Using an STMJHREELS system, we have investigated the relationship between the surface morphology and vibrational modes of C60 adsorbed on Cu(l11). At 300K, CGO is mobile on the Cu(ll1) terrace, but is more strongly bound at the step edge. Therefore, any C60 which adsorbs on the terrace will migrate to the step edge where it is immobilized. Thus for very low coverages, the ChO preferentially ads...

We calculate an analytical expression for the terrace-width distribution P(s) for an interacting step system with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor interactions. Our model is derived by mapping the step system onto a statistically equivalent one-dimensional system of classical particles. The validity of the model is tested with several numerical simulations and experimental results. We explore...

This paper describes the development of a scale, the Community-Oriented Programs Environment Scale (COPES), which attempts to systematically assess the psychosocial environments of transitional community-oriented psychiatric treatment programs such as halfway houses, rehabilitation centers, day care centers, and community care homes. The psychometric characteristics of the scale are given, samp...

JANE CHRISTIE DAQUIN Vicarious Victimization: Examining the Effects of Witnessing Victimization While Incarcerated on Offender Reentry (Under the direction of DR. LEAH DAIGLE) Witnessing victimization in prison is a relatively new area of research. Prison victimization research focuses on direct experiences of victimization and its attending consequences; however, studies have not focused on th...

OBJECTIVE There is no safe level of secondhand tobacco-smoke exposure, and no previous studies have explored multiunit housing as a potential contributor to secondhand tobacco-smoke exposure in children. We hypothesized that children who live in apartments have higher cotinine levels than those who live in detached homes, when controlling for demographics. METHODS We analyzed data from the 20...

traditional houses enjoy an organizing with inner spaces based on religious and traditional notions of iranian families. space flexibility, readability, introversion, spatial hierarchy and family privacy have had a special status in architecture of iranian houses, replaced with an outward-oriented architecture. the traditional architecture which has had all the necessary spaces for any communic...

We carry out Monte Carlo simulations and study the dependence of the behaviors of steps on impurities on a vicinal face. We assume that the impurities are immobile and the lifetime of them is much longer than that of adatoms. During growth, the impurities in front of a step prevent the step from advancing. If a wide terrace appears due to the fluctuations of step positions, the number of impuri...

There were 2 severe cyclones that attached the Eastern African area in 2019. Cyclone IDAI attacked Beira city central Mozambique, causing torrential rains and strong winds resulted more than 600 deaths damage of 240,000 houses. KENITH also northern part Mozambique same year. is few academic research regarding storm surge Africa even if many there. This study analyzed characteristics tropical pa...

We consider one-dimensional reaction-diffusion equations for a large class of spatially periodic nonlinearities – including multistable ones – and study the asymptotic behavior of solutions with Heaviside type initial data. Our analysis reveals some new dynamics where the profile of the propagation is not characterized by a single front, but by a layer of several fronts which we call a terrace....
