Results from a 37 ks BeppoSAX Low-Energy Concentrator Spectrometer (LECS) observation of the supersoft source SMC 13 (=1E 0035.4-7230) in the Small Magellanic Cloud are reported. This source has probably the softest spectrum observed so far with BeppoSAX, with no detected counts ∼ >0.5 keV. The BeppoSAX spectrum is fitted either with a blackbody spectrum with an effective temperature kT = 26–58...

The macroscopic viscoelastic behavior of collagen gel was studied through relaxation time distribution spectrum obtained from stress relaxation tests and viscoelastic constitutive modeling. Biaxial stress relaxation tests were performed to characterize the viscoelastic behavior of collagen gel crosslinked with Genipin solution. Relaxation time distribution spectrum was obtained from the stress ...

Let T be an algebraically paranormal operator acting on Hilbert space. We prove : (i) Weyl’s theorem holds for f(T ) for every f ∈ H(σ(T )); (ii) a-Browder’s theorem holds for f(S) for every S ≺ T and f ∈ H(σ(S)); (iii) the spectral mapping theorem holds for the Weyl spectrum of T and for the essential approximate point spectrum of T .

We obtain analytic expressions for the third-order corrections due to the strong interaction Coulomb potential to the S-wave Green function, energy levels and wave functions at the origin for arbitrary principal quantum number n. Together with the known non-Coulomb correction this results in the complete spectrum of S-states up to order α 5 s. The numerical impact of these corrections on the Up...

background: the objective of this study is to establish raman signatures from pure cultures of different candida species using raman spectroscopy (rs) and use these signatures for rapid identification of unknown candida species. methods: pure cultures of five candida species were evaluated using rs to build a limited signature library. ‘raman processing’ (rp) software was used for principal com...

Flex-grid optical networks have evolved as a near-future deployment option to facilitate dynamic and bandwidth intense traffic demands. These networks enable capacity gains by operating on a flexible spectrum, allocating minimum required bandwidth, for a given channel configuration. It is thus important to understand the nonlinear dynamics of various high bit-rate super-channel configurations, ...

In this paper a model to investigate the spectrum opportunities for cognitive radio networks in three radar frequency bands L, S and C at a specific location is introduced. We consider underlay unaware spectrum sharing model. The Secondary System we assume is an OFDM based system. The followed strategy is built upon defining a specific co or adjacent channel as a spectrum opportunity if -and on...

Consider a spectrum that consists of N channels (e.g., separated frequency bands), each with bandwidth Bn (n = 1, · · · , N ). These N channels are licensed to a primary network whose users communicate according to a synchronous slot structure. Let Sn ∈ {0 (busy), 1 (idle)} denote the availability of channel n in a slot. The spectrum occupancy of the primary network S ∆ = [S1, . . . , SN ] is m...

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessarily commutative) with nonzero identity. We define $Gamma(R)$ to be the graph with vertex set $R$ in which two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if there exist unit elements $u,v$ of $R$ such that $x+uyv$ is a unit of $R$. In this paper, basic properties of $Gamma(R)$ are studied. We investigate connectivity and the girth of $Gamma(R)$, where $...
