Besides a negligible rotation barrier, the reasonable rotational period associated with the ultra-soft rotation mode is a critical point for the observability of dynamical behavior in multi-layered molecular rotors.

Scalar–tensor theories of gravity can be formulated in the Einstein frame or in the Jordan frame (JF) which are related with each other by conformal transformations. Although the two frames describe the same physics and are equivalent, the stability of the field equations in the two frames is not the same. Here, we implement dynamical system and phase space approach as a robustness tool to investigate this issue. We concentrate on the Brans–Dicke theory in a Friedmann–Lemaitre–Robertson–Walker universe, but the results can easily be generalized. Our analysis shows that while there is a one-to-one correspondence between critical points in two frames and each critical point in one frame is mapped to its corresponds in another frame, however, stability of a critical point in one frame does not guarantee the stability in another frame. Hence, an unstable point in one frame may be mapped to a stable point in another frame. All trajectories between two critical points in phase space in one frame are different from their corresponding in other ones. This indicates that the dynamical behavior of variables and cosmological parameters is different in two frames. Hence, for those features of the study, which focus on observational measurements, we must use the JF where experimental data have their usual interpretation.

In this paper, the study of the dynamical behavior of logistic map has been disused with representing fractals graphics of map, the logistic map depends on two parameters and works in the complex plane, the map defined by f(z,α,β)=αz(1–z)β. where  and  are complex numbers, and β is a positive integers number, the visualization method used in this work to generate fractals of the map and to inspect the relation between the value of β and the shape of the map, this visualization analysis showed also that, as the value of β increasing, as the number of humps in the function also increasing, and it demonstrate that is true also for the function’s first iteration , f2(x0)=f(f(x0)) and the second iteration , f3(x0)=f(f2(x0)), beside that , the visualization technique showed that the number of humps in that fractal is less than the ones in the second iteration of the original function ,the study of the critical points and their properties of the logistic map also discussed it, whereas finding the fixed point led to find the critical point of the function f, in addition , it haven proven for the set of all pointsα∈C and β∈N, the iteration function f(f(z) has an attractive fixed points, and belongs to the region specified by the disc |1–β(α–1)|<1. Also, The discussion of the Mandelbrot set of the function defined by the f(f(z)) examined in complex plans using the path principle, such that the path of the critical point z=z0 is restricted, finally, it has proven that the Mandelbrot set f(z,α,β) contains all the attractive fixed points and all the complex numbers  in which α≤(1/β+1) (1/β+1) and the region containing the attractive fixed points for f2(z,α,β) was identified

The current study deals with the dynamical behavior of three cubic functions in the complex plane. Critical and fixed points of all of them were studied . Properties of every point were studied and the nature of them was determined if it is either attracting or repelling. First function  such that have two critical points  and three fixed points  such that is attracting when  is origin point As shown in figure (2).And  are attracting when  is the region specified by open disc  shown in figure (1.(c)).Second function  such that have two critical points   and three fixed points such that  is attracting when  and that its path is to the origin point as shown in figure (4).And  are attractive when  represents the open disc shown in the figure (3.(c)).Third function  such that  have one critical point  and three fixed points  is attracting that is path is the origin point and  are repelling as shown in figure (5). And all 2-cycles of  are repelling and unstable .   http://dx.doi.org/10.25130/tjps.24.2019.139

Liquid’s behaviour, when close to critical points, is of extreme importance both for fundamental research and industrial applications. A detailed knowledge of the structural–dynamical correlations in their proximity is still today a target to reach. Liquid water anomalies are ascribed to the presence of a second liquid–liquid critical point, which seems to be located in the very deep supercooled regime, even below 200 K and at pressure around 2 kbar. In this work, the thermal behaviour of the self-diffusion coefficient for liquid water is analyzed, in terms of a two-states model, for the first time in a very wide thermal region (126 K < T < 623 K), including those of the two critical points. Further, the corresponding configurational entropy and isobaric-specific heat have been evaluated within the same interval. The two liquid states correspond to high and low-density water local structures that play a primary role on water dynamical behavior over 500 K.

The advent of the scanning electron microscope (SCEM) has renewed interest in preparing specimens by avoiding the forces of surface tension. The present method of freeze drying by Boyde and Barger (1969) and Small and Marszalek (1969) does prevent surface tension but ice crystal formation and time required for pumping out the specimen to dryness has discouraged us. We believe an attractive alternative to freeze drying is the critical point method originated by Anderson (1951; for electron microscopy. He avoided surface tension effects during drying by first exchanging the specimen water with alcohol, amy L acetate and then with carbon dioxide. He then selected a specific temperature (36.5°C) and pressure (72 Atm.) at which carbon dioxide would pass from the liquid to the gaseous phase without the effect of surface tension This combination of temperature and, pressure is known as the "critical point" of the Liquid.

In attempting to use the SEM to investigate the transition from the vegetative to the floral state in oat (Avena sativa L.) it was discovered that the procedures of fixation and critical point drying (CPD), and fresh tissue examination of the specimens gave unsatisfactory results. In most cases, by using these techniques, cells of the tissue were collapsed or otherwise visibly distorted. Figure 1 shows the results of fixation with 4.5% formaldehyde-gluteraldehyde followed by CPD. Almost all cellular detail has been obscured by the resulting shrinkage distortions. The larger cracks seen on the left of the picture may be due to dissection damage, rather than CPD. The results of observation of fresh tissue are seen in Fig. 2. Although there is a substantial improvement over CPD, some cell collapse still occurs.Due to these difficulties, it was decided to experiment with cold stage techniques. The specimens to be observed were dissected out and attached to the sample stub using a carbon based conductive paint in acetone.

Three techniques were incorporated for drying clay-rich specimens: air-drying, freeze-drying and critical point drying. In air-drying, the specimens were set out for several days to dry or were placed in an oven (80°F) for several hours. The freeze-dried specimens were frozen by immersion in liquid nitrogen or in isopentane at near liquid nitrogen temperature and then were immediately placed in the freeze-dry vacuum chamber. The critical point specimens were molded in agar immediately after sampling. When the agar had set up the dehydration series, water-alcohol-amyl acetate-CO2 was carried out. The objectives were to compare the fabric plasmas (clays and precipitates), fabricskeletons (quartz grains) and the relationship between them for each drying technique. The three drying methods are not only applicable to the study of treated soils, but can be incorporated into all SEM clay soil studies.

The use of critical point drying is rapidly becoming a popular method of preparing biological samples for scanning electron microscopy. The procedure is rapid, and produces consistent results with a variety of samples. The preservation of surface details is much greater than that of air drying, and the procedure is less complicated than that of freeze drying. This paper will present results comparing conventional air-drying of plant specimens to critical point drying, both of fixed and unfixed material. The preservation of delicate structures which are easily damaged in processing and the use of filter paper as a vehicle for drying will be discussed.

Difflugia lobostoma is a shelled amoeba. The shell is an external structure of considerable mass which presents the animal with special restrictions in cell locomotion which are met by the development of active pseudopodial lobopodia containing, apparently, an organized system of thick and thin microfilaments (Eckert and McGee-Russell, 1972). The shell is constructed of sand grains picked up from the environment, and cemented into place with a secretion. There is a single opening through which lobopods extend. The organization of the shell was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Intact shells or animals with shells were dried by the critical point method of Anderson (1966) or air dried, after primary fixation in glutaraldehyde.
