Critical-point wedge filling and critical-point wetting
For simple fluids adsorbed at a planar solid substrate (modeled as an inert wall) it is known that critical-point wetting, that is, the vanishing of the contact angle θ at a temperature T_{w} lying below that of the critical point T_{c}, need not occur. While critical-point wetting necessarily happens when the wall-fluid and fluid-fluid forces have the

The Cortex and the Critical Point
How the cerebral cortex operates near a critical phase transition point for optimum performance. Individual neurons have limited computational powers, but when they work together, it is almost like magic.

On a new critical point theorem and some applications to discrete equations [PDF]
Using the Fenchel-Young duality we derive a new critical point theorem. We illustrate our results with solvability for certain discrete BVP. Multiple solutions are also considered.

Deconfined Quantum Critical Points [PDF]
The theory of second-order phase transitions is one of the foundations of modern statistical mechanics and condensed-matter theory. A central concept is the observable order parameter, whose nonzero average value characterizes one or more phases. At large distances and long times, fluctuations of the order parameter(s) are described by a continuum ...

Topology Rule-Based Methodology for Flow Separation Analysis in Turbomachinery
Boundary-layer flow separation is a common flow feature in many engineering applications. The consequences of flow separation in turbomachinery can be disastrous in terms of performance, stability and noise.

In this paper, by applying the abstract maximal element principle of Lin and Du, we present some new existence theorems related with critical point theorem, maximal element theorem, generalized Ekeland’s variational principle and common (fuzzy) fixed ...

Let H be a Hilbert space such that H=V⊕W, where V and W are two closed subspaces of H. We generalize an abstract theorem due to Lazer et al. (1975) and a theorem given by Moussaoui (1990-1991) to the case where V and W are not necessarily finite ...

QCD and the chiral critical point [PDF]
As an extension of $QCD$, consider a theory with ``$2+1$'' flavors, where the current quark masses are held in a fixed ratio as the overall scale of the quark masses is varied. At nonzero temperature and baryon density it is expected that in the chiral limit the chiral phase transition is of first order.

COMPLIANCE STUDY OF HAZARD ANALYSIS AND CRITICAL CONTROL POINT SYSTEM [PDF]
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) system is based on a preventive methodology to avoid potential hazards that can cause harm and to ensure that unsafe food is not made available to consumers. This system is recognized by the Economic and
