Intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) - also known as discrete breathers - are localized excitations that form without structural defects in discrete nonlinear lattices. For crystals in thermal equilibrium ILMs were proposed to form randomly, an idea used to interpret temperature activated signatures of ILMs in α-U and NaI. Here, however, we report neutron scattering measurements of lattice vibratio...

Ground-based extensive air shower arrays can observe Gamma Ray Bursts in the 1 GeV 1 TeV energy range using the “single particle” technique. The sensitivity to detect a GRB as a function of the burst parameters and the detector characteristics are discussed. The rate of possible observations is evaluated, making reasonable assumptions on the high energy emission, the absorption of gamma-rays in...

Sir,?A case of hydrophobia came to the Arrah Hospital on the 15th September 1913, in which the history given was that the patient was bitten on the hand by a dog, eight days previous to the commencement of the disease, and had not been bitten 011 any other occasion by any other animal. The man was taken away from the hospital the same day before I had an opportunity of seeing him, but the diagn...

ed, she Avas suffering from hydrophobia. On arriving at. the Ayah's house, I found her in a very excited condition on her sleeping mat on the floor, supported in a sitting position by one of her relatives ; her skin was acting very freely, beads of perspiration standing out on her face and upper part of her body. The sterno-mastoids were strongly contracted and markedly prominent 011 either sid...

Record linkage is used in data privacy to evaluate the disclosure risk of protected data. It models potential attacks, where an intruder attempts to link records from the protected data to the original data. In this paper we introduce a novel distance based record linkage, which uses the Choquet integral to compute the distance between records. We use a fuzzy measure to weight each subset of va...

The orientation dependence of electromechanical properties of relaxor based ferroelectric single crystals Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-(6-7)%PbTiO3 and Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-33%PbTiO3 has been calculated by coordinate transformation. Different from previous studies, the optimum cutting orientations have been predicted in terms of their piezoelectric responses in the corresponding crystal planes. The calculation...

In this study, a Ti–33Zr–12Al–6V alloy was prepared, and its work hardening softening mechanisms were investigated via tensile tests conducted at room temperature. The interaction between the dislocations strain-induced martensite (SIM) results in hardening; whereas, shearing of grain boundaries by for entering adjacent grains softening, which occurs when logarithmic strains is 5.8% 7.6%. Work ...

The disclination-structural units model ~DSUM!, which was previously applied to grain boundaries in metals and a limited number of structures in the diamond cubic lattice, is extended to treat more complicated metastable structures of ^001& and ^011& symmetric tilt boundaries in diamond. These structures are described in terms of flat and faceted disclination dipole walls and screw dislocation ...

A new scheme of calculation of high-angle annular dark-field STEM image, capable of including both elastically diffracted and thermal diffuse scattering waves, has been presented by a combination of Pennycook's and Nakamura's methods. The new scheme has been demonstrated for image simulations of Si(011) as functions of thickness, defocus values and detector angles. In the present method, the TD...
