On two questions about quaternion matrices
AbstractThis paper answers two questions proposed in [Fuzhen Zhang, Linear Algebra Appl. 251 (1997) 21–57], showing that there exists a 2×2 quaternion matrix with only two non-similar left eigenvalues that is not diagonalizable, and giving some necessary and sufficient conditions forAB−BA=0

New interaction potentials for borate glasses with mixed network formers.
We adapt and apply a recently developed optimization scheme used to obtain effective potentials for aluminosilicate glasses to include the network former boron into the interaction parameter set. As input data for the optimization, we used the radial distribution functions of the liquid at high temperature generated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations, and density, coordination, and elastic modulus of glass at room temperature from experiments. The new interaction potentials are shown to reliably reproduce the structure, coordination, and mechanical properties over a wide range of compositions for binary alkali borates. Furthermore, the transferability of these new interaction parameters allows mixing to reliably reproduce the properties of various boroaluminate and borosilicate glasses
History of the tether concept and tether missions: a review
This paper introduces history of space tethers, including tether concepts and tether missions, and attempts to provide a source of references for historical understanding of space tethers. Several concepts of space tethers since the original concept has been conceived are listed in the literature, as well as a summary of interesting applications, and a research of space tethers is given. With the aim of implementing scientific experiments in aerospace, several space tether missions which have been delivered for aerospace application are introduced in the literature.</jats:p
