Growth, thermal stability, and structure of ultrathin gallium films on Pd(111) and Pd(110) are investigated by low-energy ion scattering and low-energy electron diffraction. Common to both surface orientations are growth of disordered Ga films at coverages of a few monolayers (T = 150 K), onset of alloy formation at low temperatures (T ≈ 200 K), and formation of a metastable, mostly disordered ...

Many small lizards live in structurally and thermally heterogeneous environments where they can select preferred microhabitats surface temperatures to optimize their activity. We examined microhabitat selection analyzed selected by two ecologically similar lacertid species, Iberolacerta horvathi Podarcis muralis, at three sites different ecological contexts: allotopic syntopic conditions. spati...

In many industrial applications, such as in the steel industry, it is important to monitor surface temperature, and also heating or cooling rates, during an process. However, often may be inaccessible for direct measurements. Instead we are restricted using interior measurements estimate by solving inverse heat conduction problem. The problem well-known has been studied authors. this paper a no...
