We consider the influence of realistic island diffusion rates to homoepitaxial growth on metallic surfaces using a recently developed rate equation model which describes growth in the submonolayer regime with hyperthermal deposition. To this end, we incorporate realistic size and temperature-dependent island diffusion coefficients for the case of homoepitaxial growth on Cu(100) and Cu(111) surf...

The village of Lahou Kpanda (Grand Lahou, Côte d'Ivoire), located to the immediate west mouth Bandama River, on barrier island Tagba lagoon, is highly vulnerable coastal erosion. It directly threatened by migration river mouth, which has been occurring at an average speed 160 m/year over last 10 years, as well risks flooding and effects climate change will exacerbate further. This article prese...

Fish names are not only of interest to the ichthyologist. Linguists too have been studying fish name as they are generally regarded as a more stable subsection of the lexicon, which is less subject to change and more reliable as a source for historical reconstruction. However in the Pacific, especially in Polynesia with its history of migration, linguists have to be careful when using fish name...

A pentabrominated phenolic diphenyl ether (1) that has not previously been reported from marine sources has been isolated from Dysidea herbacea collected at Pelorus Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The structure was determined by comparison of NMR data with those of known structurally-related metabolites. NMR spectral assignments for (1) are discussed in context with those of three previo...

Genetic Programming has been successfully used to perform automatic generation of robot programs. However, to improve robustness of the generated robot programs, each candidate solution was evaluated under many environments which required the substantial processing time. This study proposed a parallel implementation to reduce the execution time. By using a coarse-grained model for parallelizati...

The structure of magnetic field lines in a tokamak with reversed magnetic shear is investigated by means of analytically derived area-preserving non-twist Poincaré maps. The basic configuration is the magnetic field produced by an ergodic limiter, superimposed to the tokamak equilibrium field in suitable coordinates. We consider the cases of one and two resonant modes, focusing on magnetic isla...

Neosabellides lizae, a new species of Ampharetidae, is described from the intertidal zone off Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia. The new species is referred to the genus Neosabellides based on the shape of the prostomium, three pairs of branchiae, 14 thoracic segments with notopodia, 12 thoracic uncinigerous segments, and the first two pairs of abdominal uncinigers of tho...
