Evaluation of the quality of GaAs epitaxial layers and their interfaces from analysis of the exciton absorption spectra

Exciton optical spectra are sensitive to even slight changes in the properties of a solid. The spectra of exciton polaritons can be especially informative, although the spectroscopy of these quasiparticles imposes certain restrictions on the measurement temperature and the quality of the material. Exciton parameters such as the resonance frequency ω _T and damping coefficient Γ may vary under the influence of electric fields, defects present in the crystal, or changes in the chemical composition of the film. If the material characteristics vary along the thickness of the film (the z coordinate), so do the resonance frequency and damping coefficient. Here, the spectra of undoped GaAs layers epitaxially grown on GaAs substrates are investigated at T = 1.7 K. Analysis of the spectra at the exciton absorption edge makes it possible to estimate the “dead-layer” depth, the strength of electric fields, and the concentration of impurities.     

The ultrastructural and functional expression of the hepatocyte genome under conditions of prolonged inhibition of protein biosynthesis by cycloheximide. V]

A review of 76 Southampton children with Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura has confirmed that there is no evidence of a streptococcal aetiology in the majority of cases of this disease. Among these patients the frequency of preceding respiratory infection of all kinds was only 7 percent greater than that in controls. Data on month of admission in four areas of England and Scotland show that the incidence of the disease is lowest in the June-August period. Contrary to previous findings there is no marked peak of incidence in any single month.     

In situ bypass and diabetes

From 1986 through to 1990 a total of 483 in situ bypass procedures were performed in 444 patients. Preoperative risk-factors were equally distributed among diabetic (DM) and non-diabetic (NDM) patients, except for smoking habits (DM:48%, NDM:64%, p = 0.002) and cardiac disease (DM:45%, NDM:29%, p = 0.005). Critical limb-ischaemia was more often present in diabetic than non-diabetic patients (DM:57%, NDM:36%, p = 0.0002). Diabetic patients had a significantly lower distal anastomosis than non-diabetic patients (p = 0.00001). There were no differences among diabetic and non-diabetic patients regarding three years primary and secondary patency (58% and 64% respectively), and regarding major amputations. However, the rate of minor amputations was higher in insulin-dependent compared with non-insulin-dependent diabetics, who in turn had a higher rate than non-diabetics (p < 0.00001). A markedly decreased survival rate was found in diabetics (p < 0.00005). We found the in situ bypass technique very useful in the treatment of critical ischaemia of the lower limb in diabetic patients. The overall results in diabetic patients, whether insulin-dependent or not, were equal to those in non-diabetic patients.

Laws of the deformation-induced structural transformation in bainitic steel

The evolution of the defect and carbide subsystems of steel with a bainitic structure during deformation by compression is quantitatively analyzed by transmission electron diffraction microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The strain dependences of the parameters of a dislocation substructure and a carbide phase are determined, and the possible causes of stages in their changes are discussed.     

Towards interactive simulation in automotive design

One of the important tasks in Mechanical Engineering is to increase the safety of the vehicle and decrease its production costs. This task is typically solved by means of Multiobjective Optimization, which formulates the problem as a mapping from the space of design variables to the space of target criteria and tries to find an optimal region in these multidimensional spaces. Due to high computational costs of numerical simulations, the sampling of this mapping is usually very sparse and scattered. Combining design of experiments methods, metamodeling, new interpolation schemes and innovative graphics methods, we enable the user to interact with simulation parameters, optimization criteria, and come to a new interpolated crash result within seconds. We denote this approach as Simulated Reality, a new concept for the interplay between simulation, optimization and interactive visualization. In this paper we show the application of Simulated Reality for solution of real life car design optimization problems.
