Borated graphite cathodes for low-temperature aluminum electrolysis

Electrochemical boriding of the graphite plates in the potassium cryolite based electrolytes was studied. The boriding were carried out in a cell with vertical electrodes. The procedure included 2 stages: 1) electrolysis in the KF–AlF3–KBF4 melt (CR=1.3) at low current density (0.01–0.02 A/cm2), required for the boron reduction, at 700 and 750 °C; 2) electrolysis in the KF–AlF3–Al2O3 melt at higher current density (0.2 A/cm2), required for the aluminum reduction. The optimal conditions of electrodeposition for obtaining the borated wettable cathodes were determined. According to the SEM data, a continuous AlB2 layer with a thickness of 7–10 μm was formed on the graphite surface. The borated graphite was tested as a wetted cathode during the low-temperature aluminum electrolysis. Prolonged electrolysis in a vertical cell with the graphite anode and the borated graphite cathode was carried out in the KF–NaF(10 wt.%)–AlF3–Al2O3 electrolyte (CR=1.5) at 830 °C. After 100 h of electrolysis, the thickness of the AlB2 layer on the graphite surface was 5 μm, while the cathode surface was completely wetted with aluminum. Thus, we demonstrated the feasibility of using the borated graphite cathode as a wettable dripping cathode in the low-temperature aluminum electrolysis in the vertical cell

Twist-3 distribution amplitudes of scalar mesons from QCD sum rules

We study the twist-3 distribution amplitudes for scalar mesons made up of two valence quarks based on QCD sum rules. By choosing the proper correlation functions, we derive the moments of the scalar mesons up to the first two order. Making use of these moments, we then calculate the first two Gegenbauer coefficients for twist-3 distribution amplitudes of scalar mesons. It is found that the second Gegenbauer coefficients of scalar density twist-3 distribution amplitudes for $K^{*}_0$ and $f_0$ mesons are quite close to that for $a_0$, which indicates that the SU(3) symmetry breaking effect is tiny here. However, this effect could not be neglected for the forth Gegenbauer coefficients of scalar twist-3 distribution amplitudes between $a_0$ and $f_0$. Besides, we also observe that the first two Gegenbauer coefficients corresponding to the tensor current twist-3 distribution amplitudes for all the $a_0$, $K^{*}_0$ and $f_0$ are very small. The renormalization group evolution of condensates, quark masses, decay constants and moments are considered in our calculations. As a byproduct, it is found that the masses for isospin I=1, ${1 \over 2}$ scalar mesons are around $1.27 \sim 1.41$ GeV and $1.44 \sim 1.56$ GeV respectively, while the mass for isospin state composed of $\bar{s} s$ is $1.62 \sim 1.73$ GeV.Comment: replaced with revised version, to be published in Phys.

Event-driven simulation of the state institution activity for the service provision based on business processes

The paper presents an approach, based on business processes, assessment and control of the state of the state institution, the social insurance Fund. The paper describes the application of business processes, such as items with clear measurable parameters that need to be determined, controlled and changed for management. The example of one of the business processes of the state institutions, which shows the ability to solve management tasks, is given. The authors of the paper demonstrate the possibility of applying the mathematical apparatus of imitative simulation for solving management tasks

FTIR spectra and conformations of 2′-deoxyuridine in Kr matrices

The Fourier transform infrared spectra in the range 4000–200 cm⁻¹ of pyrimidine nucleoside 2'-deoxyuridine (dU) have been obtained in the low temperature inert Kr matrices. For the first time, instead of a usual flat mirror, a low temperature one-coordinate retroreflector was used as the matrix substrate. Owing to this, the matrix setup is insensitive to dip angle vibrations of the cryostat and is favourable to work with thinner matrix layers. Of two syn-conformers with dU_s1 and dU_s2 (stabilized by the intramolecular hydrogen bond O5'H…O2), only dT_s2 conformer with C2'-endo structure of the ribose ring was uniquely quenched. The height of the interconversion barrier of the minor syn-conformer dU_s1 was estimated to be below 0.7 kcal/mole. It was shown that the energy relaxation of impurities in Kr is slower than in Ar matrices

A Review of Target Mass Corrections

With recent advances in the precision of inclusive lepton--nuclear scattering experiments, it has become apparent that comparable improvements are needed in the accuracy of the theoretical analysis tools. In particular, when extracting parton distribution functions in the large-x region, it is crucial to correct the data for effects associated with the nonzero mass of the target. We present here a comprehensive review of these target mass corrections (TMC) to structure functions data, summarizing the relevant formulas for TMCs in electromagnetic and weak processes. We include a full analysis of both hadronic and partonic masses, and trace how these effects appear in the operator product expansion and the factorized parton model formalism, as well as their limitations when applied to data in the x->1 limit. We evaluate the numerical effects of TMCs on various structure functions, and compare fits to data with and without these corrections.Comment: 41 pages, 13 figures; minor updates to match published versio

Analytic and "frozen" QCD coupling constants up to NNLO from DIS data

Deep inelastic scattering data on the F_2 structure function provided by the BCDMS, SLAC and NMC collaborations are analyzed in the non-singlet approximation with the analytic and "frozen" modifications of the strong coupling constant featuring no unphysical singularity (the Landau pole). Improvement of agreement between theory and experiment, with respect to the case of the standard perturbative definition of alpha_s considered recently, is observed and the behavior of the higher twist terms in the next-to-next-to-leading-order is found to be confirming earlier studies on the subject.Comment: 22 pp, 8 fig

QCD sum rules and radial excitaions of light pseudoscalar and scalar mesons

The calculations of masses and decay constants of the radial excitations of light pseudoscalar and scalar mesons within QCD sum rules method are briefly reviewed. The predictions are based on the $1/N_c$-supported model spectra, which consist of infinite number of infinitely narrow resonances, and on the assumption that the ground states of light scalar mesons may be considered as the $\bar{q}q$-bound states. The results of the studies are compared with the existing experimental data and with the predictions of other theoretical approaches.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, to be published in Phys.Atom.Nucl.

Pade Approximants, Optimal Renormalization Scales, and Momentum Flow in Feynman Diagrams

We show that the Pade Approximant (PA) approach for resummation of perturbative series in QCD provides a systematic method for approximating the flow of momentum in Feynman diagrams. In the large-$\beta_0$ limit, diagonal PA's generalize the Brodsky-Lepage-Mackenzie (BLM) scale-setting method to higher orders in a renormalization scale- and scheme-invariant manner, using multiple scales that represent Neubert's concept of the distribution of momentum flow through a virtual gluon. If the distribution is non-negative, the PA's have only real roots, and approximate the distribution function by a sum of delta-functions, whose locations and weights are identical to the optimal choice provided by the Gaussian quadrature method for numerical integration. We show how the first few coefficients in a perturbative series can set rigorous bounds on the all-order momentum distribution function, if it is positive. We illustrate the method with the vacuum polarization function and the Bjorken sum rule computed in the large-$\beta_0$ limit.Comment: 28 pages, LaTeX, including 6 figures requires epsfig.st

Magnetic field induced polarization effects in intrinsically granular superconductors

Based on the previously suggested model of nanoscale dislocations induced Josephson junctions and their arrays, we study the magnetic field induced electric polarization effects in intrinsically granular superconductors. In addition to a new phenomenon of chemomagnetoelectricity, the model predicts also a few other interesting effects, including charge analogues of Meissner paramagnetism (at low fields) and "fishtail" anomaly (at high fields). The conditions under which these effects can be experimentally measured in non-stoichiometric high-T_c superconductors are discussed.Comment: 10 pages (REVTEX), 5 EPS figures; revised version accepted for publication in JET
