The reduction of Cu2O islands grown on Cu(100) surfaces through vacuum annealing was visualized by an in situ ultrahigh vacuum transmission electron microscope. The shrinkage of the island followed a linear decay behavior. The complete reduction of the oxide islands leads to the formation of nanoindentations on the Cu surfaces. A simple phenomenological kinetic model based on the dissociation a...

the phenomenological model of khossravi and connors (1992) has been adopted to calculate the electrophoretic mobility of drugs at different concentrations of solvents in a binary mixture. the accuracy and predictability of the model have been evaluated employing 14 experimental data sets by using average percentage mean deviation (apmd). the obtained apmd for correlative and predictive studies ...

aims : understanding the experiences of mothers could be as a strategy for the physicians, nurses who are working in nicu and administrators in the care centers in order to provide supports for parents, particularly mothers and an effective step to improve the quality of nursing care of premature infants and their parents.   methods : in this study, one of the qualitative research methods as de...

We propose that under certain conditions the universal open string tachyon can drive topological inflation in moduli stabilised frameworks. Namely, the presence of electric field in the world volume of the D-brane can slow down its decay leading to a phenomenological model of inflation. The conditions for inflation to take place are difficult to satisfy in the standard warped deformed conifold ...

The Jarlskog Invariant Jν−map of the neutrino mapping matrix is calculated based on a phenomenological model which relates the smallness of light lepton masses me and m1 (of ν1) with the smallness of T violation. For small T violating phase χl in the lepton sector, Jν−map is proportional to χl, but me and m1 are proportional to χ2l . This leads to Jν−map ∼= 1 6 √ me mμ +O ( √ memμ m2τ )

This analysis combines phenomenological and sociological research for an investigation of the social relationship of “friendship”. From a phenomenological perspective, it focuses on the epistemological basis, on the subjective constitution of the phenomenon of “friendship”. The social construction of friendship however, is described from a sociological research perspective with reference to con...

movement material. Informed by Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological approach 18 prioritising the lived-body as the primary source of engaging with the world, these tasks were facilitated through a process of phenomenological reduction. Described by Mickunas and Stewart as ‘a narrowing of attention to what is essential in the problem while disregarding the superfluous and accidental’, this approach ...
