Critical points and symmetries of a free energy function for biaxial nematic liquid crystals [PDF]
, 2015 We describe a general mean field model for the free energy function for a homogeneous medium of mutually interacting molecules, based on the formalism for a biaxial nematic liquid crystal set out by Katriel et al (1986) in an influential paper in Liquid ...

Critical Literacies in Australia [PDF]
, 2021 In this chapter, the authors provide background on the social, political, and demographic context of Australia and introduce the Australian schooling system considered to have been a fertile space for a multifarious critical literacies project over time.

QCD and the chiral critical point [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1994 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.

Existence and multiplicity results for nonlinear problems involving the p(x)-Laplace operator [PDF]
Opuscula Mathematica, 2014 In this paper we study the following nonlinear boundary-value problem \[-\Delta_{p(x)} u=\lambda f(x,u) \quad \text{ in } \Omega,\] \[|\nabla u|^{p(x)-2}\frac{\partial u}{\partial \nu}+\beta(x)|u|^{p(x)-2}u=\mu g(x,u) \quad \text{ on } \partial\Omega ...

Terrorism and food chain [PDF]
, 2009 The terrorist threat of biological or chemical contamination of the food chain has been examined using two methods: the analysis of feasibility criteria and the impact on public health, and the analysis of data on former biological and ...

Using Sigmoid Growth Models to Simulate Greenhouse Tomato Growth and Development
Horticulturae, 2022 Mathematical modeling has been used to describe the characteristics of crop growth. Establishing a growth model can help to better understand the responses of crops to their environment and improve the efficiency of agricultural production.

Salient Critical Points for Meshes [PDF]
, 2007 head model with large noise and small hair textures, and the corresponding mean curvature visualization. (b) The mean curvature function yields 7,629 critical points due to the curvature function’s sensitivity to noise.

On quasilinear elliptic problems with finite or infinite potential wells
Open Mathematics, 2021 We consider quasilinear elliptic problems of the form −div(ϕ(∣∇u∣)∇u)+V(x)ϕ(∣u∣)u=f(u),u∈W1,Φ(RN),-{\rm{div}}\hspace{0.33em}(\phi \left(| \nabla u| )\nabla u)+V\left(x)\phi \left(| u| )u=f\left(u),\hspace{1.0em}u\in {W}^{1,\Phi }\left({{\mathbb{R}}}^{N}),

, 2011 We examine in this paper so-called B-critical points of linear, time-varying differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) of the form A(t)(D(t)x(t))' + B(t)x(t) = q(t). These critical or singular points, which cannot be handled by classical projector methods,

A Cr unimodal map with an arbitrary fast growth of the number of periodic points [PDF]
, 2012 In this paper we present a surprising example of a C(r) unimodal map of an interval f : I -> I whose number of periodic points P(n)(f) = vertical bar{x is an element of I : f(n) x = x}vertical bar grows faster than any ahead given sequence along a ...
