Scheduling language and algorithm development study. Volume 2, phase 2: Introduction to plans programming

A user guide for the Programming Language for Allocation and Network Scheduling (PLANS) is presented. Information is included for the construction of PLANS programs. The basic philosophy of PLANS is discussed, and access and update reference techniques are described along with the use of tree structures

Organopalladium catalyst on S-terminated GaAs(001)-(2×6) surface

Organopalladium molecules, such as Pd(CH3COO)2 ({Pd}), immobilized on the S-terminated GaAs(001), termed GaAs–S–{Pd} have high catalytic activity and cycle durability in the Mizoroki–Heck reaction. It is thought that the presence of Ga–S bonds in the single atomic layer S-termination is essential for these catalytic properties despite the much higher thickness (~100 nm) of the {Pd} films. In this study, the authors demonstrate the retention of Ga–S bonds in ultrathin GaAs–S–{Pd} by using reflection high-energy electron diffraction and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The ultrathin GaAs–S–{Pd} was prepared by using a vapor-deposition technique. Deposited {Pd} was observed as ~1 nm dotlike structures with STM. The adsorption rate of {Pd} was also investigated

Operation of Faddeev-Kernel in Configuration Space

We present a practical method to solve Faddeev three-body equations at energies above three-body breakup threshold as integral equations in coordinate space. This is an extension of previously used method for bound states and scattering states below three-body breakup threshold energy. We show that breakup components in three-body reactions produce long-range effects on Faddeev integral kernels in coordinate space, and propose numerical procedures to treat these effects. Using these techniques, we solve Faddeev equations for neutron-deuteron scattering to compare with benchmark solutions.Comment: 20 pages, 8 figures, to be published in Few-Body System

Polar Field Reversal Observations with Hinode

We have been monitoring yearly variation in the Sun's polar magnetic fields with the Solar Optical Telescope aboard {\it Hinode} to record their evolution and expected reversal near the solar maximum. All magnetic patches in the magnetic flux maps are automatically identified to obtain the number density and magnetic flux density as a function of th total magnetic flux per patch. The detected magnetic flux per patch ranges over four orders of magnitude ($10^{15}$ -- $10^{20}$ Mx). The higher end of the magnetic flux in the polar regions is about one order of magnitude larger than that of the quiet Sun, and nearly that of pores. Almost all large patches ($\geq 10^{18}$ Mx) have the same polarity, while smaller patches have a fair balance of both polarities. The polarity of the polar region as a whole is consequently determined only by the large magnetic concentrations. A clear decrease in the net flux of the polar region is detected in the slow rising phase of the current solar cycle. The decrease is more rapid in the north polar region than in the south. The decrease in the net flux is caused by a decrease in the number and size of the large flux concentrations as well as the appearance of patches with opposite polarity at lower latitudes. In contrast, we do not see temporal change in the magnetic flux associated with the smaller patches ($< 10^{18}$ Mx) and that of the horizontal magnetic fields during the years 2008--2012.Comment: 21 pages, 7 figures.
