The growth of a planar crack through a heterogeneous brittle material is investigated using a discrete cubic lattice of springs with distributed spring toughnesses and lattice Green's functions to determine crack propagation. The toughness, or stress requi ...
We used thermal neutron irradiation to produce disorder in Bi-2212 single crystals (T-c = 85 K), at a constant carrier density. The irradiated samples were insulators. High-temperature superconductivity with a lower T-c than prior to irradiation could be r ...
Adipocyte differentiation is coordinatedly regulated by several transcription factors. C/EBP beta, C/EBP delta and ADD-1/SREBP-1 are active early during the differentiation process and induce the expression and/or activity of the peroxisome proliferator ac ...
Many scientific applications are iterative and specify repetitive communication patterns. This paper shows how a parallel-language compiler and a predictive cache-coherence protocol in a distributed shared memory system together can implement shared-memory ...
We have investigated the doping mechanism of pentacene with iodine and its impact on the structure and on the electronic properties of single crystals, powders, and thin films in a large range of iodine concentration up to six iodine per pentacene (PEN) mo ...
Here we describe a patient with epilepsy (secondary to left parieto-temporal brain damage) suffering from the paroxysmal unilateral experience of hearing a person in her near extrapersonal space. The paroxysmal auditory experience was associated with a def ...
Chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) grown InAsP/InGaAsP edge-emitting laser diodes on GaAs substrates obtained by localised fusion in a nitrogen environment exhibit high quality fused interfaces. A degradation of fused lasers is observed which is attributed to the ...
