TLDR
The solution of the general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.
Abstract
THE problem of formulating a rigorous mathematical description of the molecular motion in .liquids has always been regarded as much more difficult than that of the kinetic theory of gases or of solids, because one has the simplifying features of low density in the case of gases, and of a regular lattice structure in the case of solids, while the molecules of a liquid are in a dense and disordered state. It is clear that only approximate solutions may be expected ; but, in introducing the approximations, we think that the following principle should be accepted. The general equations should be established as rigorously as the present knowledge of the fundamental law permits ; the solution of these equations may, however, be obtained by approximations suited to the case.

Compositional dependence of viscosity of supercooled liquids and thermal properties in Zr-Cu-Ni-Al bulk metallic glasses

TL;DR: In this paper, a penetration viscometer at a high speed heating rate of 6.67 K/s was used to measure the viscosity of supercooled liquids in bulk metallic glasses.

Development of Coaxial Electrospinning Technology

TL;DR: Pokorn et al. as discussed by the authors developed and tested different needle coaxial spinning electrodes to increase the productivity of core-shell nanofibers, which can be used in tissue engineering to replace damaged tissue or as materials for a drug delivery system.

Classical nucleation theory for the nucleation of the solid phase of spherical particles with a short-ranged attraction

TL;DR: In this paper, an upper bound on the free energy barrier to nucleation of the solid phase of particles interacting via a potential which has a short-ranged attraction was predicted, in good agreement with the results of experiments on the crystallisation of proteins.

Theory of metastable state relaxation in a gravitational field for non-critical binary systems with non-conserved order parameter

TL;DR: In this article, a new mathematical ansatz is developed for solution of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau nonlinear partial differential equation describing metastable state relaxation in binary (solute+solvent) non-critical solutions with nonconserved scalar order parameter in presence of a gravitational field.

Relativistic liquids: GENERIC or EIT?

TL;DR: In this paper , the GENERIC hydrodynamic theory for relativistic liquids formulated by Öttinger and collaborators was studied and its conditions for linear stability and causality were derived using the maximum entropy principle.

Crystal statistics. I. A two-dimensional model with an order-disorder transition

TL;DR: In this article, the eigenwert problem involved in the corresponding computation for a long strip crystal of finite width, joined straight to itself around a cylinder, is solved by direct product decomposition; in the special case $n=\ensuremath{\infty}$ an integral replaces a sum.

On the determination of molecular fields. —II. From the equation of state of a gas

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a molecular model of the same type will also explain available experimental data concerning the equation of state of a gas, and if so, whether the results so obtained, when taken in conjunction with those obtained from viscosity, will definitely fix the molecular field.
