The authors have presented a new technique (Kohler Theory Analysis, KTA) to infer thermodynamic quantities from CCN experiments. This method has been tested for single-component and binary aerosols with moderate success but continues to show substantial errors. Even with these errors, this tool is clearly and important step in better obtaining information from real and complex aerosol particles...

Optically active phonon modes in ferroelectrics such as potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) and potassium titanyl arsenate (KTA) in the ~7-20 THz range play an important role in applications of these materials in Raman lasing and terahertz wave generation. Previous studies with picosecond pulse excitation demonstrated that the interaction of pump pulses with phonons can lead to efficient stimulat...

A new cubic Ta-bronze (1) KTa(1+z)(+(5-delta))O(3) [z approximately 0.107 (3)] was obtained on a cathode by molten salt electrolysis of the system K(2)TaOF(5)-K(3)TaO(2)F(4)-(KF + NaF + LiF)(eutectic). Black, metallic cubic crystals of (1) are formed together with tetragonal beta-Ta. The perovskite-like crystal structure of (1) [a = 4.005 (1) A, space group Pm3m] was refined with anharmonic dis...

This paper presents a novel intra prediction algorithm, named position-dependent filtering (PDF), to improve the intra prediction accuracy. Different from the existing schemes where the samples along one prediction direction are predicted with the same set of filtering coefficients, in the proposed PDF, position-dependent filtering coefficients are employed, i.e., different sets of filtering co...

Increased detection of thyroid nodules using high-resolution ultrasonography has resulted in a world-wide increase in the incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Despite the steep increase in its incidence, the age-standardized mortality rate of thyroid cancer has remained stable, which leads toward a trend of more conservative treatment. The latest American Thyroid Association (ATA) ...

A commonly shared assumption in the field of visual-word recognition is that retinotopic representations are rapidly converted into abstract representations. Here we examine the role of visual form vs. abstract representations during the early stages of word processing - as measured by masked priming - in young children (3rd and 6th Graders) and adult readers. To maximize the chances of detecti...
