We present a first-principles scheme for incorporating many-body interactions into the unified description of quadratic optical response to light noncentrosymmetric crystals. The proposed method is based on time-dependent current-density theory and includes electron-hole attraction \textit{via} tensorial long-range exchange-correlation kernel, which we calculate self-consistently using bootstra...

One factor contributing to rainfall in a certain region is the presence of convective cloud growth. Extensive clouds can trigger extreme weather conditions and occurrence Mesoscale Convective Complex (MCC) phenomena. MCCs phenomena are characterized by circular cover with eccentricity ≥ 0.7, core area 50,000 km², 100,000 top temperature ≤ -52 °C or 221 K. This study aims identify spatial diurna...

Survey cards were distributed to the leukemic patients in the departments of internal medicine and pediatrics of hospitals in Japan from 1961 to 1965, with requests for the name, sex, type and date of onset of disease, and type and frequency of prior medical irradiation. Of 1,197 available cards collected, 49 or 4.09 per cent had a history of fluoroscopic examination and 19 or 1.59 per cent had...

PAPI is a specification of a cross-platform interface to hardware performance counters on modern microprocessors. These counters exist as a small set of registers that count events, which are occurrences of specific signals related to a processor's function. Monitoring these events has a variety of uses in application performance analysis and tuning. The PAPI specification consists of both a st...

Many graduates exit TAFE or University studies with a casual or volunteer position and a promising future. However, many more have no idea how to get that elusive dream job or to further the position they already have. As a new graduate of the TAFE Diploma of Library and Information Services, I have been a volunteer, a casual employee at four jobs (at the same time), and now aim to become an ac...

The paper addresses the issue of TCP-friendly congestion control mechanism for many-to-many communication environment. Lack of congestion control inhibits deployment of WAN applications that involve collaboration of groups of processes in the Internet environment. Recent efforts targeted unicast WAN congestion control (TFRC). We extend that approach to multicast many-tomany applications that op...
