It was shown that, in the presence of the steep temperature gradients characteristic of EUV models of the solar transition region, the electron and proton velocity distribution functions are non-Maxwellian and are characterized by high energy tails. The magnitude of these tails are estimated for a model of the transition region and the heat flux is calculated at a maximum of 30 percent greater than predicted by collision-dominated theory.
A Lambertian reference standard for uniformly scattering a beam of light is constructed of a plate having a planar surface with a layer of glue disposed on the surface. An evenly packed layer of monodisperse spheres is set in the layer, and when the standard is used for bi-directional (BRDF) measurements, the spheres are coated with a layer of highly relective substance, such as gold or silver. When the standard is used for bi-directional transmittance distribution function (BTDF) measurements, the spheres are of a transparent material and are provided with a roughened surface, as by acid etching. In this case, the layer of glue is an optical cement, and the plate is of glass, with the spheres, the layer, and the plate all possessing a similar refractive index.
The bound quadratic Hamiltonian system is analyzed explicitly on the basis of quantum mechanics. We have derived the invariant quantity with an auxiliary equation as the classical equation of motion. With the use of this invariant it can be determined whether or not the system is bound. In bound system we have evaluated the exact eigenfunction and minimum uncertainty function through unitary transformation.
This paper describes the use of UBV photometry of 14 associations in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds to derive luminosity and mass functions for the most massive stars in the associations.
A method, system, apparatus and device for the monitoring, diagnosis and evaluation of the state of a dynamic pulmonary system is disclosed. This method and system provides the processing means for receiving sensed and/or simulated data, converting such data into a displayable object format and displaying such objects in a manner such that the interrelationships between the respective variables can be correlated and identified by a user. This invention provides for the rapid cognitive grasp of the overall state of a pulmonary critical function with respect to a dynamic system.
An apparatus, method, and computer program that can learn a linear or non-linear transfer function are disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a computer-implemented method may include creating a plurality of combinations for at least one input, and calculating an output for the plurality of combinations. The method may also include calculating an error based on the calculated output.

Carbon electrodes are ideal for electrochemistry with molecular catalysts, exhibiting facile charge transfer and good stability. Yet for solar-driven catalysis with semiconductor light absorbers, stable semiconductor/carbon interfaces can be difficult to achieve, and carbon’s high optical extinction means it can only be used in ultrathin layers. Here, we demonstrate a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process that achieves well-controlled deposition of out-of-plane “fuzzy” graphene (FG) on thermally oxidized Si substrates. The resulting Si|FG interfaces possess a silicon oxycarbide (SiOC) interfacial layer, implying covalent bonding between Si and the FG film that is consistent with the mechanical robustness observed from the films. The FG layer is uniform and tunable in thickness and optical transparency by deposition time. Using p-type Si|FG substrates, noncovalent immobilization of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) molecular catalysts was employed for the photoelectrochemical reduction of CO 2 in aqueous solution. The Si|FG|CoPc photocathodes exhibited good catalytic activity, yielding a current density of ∼1 mA/cm 2 , Faradaic efficiency for CO of ∼70% (balance H 2 ), and stable photocurrent for at least 30 h at −1.5 V vs Ag/AgCl under 1-sun illumination. Furthermore, the results suggest that plasma-deposited FG is a robust carbon electrode for molecular catalysts and suitable for further development of aqueous-stable Si photocathodes for CO 2 reduction.
