AbstractIn recent work, a novel silicon-based photodiode technology was reported to be suitable for producing radiation detectors for 193 nm deep-ultraviolet light and for the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) spectral range. The devices were developed and fabricated at the Del...

ABSTRACTHaemophilus influenzae is an uncommon cause of bacterial meningitis in adults. This report describes a prospective evaluation of 16 episodes of community-acquired H. influenzae meningitis in a nationwide study on bacterial meningitis. Predisposing conditions wer...

The material point method (MPM) is a meshfree mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian method which utilizes moving Lagrangian material points that store physical properties of a deforming continuum and a fixed Eulerian finite elementmesh to solve the equations of motion for individua...

AbstractWe are concerned with the set of polynomials {SM, Nn} which are orthogonal with respect to the discrete Sobolev inner product 〈 f, g 〉 = ∫∞0w(x) f(x) g(x) dx + Mf(0) g(0) + Nf′(0) g′(0), where w is a weight function, M ≥ 0, N ≥ 0. We show that these polynomials ...

AbstractMg-Ti compounds are attractive candidates as hydrogen storage materials for their fast sorption kinetics and high storage capacity. In this context, an investigation of their thermal stability is of great importance. The thermal stability of MgyTi1-y thin films ...

The architecture of grana membranes from spinach chloroplasts was studied by cryo electron tomography. Tomographic reconstructions of ice-embedded isolated grana stacks enabled to resolve features of photosystem II (PSII) in the native membrane and to assign the absolut...

DNA hairpins have been investigated in which individual adenines were replaced by their fluorescent analog 2-aminopurine (2AP). The temperature dependence of the time evolution of polarized emission spectra was monitored with picosecond time resolution. Four isotropic d...

Abstract In this paper we present a boundary integral equation method for the numerical conformal mapping of bounded multiply connected region onto a parallel slit region. The method is based on some uniquely solvable boundary integral equations with adjoint classical, ...
