We study the elastic response of composites of rods embedded in elastic media. We calculate the micro-mechanical response functions, and bulk elastic constants as functions of rod density. We find two fixed points for Poisson's ratio with…

The ortho-to-para ratio (OPR) of H$_2$O is thought to be sensitive to the temperature of water formation. The OPR of H$_2$O is thus useful to study the formation mechanism of water. We investigate the OPR of water in the Orion PDR…
The probability of occurrence of various topological configurations of the 3D null-point reconnection in a random magnetic field is studied. It is found that the non-axisymmetrical six-tail configuration (or "improper radial null") should…
