A strong molecule-surface interaction between free-base-tetra(4-bromophenyl)-porphyrin and Cu(111) results in a distortion of both the molecule and the underlying copper surface in the vicinity of the molecule. This in turn leads to the formation of an intermediate complex due to bonding between the iminic nitrogens and surface copper atoms.

More and more military first-person shooters situate their action in contemporary conflicts, with some claiming to various degrees to realistically depicted that conflict. Using the recently released game Medal of Honor as an example, this paper shows that such realism is made impossible by the presence of three ideological constructs found in military shooters: the FPS apparatus, the military-...

In this paper, a fuzzy memory-based coupling sampled-data control (SDC) is designed for nonlinear systems through the switched approach. Compared with usual SDC scheme, by employing Bernoulli sequence, more general that involving signal transmission delay designed. The Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) presented available characteristics of membership function, and sampling pattern, T-S syst...

Using the Gauss linking number, we define a new measure of entanglement, the 4 linking matrix, for a collection of closed or open chains in 3-space. Periodic Boundary Conditions 5 (PBC) are often used in the simulation of physical systems of filaments. Using the periodic linking 6 number, defined in [24], we define the periodic linking matrix to study entanglement of closed or 7 open chains in ...

A novel composite right/left handed transmission line (CRLH TL) is proposed, for the first time using the Wunderlich-shaped dentiform capacitor and meandered-line short-circuited stub inductor (SSI). The CRLH TL features a larger value of CL and in turn a lower resonance relative to the previous one employing an interdigital capacitor and an SSI. The unique feature of the CRLH TL is applied to ...

Electrocardiograph (ECG) human identification has the potential to improve biometric security. However, improvements in ECG identification and feature extraction are required. Previous work has focused on single lead ECG signals. Our work proposes a new algorithm for human identification by mapping two-lead ECG signals onto a two-dimensional matrix then employing a sparse matrix method to proce...
