The article presents the results of research work to optimize working dimensions sealing bodies dammer. A ski-shaped sheet and a cone roller are used as elements seal outer inner parts temporary sprinkler dam. sliding body compresses, thanks presence inclined cheek SH eliminates restoration compacted soil with EC section. When moves along surface dam slope, it is immersed under action its own w...

Hydrodynamic dispersion is an important factor controlling contaminant migration in the subsurface environment. However, few comprehensive data sets exist for critically evaluating the impact of travel distance and site heterogeneity on solute dispersion. Therefore, a series of field-scale experiments using tritiated water (H2O), and bromide (Br) as tracers was conducted on the U.S. Department ...

We investigate the complex magnetic behavior of LaFe12B6 by means magnetostriction, and thermal expansion measurements in applied fields up to 14 T, elucidating interplay between crystal lattice spins. As main results, we have discovered a remarkably large negative (NTE) giant magnetostriction this itinerant-electron system. Of particular interest are low-temperature isotherms (T ≤ 5 K) all whi...

We investigate a non-Markovian analogue of the Harris contact process in finite connected graph G=(V,E): an individual is attached to each site x∈V, and it can be infected or healthy; infection propagates healthy neighbors just as usual process, according independent exponential times with fixed rate λ>0; however, recovery for are given by points renewal its timeline, whose waiting have distrib...

We report the discovery of giant magnetostriction and huge negative thermal expansion (NTE) in itinerant-electron metamagnetic compound La0.85Ce0.15Fe12B6. This system presents multiple magnetic transformations, antiferromagnetic–ferromagnetic (AFM–FM) ferromagnetic–paramagnetic (FM–PM), driven by changes both external field temperature. The magnetic-field–dependent exhibits irreversible abrupt...

Deep inelastic scattering provides us with detailed information on the nucleon structure. In order to extract the parton distribution functions from DIS cross sections and to measure αs(M 2 Z) with high precision it is crucial to control the QED radiative corrections. The 1– and 2–loop leading–log QED corrections were derived in Ref. [1–3]. Complete 1-loop corrections for DIS were given in Refs...
