The effect of liner design upon charge motion in a rotary mill by Powell, Malcolm S

“…Some new and surprising effects of lifter-bar geometry upon the charge trajectories, which are of great practical importance, have been discovered. The theoretical model is an advance upon all previous models, and agrees well with experimental results over a wide range of conditions.…”

Exploring the spectroscopy of vibrational levels in the 160 mass region by Majola, Siyabonga Ntokozo Thandoluhle

“…In order to meaningfully describe the quantum behavior of the newly established structures, the Nilsson and Cranked Shell Models have been used. The results also test the latest and most sophisticated quantum theories of nuclear structure and also point to inadequacies of these models, where they exist. …”
