simultaneous thermal analysis (sta) method has been applied to study decomposition reactions of ap under a flowing nitrogen atmosphere and static air. results obtained indicate that a phase transformation occurs prior to the decomposition reaction. decomposition takes place exothermally in two stages, first stage of decomposition could be suppressed by the controlled heating programme. addition...

To explore the role of adiposity on hypertriglyceridemia associated with obesity, we examined the relation between triglyceride secretion rate (TGSR) and plasma leptin, insulin, or insulin resistance in ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH)-lesioned rats in the dynamic and static phases (2 and 14 wk after lesions, respectively). VMH-lesioned rats gained body weight (BW) at fivefold higher rates in th...

A new Quasi-Static Energy Recovery Logic family (QSERL) using the principle of adiabatic switching is proposed in this paper. Most of the previously proposed adiabatic logic are dynamic and require complex clocking schemes. The proposed Quasi-Static energy recovery logic uses two complementary sinusoidal supply clocks and resembles behaviors of static CMOS. Thus, switching activity is signiican...

In this work, three different particle sizes: the static radius Rs, hydrodynamic radius Rh and apparent hydrodynamic radius Rh,app obtained using the light scattering technique, are investigated for dilute poly-disperse homogenous spherical particles with a simple assumption that the hydrodynamic radius is in proportion to the static radius, when the Rayleigh-Gans-Debye approximation is valid. ...

The phase diagram of the random energy model in a transverse field is investigated. Using the replica method and the static approximation, we show that the phase diagram consists of four phases: Quantum paramagnetic, classical paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and spin-glass phases. We show that the static approximation is valid in the ferromagnetic phase in the limit p → ∞ by using the large-p expa...

The phase diagram of the p-spin-interacting spin glass model in a transverse field is investigated in the limit p → ∞ under the presence of ferromagnetic bias. Using the replica method and the static approximation, we show that the phase diagram consists of four phases: Quantum paramagnetic, classical paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and spin-glass phases. We also show that the static approximation...

This study investigated the impact of prolonged consonant durations on the McGurk effect and the role of static visual information in this cross-modal illusion. It was found that the McGurk effect did not break down nor diminish in strength when the consonant duration was extended up to 3.8s. This remained unchanged when the video frames in the quasi-static phase of the prolonged target consona...

We show how to transform a Dirac equation in a curved static spacetime into a Dirac equation in flat spacetime. In particular, we show that any solution of the free massless Dirac equation in a 1 + 1 dimensional flat spacetime can be transformed via a local phase transformation into a solution of the corresponding Dirac equation in a curved static background, where the spacetime metric is encod...

The possible role of the van Hove singularity (vHs) in stabilizing the low-temperature orthorhombic (LTO) phase transition in La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 (LSCO) is discussed. It is found that the vHs can drive a structural distortion in two different ways, either due to spin-orbit coupling or to dynamic Jahn-Teller (JT) effects. This paper discusses the latter effect in some detail. It is shown that a mo...
