Complete physical processes contributing to the shape of the depth-dose distribution and the so-called Bragg peak of proton beams passing through liquid water are given. Height, width and depth of the Bragg...

This is a short note to acknowledge the successful operation of a 140-cm drift liquid argon TPC built in the framework of the ICARUS experiment. We show few cosmic muon tracks crossing the whole drift volume from the wire planes to the cathode. Data were taken at drift "elds of 450 and 500 V/cm. ( 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

We show that the following elementary geometric properties of the motion of a discrete (i.e. piecewise linear) curve select the integrable dynamics of the Ablowitz-Ladik hierarchy of evolution equations: i) the set of points describing the discrete curve lie in the sphere S; ii) the distance between any two subsequent points does not vary in time; iii) the dynamics does not depend explicitly on...

In conjunction with the Free-Air-CO2-Enrichment (FACE) project, a new, physiologically based, mechanistic, modular simulation model of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) physiology, growth, development, yield and water use has been constructed. It is named COTCO2 for cotton response to atmospheric CO 2 concentration. The model is capable of predicting cotton crop responses to elevated atmospheric C...

Free electron lasers (FELs) have until now been limited to the infrared, visible and near UV part of the electromagnetic spectrum . Recent progress in FEL physics and technology is changing this situation, and an effort is now under way to design and build FELs operating at wavelengths shorter than 100 nm . Three main avenues are being followed to reach this goal : FELs oscillators based on sto...

Muito embora tenham sido dados à estampa alguns estudos sobre as especificidades da linguagem do género literário Romanceiro, constatamos que esses se debruçam maioritariamente aspetos como a presença e importância das fórmulas, inversões ordem linear dos itens lexicais nas frases, maior frequência de diálogo em detrimento narração, alternâncias tempos verbais o estilo. Na realidade, estudo rel...
