Non-interaction of waves (NIW) in the linear domain is an unappreciated but general principle of nature. Explicit recognition of this NIW-principle will add renewed momentum to the progress of fundamental physics and related technologies like spectrometry, coherence, polarizations, laser mode-locking, etc. This principle helps us appreciate that the mathematical correctness of a theorem and its...

Abstract This study examined characteristics of near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) associated with the background mesoscale field near Tsushima Warm Current. Observational stations off Sado Island were visited recurrently to assess spatiotemporal changes fine-scale and microscale properties seawater. Also, NIWs inspected in terms relative vorticity total strain surface geostrophic motion. Duri...

The glass transition in amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) is studied by thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The ability of TSDC to decompose a distributed relaxation, as the glass transition, into its elementary components is demonstrated. Two polarization techniques, windows polarization (WP) and non–isothermal windows polarizat...

The nivea (niv) gene of Antirrhinum majus encodes chalcone synthase, an enzyme involved in synthesis of anthocyanin pigments. The nivfeC:98 allele contains a single copy of the transposon Tamd inserted at the niv locus. A large chromosomal rearrangement derived from this mutant has been shown to be flanked by two copies of Tam3. In this study, we compared sequences involved in this rearrangemen...

Summarization of electronic discussion fora is a unique challenge; techniques that work startlingly well on monolithic documents tend to fare poorly in this informal setting. Additionally, conventional techniques ignore much of the structures that have the potential to serve as valuable features in the summarization task. We present several novel examples of such features, including the catalys...

This paper presents gold passivated dense NiW mechanically flexible interconnects (MFIs) for advanced 3D heterogeneous IC integration. The MFIs are fabricated with a pitch as small as 25 μm, a maximum height of 65 μm, and can be engineered to provide a wide range of mechanical stiffness and vertical range of motion within the elastic region. The compliance for the fabricated MFIs is measured to...

Interactive notebooks are increasingly popular among scientists to expose computational methods and share their results. However, it is often challenging to track their dataflow, and therefore the provenance of their results. This paper presents an approach to convert notebooks into scientific workflows that capture explicitly the dataflow across software components and facilitate tracking prov...
