This paper describes a model for the analysis of multilayered chiral structures containing planar electric and magnetic scattering elements of arbitrary shape, illuminated by an elliptically polarized plane wave. The particular case of a single chiral layer is analyzed and the scattering matrices for single and dual electric and/or magnetic dipole distributions are derived in an original way. A...

In language systems that support separate compilation, we often observe that header files are internalized over and over again when the source files that depend on them are compiled. Making a compiler a long-lived server eliminates such redundant processing of header files, thus reducing the compilation time. The paper first describes compilation servers for C-family languages in general, and t...

This paper summarizes Kormendy et al. (2009, ApJS, in press, arXiv:0810.1681). We confirm that spheroidal galaxies have fundamental plane correlations that are almost perpendicular to those for bulges and ellipticals. Spheroidals are not dwarf ellipticals. They are structurally similar to late-type galaxies. We suggest that they are defunct (“red and dead”) late-type galaxies transformed by a v...

Segregation patterns formed by time-periodic flow of polydisperse granular material (varying in particle size) in quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) tumblers capture the symmetries of Poincaré sections, stroboscopic maps of the underlying flow, derived from a continuum model which contains no information about particle properties. We study this phenomenon experimentally by varying the concentrati...

In this article we study a mathematical model which describes the quasi-static process of contact between piezoelectric body with long-term memory and an obstacle. The is modeled normal conformity condition version Coulom's law. evolution temperature described by first kind equation. problem formulated as system scalable elliptical variational inequalities for displacement, equality electrical ...

Composite materials are used in aeronautical, automobile, healthcare and marine industries due to their high stiffness, higher strength-to-weight ratio long fatigue life. Thin plate plays vital role manufacturing of engineering structures. Components made from composite often subjected damage while working. Buckling can cause loss stability component which subsequently leads failure the entire ...

STUDY DESIGN Technical report on cadavers. OBJECTIVE To evaluate preliminary feasibility and safety of lumbar sagittal alignment correction with anterior hyperlordotic cages used to overpower previous posterior spinal instrumentation. METHODS Hyperlordotic 30° anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) cages were inserted in collapsed L5-S1 disc space of 2 cadavers to overpower prior posterior...

Using a three-dimensional local spin-density functional method, we investigate the electronic structure of quasi two-dimensional ellipsoidal quantum dots with elliptical deformation. Changes in the electron addition energy spectra and spin polarization are investigated as a function of the number of electrons and the elliptical deformation on the lateral direction confinement potential, and com...

With the help of original mathematical method for solving Maxwell’s equations, it is shown that in dielectric waveguides along with usual and quasi-normal modes, there are perfect invisibility modes or non-scattering modes. In contrast to waveguide at eigenfrequencies light can propagate free space. The properties circular elliptical cross-sections analyzed detail. It power scattered from tends...
