Improved alkaline electrochemical cell

Addition of lead ions to electrolyte suppresses zinc dendrite formation during charging cycle. A soluble lead salt can be added directly or metallic lead can be incorporated in the zinc electrode and allowed to dissolve into the electrolyte

Dark energy records in lensed cosmic microwave background

We consider the weak lensing effect induced by linear cosmological perturbations on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization anisotropies. We find that the amplitude of the lensing peak in the BB mode power spectrum is a faithful tracer of the dark energy dynamics at the onset of cosmic acceleration. This is due to two reasons. First, the lensing power is non-zero only at intermediate redshifts between the observer and the source, keeping record of the linear perturbation growth rate at the corresponding epoch. Second, the BB lensing signal is expected to dominate over the other sources. The lensing distortion on the TT and EE spectra do exhibit a similar dependence on the dark energy dynamics, although those are dominated by primary anisotropies. We investigate and quantify the effect by means of exact tracking quintessence models, as well as parameterizing the dark energy equation of state in terms of the present value ($w_{0}$) and its asymptotic value in the past ($w_{\infty}$); in the interval allowed by the present constraints on dark energy, the variation of $w_{\infty}$ induces a significant change in the BB mode lensing amplitude. A Fisher matrix analysis, under conservative assumptions concerning the increase of the sample variance due to the lensing non-Gaussian statistics, shows that a precision of order 10% on both $w_{0}$ and $w_{\infty}$ is achievable by the future experiments probing a large sky area with angular resolution and sensitivity appropriate to detect the lensing effect on the CMB angular power spectrum. These results show that the CMB can probe the differential redshift behavior of the dark energy equation of state, beyond its average.Comment: New version including substantial text change, three more figures and two more table

Anisotropic Nonlinear Diffusion with Absorption: Existence and Extinction

The authors prove that the nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation ∂ u ∂ t = ∑ i , j = 1 n ∂ 2 ∂ x i ∂ x j φ i j ( u ) − f ( u ) with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and a nonnegative initial condition has a nonnegative generalized solution u . They also give necessary and sufficient conditions on the constitutive functions φ i j and f which ensure the existence of a time t 0 \u3e 0 for which u vanishes for all t ≥ t 0

Flow along tool-chip interface in orthogonal metal cutting

In recent papers it has been suggested that over part of the toolchip contact zone the chip does not slide but sticks to the tool, chip flow taking place by shear within the body of the chip. Sticking contact is inconsistent with steady state cutting and in this paper a slip-line field model of chip flow is presented which does not include sticking contact and which is consistent with the relevant experimental observations
