Two-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of background turbulence on 2D resistive magnetic reconnection are presented. For sufficiently small values of the resistivity (η) and moderate values of the turbulent power ( ), the reconnection rate is found to have a much weaker dependence on η than the Sweet-Parker scaling of η and is even consistent with an η-independent value. For a give...

PURPOSE To study the tomographic and pathomorphologic features of dome-shaped maculas with swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN Prospective, cross-sectional study. METHODS The macular area of 51 highly myopic eyes (35 patients) with dome-shaped maculas was studied with swept-source OCT at 1050 nm. Three-dimensional (3-D) data sets were obtained with raster scanning coveri...

Geo-electrical resistivity techniques have been employed in the High Barind as a reconnaissance investigation for the subsurface lithology. Out of 13 upazillas, comprising the Barind tract, Sapahar and Porsha Upazillas, situated in the High Barind are badly affected by water shortage. Vertical electrical soundings (VES) were executed using Schlumberger configuration in different areas taking th...

The diffusion of a gas through a substance in which it is soluble is analogous to the passage of electric current through a circuit with both capacitance and resistance. We model steady-state diffusion employing this analogy, and extend the model to include a description of the kinetics of systems under circumstances of changing partial pressure, applying two physical constants from electrical ...

AIMS Human action potentials in the Brugada syndrome have been characterized by delayed or even complete loss of dome formation, especially in the right ventricular epicardial layers. Such a repolarization pattern is believed to trigger phase-2 reentry (P2R); however, little is known about the conditions necessary for its initiation. This study aims to determine the specific mechanisms that fac...

The quasiskutterudite superconductor Sr_{3}Rh_{4}Sn_{13} features a pronounced anomaly in electrical resistivity at T^{*}∼138  K. We show that the anomaly is caused by a second-order structural transition, which can be tuned to 0 K by applying physical pressure and chemical pressure via the substitution of Ca for Sr. A broad superconducting dome is centered around the structural quantum critica...

In this paper, we present a Trace Based framework for managing and transforming traces of observation and use of real life objects. Considering trace based systems as Digital Object Memories (DOMe), we describe how our framework can be used to manage DOMe, using trace models and transformations to raise the abstraction level of traces and infer useful knowledge. To demonstrate our approach, we ...

We propose a new mechanism for surface-induced magnetic anisotropy to explain the thickness dependence of the Kondo resistivity of thin films of dilute magnetic alloys. The surface anisotropy energy, generated by spin-orbit coupling on the magnetic impurity itself, is an oscillating function of the distance d from the surface and decays as 1/d2. Numerical estimates based on simple models sugges...
