    On partial well-order for monotone grid classes of permutations

    Full text link
    A monotone grid class is a permutation class (i.e., a downset of permutations under the containment order) defined by local monotonicity conditions. We give a simplified proof of a result of Murphy and Vatter that monotone grid classes of forests are partially well-ordered

    Wall slip, shear banding, and instability in the flow of a triblock copolymer micellar solution

    The shear flow of a triblock copolymer micellar solution (PEO--PPO--PEO Pluronic P84 in brine) is investigated using simultaneous rheological and velocity profile measurements in the concentric cylinder geometry. We focus on two different temperatures below and above the transition temperature TcT_c which was previously associated with the apparition of a stress plateau in the flow curve. (i) At T=37.0∘T=37.0^\circC <Tc<T_c, the bulk flow remains homogeneous and Newtonian-like, although significant wall slip is measured at the rotor that can be linked to an inflexion point in the flow curve. (ii) At T=39.4∘T=39.4^\circC >Tc>T_c, the stress plateau is shown to correspond to stationary shear-banded states characterized by two high shear rate bands close to the walls and a very weakly sheared central band, together with large slip velocities at the rotor. In both cases, the high shear branch of the flow curve is characterized by flow instability. Interpretations of wall slip, three-band structure, and instability are proposed in light of recent theoretical models and experiments.Comment: 13 pages, 13 figure

    A panyological study of the impact of man on the landscape of central Southern England, with special reference to the chalklands

    The sequence from Winchester provides evidence for the Boreal and Atlantic woodland of the chalk and exhibits an early Ulmus decline clearance. Open conditions appear to have prevailed in at least this area of the Hampshire Downs since the Early Neolithic. The Snelsmore data show that from the end of the UImus decline clearance, woodland was a more common feature of the local landscape.The peripheral sites in general exhibit phases of woodland clearance and regeneration similar to sites elsewhere in Britain. At several of these peripheral sites there is a good correlation between the chronology of episodes in the pollen diagrams and archaeological events on the chalklands, although the representation of pollen from vegetation on the chalk outcrop may have been low. The rapidly accumulating peat at Rimsmoor shows clearance episodes in considerable detail and at Kingswood a phase of Mesolithic disturbance may be recorded.It is proposed that certain areas of the chalk, such as that around Winchester, have been characterised by an essentially open landscape since the Early Neolithic. In other areas, however, as perhaps typified by the Snelsmore analysis, woodland was more common. Edaphlc and socio-economic reasons are advanced for these differences

    In line with the logic of ecology and the philosophy of Existentialism, the existence of one thing is always in the company of one or more of other things. This, to give a correct idea or to avoid misunderstandings of the use of the predicate ahead as in terms like seeds, superior schools, excellent products of education, and others, it is morally imperative for the users of such terms to provide the terms with Reviews their Contexts to Determine Whether a superior means \u27prime\u27, \u27superior\u27, \u27competitive\u27, or any other. Instances of such Contexts can be of appearance or performance, of a long or short term, of the current objectives or future goals, of individuals or the community, of individual or social needs, of national or International needs, of inclusive or exclusive purposes, and others. Even now, the writer is still of the belief that the USAge of the aforementioned Reviews those terms in the field of education in Indonesia is still more as jargon rather than basic concepts. Indeed very rarely or even never does the public, particularly subject to Reviews those who are very much concerned with the development of education in Indonesia, to get a thorough explanation of Reviews those terms Mentioned. This article tries to build a kind of "second opinion" as a balance to the existence of that jargon Mentioned
