The evolution and annealing of pores in, and the crystallization of, vapor-deposited films of amorphous solid water have been studied by using variable-energy positron annihilation spectroscopy for temperatures in the range 50-150 K. Both positron and positronium annihilation provide insight to the nature of the grown-in pores and their evolution with temperature. Crystallization of the films w...

Almost all of biological tissues are viscoelastic and their viscoelastic mechanical properties are important in their characteristic functions. This is because constituents of tissues  cells, extracellular matrices, structural proteins, and so on  are viscoelastic. Even hard tissues have been shown to be viscoelastic. For long, main sample material for investigating the viscoelasticity has be...

The paper demonstrates the pulse mechanism of physical sputtering taking into account evolution surface. model is based on pulsed energy transfer in collision cascades. main feature consideration surface roughness. results numerical simulation qualitatively coincide with those observed experiments. It shown that angular dependences calculated framework this have closer values yields to experime...

Amorphous computing considers the problem of controlling millions of spatially distributed unreliable devices which communicate only with nearby neighbors. To program such a system, we need a highlevel description language for desired global behaviors, and a system to compile such descriptions into locally executing code which robustly creates and maintains the desired global behavior. I survey...
