Electrons can be accelerated by their interaction with nonlinearly saturated electrostatic waves up to speeds with which they can undergo diffusive acceleration across supernova remnant shocks. Here, we model this wave-electron interaction by particle-in-cell and Vlasov simulations. We find that the lifetime of the saturated wave is considerably longer in the Vlasov simulation, due to differenc...

In this paper we present two versions of a system we deployed to consider how to support a light-weight interaction to ‘tag’ a temporally and physically located event for later, digital access. In each deployment, we chose similar kinds of events, used similar interactions to tag the artifacts/information at the events, and provided similar digital representations of the artifacts/information t...

We present results of combined N-body and three-dimensional reionization calculations to determine the relationship between reionization history and local environment in a volume 1 Gpc h−1 across and a resolution of about 1 Mpc. We resolve the formation of about 2× 106 halos of mass greater than ∼ 10M⊙ at z = 0, allowing us to determine the relationship between halo mass and reionization epoch ...

The variables controlled and measured in elastostatic laboratory experiments (the volume changes, shape changes, connning stresses, and pore pressure) are exactly related to the appropriate variables of poroelastic eld theory (the gradients of the volume-averaged displacement elds and the volume-averaged stresses). The relations between the laboratory and volume-averaged strain measures require...

This paper proposes a methodology for applying simulation technology to the monitoring and control of operations. It focuses on the synchronization of the real operation with the planned operation in simulation. This methodology uses intelligent agents, called Operations Monitors, to compare the real operation to the plan, which is running in an operationally-focused simulation. When the Operat...

Paul Meehl, in one of his last public speeches, memorably noted that most clinical psychologists select their methods like kids make choices in a candy store: They look around, maybe sample a bit, and choose what they like, whatever feels good to them. For many of us who initially became clinical psychologists because we were inspired by the scientist-practitioner ideal, Meehl’s comment was as ...

μCap (muCap) is a software package (citeware) for economic experiments enabling experimenters to analyze emotional states of subjects using z-Tree and FaceReaderTM. μCap is able to create videos of subjects on client computers based on stimuli shown on screen and restrict recording material to relevant time frames. Another feature of μCap is the creation of time stamps in csv format at prespeci...

We present yarp.js, a JavaScript framework enabling robotics networks to interface and interact with external devices by exploiting modern Web communication protocols. By connecting a YARP server module with a browser client on any external device, yarp.js allows to access on board sensors using standard Web APIs and stream the acquired data through the yarp.js network without the need for any ...

www.landesbioscience.com Cell Cycle 3583 Epithelial cells are organized into polarized sheets that separate distinct compartments of multicellular organisms. Within the epithelial tissue, cells are held together by a set of polarized junctional complexes that regulate adhesion and also separate functionally distinct apical and basolateral membranes. Despite a solid understanding of the establis...

Mobile phones have evolved over the years from a plain device that allowed voice communication to the present day smart phones that are capable of variety of tasks. Much touted smart phone lacks some of the rudimentary business as well as other functions that are available in a traditional laptop/desktop. This article proposes a new system called Next Generation Mobile Desktop (NGMD) that provi...
