As it is correctly emphasized by the European Union (EU) legislator, actions in field of air transport should aim, among other things, at ensuring a high level protection for passengers. The paper attempts to discuss nexus location performance an obligation as basis special jurisdiction context Brussels I bis Regulation cases versus carriers. A passenger’s choice based on Regulation, applicable...

We demonstrate room temperature midinfrared electroluminescence from intersublevel transitions in self-assembled InAs quantum dots. The dots are grown in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures designed to maximize current injection into dot excited states while preferentially removing electrons from the ground states. As such, these devices resemble quantum cascade lasers. However, rigorous modeling of c...

Within the envelope function approach and the effective-mass approximation, we have investigated theoretically the effect of an intense, high-frequency laser field on the bound states in a GaxIn1 - xNyAs1 - y/GaAs double quantum well for different nitrogen and indium mole concentrations. The laser-dressed potential, bound states, and squared wave functions related to these bound states in Ga1 -...

The correlation of the electronic band structure with the photocatalytic activity of AgTaO3 has been studied by simulation and experiments. Doping wide band gap oxide semiconductors usually introduces discrete mid-gap states, which extends the light absorption but has limited benefit for photocatalytic activity. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that compensated co-doping in AgT...

This study was aimed to explore the sleep/wake states related cortico-pontine theta carrier frequency phase shift following a systemically induced chemical axotomy of the monoaminergic afferents within a brain of the freely moving rats. Our experiments were performed in 14 adult, male Sprague Dawley rats, chronically implanted for sleep recording. We recorded sleep during baseline condition, fo...

Using analytical formulas as well as a finite-difference scheme, we investigate themagnetic field dependence of the energy spectra and magnetic edge states of HgTe/CdTe-based quantum wells in the presence of perpendicular magnetic fields and hard walls for the band-structure parameters corresponding to the normal and inverted regimes. Whereas one can not find counterpropagating, spin-polarized ...

A methodology is proposed that is suitable for efficient simulation of continuous-time Markov chains that are nearly-completely decomposable. For such Markov chains the effort to adequately explore the state space via Crude Monte Carlo (CMC) simulation can be extremely large. The purpose of this paper is to provide a fast alternative to the standard CMC algorithm, which we call Aggregate Monte ...

The carrier transport and optical properties of the hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 are investigated using first-principles approaches. We found that the electron and hole mobilities could reach surprisingly high values of 7-30 × 10(3) and 1.5-5.5 × 10(3) cm(2) V(-1) s(-1), respectively, and both are estimated to be much higher than the current experimental measurements. The high...

We develop a new approach to carrier transport between the edge states via resonant scattering on impurities, which is applicable both for short and long range impurities. A detailed analysis of resonant scattering on a single impurity is performed. The results are used for study of the inter-edge transport by multiple resonant hopping via different impurities’ sites. It is shown that the total...

Genomic evaluations of dairy cattle in the United States have been available for Brown Swiss, Holsteins, and Jerseys since 2009. As of January 2013, 1,023 Ayrshires had genotypes in the North American database. Evaluation accuracy was assessed using genomic evaluations based on 646 bulls with 2008 traditional evaluations to predict daughter performance of up to 180 bulls in 2012. Mean gain in r...
