Decay of weak turbulence
Weak turbulence fields generated by single and multiple stage grids covering Reynolds numbers between 7 and 70 showing decay of energy spectr
From insulator to quantum Hall liquid at low magnetic fields
We have performed low-temperature transport measurements on a GaAs
two-dimensional electron system at low magnetic fields. Multiple
temperature-independent points and accompanying oscillations are observed in
the longitudinal resistivity between the low-field insulator and the quantum
Hall (QH) liquid. Our results support the existence of an intermediate regime,
where the amplitudes of magneto-oscillations can be well described by
conventional Shubnikov-de Haas theory, between the low-field insulator and QH
liquid.Comment: Magneto-oscillations governed by Shubnikov-de Haas theory are
observed between the low-field insulator and quantum Hall liqui
Fatigue failure of materials under broad band random vibrations
The fatigue life of material under multifactor influence of broad band random excitations has been investigated. Parameters which affect the fatigue life are postulated to be peak stress, variance of stress and the natural frequency of the system. Experimental data were processed by the hybrid computer. Based on the experimental results and regression analysis a best predicting model has been found. All values of the experimental fatigue lives are within the 95% confidence intervals of the predicting equation
Apollo gastrointestinal analysis
Fecal bile acid patterns for the Apollo 17 flight were studied to determine the cause of diarrhea on the mission. The fecal sterol analysis gave no indication of an infectious diarrhea, or specific, or nonspecific etiology occurring during the entire flight. It is assumed that the gastrointestinal problems encountered are the consequences of altered physiology, perhaps secondary to physical or emotional stress of flight
