Non-Equilibrium Pattern Formation in the Crystallization of Polymer Blend Films

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
V Ferreiro, Jack F. Douglas, James A. Warren, Alamgir Karim
The crystallization of polymeric and metallic materials normally occurs under conditions far from equilibrium. The morphologies formed reflect a competition between order associated with the symmetries of the equilibrium crystal geometry and disorder

On Repeated Adiabatic Shear Band Formation During High-Speed Machining

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Timothy J. Burns, Matthew A. Davies
We compare the repeated adiabatic shear band formation that takes place at sufficient large cutting speeds in a number of materials during high speed machining operations with the more well known formation of a single shear band that often takes place at

Author(s)
G P. Zhang, G T. Woods, Eric L. Shirley, T A. Callcott, L Lin, B. C. Sales, D Mandrus, G S. Chang, J He
We demonstrate that angle-resolved soft x-ray spectroscopy can resolve absorption by inequivalent oxygen sites and by different orbitals belonging to the same site. By rotating the polarization direction, we see a dramatic change in the absorption spectra

QoS Routing Under Adversarial Binary Uncertainty

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Vladimir V. Marbukh
A cost-based admission control and routing scheme admits an arriving request on the minimum cost route if this cost does not exceed the cost of the request, and rejects the request otherwise. Cost based strategies naturally arise as a result of

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
V Yurovsky, A Ben-Reuven, Paul S. Julienne
Formation of Atomic Pairs by dissociation of a molecular condensate or by inelastic collisions in an atomic condensate due to time-dependent curve crossing is studied beyond the mean-field approximation. The number of atoms formed by the spontaneous

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
D Behar, Pedatsur Neta, C R. Schultheisz
Rate constants for several reduction and oxidation reactions were determined by pulse radiolysis in three ionic liquids and compared with rate constants in other solvents. Radiolysis of the ionic liquids methyltributylammonium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl

Refrigerant Flow Through Flexible Short-Tube Orifices

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
William V. Payne, Y C. Kim, Dennis L. O'Neal, Mohsen Farzad
Flexible short-tube orifices were designed to decrease their diameter as the pressure differential across them increases under high outdoor temperatures. A series of tests for an R-22/lubricant mixture (mass fraction of oil 1.2%) were performed with two
