Recent measurements of the diffractive cross section in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at HERA are presented. The data are used to investigate the factorisation properties of diffractive DIS and to examine its quantum chromodynamic (QCD) structure. Models based on the colour dipole approach to DIS are also tested. 1. Diffractive Deep Inelastic Scattering At low x in DIS at HERA, approximately ...

An improved capacity-demand-diagram method that uses the well-known constantductility design spectrum for the demand diagram is developed and illustrated by examples. This method estimates the deformation of inelastic SDF systems consistent with the selected inelastic design spectrum, while retaining the attraction of graphical implementation of the ATC-40 Nonlinear Static Procedure.

We present phonon spectra of very thin evaporated amorphous films of SiOx, obtained by inelastic electron tunnelling spectroscopy. The broad features of the results are similar to those found in neutron-scattering, Raman and infra-red measurements on bulk vitreous SiO2 but there are differences of detail. The results show inelastic tunnelling spectroscopy to be a powerful technique for the stud...

The proton-inelastic scattering from 6,8He and 7,11Li nuclei are studied in a folding model approach. A finite-range, momentum, density and isospin dependent nucleon-nucleon interaction (SBM) is folded with realistic density distributions of the above nuclei. The renormalization factors NR and NI on the real and volume imaginary part of the folded potentials are obtained by analyzing the respec...

Gribov's inelastic shadowing makes nuclei more transparent and reduce nuclear cross sections, especially when QCD dynamics (color transparency) is at work. This effect steeply rising with energy has an important impact on the recent results for high-p T hadron production at RHIC. Only the shape of p T-dependence of the d − Au to pp ratio was measured, but the absolute value was calculated. Thos...

The data of inelastic 16O+16O scattering to the lowest 2+ and 3 excited states of 16O have been measured at Elab = 250, 350, 480, 704 and 1120 MeV and analyzed consistently in the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA), using the semimicroscopic optical potentials and inelastic form factors given by the folding model, to reveal possible refractive structure of the nuclear rainbow that was ide...

We argue that the production of forward jets in polarised deep inelastic scattering can be a useful tool for probing the double ln(1/x) resummation effects which control the polarised deep inelastic scattering for small values of the Bjorken parameter x. We solve the corresponding integral equations generating the double ln(1/x) resummation and calculate the differential structure function desc...

We have developed an efficient and accurate formalism which allows the simulation at the ab initio level of inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy data under a scanning tunneling microscope setup. It exploits fully the tunneling regime by carrying out the structural optimization and vibrational mode calculations for surface and tip independently. The most relevant interactions in the inelast...

The dynamics of sheared inelastic-hard-sphere systems is studied using nonequilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations and direct simulation Monte Carlo. In the molecular-dynamics simulations Lees-Edwards boundary conditions are used to impose the shear. The dimensions of the simulation box are chosen to ensure that the systems are homogeneous and that the shear is applied uniformly. Various syst...

BACKGROUND Much of the experimental work in soft tissue mechanics has been focused on fitting approximate relations for specific tissue types from aggregate data on multiple samples of the tissue. Such relations are needed for modeling applications and have reasonable predictability - especially given the natural variance in specimens. There is, however, much theoretical and experimental work t...
