The combination of density-functional theory (DFT) calculations of geometrically fully relaxed binary alloy surfaces with concepts from statistical physics is applied to construct a DFT-based phase diagram for a binary alloy surface. As a first example, we studied the appearance of Co antisite atoms at CoAl(100) surfaces. The structural parameters as multilayer relaxations, surface buckling, la...

The author gives an algorithm to search the structure of a stochastic models with hidden variable. The author have shown the algorithm to nd the hidden structure of the Hidden Markov Model and in this article, the algorithm is applied for one of the other stochastic models which have hidden probabilistic variables.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain tumor that continues to be associated with neurological morbidity and poor survival times. Brain invasion is a fundamental property of malignant glioma cells. The Go-or-Grow (GoG) phenotype proposes that cancer cell motility and proliferation are mutually exclusive. Here, we construct and apply a single glioma cell mathematical model that includes motilit...

The connection between closed Newton-Cotes, trigonometrically-fitted differential methods and symplectic integrators is investigated in this paper. It is known from the literature that several one step symplectic integrators have been obtained based on symplectic geometry. However, the investigation of multistep symplectic integrators is very poor. Zhu et al. (1996) presented the well known ope...

We introduce and study a tactic language, Hitac, for constructing hierarchical proofs, known as hiproofs. The idea of hiproofs is to superimpose a labelled hierarchical nesting on an ordinary proof tree. The labels and nesting are used to describe the organisation of the proof, typically relating to its construction process. This can be useful for understanding and navigating the proof. Tactics...

OBJECTIVES The formation of biofilm around implants, which is induced by immediate bacterial colonization after installation, is the primary cause of post-operation infection. Initial surface modification is usually required to incorporate antibacterial agents on titanium (Ti) surfaces to inhibit biofilm formation. However, simple and effective priming methods are still lacking for the developm...

By expanding the Dirac delta function in terms of eigenfunctions corresponding Sturm–Liouville problem, we construct some new (oscillating) integral transforms. These transforms are then used to solve various finance, physics, and mathematics problems, which could be characterized by existence a multilayer spatial structure moving (time-dependent) boundaries (internal interfaces) between layers...

cofe/cu multilayer nanowires were electrodeposited into anodic aluminum oxide templates prepared by a two-step mild anodization method, using the single-bath technique. nanowires with 30 nm diameter and the definite lengths were obtained. the effect of cofe layers thickness and annealing on the magnetic behavior of the multilayer nanowires was investigated. the layers thickness was controlled t...

According to J.A.N. Lee in 1996, computer scientists “are reaching the stage of development where each new generation of participants is unaware both of their overall technological ancestry and the history of the development of their speciality, and have no past to build upon” [1, p.54]. A technically and historically accurate account, as attempted here, can help us, computer scientists, grasp ...

Common conceptions of the notions of role, relationship, and collaboration in object-oriented programming and related disciplines are briefly recalled and related to each other, working towards a view that allows it to fit them all together, eventually setting the cornerstones for the definition of a truly useful and widely accepted novel programming language construct.
