Kavli Affiliate: Tom Chang | First 5 Authors: Tom Chang, Cheng-chin Wu, , , | Summary: We describe a new method that is both physically explicable and quantitatively accurate in describing the multifractal characteristics of intermittent events based on groupings of rank-ordered fluctuations. The generic nature of such rank-ordered spectrum leads it to a natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth W. Digel | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: We calculate the gamma-ray albedo flux from cosmic-ray (CR) interactions with the solid rock and ice in Main Belt asteroids (MBAs), Jovian and Neptunian Trojan asteroids, and Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) using the Moon as a template. We show […]
Kavli Affiliate: Martin Depken | First 5 Authors: Martin Depken, Helmut Schiessel, , , | Summary: Apart from being the gateway for all access to the eukaryotic genome, chromatin has in recent years been identified as carrying an epigenetic code regulating transcriptional activity. The detailed knowledge of this code contrasts the ignorance of the fiber […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Belcher | First 5 Authors: Yao Liu, John Belcher, , , | Summary: We present visualizations of the diffusion and expulsion of magnetic flux for thin conducting sheets, both stationary and moving, including representations of the eddy currents and of the associated magnetic fields. Such visualizations can play an important role in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomiyoshi Haruyama | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Tomaru, Masao Tokunari, Kazuaki Kuroda, Takashi Uchiyama, Akira Okutomi | Summary: A large heat load caused by thermal radiation through a metal shield pipe was observed in a cooling test of a cryostat for a prototype of a cryogenic interferometric gravitational wave detector. The heat load […]
Kavli Affiliate: Slawomir Gras | First 5 Authors: Chunnong Zhao, Li Ju, Haixing Miao, Slawomir Gras, Yaohui Fan | Summary: A new device, the opto-acoustic parametric amplifier (OAPA), is introduced, which is analogous to an optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The radiation pressure reaction of light on the reflective surface of an acoustic resonator provides nonlinearity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jiansheng Chen | First 5 Authors: Jianghua Wu, Xu Zhou, Jun Ma, Zhenyu Wu, Zhaoji Jiang | Summary: Very recently, J 1128+5925 was found to show strong intraday variability at radio wavelengths and may be a new source with annual modulation of the timescale of its radio variability. Therefore, its radio variability can […]
Kavli Affiliate: Donald Lamb | First 5 Authors: Roberto Benzi, Luca Biferale, Robert Fisher, Leo Kadanoff, Donald Lamb | Summary: We performed high resolution numerical simulations of homogenous and isotropic compressible turbulence, with an average 3D Mach number close to 0.3. We study the statistical properties of intermittency for velocity, density and entropy. For the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter F. Michelson | First 5 Authors: Stephen E. Healey, Roger W. Romani, Garret Cotter, Peter F. Michelson, Edward F. Schlafly | Summary: We describe a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray AGN. The defined […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | First 5 Authors: Stephen S. Eikenberry, Shannon G. Patel, David M. Rothstein, Ronald Remillard, Guy G. Pooley | Summary: We report infrared observations of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 using the NICMOS instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope during 9 visits in April-June 2003. During epochs of high X-ray/radio activity near […]
