We show that energy dissipation partition between a liquid and a solid controls the shape and stability of droplets sliding on viscoelastic gels. When both phases dissipate energy equally, droplet dynamics is similar to that on rigid…
The Kerr effect on vesicle-like droplets is described. We give a simple derivation of the Kerr constant for a dielectric fluid droplet immersed in another fluid, assuming that the droplet in an electric field becomes a prolate ellipsoid.…
We consider evaporation of pure liquid drops on a thermally conductive substrate. Two evaporative models are considered: one that concentrates on the liquid phase in determining evaporative flux, and the other one that centers on the…

Let $n \in \mathbb N$, let $\zeta_{n,1},...,\zeta_{n,n}$ be a sequence of independent random variables with $\mathbb E \zeta_{n,i}=0$ and $\mathbb E |\zeta_{n,i}|<\infty$ for each $i$, and let $\mu$ be an $\alpha$-stable distribution having…
The region of heavy calcium isotopes forms the frontier of experimental and theoretical nuclear structure research where the basic concepts of nuclear physics are put to stringent test. The recent discovery of the extremely neutron-rich…
Evaporation of a liquid drop surrounded by either vapor of the same fluid, or vapor and air, is usually attributed to vapor diffusion -- which, however, does not apply to the former setting, as pure fluids do not diffuse. The present paper…
The measurement of positron--nucleus collisions was used to estimate the possibility of suppressing background events that simulate $\beta\beta$ decay in the emulsion region adjacent to molybdenum conglomerates. The range of the escape of…
We apply a linearized stability analysis to simplified models of accretion-phase neutrino fluxes streaming from a supernova. We compare the results with recent numerical studies and find excellent agreement. This provides confidence that a…
In the present work, the connection between the smallness of the neutrino masses and the stability of the proton is studied. We analyze this connection from different perspectives: the smallness of neutrino mass and the proton stability…
Beyond a threshold, electric or magnetic fields cause a dielectric or ferromagnetic fluid drop respectively to develop conical tips. We analyze the appearance of the conical tips and the associated shape transition of the drop using a local…
For acoustic waves in lined ducts, at given frequencies, the dispersion relation leads to a transcendental equation for the wavenumber that has to be solved by numerical methods. Based on Eckart explicit expression initially derived for…
This paper is concerned with the linear stability analysis for the Couette flow of the Euler-Poisson system for both ionic fluid and electronic fluid in the domain $\bb{T}\times\bb{R}$. We establish the upper and lower bounds of the…
The liquid-gas spinodal and the glass transition define ultimate boundaries beyond which substances cannot exist as (stable or metastable) liquids. The relation between these limits is analyzed {\it via} computer simulations of a model…
The pasta phases predicted to occur near the inner boundary of the crust of a neutron star resemble liquid crystals, a smectic A in the case of sheet-like nuclei (lasagna) and the columnar phase in the case of rod-like nuclei (spaghetti).…

The outer layers of a neutron star are supposed to be formed of a solid Coulomb lattice of neutron rich nuclei. At densities above neutron drip density (about one thousandth of nuclear saturation density), this lattice is immersed in a…
The radii of nucleon distribution, bulk density, and neutron skin in nuclei beyond the \beta-stability line are studied within the direct variational method. We evaluate the partial equation of state of finite nuclei and demonstrate that…
