The article describes a model of interaction dynamics between a dislocation and dipolar dislocation loops. The interaction is essential for dipolar dislocation structure formation in early stages of a hardening process. For the description of the dislocation curve a direct parametric approach is employed whereas the loops are treated as rigid objects. The model equations are solved approximatel...

In the quest for the "ideal" soft tissue filler, many diverse products have been developed. The expanding market of available fillers is a testament that no one product will ideally suit all patients or clinicians. In addition, the challenge of satisfying the criteria of an ideal filler has driven researchers to take a variety of development paths. This has resulted in multiple categories to ch...

Twenty years ago, IBM Corp. was the most vigorous advocate of (very) “strong” intellectual property (IP) rights for computer programs. Without strong copyright protection for programs, IBM contended, there would be insufficient incentives for firms to invest in software development. IBM’s executives and lawyers asserted that (1) copyright law protected program code from copying and redistributi...

In this paper we appraise current agricultural subsidy policy in the EU. Several sources of its inefficiency are identified: it is inefficient for supporting farmers' incomes or guaranteeing food security, and irrational transfer payments decoupled from actual performance that may be negative for environmental protection, social cohesion, etc. Based on a simplified economic model, we prove that...

mitochondria play an important role in energy production for the cell. the proper function of a myocardial cell largely depends on the functional capacity of the mitochondria.  therefore it is necessary to establish a novel and reliable method for a non-invasive assessment of mitochondrial function and metabolism in humans. although originally designed for evaluating myocardial perfusion, 99mtc...

When a solar cell is subjected to negative voltage bias, it locally heats up due the deposited electrical power. Therefore, every investigation of characteristics in regime faces challenge that measurement itself changes state way difficult quantify: On one hand, reverse breakdown known be strongly temperature dependent. other voltages lead metastable device which are also very sensitive temper...
