Trapping of dielectric particles with light-induced space-charge fields
Light-induced space-charge fields in lithium niobate crystals are used to trap and manipulate dielectric particles on the surface of such crystals. Without any external voltage source, strong field gradients are present in the proximity of the crystal surface. These are used to trap particles with diameters in the range between 100 nm and some tens of micrometers
Review of the Marine Monitoring Program (MMP)
The Marine Monitoring Program (MMP) monitors the condition of inshore water quality and aims to link this to changes in the health of key inshore environments (coral reefs and seagrass). This report provides a review of each of the 5 programs based on the best available information that was provided by the MMP providers at the time of the review
The normalized quadrature method of moments coupled with finite pointset method
This work reports the numerical performance of the Normalized Quadrature Method of Moments (NQMOM) involving more than one quadrature node (secondary particle) for dispersed phase flows coupled with the Finite Pointset Method (FPM). At first, the model used for the dispersed phase acting in a continuous environment is discussed briefly, followed by a theoretical discussion of NQMOM and FPM. Further sections report the numerical performance for test problems with increasing difficulty

The title compound {systematic name: N-cyclohexylcarbamoyl-4-[2-(7-methoxy-4,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl)ethyl]benzenesulfonamide}, C27H33N3O6S, displays an intramolecular N—H⋯O=S interaction, as well as intermolecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. The latter interactions lead to the formation of hydrogen-bonded chains parallel to the c axis. The conformation of the sulfonylurea fragment is in agreement with a recent theoretical study [Kasetti et al. (2010 ▶). J. Phys. Chem. B, 114, 11603–11610]
Many-body localization and thermalization in the full probability distribution function of observables
We investigate the relation between thermalization following a quantum quench
and many-body localization in quasiparticle space in terms of the long-time
full distribution function of physical observables. In particular, expanding on
our recent work [E. Canovi {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. B {\bf 83}, 094431 (2011)],
we focus on the long-time behavior of an integrable XXZ chain subject to an
integrability-breaking perturbation. After a characterization of the breaking
of integrability and the associated localization/delocalization transition
using the level spacing statistics and the properties of the eigenstates, we
study the effect of integrability-breaking on the asymptotic state after a
quantum quench of the anisotropy parameter, looking at the behavior of the full
probability distribution of the transverse and longitudinal magnetization of a
subsystem. We compare the resulting distributions with those obtained in
equilibrium at an effective temperature set by the initial energy. We find
that, while the long time distribution functions appear to always agree {\it
qualitatively} with the equilibrium ones, {\it quantitative} agreement is
obtained only when integrability is fully broken and the relevant eigenstates
are diffusive in quasi-particle space.Comment: 18 pages, 11 figure
