The widespread appeal of frame taxonomies seems due to how closely they match our intuitions about how to structure the world (as illustrated in folk taxonomies, for example). They also suggest enticing directions for processing (inheritance, defaults, etc.) and have found applications in other areas of computer science, such as database management and object-oriented programming. While the bas...

The dissociation of diacetyl dilute in krypton has been studied in a shock tube using laser schlieren densitometry at 1200-1800 K and reaction pressures of 55 +/- 2, 120 +/- 3, and 225 +/- 5 Torr. The experimentally determined rate coefficients show falloff and an ab initio/Master Equation/VRC-TST analysis was used to determine pressure-dependent rate coefficient expressions that are in good ag...

A quasi-homogeneous liquid krypton electromagnetic calorimeter is under construction for a precision study of CP violation in neutral kaons decays. The main characteristics of the detector are discussed, together with results on energy, space and time resolution obtained with a prototype detector.

We have employed the quartz-crystal microbalance technique to measure the sliding friction of krypton films physisorbed on gold. By slowly increasing the amplitude of the substrate oscillations, we have observed a sharp transition from a film locked to the substrate to a sliding one. This transition is characterized by hysteresis both in dissipation and inertial mass as the amplitude is decreas...

PURPOSE To evaluate in a retrospective study the long-term usefulness of red 647 nm krypton and 670 nm diode laser for transscleral contact cyclophotocoagulation (CPC) in the treatment of therapy-resistant inflammatory glaucoma. METHODS The authors treated 48 eyes of 38 consecutive patients (mean age 36.8 years, range 6-81 years) with therapy-resistant inflammatory glaucoma secondary to chron...

The manuscript reports a study of Kr ion implantation in a Zn target in the 10-50 keV energy range at different source parameters, which combines experimental data and simulation with the SRIM package. The implanted thickness for the 45 keV was found to be 10 μm. The ion penetration depths for different films at different energies (10-50 keV) were calculated using SRIM computer program and foun...

We present an analysis of high resolution HST Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) observations of Kr I λ1236 absorption in seven sight lines that probe a variety of interstellar environments. In combination with krypton and hydrogen column densities derived from current and archival STIS and FarUltraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer data, the number of sight lines with reliable Kr/H ISM abu...

2014 We present simultaneous measurements of adsorption isotherms and dielectric isotherms for krypton on lamellar halides. The comparison between the two isotherms shows that dielectric method is well adapted to characterize the multilayer formation. The evolution of dielectric properties from a two-dimensional system towards the bulk is also obtained. J. Physique 42 (1981) 559-564 AVRIL 1981,
