Reported here are both STM images and spatially resolved tunneling spectra of four different polyoxometalate (POM) structural class members: Keggin structure, H(3)[PW(12)O(40)] (spherical); Finke-Droege (FD) structure, Na(16)[Cu(4)(H(2)O)(2)(P(2)W(15)O(56))(2)] (prolate spheroidal); Wells-Dawson (WD) structure, H(7)[P(2)Mo(17)VO(62)] (prolate spheroidal); and Pope-Jeannin-Preyssler (PJP) struct...

Spheroidal and fritted particles of three size classes from closein fallout samples collected from Small Boy were separated by hand. Analysis of spheroidal and fritted groups fror the > lU00-u and the 35O-7OO-U size classes showed that spheroidal particles had higher specific activities than the fritted particles; however this difference was less pronounced for the smaller size groups. Contrary...

In this paper, we jointly consider the inhomogeneity and spatial dimension in large scale wireless networks. We study the effects of topology on the throughput capacity. This problem is inherently difficult since it is complex to handle the interference caused by simultaneous transmission. To solve this problem, we, according to the inhomogeneity of topology, divide the transmission into intra-...

From the photometric results presented in this communication it appears that contrary to some earlier indications the open spirals, with their supergiant stars and superficial structure of spiral arms, are not appreciably larger than spheroidal galaxies, which seem to be devoid of highly luminous stars and free of distributional irregularities. It follows that if in the course of time spiral ar...

Galaxies exhibit a sequence of various morphological types, i.e., the Hubble sequence, and they are basically composed of spheroidal components (elliptical galaxies and bulges in spiral galaxies) and disks. It is known that spheroidal components are found only in relatively massive galaxies with M = 10M⊙, and all stellar populations in them are very old, but there is no clear explanation for th...

The newly formed generative cell of the pollen grain of the African blood lily is spheroidal after its detachment from the pollen wall. Plastids are almost always excluded from the generative cell, while dictyosomes, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and microtubules are present throughout development of the cell. During the time that the generative cell is spheroidal, microtubule...

Pollen morphology and the degree of pollen variability within nine species and two varieties of Oxalis species from Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) were studied using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oxalis pollen grain is generally 3-colpate and the shape is prolate spheroidal, oblate spheroidal or spheroidal. The exine is ...

The motion of an incompressible, viscous rotating fluid contained in a spheroidal container is studied by a direct numerical simulation in an oblate spheroidal coordinate system. An appropriate formalism is first derived which allows us to expand any scalar field in spherical harmonics and to decompose any vector field into its sphero-poloidal and sphero-toroidal scalar parts. The spinover mode...

This paper deals with a dynamical system that generalizes the Kepler-Coulomb system and the Hartmann system. It is shown that the Schrödinger equation for this generalized KeplerCoulomb system can be separated in prolate spheroidal coordinates. The coefficients of the interbasis expansions between three bases (spherical, parabolic and spheroidal) are studied in detail. It is found that the coef...

A study of almost 1000 outpatients at a London eye hospital showed the presence of asymptomatic yellowish, spheroidal deposits in the peripheral cornea or conjunctiva, or both, in about 6 per cent, with a preponderance of males and older subjects among those affected. This prevalence is less than is observed in people in countries exposed to higher levels of sunlight. Histological study of the ...
