Population Growth and Other Statistics of Middle-sized Irish Towns. General Research Series Paper No. 85, April 1976
The basic aim of the study is the presentation of tables of comparative
statistical data relating to 97 towns with population 5OO-1O,OOO in
1971 and analyses of such data. The exclusion of the four County Boroughs
and Dun Laoghaire together with twelve other large towns and all small
towns and villages, was to impart a degree of homogeneity to the inquiry, as
regards function of town. The 97 towns range from Mullingar, the largest
with a population of 9,245 to Cootehill with 1,542
Fermi Liquids and the Luttinger Integral
The Luttinger Theorem, which relates the electron density to the volume of
the Fermi surface in an itinerant electron system, is taken to be one of the
essential features of a Fermi liquid. The microscopic derivation of this result
depends on the vanishing of a certain integral, the Luttinger integral , which is also the basis of the Friedel sum rule for impurity models,
relating the impurity occupation number to the scattering phase shift of the
conduction electrons. It is known that non-zero values of with
, occur in impurity models in phases with non-analytic low
energy scattering, classified as singular Fermi liquids. Here we show the same
values, , occur in an impurity model in phases with regular
low energy Fermi liquid behavior. Consequently the Luttinger integral can be
taken to characterize these phases, and the quantum critical points separating
them interpreted as topological.Comment: 5 pages 7 figure
Examining Mental Health and Well-being Provision in Schools in Europe: Methodological Approach
Schools are considered an ideal setting for community-based mental health and well-being interventions for young people. However, in spite of extensive literature examining the effectiveness of such interventions, very few studies have investigated existing mental health and well-being provision in schools. The current study aims to extend such previous research by surveying primary and secondary schools to investigate the nature of available provision in nine European countries (Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, the UK and Ukraine). Furthermore, the study aims to investigate potential barriers to mental health and well-being provision and compare provision within and between countries
Новые определения глубинного теплового потока Земли в Карпатском регионе
Встановлено нові значення глибинного теплового потоку Землі (ТП) у 44 пунктах та проведено незалежні повторні визначення ТП у 45 пунктах Карпатського регіону на родовищах нафти і газу. Визначено аномалії, які вірогідно пов'язані з підйомом глибинних флюїдів.The new values of deep heat flow (HF) are studied at 44 points, and the independent re-determinations of HF are executed at 45 points of the Carpathian region in the oil and gas fields. Anomalies presumably associated with the rise of deep fluids are found
Weighted-density approximation for general nonuniform fluid mixtures
In order to construct a general density-functional theory for nonuniform
fluid mixtures, we propose an extension to multicomponent systems of the
weighted-density approximation (WDA) of Curtin and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A 32,
2909 (1985)]. This extension corrects a deficiency in a similar extension
proposed earlier by Denton and Ashcroft [Phys. Rev. A 42, 7312 (1990)], in that
that functional cannot be applied to the multi-component nonuniform fluid
systems with spatially varying composition, such as solid-fluid interfaces. As
a test of the accuracy of our new functional, we apply it to the calculation of
the freezing phase diagram of a binary hard-sphere fluid, and compare the
results to simulation and the Denton-Ashcroft extension.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. E as Brief Repor
Cu/Ag EAM Potential Optimized for Heteroepitaxial Diffusion from ab initio Data
A binary embedded-atom method (EAM) potential is optimized for Cu on Ag(111)
by fitting to ab initio data. The fitting database consists of DFT calculations
of Cu monomers and dimers on Ag(111), specifically their relative energies,
adatom heights, and dimer separations. We start from the Mishin Cu-Ag EAM
potential and first modify the Cu-Ag pair potential to match the FCC/HCP site
energy difference then include Cu-Cu pair potential optimization for the entire
database. The optimized EAM potential reproduce DFT monomer and dimer relative
energies and geometries correctly. In trimer calculations, the potential
produces the DFT relative energy between FCC and HCP trimers, though a
different ground state is predicted. We use the optimized potential to
calculate diffusion barriers for Cu monomers, dimers, and trimers. The
predicted monomer barrier is the same as DFT, while experimental barriers for
monomers and dimers are both lower than predicted here. We attribute the
difference with experiment to the overestimation of surface adsorption energies
by DFT and a simple correction is presented. Our results show that the
optimized Cu-Ag EAM can be applied in the study of larger Cu islands on
Ag(111).Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
