastic region was used for calculation of relaxation time spectrum, h(τ) and then shear relaxation modulus, g(t). finally, applying thimm kernel function and relaxation modulus data in genera...
