The Void Phenomenon consists in the apparent discrepancy between the number of observed dwarf halos in cosmic voids and that expected from CDM simulations. We approach the problem considering the challenging prospects of detecting field dwarf systems with halo masses ≤ 10 M⊙, via their possible HI emission. A brief review of recent work is followed by preliminary results from the ALFALFA survey...

BACKGROUND For osteoporosis or spinal metastases, percutaneous vertebroplasty is effective in pain relief and improvement of mobility. However, the complication rate (cement extravasation and fat embolisms) is relatively higher in the treatment of spinal metastases. The presence of tumor tissue plays a significant role in intravertebral pressure and cement distribution and thereby affects the o...

Dataset description vocabularies focus on provenance, versioning, licensing, and similar metadata. VoID is a notable exception, providing some expressivity for describing subsets and their contents and can, to some extent, be used for discovering relevant resources and for optimizing querying. In this poster we describe an extension of VoID that provides the expressivity needed in order to supp...

The Linked Data initiative continues to grow making more datasets available; however, discovering the type of data contained in a dataset, its structure, and the vocabularies used still remains a challenge hindering the querying and reuse. VoID descriptions provide a starting point but a more detailed analysis is required to unveil the implicit vocabulary usage such as common data patterns. Suc...

Hollow nanoparticles (NPs) are produced by void nucleation and growth during chemical reactions. However, there is no proper understanding of nucleation and growth mechanisms and their predictive modeling. Models based on the Kirkendall effect predict the process time, which is larger by orders of magnitude than in experiment. This is why some works propose that a large tensile pressure in the ...
