A rigid lattice gas model of solid-liquid, liquid-gas, and solid-gas transformations is proposed. The total free energy is separated into a lattice part and a vibrational correction part. It is reported that the vibrational part plays an important role in obtaining the gas, liquid and solid...

Investigating honeycomb and triangular simple spin-12 Ising model ferromagnets, exact algebraic systems of linear identities are developed containing the spontaneous magnetization and other odd-number correlations where the coefficients depend upon the interaction parameters. Aided by...

This paper presents a new numerical simulation method to calculate transient voltage profiles of lithium-ion secondary batteries. The method employs circuit analysis of an internal equivalent electric circuit composed of an electromotive force, an LR parallel circuit, and eight CR parallel...

In Japan, many local mixed enterprises owned and operated jointly by local governments and private sectors had been established from the late 1980's to the early 1990's in order to provide public services more efficiently. At present, in Japan, many local mixed enterprises are confronted with a...

The main purpose of this paper is to evaluate how the form and urban policies of ga compact city h affect its economic activities. In general, bigger cities have more advantages such as agglomeration economies, but too-big cities have the disadvantages of external diseconomies such as...
