Surface width scaling in noise reduced Eden clusters
The surface width scaling of Eden A clusters grown from a single aggregate
site on the square lattice is investigated as a function of the noise reduction
parameter. A two-exponent scaling ansatz is introduced and used to fit the
results from simulations covering the range from fully stochastic to the
zero-noise limit.Comment: 4 pages, RevTex, 3 figure

An alternative search for the electron capture of Te-123
A search for the electron capture of Te-123 has been performed using CdZnTe
detectors. After a measuring time of 195 h no signal could be found resulting
in a lower half-life limt of yrs (95 % CL) for
this process. This clearly discriminates between existing experimental results
which differ by six orders of magnitude and our data are in strong favour of
the result with longer half-lifes.Comment: 2 pages, 2 eps-figures, reanalysis of data set
NLO prescription for unintegrated parton distributions
We show how parton distributions unintegrated over the parton transverse
momentum, k_t, may be generated, at NLO accuracy, from the known integrated
(DGLAP-evolved) parton densities determined from global data analyses. A few
numerical examples are given, which demonstrate that sufficient accuracy is
obtained by keeping only the LO splitting functions together with the NLO
integrated parton densities. However, it is important to keep the precise
kinematics of the process, by taking the scale to be the virtuality rather than
the transverse momentum, in order to be consistent with the calculation of the
NLO splitting functions.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures. v2: version to appear in Eur. Phys. J.
Development of Temperature and Humidity-Based Indicators for Diagnosing Problems in Low Tonnage, Split System Air Conditioners
This paper presents results of a survey of the
literature and identifies the most common degraded
conditions associated with low-tonnage air
conditioners. Other laboratory studies as well as
marketed diagnostic systems are also summarized. A
procedure for identification of useful, low-cost
temperature-based indicators of degraded conditions
has been developed at the Energy Systems
Laboratory, Texas A&M University in College
Station, TX under contract to Honeywell. This paper
presents the methodology used to identify the
temperature-based indicators for the most common
degraded conditions gleaned from the literature
