The Superposition Principle of Waves Not Fulfilled under M. W. Evans' O(3) Hypothesis
In 1992 M.W. Evans proposed a so-called O(3) symmetry of electromagnetic
fields by adding a constant longitudinal "ghost field" to the well-known
transversal plane em waves. He considered this symmetry as a new law of
electromagnetics. Later on, since 2002, this O(3) symmetry became the center of
his Generally Covariant Unified Field Theory which he recently renamed as ECE
Theory. One of the best-checked laws of electrodynamics is the principle of
linear superposition of electromagnetic waves, manifesting itself in
interference phenomena. Its mathematical equivalent is the representation of
electric and magnetic fields as vectors. By considering the superposition of
two phase-shifted waves we show that the superposition principle is
incompatible with M.W. Evans' O(3) hypothesis.Comment: 5 pages, no figure

Investigation of Martian H2O and CO2 via gamma-ray spectroscopy
The evolution and present state of water and carbon dioxide on Mars are discussed. Researchers wished to determine how effectively questions regarding the distribution of water and carbon dioxide on Mars may be addressed with orbital gamma ray spectrometer data. Several simple, multi-layer models of the Martian surface were formulated to address problems such as the ice/dust ratio of layered deposits; the distribution, depth and concentration of ground ice; the thickness of north polar perennial ice; the thickness of the carbon dioxide layer over the south polar cap; the thickness of the seasonal carbon dioxide frost cap; and the water content of the seasonal frost cap. The results indicate that the Mars Observer gamma ray spectrometer will be a powerful tool for investigating the distribution and stratigraphy of volatiles on Mars
Status of Lattice QCD
Significant progress has recently been achieved in the lattice gauge theory
calculations required for extracting the fundamental parameters of the standard
model from experiment. Recent lattice determinations of such quantities as the
kaon parameter, the mass of the quark, and the strong coupling constant
have produced results and uncertainties as good or better than the best
conventional determinations. Many other calculations crucial to extracting the
fundamental parameters of the standard model from experimental data are
undergoing very active development. I review the status of such applications of
lattice QCD to standard model phenomenology, and discuss the prospects for the
near future.Comment: 20 pages, 8 embedded figures, uuencoded, 2 missing figures. (Talk

2D and 3D Dense-Fluid Shear Flows via Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics. Comparison of Time-and-Space-Averaged Tensor Temperature and Normal Stresses from Doll's, Sllod, and Boundary-Driven Shear Algorithms
Homogeneous shear flows (with constant strainrate du/dy) are generated with
the Doll's and Sllod algorithms and compared to corresponding inhomogeneous
boundary-driven flows. We use one-, two-, and three-dimensional smooth-particle
weight functions for computing instantaneous spatial averages. The nonlinear
stress differences are small, but significant, in both two and three space
dimensions. In homogeneous systems the sign and magnitude of the shearplane
stress difference, P(xx) - P(yy), depend on both the thermostat type and the
chosen shearflow algorithm. The Doll's and Sllod algorithms predict opposite
signs for this stress difference, with the Sllod approach definitely wrong, but
somewhat closer to the (boundary-driven) truth. Neither of the homogeneous
shear algorithms predicts the correct ordering of the kinetic temperatures,
T(xx) > T(zz) > T(yy).Comment: 34 pages with 12 figures, under consideration by Physical Review
Highly loaded multi-stage fan drive turbine: Leaned stator configuration design
The results of the high lift blade configuration design study are reported. The three-stage constant-inside-diameter turbine utilizes a ten degree tangentially leaned stator in stage three. All other bladerows use plain blades. Analysis of the leaned stator is discussed, and detailed design data are summarized. Steady-state stresses are discussed, and the results of the mechanical design analysis are presented
Stability of some epoxy-encapsulated diode thermometers
The stability upon thermal cycling and handling of ten small, epoxy-encapsulated silicon diode thermometers at six temperatures in the range from liquid nitrogen temperatures to about 60 C. The nominal temperatures of measurement were -196, -78, 0, 20, 40, and 60 C, as measured on the International Practical Temperature Scale of 1968. Diodes were to be thermally cycled 15 to 20 times. Since NASA anticipates that the uncertainty in their temperature measurements will be + or - 50 mK, uncertainties as large as + or - 10 mK in the measurements of the evaluaton can be accommodated without deleteriously affecting the value of the results of the investigation
