Homodyne photon correlation spectroscopy is used to measure the velocity difference delta v (l) over varying distance l. Different length scales are probed when the magnification factor M and the width S of a slit in the collecting optics are varied. The measured intensity autocorrelation function is found to be of scaling form for different values of M, provided S is kept at a value below the ...

We consider the nonlinear biharmonic Schr\"odinger equation $$i\partial_tu+(\Delta^2+\mu\Delta)u+f(u)=0,\qquad (\text{BNLS})$$ in critical Sobolev space $H^s(\R^N)$, where $N\ge1$, $\mu=0$ or $-1$, $0<s<\min\{\fc N2,8\}$ and $f(u)$ is a function that behaves like $\lambda\left|u\right|^{\alpha}u$ with $\lambda\in\mathbb{C},\alpha=\frac{8}{N-2s}$. prove existence uniqueness of global solutions t...

The differential reflection phase shift, Delta = delta(p) - delta(s), associated with the external reflection of monochromatic light at the surface of an absorbing medium is a monotonically decreasing function of the angle of incidence ø which is determined by the complex dielectric function epsilon. A new special angle of incidence, denoted by ø(Delta'max), is defined at which the slope Delta'...

The effect of the protein matrix on the standard potential of a buried redox center has been investigated by using a selection of mutants and chemical derivatives in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cytochrome c isoform 1. Assuming only local structural perturbation and no alteration of the iron-ligation chemistry, Delta E(m)(0)' can be regarded as a measure of the difference in polypeptide solvation o...

Experimental studies of capillary-dominated displacements in variable-aperture fractures have demonstrated the occurrence of a satiated state at the end of invasion, where significant entrapment of the displaced phase occurs. The structure of this entrapped phase controls the behavior of flow and transport processes in the flowing phase. Recent studies have shown that the areal saturation of th...

Friedreich's ataxia is caused by a deficit in frataxin, a small mitochondrial protein of unknown function that has been conserved during evolution. Previous studies have pointed out a role for frataxin in mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) metabolism. Here, we have analyzed the incorporation of Fe-S clusters into yeast ferredoxin imported into isolated energized mitochondria from cells grown in t...

In this article, we investigate the existence, uniqueness, nonexistence, and regularity of weak solutions to nonlinear fractional elliptic problem type (P) (see below) involving singular nonlinearity weights in smooth bounded domain. We prove existence solution $$W_{loc}^{s,p}(\Omega )$$ via approximation method. Establishing a new comparison principle independent interest, uniqueness for $$0 \...

Revised delta(34)S reference values with associated expanded uncertainties (95% confidence interval (C.I.)) are presented for the sulfur isotope reference materials IAEA-S-2 (22.62 +/- 0.16 per thousand) and IAEA-S-3 (-32.49 +/- 0.16 per thousand). These revised values are determined using two relative-difference measurement techniques, gas source isotope ratio mass spectrometry (GIRMS) and dou...
