Measurements of the proton momentum distribution n(p) in water from ambient conditions to above the supercritical point are compared with theoretical calculations based on a recently developed polarizable water model. The n(p) along the H-bond direction is narrower in the dense phases, and approaches that of the isolated molecule in the more dilute phases. The theoretical model, which includes ...

We construct near-infrared to visible broad band NICMOS/WFPC color maps for 4 early-type Seyfert galaxies with S-shaped or one-sided ionization cones. We find that dust lanes are near or connected to many of the features seen in the [OIII] and Hα+[NII] line emission maps. This suggests that much of the structure of line emission in these ionization cones is determined by the distribution of amb...

Previous work has demonstrated that the HbS gene has appeared and expanded three times in Africa in three separate geographic locations and that these three distinct mutational events can be identified by linked DNA polymorphic sites (haplotypes) surrounding the abnormal gene. We have reported that the Senegalese and Beninian haplotypes differ in G,., , expression. mean percentage of HbF. and p...

A new approach for estimating the Decoding ErrorProbability (DEP) of LT codes with dense rows is derived by using the conditional Kovalenko’s rank distribution. The estimate by the proposed approach is very close to the DEP approximated by Gaussian Elimination, and is significantly less complex. As a key application, we utilize the estimates for obtaining optimal LT codes with dense rows, whose...

Satellite remote sensing retrieval has shown excellent competence at retrieving the aerosol distribution and properties comparing with traditional detection. The extended dark dense vegetation (DDV) algorithm for MODIS data was used widely all over the world. However, whether this algorithm can be transferred to high reflectivity areas of China is not known yet, especially in urban area and its...

Quantum entanglement is known to enable otherwise impossible feats in various communication protocols, such as quantum key distribution and super-dense coding. Here we describe efforts to further enhance the usual benefits, by incorporating quantum states that are simultaneously entangled in multiple degrees of freedom – “hyperentangled”. Via the process of spontaneous parametric down conversio...

Today, in industrialised countries the energy distribution networks are structured like shown in Fig. 1. Large centralised power plants feed into a dense distribution network. In the future, this structure will face numerous problems, because it is not flexible regarding the relocation of primary energy sources, the optimisation of energy flows and energy costs. Within a deregulated energy mark...
