We review recent developments in the physics of ultracold atomic and molecular gases in optical lattices. Such systems are nearly perfect realisations of various kinds of Hubbard models, and as such may very well serve to mimic condensed matter phenomena. We show how these systems may be employed as quantum simulators to answer some challenging open questions of condensed matter, and even high ...

this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...

A polypropylene hollow fiber membrane module is used for separating dissolved gases which contain dissolved oxygen from water. These dissolved gases can be used for underwater breathing. To be used for a human, the minimum amount of oxygen is essential. To increase separation of dissolved gases, much water and high surface area of hollow fibers are requested. For efficient separation system, pe...

This chapter describes modeling and animating procedural gases, liquids, and textures. Volume density functions are being used extensively in computer graphics for modeling and animating gases, fire, fur, liquids, and other ‘‘soft’’ objects. I have used them extensively for modeling and animating gases such as steam and fog [2, 5, 4, 3]. Hypertextures [16], metaballs [20](also called implicit s...

Reactive sputtering when two reactive gases are used presents special problems. Both reactive gases affect the plasma conditions, which means that both affect common feedback control signals such as the cathode voltage and optical emission signals. Two reactive gases require that unique signals for each reactive gas be acquired and that control of each of the reactive gases is done separately. ...
