The spontaneous pedestal formation above a power threshold at the edge of
magnetically confined plasma is modelled for the first time in flux driven

Cosmological simulations are the key tool for investigating the different
processes involved in the formation of the universe from small initial density
perturbations to galaxies and clusters of galaxies observed today. The

Breaks frequently
I love all of the colors I received and being able to choose which band I want to use. The price of the bands was amazing, however, I find that the plastic piece that connects to the Fitbit Alta breaks frequently. Sometimes the band lasts me a couple months and other times I feel like I’m replaceing ... |
Forgiveness and Love
What do you do when heartache as a 10th grade teenager is thrown into adult life? Plus, what if that heartache was caused by your best friend who you would still do anything for? Anna Lynn was thrown into, by choice, this as her norm. The only thing both can do is seek the truth and let forgivenes... |
The origin of x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Cu L2,3 edge in
YBa2Cu3O7/La(1-x)Ca(x)MnO3 superlattices is revealed by performing
first-principle electronic structure calculation using fully-relativistic
spin-polarized linear muffin-tin orbital and projected augmented plane wave
methods. We show that t... |
We have investigated the magnetic and dielectric properties of
Ca$_2$CoSi$_2$O$_7$ crystal. The dielectricity and magnetism of
Ca$_2$CoSi$_2$O$_7$ are strongly coupled below a canted antiferromagnetic
transition temperature ($T_{\rm N}$): Magnetic fields induce electric
polarization below $T_{\rm N}$. Interestingly, ... |
The adjoint horizontal differential and co-differential operators and a
horizontal Laplacian are defined on a Finsler manifold. These operators yield a
natural definition for harmonic $p$-forms on a Finsler manifold in the sense
that a horizontal p-form is harmonic if and only if the horizontal Laplacian
vanishes. Th... |
Algorithms often have tunable parameters that impact performance metrics such
as runtime and solution quality. For many algorithms used in practice, no

The Women (2008) by Diane English is sadly such a waste of talent.

It is well known that interstellar travel is bounded by the finite speed of
light, but on very large scales any rocketeer would also need to consider the

We report on the energy-resolved timing and phase-resolved spectral analysis
of X-ray emission from PSR J0659+1414 observed with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR. We

continuum, which sh... |

Recent theory has predicted large temperature differences between the

We report mid-infrared observations of SGR 1806-20 and its environment - with

Great for healing tattoos
This is the best cream I have found for new tattoos. I’d originally purchased it after a face peel at a spa. It worked so well I decided to try it on my tattoo instead of the heavy oily aquaphor. My tattoos heal faster and itch a lot less. |
Incremental computation has recently been studied using the concepts of
change structures and derivatives of programs, where the derivative of a

We generalise change structures to change actions, and study their algebraic

Colloidal gels, where nanoscale particles aggregate into an elastic yet

We use official data for all 16 federal German states to study the causal

We present a \MF{terahertz} quantum cascade laser operating on a

From the Modularity Theorem proven by Wiles, Taylor, et al, we know that all
elliptic curves are modular. It has been shown by Martin and Ono exactly which
are represented by eta-quotients, and some examples of elliptic curves
represented by modular forms that are linear combinations of eta-quotients have
been given ... |
We explore two-dimensional sigma models with (0,2) supersymmetry through
their chiral algebras. Perturbatively, the chiral algebras of (0,2) models have
a rich infinite-dimensional structure described by the cohomology of a sheaf of
chiral differential operators. Nonperturbatively, instantons can deform this
structur... |
An existing hybrid MPI-OpenMP scheme is augmented with a CUDA-based fine

Until now, most members of the Ursa Major (UMa) group of stars have been
identified by means of kinematic criteria. However, in many cases kinematic
criteria alone are insufficient to ascertain, whether an individual star is
really a member of this group. Since photometric criteria are ineffective in
the case of cool... |
Given an upward directed set $I$ we consider surjective $I$-inverse systems
$\{X_\al,f_{\al\be}:X_\be\lra X_\al| \al\leq\be\in I\}$, namely those inverse
systems that have all $f_{\al\be}$ surjective. A number of properties of
$I$-inverse systems have been investigated; such are the Mittag-Leffler

We examine the nature and statistical properties of electron-electron
collisions in the recollision process in a strong laser field. The separation

In distributed software-defined networks (SDN), multiple physical SDN

We present a unified general method for the asymptotic study of graphs from

It is known that the Langevin dynamics used in MCMC is the gradient flow of

Terrestrial planets covered globally with thick oceans (termed ocean planets)

This work is concerned with robust filtering of nonlinear sampled-data

considered, Lipsch... |

We consider continuum one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with potentials

In this paper, a novel signature of human action recognition, namely the
