A successfull application of Geiger-mode multipixel avalanche diodes (GMAPDs) for pulse-shape discrimination in alpha-beta spectrometry using organic liquid scintillator is described in this paper. Efficient discrimination of alpha and beta components in the emission of radioactive isotopes is achieved for alpha energies above 0.3 MeV. The ultra-compact design of the scintillating detector help...

Single-frequency operation or locking in a lateral array of three laser oscillators is studied within the composite-cavity-mode approach. We compute the regions of stable locking, which have a nontrivial shape in the plane of coupling strength versus frequency detuning. The locking regions depend drastically on the amount of amplitude-phase coupling of the lasing field that is quantified by the...

It has been suggested that the gravitational potential can have a significant role in suppressing star formation nearby galaxies. To establish observational constrains on this scenario, we investigate connection between dynamics, through circular velocity curves (CVCs) as proxy of inner potential, and quenching 215 non-active galaxies across Hubble sequence from Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field...

Since the seminal work of Idelsohn, O\~nate and Del-Pin (2004), Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) has relied on a Delaunay triangulation Alpha--Shape (AS) algorithm in remeshing process. This approach guarantees good quality Lagrangian mesh, but introduces list shortcomings that demand geometrical treatments tailored to each problem. In order improve process PFEM, this proposes use Level--S...

Integrin alpha 3A cytoplasmic tail phosphorylation was mapped to amino acid S1042, as determined by mass spectrometry, and confirmed by mutagenesis. This residue occurs within a "QPSXXE" motif conserved in multiple alpha chains (alpha 3A, alpha 6A, alpha 7A), from multiple species. Phosphorylation of alpha 3A and alpha 6A did not appear to be directly mediated by protein kinase C (PKC) alpha, b...

To develop an automated approach for 3D quantitative assessment and measurement of alpha angles from the femoral head-neck (FHN) junction using bone models derived from magnetic resonance (MR) images of the hip joint.Bilateral MR images of the hip joints were acquired from 30 male volunteers (healthy active individuals and high-performance athletes, aged 18–49 years) using a water-excited 3D du...
