Initial-value ordinary differential equation solution via variable order Adams method (SIVA/DIVA) package is collection of subroutines for solution of nonstiff ordinary differential equations. There are versions for single-precision and double-precision arithmetic. Requires fewer evaluations of derivatives than other variable-order Adams predictor/ corrector methods. Option for direct integration of second-order equations makes integration of trajectory problems significantly more efficient. Written in FORTRAN 77.

Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

Solution-deposited metal oxides show great potential for large-area electronics, but they generally require high annealing temperatures, which are incompatible with flexible polymeric substrates. Combustion processing is now reported as a new low-temperature route for the deposition of diverse metal oxide films, and high-performance transistors are demonstrated using this method.

Preparation and catalytic properties of transition metal carbides and nitrides

The chemistry of SHS is briefly reviewed and illustrated by some examples of the practical implementation of SHS-produced powders, ceramics, hard alloys, cast materials, and items. Outlined are some promising lines of further R & D in the field.

The chemistry of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis

Theory of combustion waves in homogeneous media

Propagation of a pulsating exothermic reaction front in the condensed phase

A short information is given on the results of work carried out at the Branch of the Institute of Chemical Physics, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, since 1967 on studying the combustion processes caused by the interaction of chemical elements in the condensed phase and leading to the formation of refractory compounds. New phenomena and processes are described which are revealed when investigating the combustion of the systems of this class, viz solid-phase combustion.fast combustion in the condensed phase, filtering combustion, combustion in liquid nitrogen, spinning combustion, self-oscillating combustion and repeated combustion. A new direction in employment of combustion processes is discussed, viz. a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis of refractory nitrides, carbides, borides, silicides and other compounds.
