Nonvanishing spin Hall currents in disordered spin-orbit coupling systems
(American Physical Society, 2005)
Spin-orbit coupling-induced spin Hall currents are generic in metals and doped semiconductors. It has recently been argued that the spin Hall conductivity can be dominated by an intrinsic contribution that follows from ...
Thermodynamics of MgB2 described by the weak-coupling two-band BCS model
(American Physical Society, 2005)
Based on weak-coupling anisotropic BCS theory, the temperature dependence of energy gap and the specific heat are evaluated for the MgB2 superconductor, and the results are compared with experimental data. We show that the ...
Energy Systems Laboratory: Building a Model Repository Collection
(Texas Conference on Digital Libraries, 2008-06-05)
The Energy Systems Laboratory (ESL) is a division of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station and part of the Texas A&M University System. First established in 1939, the ESL maintains a testing laboratory on the Riverside ...
On the informative value of the largest sample element of log-Gumbel distribution
(Versita, 2007-12)
Extremes of stream flow and precipitation are commonly modeled by heavytailed
distributions. While scrutinizing annual flow maxima or the peaks over
threshold, the largest sample elements are quite often suspected to be ...
Forecasting Spatiotemproal Water Levels of Tabriz Aquifer
(Academic Journals Inc., 2008)
This study evaluates the feasibility of using artificial neural networks (ANNs) methodology for estimating the groundwork level in some piezometers implanted in complex aquifer of Northwestern Iran. This aquifer is the ...
Physics Of Flood Frequency Analysis. Part I. Linear Convective Diffusion Wave Model
(2002)
It is hypothesized that the impulse response of a linearized convective diffusion wave (CD) model is a probability distribution suitable for flood frequency analysis. This flood frequency model has two parameters, which ...
Optical properties of metallic (III, Mn)V ferromagnetic semiconductors in the infrared to visible range
(American Physical Society, 2004)
We report on a study of the ac conductivity and magneto-optical properties of metallic ferromagnetic (III, Mn)V semiconductors in the infrared to visible spectrum at zero temperature. Our analysis is based on the successful ...
Hall effect at a tunable metal-insulator transition
(American Physical Society, 2003)
Using a rotating magnetic field, the Hall effect in three-dimensional amorphous GdxSi1-x has been measured in the critical regime of the metal-insulator transition for a constant total magnetic field. The Hall coefficient ...
Bauman's Verbal Art and the Social Organization of Attention: The Role of Reflexivity in the Aesthetics of Performance
(American Folklore Society/University of Illinois Press, 2002-01)
In Richard Bauman's landmark study Verbal Art as Performance, reflexivity plays a
small but important role. Combining ideas from Verbal Art with insights from phenomenology, this article uses the concept of reflexivity ...
Character Divination and Kinetic Sculpture in the Central Italian Passeggiata (Ritual Promenade): Interpretive Frameworks and Expressive Practices from a Body-Centered Perspective
(American Folklore Society/University of Illinois Press, 2001-01)
