The local adsorption structure of methylthiolate in the ordered Au(111)-(sqrt[3]xsqrt[3])R30 degrees phase has been investigated using core-level-shift measurements of the surface and bulk components of the Au 4f(7/2) photoelectron binding energy. The amplitude ratio of the core-level-shift components associated with surface Au atoms that are, and are not, bonded to the thiolate is found to be ...

We prove that a sequence of sets containing representatives of cupping partners for every nonzero ∆2 enumeration degree cannot have a ∆ 0 2 enumeration. We also prove that no subclass of the Σ 2 enumeration degrees containing the nonzero 3-c.e. enumeration degrees can be cupped to 0e by a single incomplete Σ 2 enumeration degree.

Two fundamental invariants attached to a projective variety are its classical algebraic degree and Euclidean Distance (ED degree). In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of these two degrees some Segre products their dual varieties. We analyze asymptotics (hypercubical) hyperdeterminants, hypersurfaces offer an alternative viewpoint on stabilization ED Although phenomenon was incidenta...

A novel atomic layer deposition process for the preparation of fluoride thin films in a temperature range of 225 degrees C-400 degrees C is introduced. The crystallinity, morphology, composition, thicknesses, refractive indices, and transmittance of the films are analyzed. Low impurity levels are obtained at 350 degrees C-400 degrees C with good stoichiometry. Refractive indices of 1.34-1.42 fo...

Auditory spatial acuity was measured in mice using prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the acoustic startle reflex as the indicator response for stimulus detection. The prepulse was a "speaker swap" (SSwap), shifting a noise between two speakers located along the azimuth. Their angular separation, and the spectral composition and sound level of the noise were varied, as was the interstimulus interval ...

The behavior of purified egg lecithin in water has been investigated in relation to the quantity of water present and the temperature. The complete binary phase diagram of egg lecithin-water is presented as well as X-ray diffraction data on selected mixtures. Dry egg lecithin is present in at least partially crystalline form until about 40 degrees C. Above this temperature it forms a "wax-like"...

We investigated the melting point of the hydrated solid and rheological property of wormlike micellar solutions in the water/sucrose monopalmitate (C(16)SE)/tri (oxyethylene) dodecyl ether (C(12)EO(3)) system when a part of C(16)SE was substituted with the surfactants which have lower Krafft point than C(16)SE. The melting point of the hydrated solid of the water/C(16)SE/C(12)EO(3) system is ar...
