Magnetocatalytic Adiabatic Spin Torque Orbital Transformations for Novel Chemical and Catalytic Reaction Dynamics: The Little Effect
In this manuscript the theory and phenomena associated with the Little Effect
are introduced as the spin induced orbital dynamics of confined fermions under
strong magnetic and thermal environments. This Little Effect is considered in
details for the electron transfer reactions associated with redox processes of
Cu-Ag alloy within deionized water and for the orbital dynamics during the iron
catalyzed covalent bond rearrangements associated with amorphous carbon
conversion to diamond. Furthermore, prolong extreme conditions of 74,000 amps,
403 V, strong Lorentz compression, and thermal stresses upon this Cu-Ag- H2O
system on the basis of the Little Effect of high spin, thermally induced
orbital dynamics are predicted and demonstrated to cause the magnetically
organized reverse beta, electron capture, proton capture and neutron capture
processes for various infrequent pycnonuclear transmutations within the Cu-Ag
coil. The general experimental verification and the broad implications of this
Little Effect on chemistry are demonstrated within these two ideal systems: an
ionic case and a molecular case. The Little Effect is contrasted with the
Hedvall Effect as a dynamical phenomenon causing the kinematics of the Hedvall
Effect. The compatibility of the Little Effect with the Woodward-Hoffmann Rule
is demonstrated. The Little Effect provides greater understanding of order in
systems far from equilibrium. The implications of the Little Effect for other
interesting phenomena such as ferromagnetism, unconventional magnetism,
superparamagnetism, superconductivity, and pycnonuclear effects are concluded
Stellar structure and compact objects before 1940: Towards relativistic astrophysics
Since the mid-1920s, different strands of research used stars as "physics
laboratories" for investigating the nature of matter under extreme densities
and pressures, impossible to realize on Earth. To trace this process this paper
is following the evolution of the concept of a dense core in stars, which was
important both for an understanding of stellar evolution and as a testing
ground for the fast-evolving field of nuclear physics. In spite of the divide
between physicists and astrophysicists, some key actors working in the
cross-fertilized soil of overlapping but different scientific cultures
formulated models and tentative theories that gradually evolved into more
realistic and structured astrophysical objects. These investigations culminated
in the first contact with general relativity in 1939, when J. Robert
Oppenheimer and his students George Volkoff and Hartland Snyder systematically
applied the theory to the dense core of a collapsing neutron star. This
pioneering application of Einstein's theory to an astrophysical compact object
can be regarded as a milestone in the path eventually leading to the emergence
of relativistic astrophysics in the early 1960s.Comment: 83 pages, 4 figures, submitted to the European Physical Journal
Explanation and Randomness
The aim of this paper is to elaborate a notion of explanation which is applicable to stochastic processes such as quantum processes. The model-theoretic approach was adopted in order to delimit appropriate classes, by defining set-theoretical predicates, of different kinds of physical transformations that quantum systems suffer, either of transitions or of transmutations, by interaction or in a spontaneous manner. To explain a singular quantum process consists in showing that it is feasible to model it as an indeterministic process of certain specified kind
Molar Behavior: Verbal and Nonverbal Behavior Related to Mind Processes without Vision
The objective of the research was to answer the
question: What kinds of processes prevail between
molar behavior (verbal and nonverbal) and mind
processes? Data were obtained from a videotaped
program where the participants had no possibilities
to see the stimuli. The number of the subjects was
40. Reliability of observation was assessed in two
ways; from the z-score based correlation matrix and
from the normalized vectors. The statistical
analysis comprised of state vectors of the mind
processes and the conditional matrix powered from 1
to 11. So the analysis was a stochastic process with
a regular matrix. The results indicated the
existence the process system with controls. The
mindamic evolves until the half of the process and
then reaches dynamic equilibrium. A surprise was a
fact; the shape mindition has a greater chance to
transmute into the experientally organized mindition.
So the question is not to fill-in the plain organized
mindition with experiental content. The fact a part
of the former researches showed. At the same time it
was necessary to develop novel concepts for molar
behavior that included both verbal and nonverbal
behaviors. Again the importance of the transmuter
emphasized as an execute
Transmutations of Ophelia\u27s Melodious Lay
There are multiple ways in which language and image share one another’s aesthetic message, such as traditional ekphrasis, which uses language to describe a work of art, or notional ekphrasis, which involves literature describing something that can be considered a work of art but does not physically exist at the time the description is written. However, these two terms are not inclusive to all artworks depicting literature or literature depicting artworks. Several scenes and characters from literature have been appropriated in art and the numerous paintings of Ophelia’s death as described by Gertrude in Hamlet, specifically Millais’ Ophelia, is the focus of this project. Throughout this thesis I analyze Gertrude’s account in three sections—the landscape, the body, and the voice—and compare it to its transmutation on the canvas
