in this research, tellurium (te) film with thicknesses of 100-250 nm were deposited on ceramic substrates by thermal evaporation at 373 k. the thickness of the film was determined by rutherford backscattering spectroscopy. the influence of the thickness on the structural, morphological and molecular bonds was characterized using xrd, scanning electron microscope, and raman spectroscopy. the xrd...

An investigation of terrestrial bryophyte species diversity and community structure along an altitudinal gradient from 2,001 to 4,221 m a.s.l. in Gongga Mountain in Sichuan, China was carried out in June 2010. Factors which might affect bryophyte species composition and diversity, including climate, elevation, slope, depth of litter, vegetation type, soil pH and soil Eh, were examined to unders...

A nationally representative sample of adolescents 12-17 years of age were examined in the U.S. Health Examination Survey and relationships between blood pressure and other variables were explored. During adolescence, blood pressure increases more rapidly in males than in females and only small racial differences are present. Weight has the strongest relationship to both systolic and diastolic p...

In this paper the recently developed semi-analytic method to solve the free-surface wave interaction with a thin elastic plate is extended to the case of a plate of finite thickness. The method used is based on the reformulation of the differential-integral equation for this problem. The thickness of the plate is chosen such that the elastic behavior of the plate can be described by means of th...

Positive frequency Wightman function, vacuum expectation values of the field square and the energy-momentum tensor induced by a Z2-symmetric brane with finite thickness located on (D + 1)dimensional AdS background are evaluated for a massive scalar field with general curvature coupling parameter. For the general case of static plane symmetric interior structure the expectation values in the reg...

The freeze out of particles from a layer of finite thickness is discussed in a phenomenological kinetic model. The proposed model, based on the Modified Boltzman Transport Equation, is Lorentz invariant and can be applied equally well for the freeze out layers with space-like and time-like normal vectors. It leads to non-equilibrated post freeze out distributions. The dependence of the resultin...

1 Let D be either the unit ball B1(0) or the half ball B + 1 (0), let f be a strictly positive and continuous function, and let u and Ω ⊂ D solve the following overdetermined problem: ∆u(x) = χ Ω (x)f(x) in D, 0 ∈ ∂Ω, u = |∇u| = 0 in Ω, where χ Ω denotes the characteristic function of Ω, Ωc denotes the set D \Ω, and the equation is satisfied in the sense of distributions. When D = B 1 (0), then...

A two-dimensional micromagnetic model is extended to support simulation of films with non-uniform thickness. Zeeman and crystalline anisotropy energies of each cell scale with the cell thickness, while the exchange energy of a pair of neighbor cells scales by a weight dependent on the thicknesses of both cells. The self-magnetostatic energy is computed by scaling the moment of each cell by its ...
