The growth dynamics of D2O ice in liquid H2O in a microfluidic device were investigated between the melting points of D2O ice (3.8 °C) and H2O ice (0 °C). As the temperature was decreased at rates between 0.002 °C/s and 0.1 °C/s, the ice front advanced but retreated immediately upon cessation of cooling, regardless of the temperature. This is a consequence of the competition between diffusion o...

Abstract We consider Hamiltonian functions of the classical type, namely, even and convex with respect to generalized momenta. A brake orbit is a periodic solution Hamilton’s equations such that momenta are zero on two different points. Under mild assumptions, this paper reduces multiplicity problem orbits for function type orthogonal geodesic chords in concave Finslerian manifold boundary. Thi...

The space of directed sets is a Banach space in which convex compact subsets of Rn are embedded. Each directed set is visualized as a (nonconvex) subset of Rn, which is comprised of a convex, a concave and a mixed-type part. Following an idea of A. Rubinov, the directed subdifferential of a difference of convex (DC) functions is defined as the directed difference of the corresponding embedded c...

Research suggests that detection of low-frequency radial frequency (RF) patterns involves global shape processing and that points of maximum curvature (corners) contribute more than points of minimum curvature (sides). However, this has only been tested with stimuli presented at the threshold of discriminability from a circle. We used RF pattern adaptation to (a) examine whether a supra-thresho...

We give new algorithms for learning halfspaces in the challenging malicious noise model, where an adversary may corrupt both the labels and the underlying distribution of examples. Our algorithms can tolerate malicious noise rates exponentially larger than previous work in terms of the dependence on the dimension n, and succeed for the fairly broad class of all isotropic log-concave distributio...

In this paper, the concepts of L-concave structures, concave Linterior operators and concave L-neighborhood systems are introduced. It is shown that the category of L-concave spaces and the category of concave Linterior spaces are isomorphic, and they are both isomorphic to the category of concave L-neighborhood systems whenever L is a completely distributive lattice. Also, it is proved that th...

In this work, the WAD Characteristics were improved by forming a concave‐convex scattering structure on organic planarization layer of large size AMOLED backplane TFT. By using slit mask scanner as VIA photosensitive poly‐imide film, semi‐transmissive area and contact hole made simultaneously without adding separate photo process to form structure. On top that, ITO/Ag/ITO anode pixel, EL cathod...

Magnetic flux measurements of a toroidal magnet revealed a concave-shaped field distribution with a single minimum and a null field along the axis of the torus at the point where the field reversed. The non-linear magnetic field of the toroidal magnet perpendicular to the Ag2O-doped superconducting disc sample with trapped magnetic flux distorted the field line distribution. As a result, the in...
