High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on an underdoped (La(2-x)Srx)CuO4 system show that, at energies below 70 meV, the quasiparticle peak is well defined around the (pi/2,pi/2) nodal region and disappears rather abruptly when the momentum is changed from the nodal point to the (pi,0) antinodal point along the underlying "Fermi surface." It indicates that there is an extra l...

We study the ray optics of glenses, ideal thin lenses generalised to have different objectand image-sided focal lengths, and the most general light-ray-direction-changing surfaces that stigmatically image any point in object space to a corresponding point in image space. Gabor superlenses [Gabor, UK Patent 541,753 (1940); Hembd-Sölner et al., J. Opt. A: Pure Appl. Opt. 1, 94 (1999)] can be seen...

We study the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) superconducting state in the disordered systems. We analyze the microscopic model, in which the dwave superconductivity is stabilized near the antiferromagnetic quantum critical point, and investigate two kinds of disorder, namely, box disorder and point disorder, on the basis of the Bogoliubov-deGennes (BdG) equation. The spatial structure of...

10-14 regional lymph nodes, nodal staging in stage III colorectal cancer, which is solely based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes, would be inaccurate in certain circumstances. Recently, the metastatic lymph-node ratio has been suggested as an alternative tool for nodal staging in stage III colorectal cancer [2-4]. Also, after preoperative chemoradiation therapy in rectal cancer patients,...

The influence of explant nodal positions on the in vitro shoot growth and proliferation were studied in the two rose cvs. ‘Bianca’ and ‘El Torro’. Third, fourth and fifth nodal explants were cultured on the modified MS medium supplemented with 1.0 and 5.0 mg/l BA. In both the cultivars, higher rate of proliferation (‘Bianca’ 3.75; ‘El Torro’ 2.65) were obtained from the explants distal to the a...

Magnetoelastic sensors as an important type of acoustic wave sensors have shown great promise for a variety of applications. Mass sensitivity is a key parameter to characterize its performance. In this work, the effects of mass load distribution on the mass sensitivity of a magnetoelastic sensor under different resonance modes were theoretically investigated using the modal analysis method. The...

Given a nonlinear infinite resistive network, an operating point can be determined by approximating the network by finite networks obtained by shorting together various infinite sets of nodes, and then taking a limit of the nodal potential functions of the finite networks. Initially, by taking a completion of the node set of the infinite network under a metric given by the resistances, limit po...

Recently, the efficiency of computer modeling and simulations has been improving dramatically. Consequently, the structural analysis of welding phenomena based on thermaleelasticeplastic finite element method (FEM) can be performedwith a good accuracy in a short time. However, if themodel to be analyzed is large and it has a complex shape, problemsmight occur with preprocessing, such as themesh...

We performed thermoelectric Hall conductivity ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{xy}$ measurements on single-crystal graphite in the quantum limit up to 13 T. Both electrical and transport were same crystal extract pure ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{xy}$, avoiding any sample quality dependence. The converges a plateau with linear dependence temperature. This behavior is analogous quantized effect (QTHE) observe...
