dand f -shells support a large number of local degrees of freedom: dipoles, quadrupoles, octupoles, hexadecapoles, etc. Usually, the ordering of any multipole component leaves the system sufficiently symmetrical to allow a second symmetry breaking transition. To classify the possibilities, one has to construct the symmetry group of the first ordered phase, and then re-classify the order paramet...

We present ab initio calculations of both the dipole and quadrupole polarizabilities within the framework of the relativistic coupled-cluster theory. We directly solve the first order perturbed equation arising from a general one-electron perturbation, thereby avoiding an explicit summation over intermediate states. This method can be applied to a wide range of problems including the high preci...

We present the analysis on the quadrupole phases of the Internal Linear Combination map, ILC(I) and (III) derived by the WMAP team (1 and 3-year data release). This approach allows us to see the global trend of non-Gaussianity of the quadrupoles for the ILC(III) map through phase correlations with the foregrounds. Significant phase correlations is found in between the ILC(III) quadrupole and th...

A tempting goal of artificial life is to model independently acting human characters that appear to behave realistically to a viewer. By modeling artificial human characters engaged in one activity, such as boxing, we may gain insights into the larger problem of creating convincing humans. In the case of boxing, we are specifically concerned with reactive motion. A boxer must react quickly to i...

Spark plasma sintering technique is used for the fabrication of dense materials with a fine-grained microstructure. In this process, powder placed into graphite mold and uniaxial pressure applied by two punches. A foil inserted between punches to ensure good electrical, physical thermal contact. One major drawbacks during metal powders carburization in contact foils. study, PVD coating titanium...

BACKGROUND Tissue microarray (TMA) technology allows rapid visualization of molecular markers by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. In addition, TMA instrumentation has the potential to assist in other applications: punches taken from donor blocks can be placed directly into tubes and used for nucleic acid analysis by PCR approaches. However, the question of possible cross-contamin...

This work aimed to study the automation of measuring speed punches boxers during shadow boxing using inertial measurement units (IMUs) based on an artificial neural network (ANN). In boxing, for effective development athlete, constant control punch is required. However, even when modern means kinematic parameters, it necessary record circumstances under which was performed: The type (jab, cross...
