The Beurling-type theorem in the Bergman space for any
In this paper, we show that the Beurling-type theorem holds in the Bergman
space A^2_\alpha(\DD) for any . That is, every invariant
subspace for the shift operator on A^2_\alpha(\DD) has property
A review of NIST projects in surface and topography metrology for firearm evidence identification in forensic science
This is a review of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) efforts in surface metrology and topography measurements for firearm evidence identifications in forensic science. Based on the research projects in surface metrology and standardization, NIST researchers have developed Standard Reference Material (SRM) Bullets and Cartridge Cases (Certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in this paper to specify adequately the experimental procedure. Such identification does not imply recommendation or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, nor does it imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose) and established a 2D/3D Ballistics Topography Measurement System. They formulated a Traceability and Quality System to support nationwide ballistics identifications within the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) in the United States. They have recently proposed a Congruent Matching Cells (CMC) method for accurate ballistic identification and error rate estimation, which provides a statistical foundation and a practical method to promote firearm evidence identifications from qualitative image comparisons to quantitative topography measurements
Large Magnetoresistance in Compensated Semimetals TaAs and NbAs
We report large magnetoresistance (MR) at low temperatures in
single-crystalline nonmagnetic compounds TaAs and NbAs. Both compounds
exhibit parabolic-field-dependent MR larger than in a magnetic
field of 9 Tesla at 2 K. The MR starts to deviate from parabolic dependence
above 10 T and intends to be saturated in 45 T for TaAs at 4.2 K. The Hall
resistance measurements and band structural calculations reveal their
compensated semimetal characteristics. The large MR at low temperatures is
ascribed to a resonance effect of the balanced electrons and holes with large
mobilities. We also discuss the relation of the MR and samples' quality for
TaAs and other semimetals. We found that the magnitudes of MR are strongly
dependent on the samples' quality for different compounds.Comment: 26 pages, 11 figures, 2 table
