Geolinguistic Regions and Diasporas in the Age of Satellite Television
(SAGE Publications, 2007)
Studies of the globalization processes in the communications media have frequently emphasized the planetary-scale diffusion of the dominant cultural and linguistic models. This is undoubtedly a clearly observable tendency ...
Ab initio calculation of low-energy collective charge-density excitations in MgB2
(American Physical Society, 2009-08)
We present ab initio time-dependent density-functional theory calculation results for low-energy collective electron excitations in MgB2. The existence of a long-lived collective excitation corresponding to coherent charge ...
El salto a los tres años en psicomotricidad : observación del comportamiento psicomotor infantil
(Fundación Infancia y Aprendizaje, 2007-05)
[ES] El objetivo de esta investigación es evaluar la actividad de saltar de un grupo escolar natural de 15 criaturas entre los dos y los cuatro años en el contexto de la Práctica Psicomotriz Aucouturier. La perspectiva ...
Institutional designs to face the dark side of total allowable catches
(Oxford Journals, 2007)
Setting total allowable catches (TACs) is an endogenous process in which different agents and institutions, often with conflicting interests and opportunistic behaviour, try to influence policy-makers. Such policy-makers, ...
Upconversion cooling of Er-doped low-phonon fluorescent solids
(American Physical Society, 2009-01)
We report on a novel mechanism for laser cooling of fluorescent solids based on infrared-to-visible upconversion often found in rare-earth-doped low-phonon materials. This type of optical cooling presents some advantages ...
Wheel-rail wear index prediction considering multiple contact patches
(Elsevier, 2009-06)
This paper shows a new wheel-rail contact model specially suited to obtain wear indexes between wheel and rail when the vehicle negotiates tight curves. The model presented in the paper enables introduction of the two ...
Exact-exchange Kohn-Sham potential, surface energy, and work function of jellium slabs
(American Physical Society, 2008-08)
Exact-exchange self-consistent calculations of the Kohn-Sham potential, surface energy, and work function of jellium slabs are reported in the framework of the optimized effective potential (OEP) scheme of density functional ...
Role of occupied d states in the relaxation of hot electrons in Au
(American Physical Society, 2000-07-15)
We present first-principles calculations of electron-electron scattering rates of low-energy electrons in Au. Our full band-structure calculations indicate that a major contribution from occupied d states participating in ...
Energy loss of charged particles moving parallel to a magnesium surface
(American Physical Society, 2008-10)
We present it ab initio calculations of the electronic energy loss of charged particles moving outside a magnesium surface, from a realistic description of the one-electron band structure and a full treatment of the dynamical ...
First-principles calculations of hot-electron lifetimes in metals
(American Physical Society, 2000)
First-principles calculations' of the inelastic lifetime of low-energy electrons in Al, Mg, Be, and Cu are reported. Quasiparticle damping rates are evaluated from the: knowledge of the electron self-energy, which we compute ...
