Abstract

A highly unifOrm and dense plasma has been prOduced successfuHy in a parallel―

Experilnents have been carried outin a vacuum chamber of outer diameter of 300 mm with

two parallel electrOdes(200 mm in dia,Al)separated by 35 mm,one of which is a hollow―

In recent years,there has been groⅥ /ing interest in the subject of plasma―

In a D C glow discharge,in principle,the abnormal glow regilne assures the uniformity of

the current―

We present sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to Neu- mann and periodic boundary-value problems for some class of quasilinear ordinary differential equations.. We

In Section 13, we discuss flagged Schur polynomials, vexillary and dominant permutations, and give a simple formula for the polynomials D w , for 312-avoiding permutations.. In

It turns out that the symbol which is defined in a probabilistic way coincides with the analytic (in the sense of pseudo-differential operators) symbol for the class of Feller

Then it follows immediately from a suitable version of “Hensel’s Lemma” [cf., e.g., the argument of [4], Lemma 2.1] that S may be obtained, as the notation suggests, as the m A

We give a Dehn–Nielsen type theorem for the homology cobordism group of homol- ogy cylinders by considering its action on the acyclic closure, which was defined by Levine in [12]

Applying the conditions to the general differential solutions for the flow fields, we perform many tedious and long calculations in order to evaluate the unknown constant coefficients
