Discrete set selection of Saffman–Taylor fingers
(The American Institute of Physics, 1987-05)
A study of the linear stability of the discrete set of steady‐state Saffman–Taylor finger solutions at finite surface tension is presented. It is shown by explicit computation that members of the set aside from the lowest ...
The performance of "Virtual Phase" CCDs as detectors of minimum-ionizing particles
(Elsevier, 1987-10-01)
The Texas Instruments "Virtual Phase" CCD has been the basis of an ambitious design for a precision vertex detector to be used at the Stanford Linear Collider. The performance of this chip shows promise for future use in ...
Funicular state in drying of a porous slab
(Elsevier, 1987-07)
Drying of a non-hygroscopic porous slab initially saturated with liquid, up to the time of the first appearance of dried patches (critical time), is studied experimentally using glass beads and convective heating, and ...
Digital interferometry for flow visualization
(Springer-Verlag, 1987-11)
Digital holographic interferometry is a hybrid optical-digital technique for determining the phase of an interferogram. This technique improves the accuracy of interferometric measurement of fluid properties and enhances ...
The source rupture process of the Great Banda Sea earthquake of November 4, 1963
(Elsevier, 1987-04)
The Banda Sea earthquake of November 4, 1963 is one of the largest (Mw = 8.3) intraplate events. It involved oblique thrusting at an intermediate depth within the subducted lithosphere near the abrupt bend in the southeastern ...
On the thermodynamics of quantum-electrodynamic frequency shifts
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1987-03-14)
A paper by Barton (ibid., vol.20, p.879, 1987) comments on some of Ford et al.'s recent work in this general area and takes issue with some of their conclusions. Ford et al. point out that Barton's reinterpretation of his ...
Indirect measurement of vector boson scattering at high energies
(Elsevier, 1987-01-15)
The possibility of an indirect study of longitudinal gauge boson scattering and its relevance to new physics in the TeV region is analyzed.
Multidimensional inverse scattering: An orthogonalization formulation
(The American Institute of Physics, 1987-07)
The three‐dimensional Schrödinger equation inverse scattering problem is solved using an orthogonalization approach. The plane waves propagating in free space are orthogonalized with respect to an inner product defined in ...
Two-loop renormalisation of d = 2 [sigma]-models with torsion
(Elsevier, 1987-07-02)
A calculation of the two-loop [ss]-function for [sigma]-models with torsion is presented, for the bosonic and the N = 1 supersymmetric cases (using component fields). In the bosonic case the result agrees with a recent ...
The coupling of valence shell and particle-hole degrees of freedom in a partial random phase approximation
(Elsevier, 1987-03-02)
It is well known that the random phase approximation breaks down in the absence of a substantial energy gap between occupied and unoccupied single-particle states. Particle-hole excitations are then inevitably accompanied ...
