A method for studying the exact properties of a class of inhomogeneous stochastic many-body systems is developed and presented in the framework of a voter model perturbed by the presence of a "zealot," an individual allowed to favor an "opinion." We comput ...
The authors propose a numerical method for the uniformization of Riemann surfaces and algebraic curves in genus two with highly accurate results. Let G be a Fuchsian group acting on the unit disk BbbD, and let S=BbbD/G. It is well known that $S ...
In the framework of ITER-EDA, a 13 T-46 kA Nb3Al conductor with stainless steel jacket has been developed in order to demonstrate applicability of an Nb3Al conductor with react-and-wind technique to ITER-TF coils. Using a 3.5 m sample consisting of a pair ...
a-Si:H i-layers were deposited at different substrate temperatures and plasma excitation frequencies, while the other deposition parameters were kept constant. These layers were characterised by measuring the intrinsic mechanical stress and the defect dens ...
A major impediment of cellular automata (CA) stems from the difficulty of utilizing their complex behavior to perform useful computations. Recent studies by Packard and Mitchell et al. have shown that CAs can be evolved to perform a computational task. In ...
Atomic broadcast in particular, and group communication in general, have mainly been specified and implemented in a system model where processes do not recover after a crash. The model is called crash-stop. The drawback of this model is its inability to ex ...
Experiments using a lens-shaped circular electrode are described to measure the correction of plasma nonuniformity due to the standing wave effect in a large area very high frequency plasma reactor. This work is the experimental verification of the theoret ...
A general approximation for the solution to the one- dimensional Richards equation is presented. It applies to arbitrary soil properties and boundary conditions but only uniform initial conditions at current stage. The result is very accurate (within 2%) w ...
The mechanical properties of extruded films of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and ethylene-propylene rubber toughened iPP (iPP/EPR) have been analyzed in terms of the specific essential and non-essential work of fracture using high speed tensile test appara ...
We develop a plane-wave pseudopotential scheme for noncollinear magnetic structures, based on a generalized local spin-density theory in which the direction of the magnetization is a continuous variable of position. We allow the atomic and magnetic structu ...
