SrAl2O4: Eu, Dy, B particles were added in a phosphate glass (90NaPO3-10NaF (in mol%)) using the direct doping method. For first time, composition of prior to and after embedding them was analysed EPMA analysis. Boron found be incorporated already distorted surroundings creating new trapping centers which are thought favourable for tunnelling process so afterglow at 10K. Despite partial decompo...

A two stage Gifford-McMahon cryocooler having a low temperature stage for reaching approximately 10K, wherein the low temperature stage includes a passive magnetic heat regenerator selected from the group consisting of Er.sub.6 Ni.sub.2 Sn, Er.sub.6 Ni.sub.2 Pb, Er.sub.6 Ni.sub.2 (Sn.sub.0.75 Ga.sub.0.25), and Er.sub.9 Ni.sub.3 Sn comprising a mixture of Er.sub.3 Ni and Er.sub.6 Ni.sub.2 Sn in ...

was normal (in the sense of Borel) with respect to the base 10, a normal number being one whose digits exhibit a complete randomness. More precisely a number is normal provided each of the digits 0, 1, 2, • • • , 9 occurs with a limiting relative frequency of 1/10 and each of the 10k sequences of k digits occurs with the frequency 10_k . Champernowne conjectured that if the sequence of all inte...

Screen space rendering statistics were gathered from 150 3D objects, each modeled by between 2K and 40K triangles. While there is wide variance by individual object, the overall trend is that the distribution of triangles by screen size is roughly exponential in the direction of small triangles. From a subjective esthetics point of view, tessellations required 10K visible triangles per quarter ...

Introduction The Hammercores by Altera high performance, soft decision Viterbi decoder cores are optimized for Altera FLEX 6000, FLEX 10K and APEX 20K devices. They are user parameterized to implement any number of standard decoders, or to quickly realize a custom application. The cores are capable of throughput (decoded bits out) of over 50 to 100 Mbps, even for relatively large constraint len...

SUMMARY We present the first parallel implementation of the T-Coffee consistency-based multiple aligner. We benchmark it on the Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2) and show that the parallelization procedure is reasonably effective. We also conclude that for a web server with moderate usage (10K hits/month) the cloud provides a cost-effective alternative to in-house deployment. AVAILABILITY T-Coffee i...

We report a low-pressure microfluidic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) fragmentation device based on a combination of mechanical hydrodynamic shearing and low temperature sample heating. Conventional DNA fragmentation based on hydrodynamic shearing is capable of achieving fragment lengths (FL) < 10k bp with pressures ∆P > 1 bar. The application of a small amount of additional thermal energy to the b...
