We construct a two-dimensional N = (0, 4) quiver gauge theory on D1-brane probing D5-branes on ALE space, and study its IR behavior. This can be thought of as a gauged linear sigma model for the NS5-branes on ALE space.

Third-generation HF Automatic Link Establishment (ALE) achieves order-of-magnitude improvements over second-generation ALE in linking speed, network size, and traffic capacity. In this paper we examine the individual contributions to this performance by several of the techniques standardized in the third generation, including synchronous operation, dwell groups, and separate calling and traffic...

This paper describes assessment features of the Adaptive Learning Environment (ALE) for web-based authoring and learning. ALE provides a reach set of tools for assessment of students: various types of tests, exercises, quizzes and questionnaires. The system offers flexible way of their authoring, presentation and results tracking.

ALE-AMR is a new hydrocode that we are developing as a predictive modeling tool for debris and shrapnel formation in high-energy laser experiments. In this paper we present our approach to implementing laser ray tracing in ALE-AMR. We present the basic concepts of laser ray tracing and our approach to efficiently traverse the adaptive mesh hierarchy.

In the WINDS project we have develo ped the ALE learning management system to support Architecture and Civil Engineering Design Courses. The ALE system integrates the functionality of an e -Learning system with adaptive educational hypermedia on the Web. Our plan is to further develop the system towards mobile learning in the new RAFT project.

A widely used technique for coordinate-based meta-analyses of neuroimaging data is activation likelihood estimation (ALE). ALE assesses the overlap between foci based on modeling them as probability distributions centered at the respective coordinates. In this Human Brain Project/Neuroinformatics research, the authors present a revised ALE algorithm addressing drawbacks associated with former i...

Droplet impact onto a solid surface is modeled and numerically simulated using an ALE formulation of the Navier-Stokes free surface equations. The triple line dynamics aspect is modeled implicitely through the Shikhmurzaev theory. Those equations involve a generalized Navier slip boundary conditions with the variation of the surface tension near the triple line (thus a local Marangoni effect). ...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone repair process at the bone/implant interface of osteoporotic rats treated with sodium alendronate through the analysis of microtomography, real time polymerase chain reactions and immunohistochemistry (RUNX2 protein, bone sialoprotein (BSP), alkaline phosphatase, osteopontin and osteocalcin). Material and Methods A total of 42 rats were...

The evaluation of a plasma-based atomic layer etching (ALE) approach for native oxide surface removal from Si substrates is described. Objectives include removal of the native oxide while minimizing substrate damage, surface residues and substrate loss. Oxide thicknesses were measured using in situ ellipsometry and surface chemistry was analyzed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The cyclic A...
