A theoretical analysis of the infrared absorption band wings is presented. The wing shape is expressed in terms of the spectral density of rotational perturbations experienced by absorbing molecules in moderately dense gases. The developed formalism is applied to the absorption in the high-frequency wing of the ν3 CO2 band. Analytical approximation of the experimental rotational perturbation densities is used to deduce the rotational relaxation parameters as well as the mean square torques, which provide information on the short-range anisotropic intermolecular interactions.

With the aid of classical statistical mechanics, a general expression for the static dielectric constant is derived. It is found, as in earlier work, that the dielectric constant is dependent upon the mean-square dipole moment of a macroscopic spherical sample of the substance. This mean-square moment is expanded as a series in powers of the mean molecular polarizability, and the terms proportional to the zero and first powers are evaluated in detail and in such a way that the long- and the short-range effects are separated. The former are determined with the aid of macroscopic arguments, so that a purely molecular theory remains. In the limit when short-range directional forces are zero, the formula reduces to the well-known Onsager equation. It is found that it is not in general legitimate to replace the surroundings of a macroscopic sample by a continuum having the bulk properties of the substance, and for this reason the approximate equation of Harris & Alder is found to lead to doubtful conclusions. The general equations are applied to the experimental data for water and other liquids, and the results are not unsatisfactory.

In many plasmas, the electron temperature is so high compared to the ion temperature that the electrons may be treated as a "collsionless" medium. Often, however, the mean free path for the ions is so small that the motion of these particles is dominated by the short-range "collisional" forces. Assuming a hydrodynamical model for the ions and rarefied conditions for the electrons, we discuss in this paper the linearized collective modes of such semicontinuous plasmas.The high-frequency oscillations are practically identical with those obtained in the rarefied theory (Frood 1963a), but for very long wavelengths the Landau (or electronic) contribution to the optical damping is negligible compared with the viscous (or ionic) damping. Similarly, for the acoustic modes the speed of sound is practically the same as in the rarefied case, but even at fairly short wavelengths the viscous contribution to the sonic damping outweighs the collisionless contribution.Comparison of the theories of acoustic damping in semicontinuous and rarefied plasmas indicates a convenient means of determining to what extent a plasma is behaving in a collision-free or a collision-dominated manner. Recent experiments at Princeton—performed simultaneously with, but independently of, the present theoretical predictions (Frood 1963b)—have done much to verify this contention.

In spite of important delays in the initial planning, the full automation of the Bordeaux meridian circle is progressing well and will be ready for regular observations by the middle of the next year. It is expected that the mean square error for one observation will be about ±0.”10 in the two coordinates for declinations up to 87°.

The question of calculating the limiting values of residuals in geodesic constructions is considered in the case when the limiting value for measurement errors is assumed equal to 3m, ie ∆рred = 3m, where m is the mean square error of the measurement. Larger errors are rejected. At present, the limiting value for the residual is calculated by the formula 3m√n, where n is the number of measurements. The article draws attention to two contradictions between theory and practice arising from the use of this formula. First, the formula is derived from the classical law of the normal Gaussian distribution, and it is applied to the truncated law of the normal distribution. And, secondly, as shown in [1], when ∆рred = 2m, the sums of errors naturally take the value equal to ?pred, after which the number of errors in the sum starts anew. This article establishes its validity for ∆рred = 3m. A table of comparative values of the tolerances valid and recommended for more stringent ones is given. The article gives a graph of applied and recommended tolerances for ∆рred = 3m.

AbstractFunctional electrical stimulation (FES) has been used to produce force-related activities on the paralyzed muscle among spinal cord injury (SCI) individuals. Early muscle fatigue is an issue in all FES applications. If not properly monitored, overstimulation can occur, which can lead to muscle damage. A real-time mechanomyography (MMG)-based FES system was implemented on the quadriceps muscles of three individuals with SCI to generate an isometric force on both legs. Three threshold drop levels of MMG-root mean square (MMG-RMS) feature (thr50, thr60, and thr70; representing 50%, 60%, and 70% drop from initial MMG-RMS values, respectively) were used to terminate the stimulation session. The mean stimulation time increased when the MMG-RMS drop threshold increased (thr50: 22.7 s, thr60: 25.7 s, and thr70: 27.3 s), indicating longer sessions when lower performance drop was allowed. Moreover, at thr70, the torque dropped below 50% from the initial value in 14 trials, more than at thr50 and thr60. This is a clear indication of muscle fatigue detection using the MMG-RMS value. The stimulation time at thr70 was significantly longer (p = 0.013) than that at thr50. The results demonstrated that a real-time MMG-based FES monitoring system has the potential to prevent the onset of critical muscle fatigue in individuals with SCI in prolonged FES sessions.

The speed of drilling has a great relationship with the rock breaking efficiency of the bit. Based on the above background, the purpose of this article is to predict the position of shallow bit based on the vibration signal monitoring of bit broken rock. In this article, first, the mechanical research of drill string is carried out; the basic changes of the main mechanical parameters such as the axial force, torque, and bending moment of drill string are clarified; and the dynamic equilibrium equation theory of drill string system is analyzed. According to the similarity criterion, the corresponding relationship between drilling process parameters and laboratory test conditions is determined. Then, the position monitoring test system of the vibration bit is established. The acoustic emission signal and the drilling force signal of the different positions of the bit in the process of vibration rock breaking are collected synchronously by the acoustic emission sensor and the piezoelectric force sensor. Then, the denoised acoustic emission signal and drilling force signal are analyzed and processed. The mean value, variance, and mean square value of the signal are calculated in the time domain. The power spectrum of the signal is analyzed in the frequency domain. The signal is decomposed by wavelet in the time and frequency domains, and the wavelet energy coefficients of each frequency band are extracted. Through the wavelet energy coefficient calculated by the model, combined with the mean, variance, and mean square error of time-domain signal, the position of shallow buried bit can be analyzed and predicted. Finally, by fitting the results of indoor experiment and simulation experiment, it can be seen that the stress–strain curve of rock failure is basically the same, and the error is about 3.5%, which verifies the accuracy of the model.

AbstractIn this paper, it is shown that the performance of various frequency-domain estimators of the memory parameter can be boosted by the inclusion of non-Fourier frequencies in addition to the regular Fourier frequencies. A fast two-stage algorithm for the efficient computation of the amplitudes at these additional frequencies is presented. In the first stage, the naïve sine and cosine transforms are computed with a modified version of the Fast Fourier Transform. In the second stage, these transforms are amended by taking the violation of the standard orthogonality conditions into account. A considerable number of auxiliary quantities, which are required in the second stage, do not depend on the data and therefore only need to be computed once. The superior performance (in terms of root-mean-square error) of the estimators based also on non-Fourier frequencies is demonstrated by extensive simulations. Finally, the empirical results obtained by applying these estimators to financial high-frequency data show that significant long-range dependence is present only in the absolute intraday returns but not in the signed intraday returns.
