Abstract: Local flux may be distorted in many regions of core, although total flux is usually sinusoidal. When attempting to predict the loss distribution in materials operating under localized distorted flux conditions, which occur in machines and transformer cores, it is essential that proper account of the waveform be taken. Moreover for development of new magnetic materials and generation ...

Well ordered two-dimensional sheets of intact 70 S ribosomes from Bacillus stearothermophilus have been obtained in vitro using salt-alcohol mixtures. These sheets consist of relatively small unit cells with dimensions of 200 +/- 20 A and 400 +/- 30 A. Diffraction patterns of electron micrographs of these sheets stained with uranyl acetate contain features to 42 A resolution.

We examine the holography bound suggested by Bousso in his covariant entropy conjecture, and argue that it is violated because his notion of light sheet is too generous. We suggest its replacement by a weaker bound.

South Africa is an important country within the continent of Africa. Its full adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2005 for listed firms is unique. In this paper, I study the effects of IFRS adoption on accounting quality. I define accounting quality as earnings quality and value relevance, and hypothesize that both will increase post IFRS adoption. In a variety of ...

When a dataset involves multiple classes, there is often a need to express the key contrasting features among these classes in humanly understandable terms, that is, to pro"le the classes. Commonly, one class is contrasted from the rest by aggregating the latter into a pseudo-class; alternatively, classes are treated separately without coordinating their pro"les with those of the other classes....
