Thinking that time and mass are correlated, like mass and energy are ( E =m*c^2 ). The period of oscillation of the simple oscillator, with a mass M andspring with coefficient k, is given by:T = 2*Pi*Sqrt(M/k); (1)orT ~ Sqrt(M); (2)

There are two general methods of measuring the elastic constants of bodies; one involves a study of the static deformation produced by the appropriate kind of stress, and the other a measurement of the period of oscillation of a system of known inertia under the elastic forces.

In a recent work, beating in the reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) intensity oscillations were observed during molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth of GaAs with Sn as a surfactant. The strength of beating is found to be dependent on the Sn submonolayer coverage with strong beating observed for 0.4 monolayer coverage. For a fixed temperature and flux ratio (Ga to As), the period of oscillation decreases with increasing Sn coverage. In this work, we have developed a rate equation model of growth to investigate this phenomenon. In our model, the GaAs covered by the Sn is assumed to grow at a faster rate compared to the GaAs not covered by Sn. Assuming that the electron beams reflected from the Sn covered surface and the rest of the surface are incoherent, the results of the dependence of the RHEED oscillations on Sn submonolayer coverages for various Sn coverages were obtained and compared with experimental data and the agreement is good.

A recurrent learning algorithm based on a finite difference discretization of continuous equations for neural networks is derived. This algorithm has the simplicity of discrete algorithms while retaining some essential characteristics of the continuous equations. In discrete networks learning smooth oscillations is difficult if the period of oscillation is too large. The network either grossly distorts the waveforms or is unable to learn at all. We show how the finite difference formulation can explain and overcome this problem. Formulas for learning time constants and time delays in this framework are also presented.

AbstractThe effect of varying magnetic field strength on the frequency of oscillatory motions for cellular multimode magnetoconvection has been investigated. In addition the influence of the thermal, viscous and magnetic diffusivities have been taken into account and the range of preferred horizontal scales established. The relationship between the period of oscillation and the magnetic field strength is determined.

The electronic structures of Co/Cu interface have been calculated by first-principles method based on local spin density approximation. Models 3 Co/xCu ( x =1-8 monolayers) with different Cu layer thickness are investigated. The results show that the oscillation of the density of states near the Fermi surface with the Cu spacer thickness has been observed and the period of oscillation is about 6 atom layers, which has a good agreement with the corresponding experiments. We also discuss the spin polarization and magnetic resistance with the change of Cu layers thickness. Further analysis shows majority spin states near the Fermi surface played a key role in giant magnetoresistance (GMR).

Abstract P, Vm , Tdata have been measured for the smectic, nematic and isotropic phases of 4'-n-octyl-biphen-yl-4-carbonitrile (8CB) in the temperature range 300-370 K and pressures up to 300 MPa. At atmospheric pressure all phase transitions appear to be of first order due to a discontinuity in the density. The volume change at the smectic A -nematic transition is only a tenth of the volume change at the clearing temperature. At moderate pressures below 80 MPa the SA -N transition could be detected as a discontinuity in the period of oscillation in measurements with a high-pressure vibrating tube densimeter. At higher pressures the discontinuity seems to die away, possibly indicating a change from first order to second order transition. From the volume changes and the slopes of the transition lines we calculate the enthalpy changes at the phase transition. The p, Vm , T data enable us to calculate the volume part of the entropy and the molecular field parameter γ=δln TNI/δln VNI .

Data, covering a range of pH and temperature, were obtained for the anodic oxidation of electropolished silver and the results compared with electrodes which had undergone repeated oxidation and reduction cycles. The behavior of the electrode is, in the main, complex, showing, for example, autopotential cycling under certain galvanostatic conditions (∼3 μA/cm2, 25 °C, 0.7 N NaOH), the period of oscillation being about [Formula: see text]. Several other hitherto unreported phenomena were also observed. The main conclusions reached are (i) that 2 different mechanisms are involved in the anodic formation of Ag2O on silver electrodes in basic electrolytes resulting in 2 types of film, 1 mechanism involves a dissolution–precipitation process, the other possibly a direct interfacial reaction; (ii) that the reduction of anodically formed Ag2O films either electrochemically or in hydrogen at 800 °C leaves behind a highly porous layer of silver metal; and (iii) that the limiting Ag2O film thickness is probably determined by a diffusion process occurring within the film.

Fenders are to be selected taking into account two quite distinct functions they have to fulfill: - During berthing manoeuvres fenders have to avoid damage to the ship and to the berthing structure; - After ships are already berthed and moored, fenders have to keep them quiet during loading and unloading operations. To fulfill the first function fenders have to be able, while deflecing, to absorb a very large amount of energy. To fulfill the second function fenders need to be able, while recovering their form, to dissipate a large amount of energy. Besides, they have to contribute to reduce or to increase the natural period of oscillation of already moored ships, depending on their tendency to oscillate in phase or out of phase with waves reaching the berths.
