Aerodynamic preliminary analysis system 2. Part 1: Theory
An aerodynamic analysis system based on potential theory at subsonic and/or supersonic speeds and impact type finite element solutions at hypersonic conditions is described. Three dimensional configurations having multiple nonplanar surfaces of arbitrary planform and bodies of noncircular contour may be analyzed. Static, rotary, and control longitudinal and lateral directional characteristics may be generated. The analysis was implemented on a time sharing system in conjunction with an input tablet digitizer and an interactive graphics input/output display and editing terminal to maximize its responsiveness to the preliminary analysis problem. The program provides an efficient analysis for systematically performing various aerodynamic configuration tradeoff and evaluation studies
Total Chiral Symmetry Breaking during Crystallization: Who needs a "Mother Crystal"?
Processes that can produce states of broken chiral symmetry are of particular
interest to physics, chemistry and biology. Chiral symmetry breaking during
crystallization of sodium chlorate occurs via the production of secondary
crystals of the same handedness from a single "mother crystal" that seeds the
solution. Here we report that a large and "symmetric" population of D- and
L-crystals moves into complete chiral purity disappearing one of the
enantiomers. This result shows: (i) a new symmetry breaking process
incompatible with the hypothesis of a single "mother crystal"; (ii) that
complete symmetry breaking and chiral purity can be achieved from an initial
system with both enantiomers. These findings demand a new explanation to the
process of total symmetry breaking in crystallization without the intervention
of a "mother crystal" and open the debate on this fascinating phenomenon. We
present arguments to show that our experimental data can been explained with a
new model of "complete chiral purity induced by nonlinear autocatalysis and
recycling".Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Added reference

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Linear-Chain Cobalt Oxide Sr5Pb3CoO12
The novel spin-chain cobalt oxide Sr5Pb3CoO12 [P-62m, a = 10.1093(2) A and c
= 3.562 51(9) A at 295 K] is reported. Polycrystalline sample of the compound
was studied by neutron diffraction (at 6 and 295 K) and magnetic susceptibility
measurements (5 to 390 K). The cobalt oxide was found to be analogous to the
copper oxide Sr5Pb3CoO12, which is comprised of magnetic-linear chains at
inter-chain distance of 10 A. Although the cobalt oxide chains (mu_eff of 3.64
mu_B per Co) are substantially antiferromagnetic (theta_W = -38.8 K), neither
low-dimensional magnetism nor long-range ordering has been found; a
local-structure disorder in the chains might impact on the magnetism. This
compound is highly electrically insulating.Comment: To be published in J. Solid State Che

Spin Gap of S=1/2 Heisenberg Model on Distorted Diamond Chain
We study the spin gap of the S=1/2 Heisenberg model on the distorted diamond
chain, which is recently proposed to represent magnetic properties of Cu_3 Cl_6
(H_2 O)_2 2H_8 C_4 SO_2. This model is composed of stacked trimers and has
three kinds of exchange interactions J_1, J_2 and J_3. Using the numerical
diagonalization, we obtain a contour map of the spin gap in the J_2/J_1-J_3/J_1
plane. We argue possible values of the exchange constants based on the contour
map and the observed value of the spin gap.Comment: 2 pages, 4 figure
A Reanalysis of the Hydrodynamic Theory of Fluid, Polar-Ordered Flocks
I reanalyze the hydrodynamic theory of fluid, polar ordered flocks. I find
new linear terms in the hydrodynamic equations which slightly modify the
anisotropy, but not the scaling, of the damping of sound modes. I also find
that the nonlinearities allowed {\it in equilibrium} do not stabilize long
ranged order in spatial dimensions ; in accord with the Mermin-Wagner
theorem. Nonequilibrium nonlinearities {\it do} stabilize long ranged order in
, as argued by earlier work. Some of these were missed by earlier work; it
is unclear whether or not they change the scaling exponents in .Comment: 6 pages, no figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Proportion Regulation in Globally Coupled Nonlinear Systems
As a model of proportion regulation in differentiation process of biological
system, globally coupled activator-inhibitor systems are studied. Formation and
destabilization of one and two cluster state are predicted analytically.
Numerical simulations show that the proportion of units of clusters is chosen
within a finite range and it is selected depend on the initial condition.Comment: 11 pages (revtex format) and 5 figures (PostScript)

Black hole solutions in 2+1 dimensions
We give circularly symmetric solutions for null fluid collapse in
2+1-dimensional Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant. The fluid
pressure and energy density are related by . The
long time limit of the solutions are black holes whose horizon structures
depend on the value of . The solution is the
Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole metric in the long time static limit,
while the solutions give other, `hairy' black hole metrics in this limit.Comment: 8 pages, RevTeX (to appear in Phys. Rev. D) References to Mann and
