Traditional Artificial Neural Networks have proven their worth since they were first developed, but they have also proven to be very inflexible in certain situations. Nevertheless, development in neurological research has allowed us to take those networks a step further and produce an architecture based on the role biological hormones have in the neural system. Three sets of experiments were pe...

The ion induced desorption is a severe luminosity limitation for low charge state heavy ion accelerators. Thus it was intensively investigated in dedicated experiments during the last years. It was shown that the ion induced desorption is a surface effect with a strong link to the substrate [1]. The overall quantity of desorbed gas during long term irradiation is always in the range of a monola...

2 [1] There is good evidence that higher global temperatures will promote a rise of greenhouse gas levels, implying a positive feedback which will increase the effect of anthropogenic emissions on global temperatures. However, the magnitude of this effect predicted by the available models remains highly uncertain, due to the accumulation of uncertainties in the processes thought to be involved....
