Mimicking the agile gecko, with its uncanny ability to run up walls and across ceilings, has long been a goal of materials scientists. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Akron have taken one sticky step in the right direction, creating synthetic “gecko tape” with four times the sticking power of the real thing. The researchers describe a process for making pol...

Stat 200 C STAT 200 C : Review of Linear Algebra

Definition A vector whose elements are stacked vertically is known as a column vector, or simply a vector. Its transpose is called a row vector. λ 1 x 1 + · · · + λ k x k = 0 In other words, they are linearly dependent if at least one of them can be written as a linear combination of the others. Definition A set of vectors are called linearly independent if they are not linearly dependent. are ...

We investigate the production of e + e − pairs from p + Be and nucleus-nucleus collisions from 2 GeV/A to 200 GeV/A within a covariant transport approach and focus on the dilepton angular anisotropies as a function of the dilepton invariant mass. Whereas the low mass regime yields information about the Dalitz decays of the ∆, η and ω, above M ≈0.5 GeV the angular anisotropies provide additional...
