Lithium containing droplet and cluster targets irradiated by laser pulses are proposed as prospective source of for soft x-ray lithography. Analytical model and simulations show that laser with repetition rate of several MHz with energy of several mJ and pulse duration 10 ps is required.

We show that according to the GRB internal shock model the pulse duration and the interval between neighboring pulses are correlated and have a similar distribution. We analyze a sample of bright long bursts and find that the pulses duration have a lognormal distribution while the intervals has an excess of long intervals (relative to lognormal distribution). This excess can be explained by the...

We extend Duration Calculus to a logic which allows description of Discrete Processes where several steps of computation can occur at the same time point. The resulting logic is called Duration Calculus of Weakly Monotonic Time (WDC). It allows effects such as true synchrony and digitisation to be modelled. As an example of this, we formulate a novel semantics of Timed CSP assuming that the com...
