Surface structure and catalytic activity of amorphous metallic alloys Fe-Nb-B-RE (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) in alkaline solution by L Boichyshyn, M-O Danyliak, B Kotur

“…The thermal stability and characteristics of the surface of the Fe 82 Nb 2 B 14 RE 2 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy) amorphous alloys were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and atomic force microscopy methods. Alloying of the Fe 84 Nb 2 B 14 alloy by 2 at.% of RE results to increase of nanocrystallization temperature on 110 K for amorphous Fe 82 Nb 2 B 14 RE 2 (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy). …”

Generalized approach for rapid entropy calculation of liquids and solids by Qi-Jun Hong, Zi-Kui Liu

“…The most arduous component to quantify, the configurational entropy, is assessed by probability analysis of the local structural arrangement and atomic distribution. We illustrate, through a variety of examples, that this method is both a versatile and valid technique for characterizing the thermodynamic states of both solids and liquids. …”

Eine kurze Geschichte der deutschsprachigen Science Fiction by Hans Esselborn

“…After the Second World War, there was an ideological split between West and East German literature although they dealt with similar topics like the atomic disaster. Since the sixties, a strong Anglo-American influence has been felt on science fiction literature so that it is even possible now to talk of a global form of science fiction literature. …”

Blind adaptive matching pursuit algorithm for signal reconstruction based on sparsity trial and error by Wen-biao TIAN, Zheng FU, Guo-sheng RUI

“…Compressed sensing is a novel signal processing theory that it introduces a novel way of acquiring compressible signals,the test times of existing sparsity trial and error algorithms were always large.The novel algorithm,blind sparsity adaptive matching pursuit (BSAMP) was proposed,could recover the original signal fast in the case of unknown sparsity.Firstly,the range of sparsity was determined,and each time half of values in current range were eliminated by trial and error test.Secondly,the number of atoms was twice the sparsity,which was united with the set of signal approximation support (got by last iteration) and then reconstructed the signal by solving least-squares problems.Last but not least,the least-squares approximation was pruned by weakly matching for next iteration.The results of simulation show that the novel algorithm can reconstruct signal faster and get larger recovery probability than other similar algorithms in the same conditions.…”

A DFT Study on Selected Physical Organic Aspects of the Fischer Carbene Intermediates [(M(CO)4(C(OMe)Me)] by Tareq Irshaidat

“…This conclusion was made based on calculated NMR data (for carbon and hydrogen), structural parameters, energy calculations of conformers (C-C conformation), selected IR stretching frequencies (C-O, C-C, and C-H), and atomic charges. The agostic interaction is most efficient in case of chromium and in general is described as an overlap between the σ-bond electron pair of C-H with an empty d-orbital of the metal. …”
