The effect of fluorine on viscosities in the system Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2: implications for phonolites, trachytes and rhyolites
The effect of fluorine on melt viscosities of five compositions in the system Na2O-Al2O3-
SiO2h as been investigateda t one atmospherea nd 1000-1600'Cb y concentric-cylinder
viscometry. The compositions chosen were albite, jadeite and nepheline on the join
NaAlOlSiO2 and two others of the join at 75 mole percent SiO2, one peralkaline and one
peraluminous. All melt viscosities were independent of shear rate over two orders of
magnitude, indicating Newtonian behavior. All viscosity-temperature relationships were
Arrhenian within error. Fluorine reduces the viscosities and activation energies of all melts
investigated. The viscosity-reducing power of fluorine increases with the SiO2 content of
melts on the join NaAlO2-SiO2 and is a maximum at Na/Al (molar) = I for melts containing
75 mole percent SiO2. Fluorine and water have similar effects on aluminosilicate melt
viscosities, probably due to depolymerization of these melts by replacement of Si-O-(Si,
Al) bridges with Si-OH and Si-F bonds, respectively. Evidence from slag systems shows
that fluorine also reduces the viscosity of depolymerized silicate melts. The viscous flow of
phonolites, trachytes and rhyolites will be strongly afected by fluorine. It appears that
fluorine contents of igneous rocks may be combined with water in calculation schemes for
determining the viscosity of natural melts
Untangling the socio-political knots: A systems view on Indonesia's inclusive energy transitions
National energy transitions face complex socio-political challenges, ranging from inertia to exacerbated inequalities. There are limited studies investigating these dimensions, especially in developing economies. This paper presents Indonesia, a country with high fossil fuel dependency, as a valuable case study to investigate the societal interplay affecting transitions. Interviews and literature analyses were conducted to assess barriers and levers to success. The findings are further analysed with systems thinking (ST), highlighting dynamic patterns and interdependencies. It is found that conflicting interests, inconsistent regulation, and low capability at the implementation level are among the most persistent barriers creating disparities between intentions and reality. These leave some groups disproportionately disadvantaged; notably, regions with fossil fuel-dependent income, informal sectors, and indigenous and local communities. Recommendations include the creation of an independent agency for the energy transition, and empowering regional participation. Addressing inclusion is imperative for social justice as well as to ensure adoptability and acceptance from all

Heat capacity uncovers physics of a frustrated spin tube
We report on refined experimental results concerning the low-temperature
specific heat of the frustrated spin tube material [(CuCl2tachH)3Cl]Cl2. This
substance turns out to be an unusually perfect spin tube system which allows to
study the physics of quasi-one dimensional antiferromagnetic structures in
rather general terms. An analysis of the specific heat data demonstrates that
at low enough temperatures the system exhibits a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid
behavior corresponding to an effective spin-3/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg
chain with short-range exchange interactions. On the other hand, at somewhat
elevated temperatures the composite spin structure of the chain is revealed
through a Schottky-type peak in the specific heat located around 2 K. We argue
that the dominating contribution to the peak originates from gapped magnon-type
excitations related to the internal degrees of freedom of the rung spins.Comment: 4+ pages, 6 figure
Study of Cronin effect and nuclear modification of strange particles in d-Au and Au-Au collisions at 200 GeV in PHENIX
Effects of strangeness on nuclear modification in d-Au and Au-Au collisions
at 200 GeV are studied, in order to quantify the effects of quark content and
mass. Measurements of ratios of the yields in central collisions to the yields
in peripheral collisions are performed for lambda baryon and phi meson. Found
results show little dependence of particle suppression or enhancement on mass
and strange content, but rather prominent difference in nuclear modification
between mesons and baryons.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, proceedings of the Seventeenth International

Integrated digital/electric aircraft concepts study
The integrated digital/electrical aircraft (IDEA) is an aircraft concept which employs all electric secondary power systems and advanced digital flight control systems. After trade analysis, preferred systems were applied to the baseline configuration. An additional configuration, the alternate IDEA, was also considered. For this concept the design ground rules were relaxed in order to quantify additional synergistic benefits. It was proposed that an IDEA configuration and technical risks associated with the IDEA systems concepts be defined and the research and development required activities to reduce these risks be identified. The selected subsystems include: power generation, power distribution, actuators, environmental control system and flight controls systems. When the aircraft was resized, block fuel was predicted to decrease by 11.3 percent, with 7.9 percent decrease in direct operating cost. The alternate IDEA shows a further 3.4 percent reduction in block fuel and 3.1 percent reduction in direct operating cost
Fragmentation or Recombination at High p_T?
All hadronization processes, including fragmentation, are shown to proceed
through recombination. The shower partons in a jet turn out to play an
important role in describing the p_T spectra of hadrons produced in heavy-ion
collisions. Due to the recombination of the shower partons with the soft
thermal partons, the structure of jets produced in AA collisions is not the
same as that of jets produced in pp collisions.Comment: Talk given at Quark Matter 200
