Light and temperature effects on Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios in the scleractinian coral Acropora sp.

This study was designed to investigate the effect of light and temperature on Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios in the skeleton of the coral Acropora sp. for the purpose of evaluating temperature proxies for paleoceanographic applications. In the first experiment, co ...

The surface Laplacian operator of the potentials on a bounded volume conductor has a unique inverse

In the discussion on the use of the surface Laplacian (SL) of the distribution of bioelectric potentials on the body surface, the question remained open whether a complete specification of the SL of the potential over the surface bounding a volume conducto ...

On the unusual fluorescence properties of xanthone in water

Beat Fierz

Photo-excited xanthone is known to undergo ultrafast intersystem crossing (ISC) in the 1 ps time domain. Correspondingly, its fluorescence quantum yield in most solvents is very small ( approximately 10(-4)). Surprisingly, the quantum yield in water is 100 ...

Measurement of the running of the electromagnetic coupling at large momentum-transfer at LEP

Qian Wang, Aurelio Bay, Horst Vogel, Eduardo Sanchez, Zhirui Xu, Werner Lustermann, Liang Sun, Jian Zhao, Ji Hyun Kim, Zheng Wang, Matthias Weber, Xiao Wang

The evolution of the electromagnetic coupling, α, in the momentum-transfer range 1800 GeV2 < -Q2 < 21600 GeV2 is studied with about 40 000 Bhabha-scattering events collected with the L3 detector at LEP at centre-of-mass energies √s = 189-209 GeV. The runni ...

Numerical simulation of free surface incompressible liquid flows surrounded by compressible gas

Jacques Rappaz, Marco Picasso, Alexandre Caboussat

A numerical model for the three-dimensional simulation of liquid-gas flows with free surfaces is presented. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations are assumed to hold in the liquid domain. In the gas domain, the velocity is disregarded, the pressure is ...

PixFRET, an ImageJ Plug-in for FRET Calculation That Can Accommodate Variations in Spectral Bleed-throughs

Daniel Sage, Walter Wahli

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) allows the user to investigate interactions between fluorescent partners. One crucial issue when calculating sensitized emission FRET is the correction for spectral bleed-throughs (SBTs), which requires to calc ...

Diffusivity and configurational entropy maxima in short range attractive colloids

Giuseppe Foffi, Francesco Sciortino

We study tagged particle diffusion at large packing fractions, for a model of particles interacting with a generalized Lennard-Jones 2n-n potential, with large n. The resulting short range potential mimics interactions in colloidal systems. In agreement wi ...

The synthesis, characterisation, and reactivity of some polydentate phosphinoamine ligands with benzene-1,3-diyl and pyridine-2,6-diyl backbones

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei

The polydentate phosphinoamines 1,3-{(Ph2P)(2)N}(2)C6H4 and 2,6-{(Ph2P)(2)N}(2)C5H3N have been prepared in a single step from the reaction of the amines 1,3-(NH2)(2)C6H4 or 2,6-(NH2)(2)C5H3N with Ph2PCl in presence of Et3N (1:4:4 molar ratio) in CH2Cl2. Re ...

Pressure-induced structural changes in liquid SiO2 from ab initio simulations

Alfredo Pasquarello, Roberto Car

First-principles molecular dynamics simulations at constant pressure have been used to investigate the mechanisms of compression of liquid SiO2. Liquid SiO2 is found to become denser than quartz at a pressure of about 6 GPa, in agreement with extrapolation ...

Radiative lifetime of negative trions in GaAs and CdTe quantum wells

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Jean-Daniel Ganière, Victoria Ciulin

We have studied experimentally the radiative lifetimes of negatively charged excitons (X-) and neutral excitons (X) in GaAs and CdTe quantum wells. Despite the different optical properties (e.g. trion binding energies) and the different quantum well struct ...
