The understanding of metal nucleation on graphene is essential for promising future applications, especially of magnetic metals which can be used in spintronics or computer storage media. A common method to study the grown morphology is to measure the nucleated island density n as a function of growth parameters. Surprisingly, the growth of Fe on graphene is found to be unusual because it does ...

In this paper, we investigate a design of biological excitable media based on non-excitable cells and intercellular calcium signaling mechanisms. The calcium induced calcium release mechanism in non-excitable cells is exploited to transform the non-excitable cells into excitable media that propagate calcium signals cell-to-cell. The biological excitable media investigated in this paper represen...

The possibility of absorbing more than one photon during a single quan-Bell Laboratories Lucent Technologies tum event had been predicted more than 60 years ago (Goeppert-Mayer, 1931), but experimental confirmation Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 was delayed until after the invention of the laser (Kaiser and Garrett, 1961) ...

Only a small portion of the poems in Dan Pagis' collection, Gilgul, are set aside distinctly as Holocaust poems. Seven short poems, grouped together under the heading "Qiiron /:Iii tum," and the longer piece, "cA qefJot," refer with clarity to events of the so Ji'ih. Yet certain basic concerns-above all an attention to entrapment and flight, captivity and freedom-which are most readily understa...

Existing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm is not robust in challenging low-texture environments because of few salient features. The resulting sparse or semi-dense map also conveys little information for motion planning. Though some work utilize plane or scene layout for dense map regularization, they require decent state estimation from other sources. In this paper, we pr...
