Results of the recently developed unitary isobar model (MAID) are presented for the spin asymmetries, structure functions and relevant sum rules in the resonance region. The model describes the presently available data for single-pion photoand electroproduction in the resonance region below Wcm = 2 GeV very well. It is based on Born terms and resonance contributions, and the respective multipol...

Previous work developed to predict the outcome of patients in the context of intensive care units brought to the light some requirements like the need to deal with distributed data sources. Those data sources can be used to induce local prediction models, and those models can in turn be used to induce global models more accurate and more general than the local models. This chapter introduces a ...

Abstract. In recent years, the amount of water used for agricultural purposes has been rising due to an increase in food demand. However, anthropogenic usage, such as irrigation, is still not or poorly parameterized regional- and larger-scale land surface models (LSMs). By contrast, satellite observations are directly affected by, hence potentially able detect, irrigation they sense entire inte...

Transparent conducting ZnO:F was deposited as thin films on soda lime glass substrates by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) deposition at substrate temperatures of 480–500 C. The precursors diethylzinc, tetramethylethylenediamine and benzoyl fluoride were dissolved in xylene. The solution was nebulized ultrasonically and then flash vaporized by a carrier gas of nitrogen prehe...

We analyze the dynamics of a valence electron of the buckminsterfullerene molecule (C60) subjected to a circularly polarized laser field by modeling it with the motion of a classical particle in an annular billiard. We show that the phase space of the billiard model gives rise to three distinct trajectories: "whispering gallery orbits," which hit only the outer billiard wall; "daisy orbits," wh...

Mini-channel (D = 2.54 mm) and micro-channel (D = 510 pm) heat sinks with a 1-cm heated surface were tested for their high heat flux performance with flow boiling ofR-113. Experimental results yielded CHF values in excess of 200 W cm~ for flow rates less than 95 ml min~ (0.025 gpm) over a range of inlet subcooling from 10 to 32° C. Heat diffusion within the heat sink was analyzed to ascertain t...

A laser ion source using a CO2 laser focused onto a solid target is under study at CERN for the production of high currents of highly-charged heavy ions, for possible use in the pre-injector for LHC. A new expansion and extraction layout was installed in this test facility, improving the alignment and making the target to extraction distance more flexible. A two solenoid beam transport system w...

Schulze’s rule is used in the elections of a large number of organizations including Wikimedia and Debian. Part of the reason for its popularity is the large number of axiomatic properties, like monotonicity and Condorcet consistency, which it satisfies. We identify a potential shortcoming of Schulze’s rule: it is computationally vulnerable to manipulation. In particular, we prove that computin...

Biomass materials are promising precursors for the production of carbonaceous materials due to their abundance, low cost and renewability. Here, a freestanding wrinkled carbon membrane (WCM) electrode material for flexible supercapacitors (SCs) was obtained from flower petal. The carbon membrane was fabricated by a simple thermal pyrolysis process and further activated by heating the sample in ...
