Universal Correlation to Reconcile Yielding Characterizations of Waxy Oil Gels

The rural public may not only be concerned with the consequences of land management; residents may also have systematic preferences for policy instruments applied to management goals. Preferences for outcomes do not necessarily imply matching support for the underlying policy process. This study assesses relationships among support for elements of the policy process and preferences for management outcomes. Preferences are examined within the context of alternative proposals to manage growth and conserve landscape attributes in southern New England. Results are based on (a) stated preferences estimated from a multi-attribute contingent choice survey of rural residents, and (b) Likert-scale assessment of strength of support for land use policy tools. Findings indicate general but not universal correlation among policy support indicators and preferences for associated land use outcomes, but also confirm the suspicion that policy support and land use preference may not always coincide.

Abstract The paper describes a new configuration using a gaseous detonation explosive blast source suitable for the studies of the instantaneous uniform pressure loading and mechanical response of materials. The capabilities of the configuration are illustrated by a preliminary series of experiments of the dynamic loading of clamped circular plates of 304 grade stainless steel with thicknesses ranging from 9.5 mm to 0.5 mm. The mechanical responses of the plates were monitored using strain gauges placed across the plate radius together with physical measurements of any permanent residual displacement of the center of the plate. The residual central deformations were analyzed using a well-established correlation involving nondimensional pressure load impulse. No universal correlation for the present data was found, but linear relationships for changes in two experimental parameters were identified, suggesting that the existing correlations have some deficiencies when applied to stainless steel 304.

Abstract Taking into account the universal correlation of the force constants of halide bonds with their respective dissociation energies (excluding the fluorides), an internuclear potential energy function of the type V(r) = De (1-e-α(r-re))2 + β (1-δF,X) (r - re)2e-γ(r-re) has been proposed for the diatomic halides. α und β, in the latter are constants for a specific series, γ is determined from the rotational-vibrational constant αe, and the function reduces to the ordinary Morse potential function in the case of the fluorides. It, moreover, performs as well as the Hulburt-Hirschfelder 5-parameter function, and, unlike the latter, utilizes the anharmoni-city constant ωeXe as an internal check.
