We compare the energies of different electron solids, such as bubble crystals with triangular and square symmetry and stripe phases, to those of correlated quantum liquids in partially filled intermediate Landau levels. Multiple transitions between these phases when varying the filling of the top-most partially filled Landau level explain the observed reentrance of the integer quantum Hall effe...

Sloshing problems in partially filled large LNG carriers are of increasing concern because sloshing loads may endanger LNG carriers in operations. Currently, most investigations on sloshing problems mainly focus on the analysis of liquids in rigid tanks which omitted fluid-structure interactions. Based on a mixed displacement–pressure finite element method developed, the authors recently invest...

Atmospheric parameters retrieved by remote sensing techniques often represent averages over considerable space or time intervals. Unresolved variability of corresponding primary physical values is a problem as soon as non-linear relations between the primary physical value and the retrieved parameter come into play, as for example the R(Z)relation between radar reflectivity Z and rain rate R. W...

An outbreak of Campylobacter enteritis among staff on a resort island in north Queensland is reported. Untreated rainwater and food from the staff dining room were initially suspected as possible sources of infection but Campylobacter species were not isolated from any environmental samples. Faecal contamination was detected in four rainwater tanks. A case control study involved a total of 23 c...

Abstract Based on the structure of traditional small caliber APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot), a novel reactive core projectile (RCP) is proposed to improve damage capability against fuel tank. The penetration processes RCPs impacting partially filled tanks with different angles are investigated by numerical simulation, in which Powder Burn model adopted describe unique impact-induced del...

Transoceanic shipping is the dominant vector for exotic species introductions in the North American Great Lakes. Over 60% of the invaders discovered since the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 are attributable to ballast water release (Ricciardi, 2006). Ocean-going vessels have been required since 1993 to exchange their filled ballast tanks at sea to reduce the abundance and viability ...

This paper considers the influence of hydrodynamic processes in movement free surface liquid partially filled tractor tanks. Splashing containers is a significant problem study functional stability marine, aerospace, rail, and automotive industries. After all, it affects productivity traffic safety. The same effect was observed when performing transportation work while delivering cargoes agricu...
