On the basis of our previous results (Physica A 220 (1995) 325) the collective mode spectrum of the Heisenberg ferrofluid model is studied in the hydrodynamic region. We start from the rigorous microscopic approach taking into account all conserved quantities and calculate the explicit...

A wedge-shaped iron (Fe) film system, quenched by silicone oil during deposition, has been prepared on glass substrates by direct current magnetron sputtering, and the influence of external disturbance on buckling patterns is investigated. The experiment shows that the wedge-shaped Fe film...

Tantalum (Ta) films deposited on glass substrates have been prepared by a direct current magnetron sputtering method, and buckling patterns induced by residual compressive stress are investigated in detail. When the film thickness increases, the buckling morphologies evolve from straight-sided...

Предметом исследования в статье является процесс демократизации в современном глобализирующемся мире. Глобализация теоретически изображается в виде...

We examine whether real or spurious long memory characteristics of volatility are present in stock market data. We empirically distinguish between true and spurious long memory characteristics by analysing different types and measurements of volatility, utilising different sampling frequencies...

Zipf–Mandelbrot distributions are commonly used to model natural phenomena where the frequency of an event’s occurrence is inversely proportional to its rank based on that frequency of occurrence. This discrete distribution typically exhibits a large number of rare events; however, it may be...

We numerically investigate the electric potential distribution over a two-dimensional continuum percolation model between the electrodes. The model consists of overlapped conductive particles on the background with an infinitesimal conductivity. Using the finite difference method, we solve the...

The aggregation of polymer colloids is studied in processes induced at high ionic concentration. Cluster-size distributions are measured with a single-cluster light scattering instrument constructed by our team. A brief description of the instrument is given and its proper performance is...

Geometric method-based procedures, which we will call GM algorithms hereafter, were introduced in M.A. Sánchez-Granero, J.E. Trinidad Segovia, J. García Pérez, Some comments on Hurst exponent and the long memory processes on capital markets, Phys. A 387 (2008) 5543–5551, to calculate the...

Brazil has the largest stock market in South America; Argentina has one of the smallest. We investigate the spread relationship between these two markets, measured as the ratio of Brazil's Bovespa index to Argentina's Merval index. Using rescaled range analysis, we identify the presence of a...
