The zeros of the partition function of the ferromagnetic q-state Potts model with long-range interactions in the complex-q plane are studied in the mean-field case, while preliminary numerical results are reported for the finite 1d chains with powerlaw decaying interactions. In both cases, at any fixed temperature, the zeros lie on the arc-shaped contours, which cross the positive real axis at ...

 provision of large, stress-bearing area  excellent fatigue strength  good shock absorption  reduced galvanic corrosion  no need to have access to far-side of adherend to make joint  bonding is possible on dissimilar materials  provision of smooth contours and sections around joint areas  sealing  improved damping which increases structural stiffness  reduction in distortion and metal...

The infrared spectra of CH 3 CH 2 COONa and its C-labeled modifications (1-C, 2-C, and 3l C) suspended in KBr disks were measured in the region 4000 —200 c m 1 at room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature. Overlapping complex band contours appeared in some regions of the room temperature spectrum, most notably in the region 1500 —1350 cm" , where 5 fundamentals having contributions from ...

GSWP-2 FACILITATES USE OF SATELLITE DATA IN MODEL VALIDATION BY PRODUC...

Temperature variability was studied on tropical reefs off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea using remote sensing from Aqua and Terra satellites. Cross-shore gradients in sea surface temperature (SST) were observed, including cold fronts (colder inshore) during winter and warm fronts (warmer inshore) during summer. Fronts persisted over synoptic and seasonal time-scales and had a periodic...

The Influence of Very Low Temperature on the Radiation Damage of Organic Crystals Irradiated by 100 keV-Electrons The radiation damage of electron irradiated organic compounds (paraffin, tetracene) was investigated in the temperature range 300 — 4 K. The radiation damage was measured by the decrease of diffraction intensities or the contrast of extinction contours. The damage of the crystals at...

The fundamental bands of the CCl3 asymmetric deformation modes of selected isotopomers of chloroform (CHCl3) and freon-11 (CFCl3) have been measured in a static cell at ambient temperature using a laser-based source of tunable radiation in the terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The analysis of the rotational contours of the bands enabled the derivation of the fundamental frequenc...
