We have measured the melting temperature of nanoscale indium islands on a WSe(2) substrate using perturbed angular correlations combined with scanning tunneling microscopy. The indium islands are self-assembled nanostructures whose diameter can vary between about 5 and 100 nm, depending on deposition conditions. The melting point decreases due to surface energies as the islands get smaller. Thi...

Motivated by the proliferation and usefulness of Domain Specific Languages as well as the demand in enriching well established languages by high level capabilities like pattern matching or strategic rewriting, we introduce the Formal Islands framework. The main idea consists to integrate, in existing programs, formally defined parts called Islands, on which proofs and tests can be meaningfully ...

Dopamine afferent islands were observed in rodent caudate-putamen only during development, whereas patches with intense mu-opioid receptor (MOR) immunoreactivity were seen throughout the life. We performed direct comparison between MOR patches and dopamine islands in the caudate-putamen of rat pups, by double immunofluorescence labeling for MOR and tyrosine hydroxylase. MOR patches were include...

Temperatureand excitation-power-dependent photoluminescence measurements were carried out for the multilayer structure of Ge islands grown on a Si~001! substrate by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy. When the excitation power increases from 10 to 400 mW, the photoluminescence peak from the Ge islands showed a large linear blueshift of 34 meV while that of the wetting layers did not change much....

In this work we investigate by means of atomic force microscopy in combination with selective wet etching experiments coalescence and coarsening effects on the morphology evolution of Si-rich SiGe quantum dots and islands grown epitaxially at high temperatures on Si(001) substrates. We demonstrate that under certain growth conditions remarkably uniform island size distributions can be achieved ...

this paper investigates the islands formation in initial stages of restoration process in blackout condition and studies the impacts of islands number variation on the process execution. in addition, a method is proposed to determining each island optimal boundaries. then the effects of transmission lines thyistor controlled series compensators (tcsc) to facilitate restoration process and impro...

The Predicted Genomic Islands database (Pre_GI) is a comprehensive repository of prokaryotic genomic islands (islands, GIs) freely accessible at http://pregi.bi.up.ac.za/index.php. Pre_GI, Version 2015, catalogues 26 744 islands identified in 2407 bacterial/archaeal chromosomes and plasmids. It provides an easy-to-use interface which allows users the ability to query against the database with a...

The effects of mobility of small islands on island growth in molecular beam epitaxy are studied. It is shown that mobility of small islands affects both the scaling and morphology of islands during growth. Three microscopic models are considered, in which the critical island sizes are i∗ = 1, 2 and 3 (such that islands of size s ≤ i∗ are mobile while islands of size s ≥ i∗ +1 are immobile). As ...

We discuss ecological theory and population models pertinent to the population biology of southern lynx. Fragmented forest cover types, high vagility of lynx, and linkages in population dynamics suggest that lynx in the contiguous United States are arranged as metapopulations. Metapopulation stability depends on not only habitat quality but also dispersal rates between habitat islands. Models i...
