Critical behavior of a tumor growth model: directed percolation with a mean-field flavor.
2012
We examine the critical behaviour of a lattice model of tumor growth where supplied nutrients are correlated with the distribution of tumor cells. Our results support the previous report (Ferreira et al., Phys. Rev. E 85, 010901 (2012)), which suggested that the critical behaviour of the model differs from the expected Directed Percolation (DP) universality class. Surprisingly, only some of the critical exponents (beta, alpha, nu_perp, and z) take non-DP values while some others (beta', nu_||, and spreading-dynamics exponents Theta, delta, z') remain very close to their DP counterparts. The obtained exponents satisfy the scaling relations beta=alpha*nu_||, beta'=delta*nu_||, and the general…
Structure and Properties of YbZnSn, YbAgSn, and Yb2Pt2Pb
1999
Abstract YbZnSn, YbAgSn, and Yb2Pt2Pb were synthesized by reacting the elements in sealed tantalum tubes in a high-frequency furnace. The structures of YbAgSn and Yb2Pt2Pb were refined from single crystal X-ray data: YbAgPb type, P 6 m2, a=479.2(2) pm, c=1087.3(3) pm, wR2=0.050, BASF=0.34(8), 509 F2 values, 18 variables for YbAgSn and Er2Au2Sn type, a=776.0(1) pm, c=701.8(2) pm, wR2=0.072, 426 F2 values, 18 variables for Yb2Pt2Pb. The lattice constants of YbZnSn are confirmed: NdPtSb type, P63mc, a=464.7(1) pm, c=747.7(2) pm. The stannides YbZnSn and YbAgSn crystallize with superstructures of the AlB2 type. The zinc (silver) and tin atoms form ordered Zn3Sn3 and Ag3Sn3 hexagons, respectivel…

Lattice dynamics of superconducting zirconium and hafnium nitride halides
2003
We have performed a study of the Raman active modes of β-HfNCl, β-ZrNCl, and β-ZrNBr and Na-doped β-HfNCl in various scattering configurations. The experimental values are compared with a lattice dynamical calculation andassigned to definite atomic motions. The variation of the atomic force constants are analyzed as a function of the bond length, relating their relative strength with the atomic characteristics of the compound.
Topological properties of cellular automata on trees
2012
We prove that there do not exist positively expansive cellular automata defined on the full k-ary tree shift (for k>=2). Moreover, we investigate some topological properties of these automata and their relationships, namely permutivity, surjectivity, preinjectivity, right-closingness and openness.
Synchrotron radiation multiple diffraction study of Al0.304Ga0.172In0.524As MOVPE grown onto InP(001)
1997
Synchrotron radiation multiple diffraction in Renninger scanning (RS) geometry is used to characterise an Al0.304Ga0.172In0.524 As hetero-epitaxial layer MOVPE grown onto InP(001). (006) RS data for bulk, InP substrate and the quaternary layer were obtained using a new experimental set-up on station 7.6 at the Daresbury synchrotron radiation source. Examination of the multiple diffraction peak profiles reveal the epitaxial layers to have a higher mosaic spread than the underlying substrate materials. Measurements of the layer parallel lattice parameter a∥ = 5.8755 ± 0.003 A, as deduced from the tetragonal distortion measured at the 6-beam case in the layer RS, agrees very well with that obt…
A truncated driven Overhauser effect study of Adriamycin in water: Conformation of the glycosidic linkage
1991
Abstract Truncated driven nuclear Overhauser effect difference spectra have been used to ascertain the conformational characteristics of the glycosidic linkage of Adriamycin in aqueous solution. The “two-spin approximation” has been employed to evaluate the cross-relaxation rates between nearby protons and to obtain the relative internuclear distances. The rotational angles φ1 = C(7)−O(7)−C(1′)−(H1′) and φ2 = H(7)−C(7)−O(7)−C(1′) have also been calculated.
Lattice fluid model generalized for specific interactions: An application to ternary polymer solutions
2011
Abstract The phase diagram of the Poly- l -Lactic-Acid (PLLA), dioxane and water system was derived by using the lattice fluid model generalized for specific interactions. A qualitative analysis of Hansen solubility parameters together with empirical observations were adopted to reduce the number of adjustable parameters. The as-selected model parameters were derived by fitting a set of cloud point curves; consequently, the complete phase diagram of the system was computed. The use of specific interactions between species gave out a quantitative agreement with a set of experimental data, whereas changing the polymer polydispersity the agreement is only qualitative. In principle, the present…
Dynamics of confined polymer melts: Recent Monte Carlo simulation results
2000
The dynamic behavior of thin polymer films is studied by Monte Carlo simulations of a simplified lattice model. The film geometry is realized by two opposite hard walls whose distance is varied in the simulations. In the films the dynamics is accelerated with respect to the bulk, leading to a decrease of the extrapolated glass transition temperature with decreasing film thickness.
The glass transition in (KI)0.5(ND4I)0.5 mixed crystals as studied by deuteron spin-lattice relaxation
1993
Abstract Nuclear spin resonance has been used to study the deuteron magnetization recovery in (KI)0.5(ND4I)0.5 mixed crystals. At high temperatures the spin-lattice-relaxation is exponential. For T ⪅ 45 K deviations from this simple behaviour occur, signalling the onset of spatial inhomogeneities due to the formation of an orientational glass. The results demonstrate that the transition of (KI)0.5(ND4I)0.5 into the glassy state is driven by the freezing of random bonds.
