Based on a thermodynamic model for size-dependent melting temperature, the size-dependent band-gap of low dimensional semiconductor compounds is modeled without any adjustable parameter. The model predicts an increase of the band-gap of nanoparticles and nanowires for IIBVIB and IIIB-VB semiconductor compounds, with decreasing their size, which is supported by available experimental and other t...

We present results of a renormalization-group calculation of the thermal conductivity of confined He in a L ×∞ geometry above and at Tλ within model F with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the order parameter. We assume a heat flow parallel to the boundaries which implies Neumann boundary conditions for the entropy density. No adjustable parameters other than those known from bulk theory and s...

RNA can fold into a topological structure called a pseudoknot, composed of non-nested double-stranded stems connected by single-stranded loops. Our examination of the PseudoBase database of pseudoknotted RNA structures reveals asymmetries in the stem and loop lengths and provocative composition differences between the loops. By taking into account differences between major and minor grooves of ...

The field programmable gate array is the fastest growing technology. The bio-impedance measurement system is implemented in reconfigurable field programmable gate array hardware. The design of bio-impedance measurement system using Xilinx system generator is more convenient and cheaper for revising, if the Bio-impedance measurement system requires parameters changes in practical use, since no n...

An effective theory of large NC QCD of mesons has been used to study six Kl4 decay modes. It has been found that the matrix elements of the axial-vector current dominate the Kl4 decays. PCAC is satisfied. A relationship between three form factors of axial-vector current has been found. Non-zero phase shifts are originated in ρ → ππ. The decay rates are calculated in the chiral limit. In this st...

Existing cell switched and packet switched transmission systems have difficulties to support real-time data transfer because the queuing characteristics and load variations in the network nodes are a handicap for it. With our interval-based transmission control method the data stream behavior is regulated in each network node and a data stream dependent time parameter adjustment is performed in...

A control system based on a combination of the gain-scheduling control method and an adaptive PID controller was designed for the production of xylose from hardwood hemicellulose using a stirring tank reactor. Different operating conditions have been considered for estimating the adjustable parameter (theta) to take into account the changes of energy of the system. The performance of the contro...

Theoretical study of anomalous decay mode τ → ωπππν is presented. Theoretical value of the branching ratio of τ − → ωπ − π 0 π 0 ν agrees well with data. The branching ratio of τ − → ωπ + π − π − ν τ is predicted. It is found that the vertices of a 1 ρπ and ωρπ play dominant role in these two decay modes. CVC is satisfied and there is no adjustable parameter.

A novel structure containing self-assembled, unstrained GaAs quantum dots is obtained by combining solid-source molecular beam epitaxy and atomic-layer precise in situ etching. Photo-luminescence (PL) spectroscopy reveals light emission with very narrow inhomogeneous broadening and clearly resolved excited states at high excitation intensity. The dot morphology is determined by scanning probe m...

We present a method for achieving geometrical constraint stabilization for a linear-complementarity-based time-stepping scheme for rigid multibody dynamics with joints, contact, and friction. The method requires the solution of only one linear complementarity problem per step. The method depends on an adjustable parameter γ, but the constraint stabilization effect is shown to hold for any γ ∈ (...
