European air quality maps 2005 including uncertainty analysis
The objective of this report is (a) the updating and refinement of European air quality maps based on annual statistics of the 2005 observational data reported by EEA Member countries in 2006, and (b) the further improvement of the interpolation methodologies. The paper presents the results achieved and an uncertainty analysis of the interpolated maps and builds upon earlier reports from Horalék et al. (2005; 2007)
Classification of Higher Dimensional Spacetimes
We algebraically classify some higher dimensional spacetimes, including a
number of vacuum solutions of the Einstein field equations which can represent
higher dimensional black holes. We discuss some consequences of this work.Comment: 16 pages, 1 Tabl
WZW-like Action for Heterotic String Field Theory
We complete the construction of the Neveu-Schwarz sector of heterotic string
field theory begun in hep-th/0406212 by giving a closed-form expression for the
action and gauge transformations. Just as the Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) action
for open superstring field theory can be constructed from pure-gauge fields in
bosonic open string field theory, our heterotic string field theory action is
constructed from pure-gauge fields in bosonic closed string field theory. The
construction involves a simple alternative form of the WZW action which is
consistent with the algebraic structures of closed string field theory.Comment: 22 pages, no figures, LaTeX2
Organic layers on silicon result in a unique hybrid fet
A Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is presented that combines the conventional lay-out of the silicon substrate (channel and source and drain connections) with a Si-C linked organic gate insulator contacted via an organic, conducting polymer. It is shown that this hybrid device combines the excellent electrical behavior of the silicon substrate and the ease of use and good properties of organic insulators and contacting materials.\ud
