The arbitrary factor of − 100 in the equation above is used to scale the calculated interaction values to a number of order ~ 1, with attractive interaction values expressed as positive numbers and repulsive values as negative numbers.
For a repulsive exponent value δ = 12 these constants are evaluated for 16 binary mixtures of different molecular structure and for all noble gas binaries.
Figure 5A shows the average magnitude of shifts in orientation preference (negative values: repulsive shifts; positive values: attractive shifts).
We recall that a subshift Y is called repulsive if the value begin{aligned} ell := inf left{ frac{|W |- |w |}{|w |} :w, W in {mathcal {L}}(Y), w ; text {is a prefix and suffix of} ; W, ; text {and} ; W ne w ne varepsilon right} end{aligned}is non-zero.
"But the Bible says very clearly that homosexuality is wrong, and Christians don't want the schools to teach subjects that are repulsive to their values".
Einstein called this space-filling energy the cosmological constant, and he found that by finely adjusting its value, the repulsive gravity it produced would precisely cancel the usual attractive gravity coming from stars and galaxies, yielding a static cosmos.
Once the electric field strength exceeds a threshold value, the repulsive electric force dominates the surface tension of the liquid, and a stable jet emerges from the cone tip.
When the applied field strength exceeds a threshold value, the repulsive electrostatic force overcomes the surface tension, and the charged jet is ejected from the tip of the Taylor cone.
The power laws governing the behaviour of the RKKY and Sütő potentials at large values of r are slightly different, and effective ion potentials also include a steeply repulsive region at small values of r (ref. 10) that is absent in Sütő's interaction.
Following the same arguments as for single species transport, varying the binding strength from infinitely high values to infinitely low values (corresponding to completely repulsive interaction), lets the flow vary from zero through some maximum value to zero again.
