The influence of cooling rate on thermal strains in the quasicrystalline icosahedral Al-Pd-Mn complex metallic alloy was investigated. In general, measurements of the electronic magnetization can be used as an indirect method for determining the short-scale disorder in the crystal structure as the magnetic moments at the Mn sites are highly dependent on their local environment. Excluding the co...

Potential increases for larger number of onchip processors. DDM-CMP is likely to have a large number of small embedded microprocessors Scheduling is often in data driven model of execution Thermal profiling information can be included during re-compilation We have developed: TSIC: Thermal Scheduling Simulator for Chip Multiprocessors to study the several alternatives The Scheduling algorithm de...

We calculate the contribution to the ultraviolet background (UVB) from thermal emission from gas shock heated by cosmic structure formation. Our main calculation is based on an updated version of Press-Schechter theory. It is consistent with a more empirical estimate based on the observed properties of galaxies and the observed cosmic star formation history. Thermal UVB emission is characterize...

Abstract Omphacite is a diagnostic mineral of high- and ultrahigh-pressure rocks, its association with garnet characteristic eclogites from subduction-related massifs volcano-entrained xenoliths. can accommodate significant amounts water as structurally bound hydroxyl (OH) groups, able to convey into Earth's interior. We show, for the first time, experimental evidence that infrared absorption p...
