A parity conserving dimer model with infinitely many absorbing states
We propose and study a model where, for the first time, two aspects are
present: parity conservation and infinitely many absorbing states. Whereas
steady-state simulations show that the static critical behaviour is not
affected by the presence of multiple absorbing configurations, the influence of
the initial state associated with the presence of slowly decaying memory
effects is clearly displayed in time dependent simulations. We report results
of a detailed investigation of the dependence of critical spreading exponents
on the initial particle density.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures.p
Hyperfine Quenching of the Level in Zn-like Ions
In this paper, we used the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method to compute
with high precision the influence of the hyperfine interaction on the
level lifetime in Zn-like ions for stable and some
quasi-stable isotopes of nonzero nuclear spin between Z=30 and Z=92. The
influence of this interaction on the separation energy is also calculated for the same ions
Video browsing interfaces and applications: a review
We present a comprehensive review of the state of the art in video browsing and retrieval systems, with special emphasis on interfaces and applications. There has been a significant increase in activity (e.g., storage, retrieval, and sharing) employing video data in the past decade, both for personal and professional use. The ever-growing amount of video content available for human consumption and the inherent characteristics of video data—which, if presented in its raw format, is rather unwieldy and costly—have become driving forces for the development of more effective solutions to present video contents and allow rich user interaction. As a result, there are many contemporary research efforts toward developing better video browsing solutions, which we summarize. We review more than 40 different video browsing and retrieval interfaces and classify them into three groups: applications that use video-player-like interaction, video retrieval applications, and browsing solutions based on video surrogates. For each category, we present a summary of existing work, highlight the technical aspects of each solution, and compare them against each other
Analysis of X-ray spectra emitted from laser-produced plasmas of uranium
In this paper, we used the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock method to generate
theoretical X-ray spectra for Co-, Ni-, Cu-, Zn-, Ga-, Ge-, As-, Se-, Br-, Kr-,
and Rb-like uranium ions. Using the distribution of these ions in a
laser-produced plasma, for different plasma temperatures, we generate
theoretical spectra, which are compared to experimental data
