Particle-hole condensates of higher angular momentum in hexagonal systems
Hexagonal lattice systems (e.g. triangular, honeycomb, kagome) possess a
multidimensional irreducible representation corresponding to and
symmetry. Consequently, various unconventional phases that combine
these -wave representations can occur, and in so doing may break
time-reversal and spin rotation symmetries. We show that hexagonal lattice
systems with extended repulsive interactions can exhibit instabilities in the
particle-hole channel to phases with either or
symmetry. When lattice translational symmetry is preserved, the phase
corresponds to nematic order in the spin-channel with broken time-reversal
symmetry, known as the phase. On the other hand, lattice translation
symmetry can be broken, resulting in various density wave
orders. In the weak-coupling limit, when the Fermi surface lies close to a van
Hove singularity, instabilities of both types are obtained in a controlled
fashion.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. Journal reference adde
Extension of Ruiz Criterion for Evaluation of 3-D Fretting Fatigue Damage Parameter
AbstractFretting fatigue is an important consideration in the design and optimization of mechanical systems and assemblies in the recent times. Empirical approaches, multi-axial fatigue considerations and fracture mechanics approaches are considered for assessing fretting fatigue damages at contact interfaces of assemblies. Ruiz criteria is an effective empirical approach for evaluation of Fretting Fatigue Damage Parameter (FFDP) and has been demonstrated in two dimensional fretting studies of a typical dovetail interface problem. The current paper considers the extension of Ruiz criterion for assessing fretting fatigue damage parameter for three dimensional problems. Two approaches viz. summation of FFDP computed independently along the two slip directions and combined maximum principal-shear stress approach have been proposed for the FFDP evaluation, considering three dimensional stress and slip components over contact interface. FFDP evaluation using maximum principal-shear stress approach is observed to be more appropriate for three dimensional problem
A model approach to groundwater quality of Anekal Taluk, Bangalore Urban district
Application of linear regression anal. is very much significant to construct the predictive model using the present groundwater quality data from which, helps to predict the futuristic quality of groundwater of particular area. Here, 1026 groundwater samples of 272 villages were collected and analyzed for 14 parameters for physico-chem. and biol. quality of groundwater. Karl-Pearson Correlation coeffs., r, were used and attempts were made to develop the linear regression equations (y = Ax + B) for significantly correlated parameters. The results of the linear model emphasizes a pos. and significant correlation among the water quality parameters
Testability Analysis of Synchronous Sequential Circuits Based On Structural Data
Bounds on test sequence length can be used as a testability measure. We give a procedure to compute the upper bound on test sequence length for an arbitrary sequential circuit. We prove that the bound is exact for a certain class of circuits. Three design rules are specified to yield circuits with lower test sequence bounds
Some developmental stages of Caranx kalla Cuv. & Val.
These fish, when disturbed, were found to take shelter under the
bell of the medusae. Judging from their movements, however, it may
be mentioned that they seem to be cautious while moving about
inside the bell, probably to avoid the stinging cells of the medusae.
It is weIl-known that several species of carangids gather around
floating objects such as, pieces of wood, coconut shell, medusae, etc_
and the principle of lure-line fishing is basea on this peculiar habit
of carangids
Note on the organic production in the inshore waters of the Gulf of Mannar
Although considerable data are available on
the standing crop of plankton, practically no
information is available on the daily production of organic matter in our waters and there
fore investigations were started in 1957, with '
a view to measuring the magnitude of production
of organic matter by the plankton alga
and its fluctuations
