The equation of state (EOS) of warm dense hydrogen is treated theoretically by a free energy approach. At low densities hydrogen is a molecular fluid which can be described by fluid variational theory. Dissociation of molecules is treated self-consistently and thermodynamic properties of the neutral fluid can be given via standard relations, see [1] for details. At high densities hydrogen is pr...

Path integral Monte Carlo simulations are applied to study dense atomic hydrogen in the regime where the protons form a Wigner crystal. The interaction of the protons with the degenerate electron gas is modeled by Thomas-Fermi screening, which leads to a Yukawa potential for the proton-proton interaction. A numerical technique for the derivation of the corresponding action of the paths is descr...

Phase Change Memory (PCM) has better scalability and smaller cell size comparing to DRAM. However, further scaling PCM cell in deep sub-micron regime results in significant thermal based write disturbance. Naively allocating large inter-cell space increases cell size from ideal 4F 2 to 12F 2. While a recent work mitigates write disturbance along word-lines through disturbance resilient data enc...

Dense Phase Carbon Dioxide (DPCD) is a non-thermal process that pasteurizes mostly liquid foods. It inactivates vegetative bacterial cells, some spores, yeasts and molds, some viruses, and some enzymes. The traditional approach to develop a DPCD process for a new product involves a complex experimental plan to investigate microbial and safety effects. Recent studies show the importance of the s...

The phase structure of hot and/or dense QCD is one of the most exciting current topics in the field of strong interactions. In particular, the properties of cold and dense quark matter are of great interest in astrophysics and cosmology; it is now widely accepted that, at moderate densities of relevance for the interior of compact stars, quark matter is a color superconductor and has a rich pha...

The description of nuclear matter bulk properties in the framework of quarkbased hadron models in curved unit cells is extended to finite temperature. We discuss the analogy and interplay of density and temperature effects in this formulation and study, as an application, the temperature and density dependence of chiral vacuum properties in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Typeset using REVT...

Dense deposit disease is caused by fluid-phase dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway and frequently deviates from the classic membranoproliferative pattern of injury on light microscopy. Other patterns of injury described for dense deposit disease include mesangioproliferative, acute proliferative/exudative, and crescentic GN. Regardless of the histologic pattern, C3 glomerulopath...
