Tungsten-containing amorphous carbon films were produced by dual magnetron sputter deposition. The formation of carbide phases after heat treatment in inert gas at temperatures up to 2800 K was investigated by X-ray diffraction for tungsten concentrations below 25 at%. After deposition, each film consists of an amorphous carbon matrix with atomically dispersed W inclusions. Annealing up to 2800...

We search for dual gauge theories of all-loop finite, N = 1 supersymmetric gauge theories. It is shown how to find explicitly the dual gauge theories of almost all chiral, N = 1, allloop finite gauge theories, while several models have been discussed in detail, including a realistic finite SU(5) unified theory. Out of our search only one all-loop, N = 1 finite SO(10) theory emerges, so far, as ...

By performing a comprehensive study on 1832 segments of 1212 complete genomes of viruses, we show that in viral genomes the hairpin structures of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures are more abundant than expected under a simple random null hypothesis. The detected hairpin structures of RNA secondary structures are present both in coding and in noncoding regions for the four gr...

The Church of the Holy Sign Haghpat monastery was built and painted by Bagratids. From this early layer murals only very small fragments have been preserved. During second rise under Zacharids, when Armenian-Chalcedonian community on rise, there a demand for new frescoes, which were executed in two stages. Under patronage Zakare, as sign loyalty to Orthodox, Armenian-Chalcedonians invited decor...
