Taxonomies of person characteristics are well developed, whereas taxonomies of psychologically important situation characteristics are underdeveloped. A working model of situation perception implies the existence of taxonomizable dimensions of psychologically meaningful, important, and consequential situation characteristics tied to situation cues, goal affordances, and behavior. Such dimension...

Consolidated bodies of polycrystalline diamond with grain sizes less than 100 nm, nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD), has been experimentally produced by direct conversion of graphite at high pressure and high temperature. NPD has superior hardness, toughness and wear resistance to single-crystalline diamonds because of its peculiar nano-textures, and has been successfully used for industrial a...

Although ethical consumerism has witnessed significant interest in recent years, most studies have focused on low-value, commoditized product categories such as food and beverage apparel. Despite its significance, the research luxury segments diamonds is relatively scant. This formed motivation of this study, which examined buying behavior consumers moderating effects their income levels diamon...

A bstract We examine the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT. For a 4D bulk theory containing massless particles spin s = $$ \left\{0,\frac{1}{2},1,\frac{3}{2},2\right\} 0 1 2 3 we...

Simply connected compact Kähler manifolds of dimension up to three with elliptic homotopy type are characterized in terms of their Hodge diamonds. This is applied to classify the simply connected Kähler surfaces and Fano threefolds with elliptic homotopy type.

In this paper, we consider the well-known modal logics K, T, K4, and S4, and we study some of their sub-propositional fragments, namely the classical Horn fragment, the Krom fragment, the so-called core fragment, defined as the intersection of the Horn and the Krom fragments, plus their sub-fragments obtained by limiting the use of boxes and diamonds in clauses. We focus, first, on the relative...

Chemical Vapor Deposited (CVD) diamond has great advantages for use as thermoluminescent dosimeters in radiotherapy environment because of the reproducible high quality and controlled doping. This study compares CVD diamond Thermally Stimulated Luminescence response to that of a classical ionization chamber. Clinicallyrelevant features like the depth-dose distributions as well as the absorbed d...

A simplified version of the specific contact resistance measurement scheme of G. K. Reeves [Solid State Electronics 23, 487 (1980)] has been developed. Its applicability to semiconducting diamond is demonstrated using four sample types: epitaxial films doped to mid 1019 acceptors/cm3 on (100) and (110) type IIa substrates; type IIb diamonds 0.25 mm thick, and type IIb diamonds thinned to 0.035-...

Most of Earth's diamonds are connected with deep-seated mantle rocks; however, in recent years, μm-sized diamonds have been found in shallower metamorphic rocks, and the process of shallow-seated diamond formation has become a hotly debated topic. Nanodiamonds occur mainly in chondrite meteorites associated with organic matter and water. They can be synthesized in the stability field of graphit...

Diamonds formed during the Proterozoic and Archaean and are in-homogenously distributed in the mantle below Archaean cratons. Kimberlite magmas usually form well within the diamond stability field and physically incorporate seemingly random amounts of diamonds during their ascent through the mantle. The diamond content of a kimberlite magma arriving at the earth’s surface is defined by ascent p...
