Recomputation of the collision efficiency of nearly equal water drops falling in air gave values which increase as the size ratio approaches uiiity for radii of the bigger drop larger than 6 3 p, and decreased as though tending toward zero for smaller radii. For the bigger radii the new computcd values are consistent with experimental results, but for radii around 40 ,U they are not.

We introduce three natural and well-defined generalizations of maximal Poisson-disk sampling. The first is to decouple the disk-free (inhibition) radius from the maximality (coverage) radius. Selecting a smaller inhibition radius than the coverage radius yields samples which mix advantages of Poisson-disk and uniform-random samplings. The second generalization yields hierarchical samplings, by ...

Atomic radii are not precisely defined but are nevertheless widely used parameters in modeling and understanding molecular structure and interactions. The van der Waals radii determined by Bondi from molecular crystals and data for gases are the most widely used values, but Bondi recommended radius values for only 28 of the 44 main-group elements in the periodic table. In the present Article, w...

The theme of this paper is the connection between topological properties of a closed orientable hyperbolic 3-manifold M and the maximal injectivity radius of M . In [4] we showed that if the first Betti number of M is at least 3 then the maximal injectivity radius of M is at least log 3. By contrast, the best known lower bound for the maximal injectivity radius of M with no topological restrict...

which are square invertible and have zeros – i.e. roots of detP (λ) – inside a given region Γ. We say that P (λ) is Γ-stable and call Γ the stability region. The complex stability radius rC of such polynomial matrices is the norm of the smallest perturbation ∆P (λ) . = ∆P0 +∆P1λ+ · · ·∆Pkλ k needed to “destabilize” P (λ) + ∆P (λ) and hence causing at least one zero of P (λ) + ∆P (λ) to leave th...

Operator radii wp(T) for a bounded linear operator T on a Hubert space were introduced in connection with unitary p-dilations. We shall be concerned with universal estimates for the ratios wp(ST)/(wa(S)wl,(T)) for commuting operators S, T and o, p > 0. 1. All operators in this paper are bounded linear operators on a complex Hubert space §. We say an operator T belongs to the class G (0 < p < oo...
