Ion acoustic parametric decay instability in a plasma with [beta] > 1
(Elsevier, 1976-10-04)
It is found that in a plasma with [beta] > 1 a finite amplitude ion acoustic wave is unstable and decays into two shear Alfven waves propagating in opposite directions. The threshold and growth rate of the instability ...
The Stokes Stream Function in Axially Symmetric Potential Theory
(Oxford University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 1976-02)
Some consequences of the inequality conditions in contact and crack problems
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Sijthoff & Noordhoff International Publishers ; Springer Science+Business Media, 1979-01)
The importance of the inequalities and related side conditions that must be incorporated in contact and crack problems is emphasized and the ensuing consequences explored. An asymptotic analysis of the transitions from ...
Effectiveness factor calculations for immobilized enzyme catalysts
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1973-09)
The steady state, nonlinear diffusion equations which describe reactions in constrained enzyme solutions are of great interest in many biological and engineering applications. As in other types of nonlinear differential ...
Obtaining real parts of scattering amplitudes directly from cross section data using derivative analyticity relations
(Elsevier, 1974-04-15)
We show that one can obtain real parts of scattering amplitudes by knowing the imaginary parts at only nearby energies. This is accomplished by re-casting the dispersion integral into an equivalent form which we will calla ...
Equilibrium and stability of a whirling rod-mass system
(Elsevier, 1977)
A two-degree-of-freedom lumped-mass model is used to gain understanding of the equilibrium and stability of a circularly towed cable. Particular cases considered are those of no drag, viscous drag, and viscous drag with a ...
Euclidean Fermi fields with a hermitean Feynman-Kac-Nelson formula. I
(Springer-Verlag, 1974-03)
We construct free, Euclidean, spin one-half, quantum fields with the following properties: (i) CAR; (ii) Symanzik positivity; (iii) Osterwalder-Schrader positivity; (iv) no doubling of particle or spin states. They admit ...
