We theoretically consider charge transport through two quantum dots coupled in series. The corresponding full counting statistics for noninteracting electrons is investigated in the limits of sequential and coherent tunneling by means of a master equation approach and a density matrix formalism, respectively. We clearly demonstrate the effect of quantum coherence on the zero-frequency cumulants of

We present energy-resolved cross-correlation measurements of extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses generated as high harmonics of femtosecond pulses from a 1 kHz titanium-sapphire laser. The harmonic pulses are probed by a fraction of the fundamental laser pulse at 800 nm, in a noncollinear geometry, allowing us to vary independently the parameters of the harmonic pump and near-infrared probe pulses. W

Ion current measurements can give information useful for controlling the combustion stability in a multi-cylinder engine. Operation near the dilution limit (air or EGR) can be achieved and it can be optimized individually for the cylinders, resulting in a system with better engine stability for highly diluted mixtures. This method will also compensate for engine wear, e.g., changes in volumetric e

Evidence has accumulated that apoptotic cell death contributes to brain damage following experimental seizures. A substantial number of degenerating neurons within limbic regions display morphological features of apoptosis following prolonged seizures evoked by systemic or local injections of kainic acid, systemic injections of pilocarpine and sustained stimulation of the perforant path. Although

issue transglutaminase (tTg) has been identified as an autoantigen in coeliac disease (CD). There is a marked homology between different forms of transglutaminase, such as tTg and coagulation factor XIII. We compared titres of both IgA- and IgG-antibodies against these two antigens in 20 CD patients, 20 endomysial antibody (EMA)-negative controls and a group with inflammatory bowel disease (34 wit

Optically controlled one-dimensional photonic crystal structures for the THz range are studied both theoretically and experimentally. A GaAs:Cr layer constitutes a defect in the photonic crystals studied; its photoexcitation by 800 nm optical femtosecond pulses leads to the modulation of the THz beam. Since the THz field can be localized in the photoexcited layer of the photonic crystal, the inter

The local well-posedness of a generalized Camassa-Holm equation is established by means of Kato's theory for quasilinear evolution equations and two types of results for the blow-up of solutions with smooth initial data are given.

BACKGROUND: Studies in patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have reported an association between inflammatory markers and severity of disease or worsening of symptoms. However, few have studied the prognostic significance of inflammatory markers in asymptomatic subjects, measured many years before the onset of symptomatic PAD requiring treatment (trPAD).MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five inflam

The objectives of the technical committee are to identify those properties and characteristics, which are of importance, survey the existing knowledge, evaluate the data and the relevant literature, suggest activity in areas not already covered and provide facilities for the dissemination of information in papers and by discussion. In this report the main features of the behaviour of steel at high

Laparoscopy and palpation offer only a rough estimate of the extent of endometriosis. Consequently, endometriosis involving the bowels and urinary tract is under-diagnosed. Bowel obstruction and retroperitoneal endometriosis with obstruction of the ureter are uncommon conditions, but awareness of them is important. Ureteric obstruction develops slowly from periureteral fibrosis and often results i
