Design Of A High-Temperature And High-Pressure Liquid Flow Cell For X-Ray Absorption Fine Structure Measurements Under Catalytic Reaction Conditions
(AIP Publishing, 2008-01-01)
The design and performance of a new high-pressure and high-temperature cell for measurement of x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectra of solid catalysts working in a flowing liquid are presented. The cell has flat, ...
Local aging phenomena close to magnetic surfaces
(American Physical Society, 2007-09)
Surface aging phenomena are discussed for semi-infinite systems prepared in a fully disordered initial state and then quenched to or below the critical point. In addition to solving exactly the semi-infinite Ising model ...
Superuniversality in phase-ordering disordered ferromagnets
(American Physical Society, 2008-12)
The phase-ordering kinetics of the ferromagnetic two-dimensional Ising model with uniform bond disorder is investigated by intensive Monte Carlo simulations. Simple aging behavior is observed in the single-time correlator ...
Field-theory approaches to nonequilibrium dynamics
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2007-01-01)
It is explained how field-theoretic methods and the dynamic renormalisation group (RG) can be applied to study the universal scaling properties of systems that either undergo a continuous phase transition or display generic ...
Spatial Variability Enhances Species Fitness in Stochastic Predator-Prey Interactions
(American Physical Society, 2008-12-19)
We study the influence of spatially varying reaction rates on a spatial stochastic two-species Lotka-Volterra lattice model for predator-prey interactions using two-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations. The effects of this ...
The balance of reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity of lists of differentially expressed genes in microarray studies
(2008-08-12)
Background
Reproducibility is a fundamental requirement in scientific experiments. Some recent publications have claimed that microarrays are unreliable because lists of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are not ...
Large eddy simulation of turbulent channel flows by the rational large eddy simulation model
(AIP Publishing, 2003-10)
The rational large eddy simulation (RLES) model is applied to turbulent channel flows. This approximate deconvolution model is based on a rational (subdiagonal Pade) approximation of the Fourier transform of the Gaussian ...
Fluid Limits of Optimally Controlled Queueing Networks
(Hindawi, 2007-08-21)
We consider a class of queueing processes represented by a Skorokhod problem coupled with a controlled point process. Posing a discounted control problem for such processes, we show that the optimal value functions converge, ...
Assessment of Nutrient Limitation in Floodplain Forests with Two Different Techniques
(Hindawi, 2008-05-15)
We assessed nitrogen and phosphorus limitation in a floodplain forest in southern Georgia in USA using two commonly used methods: nitrogen to phosphorus (N:P) ratios in litterfall and fertilized ingrowth cores. We measured ...
The Changing Pattern of Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Disease
(Hindawi, 2003-01-01)
Nontuberculous mycobacteria are human opportunistic pathogens whose source of infection is the environment. These include both slow-growing (eg, Mycobacterium kansasii and Mycobacterium avium) and rapid-growing (eg, ...
