AbstractThe distribution of Fe3+-kaolinite, Al-goethite and Al-hematite and their contents of Fe and Al in bauxites and ferricretes are controlled by water activity, dissolved silica activity, temperature and particle size. The proposed model, based on ideal solid-solution equilibria in the Fe2O3-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system, takes into account water and silica activities. By using the same considerations as those previously developed for the Fe2O3-Al2O3-H2O system, the model calculates the amounts of coexisting phases, Al or Fe substitution ratios in goethite, hematite or kaolinite, and the stability field distributions of the minerals under various conditions. Thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and element distributions within the mineral constituents are shown to be dependent on the parameters cited above. The model yields results compatible with natural observations on lateritic profiles.

Abstract Talc and 10-Å phase are hydrous phases that are implicated in fluid processes and rheological behaviour in subduction zones. Natural samples of talc show limited compositional variation away from the MgO–SiO2–H2O (MSH) endmember, with only substitution of Fe2+ for Mg occurring in significant amounts. In experiments at 2 GPa, talc containing 0.48 apfu Fe2+ begins to break down in the divariant field talc + anthophyllite + quartz at ~ 550 °C, a temperature ~ 270 °C lower than in the MSH system. At 4 GPa, Fe-bearing talc breaks down over a wide temperature interval in the divariant field talc + enstatite + coesite. The large decrease in temperature of the beginning of talc breakdown shows that Fe2+ is partitioned strongly into enstatite and anthophyllite with respect to talc. In phase reversal experiments at 6.5 GPa, the beginning of the dehydration of 10-Å phase containing 0.48 apfu Fe2+ was bracketed between 575 °C and 600 °C, a temperature ~ 100 °C lower than the MSH endmember reaction. The relative positions of the talc and 10-Å phase dehydration reactions indicate that the latter is able to accommodate greater Fe substitution, and is, therefore, more stable in Fe-bearing systems. In experiments at 6.2 GPa, 650 °C in the systems MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O (MASH) and Na2O–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O (NMASH), 10-Å phase was synthesised that contains up to 0.5 apfu Al in the system MASH (compared to 0.8 in the starting material) and up to 0.4 apfu Al + 0.4 apfu Na in the system NMASH (compared to 0.7 of each of Al and Na in the starting material). Further experiments are required to determine if higher Al and Na contents in 10-Å phase are possible. The much higher Al and Na contents than found in talc indicate that, as with Fe, substitution of these elements enlarges the 10-Å phase stability field with respect to talc. In contrast to the effect of Fe, Al and Na also increase the stability of 10-Å phase relative to its thermal breakdown products enstatite + coesite.

AbstractThe dependence of the creation and the annealing of metastable dangling bonds in hydrogenated amorphous silicon on various material parameters will be discussed in the context of a recently proposed model. After a brief review of the kinetic behaviour governing defect creation and annealing in undoped a- Si:H, a number of special cases will be analyzed: the influence of alloying with O, N, C, and Ge, changes introduced by doping and compensation, and the role of mechanical stress. Finally, possibilities to increase the stability of a-Si:H based devices will be examined.

Interaction Problem

In this paper, a new third-order approximation model for an acoustic-structure interaction problem is introduced. The new approximation model is designed to be an accurate and a stable model for predicting the response of a submerged structure. The proposed model is obtained by combining two lower order approximation models instead of using an operator matching method. The stability of this model is checked by a modal analysis. Finally, the approximation model is coupled to the spherical shell structure, and its performance is checked by a shock analysis.

Eclogite occurring in central Yukon, at Faro and near Last Peak, as lenses interleaved with muscovite–quartz blastomylonite has the chemical and field characteristics of group C rocks. From sigmoidal inclusion trails in garnet, from geothermometry and geobarometry, and from mineral parageneses, the eclogite is inferred to have a crustal protolith and to have followed a hysteretic, subduction-cycle P–T trajectory. Transformation of basic igneous rock into schist was followed by eclogite metamorphism during which pressure was at least 1000 MPa and temperature was between 600 and 700 °C. Uplifting involved passage through the stability field of glaucophane; the eclogite and its host rocks were then subjected to greenschist fades metamorphism and deformation, with temperature at approximately 400 °C. The rocks were emplaced as thrust sheets against or onto the western North American cratonal margin. The tectonic boundary ranges from nearly vertical, where it is outlined by a zone of steeply dipping mélange, to nearly horizontal beneath klippen of cataclastic rocks that lie on North American miogeoclinal strata. Together with occurrences of eclogite on strike, in Yukon, near Fairbanks (Alaska), and near Pinchi Lake (British Columbia), eclogite at Faro and near Last Peak implies that the Yukon Cataclastic Complex is a deeply eroded collision mélange that borders over 1000 km of the ancient continental margin.

Theoretical Results

An extended optimal velocity (OV) difference model is proposed in a cooperative driving system by considering multiple OV differences. The stability condition of the proposed model is obtained by applying the linear stability theory. The results show that the increase in number of cars that precede and their OV differences lead to the more stable traffic flow. The Burgers, Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified Korteweg–de Vries (mKdV) equations are derived to describe the density waves in the stable, metastable and unstable regions, respectively. To verify these theoretical results, the numerical simulation is carried out. The theoretical and numerical results show that the stabilization of traffic flow is enhanced by considering multiple OV differences. The traffic jams can be suppressed by taking more information of cars ahead.

The Stability

The room temperature electrocaloric effect is researched for (110) oriented KNbO3 film based on Landau-Devonshire theory. The phase map with different ferroelectric states is built at room temperature with the considerations of thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and minimum of thermodynamic potential. Five ferroelectric structural phases are obtained theoretically. The negative in-plane misfit strains are conducive to form the tetragonal c phase and the positive strains are in favor of the stability of tetragonal a1 and a2 phases. The electrocaloric effect relies on both misfit strain and electric field. Moreover, large electrocaloric effect is achieved in the orthorhombic phases.

The effect of pressure on the helix-coil transition temperature (Tm) is reported for the double-stranded polymers poly(dA)poly(dT), poly[d(A-T)], poly[d(l-C], and poly[d(G-C] and triple-stranded poly(dA)2poly(dT). The Tm increases as a function of pressure, implying a positive volume change for the transition and leading to the conclusion that the molar volume of the coil form is larger than the molar volume of the helix. From the change in Tm as a function of pressure, molar volume changes of the transition (ΔVt) are calculated using the Clapeyron equation and calorimetrically determined enthalpies. For the doublestranded polymers, ΔVt, increases in the order poly[d(l-C] < polyt[d(A-T)] < poly(dA)-poly(dT) < polylcl(G-C)]. The value of ΔVt, for the triple-stranded to single-stranded transition of poly(dA) 2poly(dT) is larger than that of poly[d(G-C)I. The magnitude of ΔVt increases with salt concentration in all cases studied; however, the change of ΔVt with salt concentration depends on the sequence of the DNA and the number of strands involved in the transition. In the model proposed to explain the results, the overall molar volume change of the transition is a function of a negative volume change arising from changes in the electrostatic interactions of the DNA strands, and a positive volume change due to unstacking the bases. The model predicted the direction of the change in the ΔVt for several experiments. The magnitude of AVJ increases with counter ion radius, thus for polyld(A-T)], ΔVt, increases in the series Na+ , K+, Cs+, The ΔVt also increases if the charge on the phosphodiester groups is removed. The kinetics of the formation of double-stranded (dA)19(dT)19 in 50 mM NaCI are slowed approximately 14-fold at 200 MPa relative to atmospheric pressure. The implied volume of activation of +37 ml mol−l in the direction of this change is also in agreement with the proposed model. The stability of double- and triple-stranded DNA helices in water around neutral pH depends on the base composition and sequence, as well as on the ionic strength of the solution. Each of these dependencies also defines how DNA interacts with water.

Telecommunication network infrastructures both stationary and ad hoc, play an important role in maintaining the stability of society worldwide. The protection of these critical infrastructures and their supporting structures become highly challenged due to its complexity. The understanding of interdependency of these infrastructures is the essential step to protect these infrastructures from destruction and attacks. This paper presents a critical infrastructure detection model to discover the interdependency based on the theories from social networks and new telecommunication pathways while this study transforms social theory into computational constructions. The procedure and solution of protecting critical infrastructures are discussed and computational results from the proposed model are presented.
