By these linear rules, any cell gets updated by an EX-OR operation of the states of extreme (first and last) cells of its r + 1-neighborhood. These linear rules replicate the binary image in two ways on the 1D CA: one is without changing the position of the original binary image at time step t 0 and the other is by changing the position of the original binary image at time step t 0. Based on the two ways of replication, we have classified the linear rules into three types. In this paper, we have proven that the binary image of size m gets replicated exactly at time step 2k of the uniform linear rules on the r + 1-neighborhood 1D CA, where k is the least positive integer satisfying the inequality m r ≤ 2k.

An inductively coupled rf field (13.56 MHz) is continuously supplied to the disk‐shaped Hall‐type MHD generator. The first part of this paper describes a method of obtaining increased power output from a pure Argon plasma MHD power generator by incorporating an rf power source to preionize and heat the plasma. The rf heating enhances ionization of the Argon and raises the temperature of the free electron population above the nominally low 4500 K temperatures obtained without rf heating. This in turn enhances the plasma conductivity making MHD power generation feasible. We demonstrate an enhanced power output when rf heating is on approximately 5 times larger than the input power of the rf generator. The second part of this paper is a demonstration of a physical phenomenon of the rf‐stabilization of the ionization instability, that had been conjectured for some time, but had not been seen experimentally. The rf heating suppresses the ionization instability in the plasma behavior and homogenizes the nonuniformity of the plasma structures. The power‐generating performance is significantly improved with the aid of the rf power under wide seeding conditions. The increment of the enthalpy extraction ratio of around 2% is significantly greater than the fraction of the net rf power, that is, 0.16%, to the thermal input.","PeriodicalId":46935,"journal":{"name":"Complex Systems","volume":"982 1","pages":"618-625"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2008-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1063/1.2897867","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58348244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, they are applied to the calculation of the thermal conductivity of amorphous polyamide‐6,6. We treat two models of the polymer with different degrees of freedoms constrained.

Blindfolded and stoppled subjects are observed to do ring‐wandering rather than random‐walking. This experiment simulates the phenomenon of ring‐wandering that climbers encounter in snowy mountains. 15 samples of walking for 13 subjects are reported. Their walking periods are about 40 minutes or 2 hours. The walking data are acquired every second, using a GPS receiver. The discrete velocity v(t) and discrete angular velocity ω(t) of the data are analyzed, using Hurst's R/S analysis and Fourier spectrum analysis. The Hurst exponents of v(t) show long‐range correlations. The Hurst exponents of ω(t) show anti‐correlations in short‐ranges and correlations in long‐ranges. These characteristics of the Hurst exponents in the present data in addition to previous data in this study series describe the ring‐wandering phenomena very well.

We find a correlation between the dynamic fragility crossover and the locus of specific heat maxima CPmax (“Widom line”) emanating from the critical point. Our findings are consistent with a possible relation between the previously hypothesized liquid‐liquid phase transition and the transition in the dynamics recently observed in neutron scattering experiments on confined water. More generally, we argue that this connection between CPmax and the dynamic crossover is not limited to the case of water, a hydrogen bonded network liquid, but is a more general feature of crossing the Widom line, an extension of the first‐order coexistence line in the supercritical region. We present evidence from experiments and computer simulations supporting the hypothesis that water displays polyamorphism, i.e., water separates into two distinct liquid phases. This concept of a new liquid‐liquid phase transition is finding application to other liquids as well as water, such as silicon and silica. We also discuss related puzzles, such as the mysterious behavior of confined water and the “skin” of hydration water near a biomolecule. Specifically, using molecular dynamics simulations, we also investigate the relation between the dynamic transitions of biomolecules (lysozyme and DNA) and the dynamic and thermodynamic properties of hydration water. We find that the dynamic transition of the macromolecules, sometimes called a “protein glass transition”, occurs at the temperature of dynamic crossover in the diffusivity of hydration water, and also coincides with the maxima of the isobaric specific heat CP and the temperature derivative of the orientational order parameter. We relate these findings to the hypothesis of a liquid‐liquid critical point in water. Our simulations are consistent with the possibility that the protein glass transition results from a change in the behavior of hydration water, specifically from crossing the Widom line.We investigate the relation between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of the liquid‐liquid critical point in (i) Two models of water, TIP5P and ST2, which display a first order liquid‐liquid phase transition at low temperatures; (ii) the Jagla model, a sph","PeriodicalId":46935,"journal":{"name":"Complex Systems","volume":"982 1","pages":"251-271"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2008-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1063/1.2897798","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"58347931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
