An improved quasistatic model is used to describe the ionization process of atoms in intense linearly polarized fields. Numerical calculations of AboveThreshold-Ionization (ATI) energy spectra and photoelectron angular distributions (PAD) of hydrogen atoms reveal clearly plateau and side lobe structures, which are in good agreement with recent ATI experiments. Our results show that, the existen...

Mammals exhibit two epigenetic phenomena whose consequence is the silencing of one of two wild-type copies of a gene X chromosome inactivation in females and parental imprinting of selected autosomal genes. As the mechanisms underlying these forms of gene dosage control are being elucidated, some striking similarities between them are being revealed. Of these similarities, none is more curious ...

We have constructed a framework for analyzing passenger behaviors in public transportation systems as understanding these variables is a key to improving the efficiency of public transportation. It uses a large-scale dataset of trip records created from smart card data to estimate passenger flows in a complex metro network. Its interactive flow visualization function enables various unusual phe...

We studied the nerve fibers of the human mandibular nerve using edentulous jaw cadavers. We made nitrocellulose sections and stained them with Goto's modification of Masson-Goldner's method in order to evaluate the nerve fibers using an image-analyzer. The results showed an unusual feature: a sudden increase of axonal areas during the decade of the 80s followed by a sharp return to previous lev...

There is universality in the transactional-transformational leadership paradigm. That is, the same conception of phenomena and relationships can be observed in a wide range of organizations and cultures. Exceptions can be understood as a consequence of unusual attributes of the organizations or cultures. Three corollaries are discussed. Supportive evidence has been gathered in studies conducted...

The unusual features of quantum mechanics are enabling the development of technologies not possible with classical physics. These devices utilize nonclassical phenomena in the states of atoms, ions, and solid-state media as the basis for many prototypes. Here we investigate molecular states as a distinct alternative. We demonstrate a memory for light based on storing photons in the vibrations o...

Recent magneto-transport experiments on high mobility two-dimensional electron systems have provided strong evidence that a new class of collective electronic states exists at high Landau level occupancy. Among the phenomena observed are strongly anisotropic resistances near half-®lling and curious re-entrant integer quantum Hall states in the ̄anks of high Landau levels. These results have bee...

We describe the first detailed experimental characterization of surface adsorption of an aqueous ion pair and quantify the unusual surface behavior of sodium nitrite, a ubiquitous component of natural waters. The onset of unusually strong adsorption at concentrations as low as ca. 0.1 M resembles the controversial ‘Jones–Ray Effect,’ wherein 13 salts exhibited surface tension minima in the mill...

Our endeavors are devoted to the explanation of the nature of the magnetic relaxation phenomena in the herein prepared [Mn(II)5(HPO4)2(PO4)2(H2O)4]n (1). The behavior investigation indicates the prominence of the half-occupied magnetic centers and the competence of the antiferromagnetic interactions and non-zero magnetic moments. The investigation suggests that the design and synthesis of unusu...

A second order linear scalar diierential equation including a zero-th order term is approximated using rst the standard Galerkin method enriched with bubble functions. Static condensation of the bubbles suggest an unusual stabilized nite element method for which we establish a convergence study and obtain successful numerical simulations. The method is generalized to allow for a convection oper...
