This paper describes the Advanced Forensic Format (AFF), which is designed as an alternative to current proprietary disk image formats. AFF offers two significant benefits. First, it is more flexible because it allows extensive metadata to be stored with images. Second, AFF images consume less disk space than images in other formats (e.g., EnCase images). This paper also describes the Advanced ...

We study the existential closures of several propositional languages L considered recently as target languages for knowledge compilation (KC), namely the incomplete fragments KROM-C, HORN-C, K/H-C, renH-C, AFF, and the corresponding disjunction closures KROM-C[∨], HORN-C[∨], K/H-C[∨], renH-C[∨], and AFF[∨]. We analyze the queries, transformations, expressiveness and succinctness of the resultin...

Following the theoretical suggestion [2], we have demonstrated a new method to create vortices in Bose-Einstein condensates. Vortices were imprinted into the condensate wavefunction using topological phases. Sodium condensates held in an Ioffe-Pritchard magnetic trap were transformed from a non-rotating state to one with quantized circulation by adiabatically inverting the magnetic bias field a...

The Bacillus subtilis trpEDCFBA operon is regulated by a transcription attenuation mechanism controlled by the trp RNA-binding attenuation protein (TRAP). TRAP binds to 11 (G/U)AG repeats in the trp leader transcript and prevents formation of an antiterminator, which allows formation of an intrinsic terminator (attenuator). Previously, formation of the attenuator RNA structure was believed to b...

Recent studies of charge trapping and charge transport in polymer lms irradiated and charged with monoenergetic electrons of range smaller than the sample thickness and thereafter stored or annealed under various conditions are discussed. An analytical model used to describe the phenomena takes the following parameters into consideration: Charge and energy deposition pro les, charge drift due t...

INTRODUCTION Growing evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may be associated with the pathophysiology underlying schizophrenia (SZ). Some studies indicate that nutritional supplements offer protection from OS, but there is no data about the effect of a hypocaloric diet on OS in this population. Therefore, we aimed to study the effect of a hypocaloric dietary intervention on OS in subject...

Starting from a degenerate Bose gas in hybrid trap combining magnetic quadrupole and an attractive optical resulting focused laser beam, we demonstrate the efficient loading of this quantum into shell-shaped trap. The shell is purely relies on adiabatic potentials for atoms inhomogeneous field dressed by radiofrequency (rf) field. We show that direct rf evaporation enables simple preparation co...

In the following paper, we discuss new methods to trap and manipulate airborne liquid aerosol droplets. We discuss the single gradient force trapping of water aerosols in the 2-14 micron diameter range using both 532 nm and 1064 nm light, as well as the holographic optical trapping of arrays of aerosols. Using this holographic technique, we are able to show controlled aerosol coagulation. We al...
