Charge Transport Through Open, Driven Two-Level Systems with Dissipation
We derive a Floquet-like formalism to calculate the stationary average
current through an AC driven double quantum dot in presence of dissipation. The
method allows us to take into account arbitrary coupling strengths both of a
time-dependent field and a bosonic environment. We numerical evaluate a
truncation scheme and compare with analytical, perturbative results such as the
Tien-Gordon formula.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
The Future of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Hand Surgery - Combining Evolutionary Pharmacology and Surgical Technique
Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disease of uncertain aetiology, which is characterized primarily by synovial inflammation with secondary skeletal destructions
Papillon-Lefèvre Syndrome
A patient, with Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome, presented with a premature loss of both deciduous and permanent teeth and hyperkeratosis palmaris et plantaris. Other abnormalities such as psoriasiform hyperkeratosis, calcification of the falx, and frequent infections can be seen. Although no etiologic factor is known for this aberration, an autosomal recessive inheritance is established. Treatment usually consists of dental hygiene only since dermatologic therapy is usually unrewarding. A new finding resulted when fibroblasts from involved gingiva were compared with either uninvolved gingiva or controlled gingiva. The protein and collagen synthesis of the involved tissue was about twice that of the latter two groups
Analysis of O(1D) Distribution by Time-Resolved Measurement of Ozone Density for Application of UV-light Excited Ozone to Oxidation Process
Final report of key comparison CCM.P-K12 for very low helium flow rates (leak rates)
Quantitative leak tests with vacuum technology have become an important tool in industry for
safety and operational reasons and to meet environmental regulations. In lack of a relevant
key comparison, so far, there are no calibration measurement capabilities published in the
BIPM data base. To enable national metrology institutes providing service for leak rate
calibrations to apply for these entries in the data base and to ensure international equivalence
in this field, key comparison CCM.P-K12 was organised. The goal of this comparison was to
compare the national calibration standards and procedures for helium leak rates. Two helium
permeation leak elements of 4Ă—10-11 mol/s (L1) and 8Ă—10-14 mol/s (L2) served as transfer
standards and were measured by 11 national metrology institutes for L1 and 6 national
metrology institutes for L2. Equivalence could be shown for 8 laboratories in the case of L1
and for all 6 in the case of L2. Three different evaluation methods were applied and are
presented in this report, but the random effects model was accepted as most suitable in our
case
