the effects of including incoherent (bound-electron) and coherent (rayleigh) scattering in exposure buildup factor calculations for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer water-lead shield have been investigated in the gamma ray energy (e?) range of 40 kev to 3 mev. incoherent scattering decreases the values of these factors in both layers up to e? ~ 200 kev and the effect i...

The interface structure and segregation behavior of L12-Al3M (M = Sc, Zr, Er, Y) phases were investigated based on first-principles calculations. results showed that the order thermodynamically stable was Al3Zr/Al > Al3Sc/Al Al3Er/ Al Al3Y/Al. interfaces Al3Sc/Al3Zr, Al3Er/Al3Zr, Al3Y/Al3Er obtained negative interfacial energies low coherent strain favorable to form a clear interface. Zr ato...

In this article Hakomi Therapy is considered in relation to its principles as they interface with systems theory, broadly conceived. Hakomi roots in the work of Gregory Bateson and the sciences of complexity are outlined as well those in Buddhism and other spiritual traditions. A coherent philosophical-scientific theory is outlined that offers an underlying basis for doing therapy, and integrat...

In this paper, the internal structure of novel multiphase gallium nitride nanowires in which multiple zinc-blende and wurtzite crystalline domains grow simultaneously along the entire length of the nanowire is investigated. Orientation relationships within the multiphase nanowires are identified using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy of nanowire cross-sections fabricated with a ...

Many theoretical calculations of subtle coherent effects in quantum mechanics do not carefully consider the interface between their calculations and experiment. Calculations for gedanken experiments using initial states not satisfied in realistic experiments give results requiring interpretation. Confusion and ambiguities frequently arise. Calculations for timedependent mixing oscillations desc...

The impact of junction transparency in driving phase-coherent charge transfer across diffusive semiconductor-superconductor junctions is demonstrated. We present conductivity data for a set of Nb-InAs junctions differing only in interface transparency. Our experimental findings are analyzed within the quasi-classical Green-function approach and unambiguously show the physical processes giving r...

This paper describes a framework for multi-document summarization which combines three premises: coherent themes can be identified reliably; highly representative themes, running across subsets of the document collection, can function as multi-document summary surrogates; and effective end-use of such themes should be facilitated by a visualization environment which clarifies the relationship b...

When modelling complex interactive systems, traditional interactor-based approaches suffer from lack of expressiveness regarding the composition of the different interactors present in the user interface model into a coherent system. In this paper we investigate an alternative approach to the composition of interactors for the specification of complex interactive systems which is based on the c...

SCI – Scalable Coherent Interface – is a new IEEE standard for specifying communicationbetween multiprocessors in a shared memory model. In this paper we model part of SCI by a program written in a UNITY-like programming language. This part of SCI is formally specified in Manna and Pnueli’s Linear Time Temporal Logic (LTL). We prove that the program satisfies its specification. The proof is car...

We report a detailed investigation of the magnetization reversal by minor loops in Co75Fe25 (t) single layer and Ir22Mn78(10 nm)/CoFe(t) exchange-biased bilayers with different CoFe thicknesses. With increasing CoFe layer thickness in IrMn/CoFe bilayers, the magnetization reversal process shows a transition from the coherent rotation to the domain-wall motion, which is attributed to the competi...
