Genesis of a Poetics of Silence by Enora Lessinger

“…This short story prefigures very clearly Ishiguro’s later novels, and deals with themes dear to him: memory, family, trauma and guilt, the atomic bomb as an absent centre. It also presents a very clear picture of the genesis of his writing style, centred around a poetics of silence, both at the diegetic and narratorial levels.…”

Phototunable Magnetism in Copper Octacyanomolybdate by Jun Ohara, Shoji Yamamoto

“…Electrons are fully itinerant in any of the photoinduced steady states, forming a striking contrast to the initial equilibrium state of atomic aspect. The fully demagnetized final steady state looks completely different from the initial paramagnetism but bears good analogy to one of the possible ground states available with the Coulomb repulsion on Cu sites suppressed.…”

Hemoglobin: A Nitric-Oxide Dioxygenase by Paul R. Gardner

“…The mechanism of NOD catalysis by representative single domain hemoglobins and multidomain flavohemoglobin occurs through a multistep mechanism involving O2 migration to the heme pocket, O2 binding-reduction, NO migration, radical-radical coupling, O-atom rearrangement, nitrate release, and heme iron re-reduction. …”

Clutter Mitigation in Echocardiography Using Sparse Signal Separation by Javier S. Turek, Michael Elad, Irad Yavneh

“…The MCA approach assumes that the two signals in the additive mix have each a sparse representation under some dictionary of atoms (a matrix), and separation is achieved by finding these sparse representations. …”

Synthesis and study of superacid ZrO–SiO–AlO mixed oxide by Olena Inshina, Alexander Korduban, German Tel'biz, Volodymyr Brei

“…Observed high-energy shift of Zr 3 d 5/2 peak in the X-ray photoelectron spectrum and low-field shift of 29 Si nuclear magnetic resonance signal of superacid Zr 35 Si 53 Al 12 oxide indicate that the electron density transfers from zirconium to silicon atom. The generation of superacidity in ZrO 2 –SiO 2 –Al 2 O 3 matrix could be explained by formation of coordinatively unsaturated Zr 4+ ions which are strong L-sites. …”

On the five base quantities of nature and SI (The International System of Units) by Kaptay G.

“…The five base quantities are re-defined in this paper by connecting them to five fundamental constants of nature (the most accurately known frequency of the hydrogen atom, the speed of light, the Planck constant, the Boltzmann constant and the elementary charge) with their numerical values fixed in accordance with their CODATA 2006 values (to be improved by further experiments).…”
