Two types of nanoridge domains oriented with each other with an angle ranging between 109 and 124 were measured by scanning tunneling microscopy on the a-W film sputter deposited on an oxidized Si surface. Each domain contains nanoridges with a period of 7.5 1.0 nm. No such domains were observed on the b-W film surface. We argued that due to the anisotropy of the W(1 1 0) surface, the impinging...

The desired bioavailability and the method of drug administration and delivery can require stringent control on the crystal size distribution. Optimal control strategies are proposed to manufacture crystals with a targeted size distribution by combining controlled seeding by impinging jet crystallization with a batch crystallizer operating at a controlled constant growth rate. The same strategi...

An erosion hazard index methodology (EHIM) was developed for assessing stream erosion. The index of stream erosion is designed as a management tool. Assessing stream erosion involves consideration of a range of aspects of streams and a value judgment about a desirable state. The assessment of the erosion indicators of streams was based on a state-wide assessment of physical stream condition. A ...

Streams are acyclic directed subgraphs of the logical $ow graph of a proof representing bundles of paths with the same origin and the same end. The notion of stream is used to describe the evolution of proofs during cut-elimination in purely algebraic terms. The algebraic and combinatorial properties of $ow graphs emerging from our analysis serve to elucidate logical phenomena. However, the ful...

Environmental DNA (eDNA) has recently been used for detecting the distribution of macroorganisms in various aquatic habitats. In this study, we applied an eDNA method to estimate the distribution of the Japanese clawed salamander, Onychodactylus japonicus, in headwater streams. Additionally, we compared the detection of eDNA and hand-capturing methods used for determining the distribution of O....

Input–output analysts are often confronted with requests for impacts assessments for economic shocks that stretch uncomfortably the assumptions of standard input–output modeling. This paper presents an approach to confronting a subset of these challenges straightforwardly in a way that ameliorates some of the more restrictive input– output assumptions, maintains the inter–industry detail of the...

Inspired by a construction of Escardó, Lawson, and Simpson, we give a general construction of C-generated objects in a topological construct. When C consists of exponentiable objects, the resulting category is Cartesian-closed. This generalizes the familiar construction of compactly-generated spaces, and we apply this to Krishnan’s categories of streams and prestreams, as well as to Haucourt st...

In this article we give an accessible introduction to stream differential equations, ie., equations that take the shape of differential equations from analysis and that are used to define infinite streams. Furthermore we discuss a syntactic format for stream differential equations that ensures that any system of equations that fits into the format has a unique solution. It turns out that the st...

The Homogeneous Multiprocessor (HM) has a linear-array topology, with interprocessor communications achieved by the sharing of memory between nearest neighbours, by adjacent-processor signalling, and through a high-speed network (the H-Network). The operating system nucleus (the HM-Nucleus) for the HM contains a communications subsystem that provides low-overhead communications, both for user p...

There are many visualization tools available in infovis, but most of them are designed to display customized visualisations for specific data sets. PULSE is an approach to handle various time based data sets, no matter which problem domain is addressed. Therefore time based data is organized in streams of events, each having at least a name, starting time and duration. PULSE provides a basic in...
