    Non-Boltzmann classical correction to the velocity auto-correlation function for isotropic scattering in two dimensions

    Full text link
    The classical correction to the velocity auto-correlation function of non-interacting particles due to memory effects, which are beyond the Boltzmann equation, is calculated both analytically and numerically for the case of isotropic scattering in two dimensions.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure

    Measurements of the Influence of Acceleration and Temperature of Bodies on their Weight

    Full text link
    A brief review of experimental research of the influence of acceleration and temperatures of test mass upon gravitation force, executed between the 1990s and the beginning of 2000 is provided.Results of weighing a rotor of a mechanical gyroscope with a horizontal axis, an anisotropic crystal with the big difference of the speed of longitudinal acoustic waves, measurements of temperature dependence of weight of metal bars of non-magnetic materials, and also measurement of restitution coefficients at quasi-elastic impact of a steel ball about a massive plate are given. A negative temperature dependence of the weight of a brass core was measured. All observably experimental effects, have probably a general physical reason connected with the weight change dependent upon acceleration of a body or at thermal movement of its microparticles.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures.

    Most existing materials may not satisfy all the fundamental requirements of modern civilization. This chapter summarizes the latest advances in the study of hybrid graphene nanocomposites and their application as thermal interface materials and some functional energy materials, in particular, for thermal management of energy and electronic devices. The main properties of hybrid graphene nanocomposites are described. The main attention is paid to the thermal properties of such materials, in particular, thermal conductivity and the possibilities of its growth due to various changes in the morphology and other properties of nanocomposites. The technology of obtaining a new nanocomposite based on mesoscopic microspheres, polymers, and graphene flakes is considered

    We study a class of two-dimensional compact extra spaces isomorphic to the sphere S2S^2 in the framework of multidimensional gravitation. We show that there exists a family of stationary metrics that depend on the initial (boundary) conditions. All these geometries have a singular point. We also discuss the possibility for these deformed extra spaces to be considered as dark matter candidates.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; Proceedings of the Conference of Fundamental Research and Particle Physics, 18-20 February 2015, Moscow, Russian Federatio
