not all values of literary texts should be sought for in their artistic aspects . there have been many lower-ranked literary texts that have shed light on numerous scientific, historical, social, and cultural issues. although poetic views are involved while raising such issues, it needs to be taken into account that not all poets have perceived the scientific principles of the topics tackled in...

Abstract We present a protocol that detects molecular conformational changes with two nitroxide electron-spin labels and nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. More specifically, we demonstrate the NV can detect energy shifts induced by coupling between labels. The relies on judicious application of microwave radiofrequency pulses range parameters ensures stable resonances. Furthermore, our s...

Nested simplicial meshes generated by the simplicial bisection decomposition proposed by Maubach [Mau95] have been widely used in 2D and 3D as multi-resolution models of terrains and three-dimensional scalar fields, They are an alternative to octree representation since they allow generating crack-free representations of the underlying field. On the other hand, this method generates conforming ...

The sensitivity of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) depends strongly on nuclear spin polarisation and, motivated by this observation, dynamical nuclear spin polarisation has recently been applied to enhance MRI protocols (Kurhanewicz, J., et al., Neoplasia 13, 81 (2011)). Nuclear spins associated with the C carbon isotope (nuclear spin I = 1/2) in diamond possess uniquely long spin lattice rela...

ÐHoneycomb and diamond networks have been proposed as alternatives to mesh and torus architectures for parallel processing. When wraparound links are included in honeycomb and diamond networks, the resulting structures can be viewed as having been derived via a systematic pruning scheme applied to the links of 2D and 3D tori, respectively. The removal of links, which is performed along a diagon...

Diamond-search-pattern-based motion estimation algorithms, such as Motion Vector Field Adaptive Search Technique (MVFAST) and Advanced Diamond Zonal Search (ADZS), has been proposed recently to reduce the complexity of the motion estimation. However, there is no efficient hardware implementation for this new class of algorithms. Previously proposed architectures for block-based motion estimatio...

The Ultra-nanocrystalline diamond (UNCD) was synthesized by the detonation of a high explosive mixture in water confinement. The presence of a diamond phase was revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray line broadening (XRLB) was used to evaluate the peak profiles of diamond nanoparticles and their corresponding average crystallite sizes. The micro st...

We report the discovery of vertically aligned nano-scale diamond tips grown on the polycrystalline diamond substrates in a CH4/N2/H2 mixed plasma. The best diamond quality occurs at the top part of the nanotip, which is single crystalline diamond. The quality of the diamond nanotip is justified by the diamond characteristic peak at 1332 cm 1 in the Raman spectrum, the discrete electron diffract...

Despite decades of research on high-level loop optimizations and their successful integration in production C/C++/FORTRAN compilers, most compiler internal loop transformation systems only partially address the challenges posed by the increased complexity and diversity of today’s hardware. Especially when exploiting domain specific knowledge to obtain optimal code for complex targets such as ac...
