Diffusion-limited deposition with dipolar interactions: fractal dimension and multifractal structure
Computer simulations are used to generate two-dimensional diffusion-limited
deposits of dipoles. The structure of these deposits is analyzed by measuring
some global quantities: the density of the deposit and the lateral correlation
function at a given height, the mean height of the upper surface for a given
number of deposited particles and the interfacial width at a given height.
Evidences are given that the fractal dimension of the deposits remains constant
as the deposition proceeds, independently of the dipolar strength. These same
deposits are used to obtain the growth probability measure through Monte Carlo
techniques. It is found that the distribution of growth probabilities obeys
multifractal scaling, i.e. it can be analyzed in terms of its
multifractal spectrum. For low dipolar strengths, the spectrum is
similar to that of diffusion-limited aggregation. Our results suggest that for
increasing dipolar strength both the minimal local growth exponent
and the information dimension decrease, while the fractal
dimension remains the same.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Diffusion-limited deposition of dipolar particles
Deposits of dipolar particles are investigated by means of extensive Monte
Carlo simulations. We found that the effect of the interactions is described by
an initial, non-universal, scaling regime characterized by orientationally
ordered deposits. In the dipolar regime, the order and geometry of the clusters
depend on the strength of the interactions and the magnetic properties are
tunable by controlling the growth conditions. At later stages, the growth is
dominated by thermal effects and the diffusion-limited universal regime
obtains, at finite temperatures. At low temperatures the crossover size
increases exponentially as T decreases and at T=0 only the dipolar regime is
observed.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
The modular method: Milkfish pond culture
The modular method of milkfish culture (Chanos chanos) described in the manual is an improvement over the traditional extensive method. The manual is intended for the use of fish farmers and aquaculturists, extensionists, and students of aquaculture not only in the Philippines, but also in other milkfish-producing countries in Southeast Asia and the world. It covers the following: Interesting facts about milkfish -- biological characteristics, artificial breeding of milkfish; Design and operation of modular pond system -- pond preparation, stocking in the nursery or transition ponds, stocking in the rearing ponds, care of stock, pond utilization and production schedule, harvest and post-harvest; and, Economics and costing
Mudcrab, Scylla spp, production in brackishwater ponds
This manual covers the specifics of grow-out operation — site selection, pond specification, pond preparation, source of juveniles, transport and stocking, care of pond and stock, feeds and feeding, harvest, postharvest.
Also includes costs-and-benefits analysis and a list of useful references.Mudcrab (Scylla spp) production in brackishwater ponds is now gaining popularity, especially in communities that need to supplement their income. The manual covers the following: Distribution; Grow-out operation in ponds - site selection, pond specification, pond preparation, source of juveniles, transport and stocking of juveniles, care of pond and stock, feeds and feeding, harvest, post-harvest; Production and profits; Cost and analysis. It is hoped that the manual will be of use to fishfarmers and aquaculturists, extensionists, and students of aquaculture not only in the Philippines but also in other mudcrab producing countries in Southeast Asia
