We present the first experimental study of time-resolved fluorescence from laser-excited Cs(6P(1/2)) atoms isolated in a solid He-4 matrix. The results are compared to the predictions of the bubble model including the interaction of the atomic dipole with ...
Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm, combining diverse client devices -- PCs, smartphones, sensors, single-function, and embedded -- with computation and data storage in the cloud. As with every advance in computing, programming is a fundamental ch ...
This paper presents a method combining a top-down and a bottom-up approach, which has been developed to track energy saving opportunities. The top-down modelling method aims at correlating the energy consumption with the final products and the auxiliaries ...
We investigate and model the dynamics of two-dimensional stochastic self-assembly of intelligent micro-systems with minimal requirements in terms of sensing, actuation, and control. A microscopic agent-based model accounts for spatiality and serves as a ba ...
The partitioning of total nitrate (TNO3) and total ammonium (TNH4) between gas and aerosol phases is studied with two thermodynamic equilibrium models, ISORROPIA and the aerosol inorganics model (AIM), and three data sets: high time r ...
We carried out an ab initio molecular dynamics simulation of liquid hydrogen. chloride (l-HCl) at a temperature of 313 K. Comparison with inelastic neutron scattering data shows that the simulation achieves an overall good description of the structural cor ...
A method for the analysis of process energy requirements has been used to identify in an early design stage the potential process retrofit measures in an integrated pulp and paper mill. The minimum energy requirements (MER) of the process were computed by ...
The importance of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) as a material used for civil engineering purposes has grown in the last decade. Especially the introduction of pultrusion at an industrial level as a way to produce big batches of FRP made it possible to o ...
By studying the magnetic behavior of self-assembled Co islands on a single-crystal metal surface, Pt(111), we show how the magnetic anisotropy evolves from isolated atoms to monolayer islands and films. Single Co adatoms are found to have a giant magnetocr ...
We address the dielectric constant (or the polarizability for an isolated system) as obtained in density-functional supercell calculations with a discrete k-point sampling. We compare a scheme based on conventional perturbational theory to one based on a d ...
