An experimental study of deep water plunging breakers
(The American Institute of Physics, 1996-09)
Plunging breaking waves are generated mechanically on the surface of essentially deep water in a two‐dimensional wave tank by superposition of progressive waves with slowly decreasing frequency. The time evolution of the ...
Dynamic stability of vortex solutions of Ginzburg-Landau and nonlinear Schrödinger equations
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-10)
The dynamic stability of vortex solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau and nonlinear Schrödinger equations is the basic assumption of the asymptotic particle plus field description of interacting vortices. For the Ginzburg-Landau ...
The maximum coefficient of performance of internally irreversible refrigerators and heat pumps
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1996-04-14)
A class of irreversible refrigeration cycles is investigated to determine the maximum coefficient of performance in the heat pump mode and the refrigerator mode. For the purpose of generality and simplicity of the results, ...
Formation of buried TiN in glass by ion implantation to reduce solar load
(The American Institute of Physics, 1996-09-01)
Ti and N were implanted into soda lime glass to doses up to 4.5×1017 cm−2 to reduce solar load and infrared transmission. Analysis of the Ti+N implant distributions by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and x‐ray ...
A Vlasov description of the Euler equation
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 1996-09-01)
A form of the Euler equation using an impulse formulation is presented. This form is based on a representation of the divergence-free projection operator in terms of a continuous distribution of vortex dipoles which have ...
Successful and unsuccessful approaches to imaging carcinoids: Comparison of a radiolabelled tryptophan hydroxylase inhibitor with a tracer of biogenic amine uptake and storage, and a somatostatin analogue
(Springer-Verlag, 1996-02)
A mouse mastocytoma model was used to determine the biodistribution and tumour uptake of four radiopharmaceuticals developed to target the serotonin synthetic pathway in carcinoid tumours. Three of the compounds were ...
A remark on diffusion of directed polymers in random environments
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1996-10)
We consider a system of random walks or directed polymers interacting with an environment which is random in space and time. Under minimal assumptions on the distribution of the environment, we prove that this system has ...
Adatom migration effects during molecular beam epitaxial growth of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells on patterned substrates with vertical sidewalls: Blue shift in luminescence spectra
(The American Institute of Physics, 1996-02-19)
We have studied the blue shift in photoluminescence emission energy of pseudomorphic InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells grown on patterned (001) GaAs substrates with grooves and trenches having vertical sidewalls made by dry etching. ...
Antiproton annihilation dynamics in the Gasdynamic Fusion Rocket
(The American Institute of Physics, 1996-03-01)
The use of antiprotons to initiate the fusion reactions in the Gasdynamic Fusion Rocket (GDFR) is examined as potential replacement of the neutral beam injection system often cited in connection with fusion power reactors. ...
Physics goals of a μ+μ− collider
(The American Institute of Physics, 1996-01-20)
This working group report focuses on the physics potential of μ+μ− colliders beyond what can be accomplished at linear e+e− colliders and the LHC. Particularly interesting possibilities include (i) s‐channel resonance ...
