Simulations of deposition growth models in various dimensions. Are overhangs important?

We present simulation results of deposition growth of surfaces in 2, 3 and 4 dimensions for ballistic deposition where overhangs are present, and for restricted solid on solid deposition where there are no overhangs. The values of the scaling exponents for the two models are found to be different, suggesting that they belong to different universality classes.Comment: figures available from author

From Linked Data to Relevant Data -- Time is the Essence

The Semantic Web initiative puts emphasis not primarily on putting data on the Web, but rather on creating links in a way that both humans and machines can explore the Web of data. When such users access the Web, they leave a trail as Web servers maintain a history of requests. Web usage mining approaches have been studied since the beginning of the Web given the log's huge potential for purposes such as resource annotation, personalization, forecasting etc. However, the impact of any such efforts has not really gone beyond generating statistics detailing who, when, and how Web pages maintained by a Web server were visited.Comment: 1st International Workshop on Usage Analysis and the Web of Data (USEWOD2011) in the 20th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW2011), Hyderabad, India, March 28th, 201

Nucleon and Delta resonances in K Sigma(1385) photoproduction from nucleons

The reaction mechanisms for $K\Sigma(1385)$ photoproduction from the reaction $\gamma p \to K^+\Sigma^{0}(1385)$ in the resonance energy region are investigated in a hadronic model. Both contributions from $N$ and $\Delta$ resonances of masses around 2 GeV as given in the Review of Particle Data Group and by the quark model predictions are included. The Lagrangians for describing the decays of these resonances into $K\Sigma(1385)$ are constructed with the coupling constants determined from the decay amplitudes predicted by a quark model. Comparing the resulting total cross section for the reaction $\gamma p \to K^+\Sigma^{0}(1385)$ with the preliminary data from the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, we find that the most important contributions are from the two-star rated resonances $\Delta(2000) F_{35}$, $\Delta(1940) D_{33}$, and $N(2080) D_{13}$, as well as the missing resonance $N\frac32^-(2095)$ predicted in the quark model. Predictions on the differential cross section and photon asymmetry in this reaction are also given.Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures, REVTeX, to appear in Phys. Rev.
