Over the last few years, high-quality X-ray imaging and spectroscopic data from Chandra and XMM-Newton have added greatly to the understanding of the physics of radio jets. Here we describe the current state of knowledge with an emphasis on the underlying physics used to interpret multiwavelength data in terms of physical parameters.

In some setting objects that are close to having the property may be almost as good for these settings as objects that have the property (e.g., see some of the settings discussed in Section [intro:benefits]). But in such a case, when testing for the property, it may be desirable not to reject objects that are very close to having the property (or, put differently, “tolerate” a small deviation)....

Plans and policies are enhanced by information generated in Step 1, which involves analyzing the role that wetlands play in landscape processes. Landscape processes both maintain and interact with wetlands and the functions they perform. Landscape processes can include physical processes such as those that maintain hydrology and the physical stability of shorelines; chemical processes such as t...

We show that the exact exchange-correlation potential of time-dependent density-functional theory displays dynamical step structures that have a spatially nonlocal and time nonlocal dependence on the density. Using one-dimensional two-electron model systems, we illustrate these steps for a range of nonequilibrium dynamical situations relevant for modeling of photochemical or physical processes:...

Acoustic scattering techniques provide a unique and powerful tool to remotely investigate the physical properties of the ocean interior over large spatial and temporal scales. With high-frequency acoustic scattering it is possible to probe physical processes that occur at the microstructure scale, spanning submillimeter to centimeter scale processes. An acoustic scattering model for turbulent o...

Understanding the impacts of land-use change on landscape-hydrological dynamics is one of the main challenges in the Northern Brazilian Cerrado biome, where the Amazon agricultural frontier is located. Motivated by the gap in literature assessing these impacts, we characterized the soil hydro-physical properties and quantified surface water fluxes from catchments under contrasting land-use in t...

n this paper, we consider continuity properties(especially, regularity, also viewed as an approximation property) for $%mathcal{P}_{0}(X)$-valued set multifunctions ($X$ being a linear,topological space), in order to obtain Egoroff and Lusin type theorems forset multifunctions in the Vietoris hypertopology. Some mathematicalapplications are established and several physical implications of thema...

Ca shows an interesting high-pressure phase transformation sequence, but, despite similar physical properties at high pressure and affinity in the electronic structure with its neighbors in the periodic table, no complex phase has been identified for Ca so far. We predict an incommensurate high-pressure phase of Ca from first principle calculations and describe a procedure of estimating incomme...

Characterizing the fast evolution of microstructural defects is key to understanding "crackling" phenomena during the deformation of solid materials. For example, it has been proposed using atomistic simulations of crack propagation in elastic materials that the formation of a nonlinear hyperelastic or plastic zone around moving crack tips controls crack velocity. To date, progress in understan...
