It was great experience, easy and cozy apartment!
Very beautiful appartment near the e tre of Prague.Thanks Alex
The city of Praha consists of seven parts. It is treasure box! This flat is in center of these miracles.
This place is great! The apartment is big and clean. Everything exactly as in the description.
It's just ~20 minutes walk from the Old Town which is super convenient.
Thanks a lot, Alex!
Great studio apartment! There was only two of us, but there was plenty of room for others as there is a fold out futon as well. Apartment is on the top floor, but that wasn't a problem for us as we did not have much luggage and it was quieter on the top level. Bathroom was a bit old, but we did not mind. Alex met us right outside the apartment and the check in and check out process was very smooth! Located right next to the tram which connects into the old town perfectly with only a couple of stops! Perfect place for our short weekend trip :)
Natalia's flat is a really great location, very big, modern and clean, full equipment kitchen, it 's what i expected from the photos and the description,no problem for the check-in/check-out time and Alex was very helpful with us.
The location is linked to the city center by metro (the metro stop is just 5 minutes walking from the flat) but it's also easy to get it on foot (15 minutes walking), furthermore Alex speaks a very fluent english so we didn't have any problem to talk with him.
I can only say thanks to Natalia for the beatiful holydays which we passed in Prague.
Definitely will recommend this place to my friends.
Best Regards
I have only one word to describe my stay - WONDERFUL! I travel a lot and have seen many many apartments all over the world, but nothing better than service which I got here, just doesn't exist! Everything was PERFECT! Totally recommend to stay here to everyone!!! Best location, best managers, best flat!
I recommend this apartment. Clean, close to the city center and quiet neighborhood. Thanks!
Great location close to the city center with good transportation.
The appartment is in a quite street, really relaxing!
The apartment was cozy and comfortable, with shops and cafes close by. Also, the owner was very flexible in terms of the check in and check out time, and was a hospitable host.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - The mystery surrounding bluesman Robert Johnson's life and death feeds the lingering fascination with his work.
There's the myth that he sold his soul to the devil, and the fact the location of his 1938 death is still disputed. His birthplace, however, has been verified. He was born in a house built by his stepfather in the Mississippi town of Hazlehurst.
Local officials plan to restore the home in hopes of drawing Johnson fans to the area. They are trying to raise $250,000 for the restoration project. The 1,500-square foot home now owned by the county has fallen into disrepair, but it still bears evidence of craftsmanship.
Pianist George Winston will headline a fundraiser for the renovation project on Monday at Belhaven College in Jackson.

We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Can someone explain to me why is Prim's Algorithm using adjacent matrix result in a time complexity of
(Sorry in advance for the sloppy looking ASCII math, I don't think we can use LaTEX to typeset answers)
The traditional way to implement Prim's algorithm with
This way, we only ever check
This on it's own wouldn't be enough as the original values in
Without using
To prove that without the
To calculate which one to choose we must check each of these to find their minimum distance from the tree and then compare that to each other and find the minimum there.
In the worst case scenario, each of the nodes contains a connection to each node in the tree, resulting in n * (V-n) edges and a complexity of
Since our total would be the sum of each of these steps as n goes from 1 to V, our final time complexity is:
Note: This answer just borrows jozefg's answer and tries to explain it more fully since I had to think a bit before I understood it.
An Adjacency Matrix representation of a graph constructs a V x V matrix (where V is the number of vertices). The value of cell (a, b) is the weight of the edge linking vertices a and b, or zero if there is no edge.
Prim's Algorithm is an algorithm that takes a graph and a starting node, and finds a minimum spanning tree on the graph - that is, it finds a subset of the edges so that the result is a tree that contains all the nodes and the combined edge weights are minimized. It may be summarized as follows:
We can now start to analyse the algorithm like so:
However, jozefg gave a good answer to show how to achieve O(V^2) complexity.
Here the distance vector represents the smallest weighted edge joining each node to the tree, and is used as follows:
Using these three steps reduces the searching time from O(E) to O(V), and adds an extra O(V) step to update the distance vector at each iteration. Since each iteration is now O(V), the overall complexity is O(V^2).
First of all, it's obviously at least O(V^2), because that is how big the adjacency matrix is.
Looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prim%27s_algorithm, you need to execute the step "Repeat until Vnew = V" V times.
Inside that step, you need to work out the shortest link between any vertex in V and any vertex outside V. Maintain an array of size V, holding for each vertex either infinity (if the vertex is in V) or the length of the shortest link between any vertex in V and that vertex, and its length (so in the beginning this just comes from the length of links between the starting vertex and every other vertex). To find the next vertex to add to V, just search this array, at cost V. Once you have a new vertex, look at all the links from that vertex to every other vertex and see if any of them give shorter links from V to that vertex. If they do, update the array. This also cost V.
So you have V steps (V vertexes to add) each taking cost V, which gives you O(V^2)

Due to a complex structure in a SVN repository, some external files are not correctly retrieved from the repository. As changing the repository structure is not an option, I have developed a script that iterates through the externals and retrieves them 'by hand' if needed (thanks to 'svn export'). To detect if this operation is indeed needed, I execute 'svn info', assuming that it will return different from 0 if the file does not exist, or it is not versioned. That was indeed the behavior obtained in host1 (SVN Client 1.6.17):
# Initially, the directory is empty
host1$ ls
host1$ svn update
Fetching external item into 'main.rbf'
svn: warning: '<REMOTE_SVN_LOCATION1>'
is not the same repository as
At revision 18413.
# Although we do the update, the external item is not fetched,
# as it is a single file coming from a different repository
# (known problem)
host1$ ls
# The file is not present, and SVN info acts accordingly
host1$ svn info main.rbf
main.rbf: (Not a versioned resource)
svn: A problem occurred; see other errors for details
# If we force the SVN export
host1$ svn export <REMOTE_SVN_LOCATION1> main.rbf
A main.rbf
Export complete.
host1$ ls
# then SVN info detects it and acts accordingly
host1$ svn info main.rbf
main.rbf: (Not a versioned resource)
svn: A problem occurred; see other errors for details
In host2, (SVN Client 1.6.11), the behaviour of 'SVN info' is completely different: no matter if the file is there (from a previous export) or not, the answer is:
# Directory is empty
host2$ ls
host2$ svn info
Path: .
Repository Root: ...
Repository UUID: ...
Revision: 18413
Node Kind: directory
Schedule: normal
Last Changed Author: ...
Last Changed Rev: 18326
Last Changed Date: ...
Is there any reason to explain this inconsistent behavior? How can I detect this unversioned file in host2 ?

What happens if we enable it by default? I don't understand what is special about a higher resolution display.
OS X has supported HiDPI ("Retina") displays since 10.7. This works with NSOpenGLView (much like the iOS version of Allegro) but you have to explicitly ask for it in order to enable it. It's very easy to enable it--you just implement prepareOpenGL() within ALOpenGLView and invoke the following:
[self setWantsBestResolutionOpenGLSurface:YES];
It's not hard and I started in on a patch, but I'm going to hold off because I'm not sure on how you folks would like this to be exposed. Obviously you don't want this to be on by default, but I'm not familiar enough with Allegro's flags to figure out exactly how you'd like to go about this.
For fullscreen, I think (not 100%) that you just ask for the pixel resolution that you really want (so 2880x1800 for a retina MacBook Pro), but fullscreen is apparently broken at the moment so I can't say for sure. =)
What happens if we enable it by default? I don't understand what is special about a higher resolution display.
It's not quite a higher-resolution display as you might see elsewhere--some of the Cocoa APIs have different behavior in HiDPI mode, whereas OpenGL function calls always acts in pixel. Those interactions can be unpredictable (you have to adjust for the difference when doing hit testing, for example) and it seemed to me like principle-of-least-surprise might suggest making it a flag. I'm sure that you have a better idea than I do as far as how to present this to an end user, though.

There wouldn't be anything special if it was simply treated as a high resolution display. In general it's not though.
To get an idea for how it's used, imagine replacing your display by one that is 4x the resolution of your current display (double in each dimension) but that is the same physical size. Running your desktop on that higher resolution is probably not very useful (because everything becomes very small), but if you set all UI elements to be 4x as large (using high-resolution versions of the artwork, or vector graphics) and increase the size of your fonts, then your display will have the same apparent size as before, but at a higher resolution, so it looks much better.
That's how retina displays are supposed to be used: my display is really 2560x1600, but except for things like images (including text) and video it mostly behaves as 1280x800. Older applications that don't support retina display render as though the display is 1280x800 and are upscaled by the OS (and generally look like crap).
The point of retina displays is not that the display is high resolution, but that it's high DPI.
I agree though that Allegro should probably give you the full resolution by default, but you do need to have a way to detect high DPI displays: 10 pt text may be fine on a high-resolution low-dpi screen, but it'll be far too small on a retina display.
To make things interesting, the scaling of the display can be configured. What I said above (2560x1600, behaving like 1280x800) is the default setting.
Yes, I should have read up a bit before responding.
It seems like the way to go is to expose the full resolution to the user, but provide a way to get the DPI information (or approximate), then the user can decide what to do. We already have transforms; I don't think exposing another concept 'points' adds anything.
This took significantly more effort than the OP suggested, but it is now done in c8492741fd27737e698bcff3f579c3cce201738b.
The implementation just treats these displays as high resolution displays, leaving it up to the game maker to make things scalable via Allegro's methods. You actually need to opt into to this by fiddling with the Info.plist of your app, so existing bundled apps won't be affected. Either way, you can unset a little check-mark in the app properties to forbid the app from using higher DPI if it is coded particularly badly.

ADD & ADHD Health Center
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in Adults
In this article
How Is Adult ADHD Treated? continued...
Together these things can help you find new ways to do things that can make day-to-day life easier. That can make you feel better in general and feel better about yourself.
Making sure you get fully checked by a doctor is important. That's because people with ADHD often face other conditions, too. You may also have a learning disability, anxiety or another mood disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, or a dependence on drugs or alcohol. Knowing the whole picture can make sure you get the best plan for you.
Medications to Treat Adult ADHD
Stimulant Medications. Adults with ADHD are often offered stimulant medications. Studies show that about two-thirds of adults with ADHD who take these medications have big improvements in their symptoms.
Examples of stimulant medications include:
- Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin)
- Dextroamphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine)
- Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse)
- Methylphenidate (Concerta, Daytrana, Metadate, Methylin, Ritalin, Quillivant)
But stimulants are not always ideal. Why? They can be:
- Addictive. Stimulants are controlled substances. That means you may get hooked on them. Some adults with ADHD have substance abuse problems or had them in the past.
- Hard to remember to take. Short-acting types of stimulants (versus long-acting) may wear off quickly. Since people with ADHD can have trouble with forgetfulness, remembering to take them several times a day can be a challenge.
- Hard to time. If people choose to stop taking them in the evening, they can have a hard time focusing to do housework, pay bills, help children with homework, or drive. But if they do take them later in the day, they may be tempted to use alcohol or other things "to relax."
Non-Stimulant Medications. Doctors may also recommend a non-stimulant medication for you to take, either on its own or with a stimulant. They are:
- Atomoxetine (Strattera)
- Guanfacine (Intuniv)
- Clonidine (Kapvay)
Therapy and Other Behavioral Treatments
You may want to ask about making these part of your treatment plan, too:
- Cognitive and behavioral therapy. It can help with self-esteem.
- Relaxation training and stress management. These can lower anxiety and stress.
- Life coaching. It may help you set goals. Plus, it can help you learn new ways to stay organized at home and work.
- Job coaching or mentoring. This can help support you at work. It can help you have better working relationships and improve on-the-job performance.
- Family education and therapy. This can help you and loved ones understand ADHD better. It can also help you all find ways to lessen how much it affects everyone's life.

Dear Sexorcist,
Question: Im a sexy, single, independent, funny, easygoing, outgoing woman. I can always find guys that are interested in me. However, the guys I like always have some shit with them that turns me off later. So Ive been single for some years now. Im not being too picky I have standards and Ive made adjustments to those standards more than once. What is the problem? Are guys just assholes or what?
Tired of ManDrama
Dear Tired:
First, a little story. You and your last two boyfriends die in an airplane crash. Youre up in heaven and Gods sitting on the great white throne.
God addresses each of you, one by one, trying to decide wholl get into heaven. Boyfriend No. 1, He says, What do you believe in?
Boyfriend No. 1 replies, Well, I believe that I loved Tired of ManDrama, but that it was Your will that we could not be together. Ive come to understand that now.
God thinks for a second and says, OK, very good. Come and sit at my left.
God then addresses your next ex: Boyfriend No. 2, what do you believe in?
Boyfriend No. 2 replies, I have failed Tired of ManDrama many times, but I believe in forgiveness. Ive sinned, but Ive never held a grudge against her and always hoped she never held one against me.
God thinks for a second and says, You are forgiven, my son. Come and sit at my right.
God then addresses you: Tired of ManDrama, what do you believe in?
You say, I believe youre in my chair.
My point, and I do have one, is that most dating injuries occur when women like you fall off their egos onto their IQs.
That said, a few disclaimers. Im assuming your standards arent about physical or emotional abuse or cheating. If your dates and boyfriends are crossing serious lines, they deserve the boot and you deserve the props.
HOWEVER. I can tell by your letter that youre talking about dating misdemeanors, not relationship felonies. That youre kicking guys to the curb for mildly annoying infractions.
Unfortunately, you are a passionate acolyte of the Church of the All or Nothing. You believe that unless you like everything about the guy youre dating, hes not worthy. You believe in perfection. You believe that accepting the negative in the face of the mostly positive is a violation of your standards. The perfectionist mind has a motto: Acceptance is appeasement. Tolerance is defeat.
My guess is that youre like this in every area of life. Youre bitterly disappointed with friends, family, church and bosses, arent you? You believe theres something wrong with everyone. And you know what? Youre right. And youre no exception.
Instead of fuming about how much men disappoint you, try reflecting on how much you disappoint them with your unrealistic expectation of perfection. And just as importantly, how much love and pleasure you deny yourself because it doesnt come in a package with your precise specifications.
Youve got to look at men the way youd look at a profit and loss statement. You dont declare bankruptcy because there are losses that came with the profits. As long as youre getting back more than youre letting go, you keep the business running.
Use a specific formula to come up with your break-even point. This is done by dividing the gross profit (the fun, excitement, kindness, etc., that you get from him) by the selling price of your standards and multiplying by 100. This gets you your gross profit margin. Then you divide your running costs (frustrations, irritations, etc.) by the gross profit margin to figure out your break-even point.
Anything above the line is profit you can plunge back into the business. If it doesnt approach the line, close the doors.
Thats how relationships work, woman. You accept the whole because the sum of the good is greater than the sum of the bad.
Start doing some math.

Stella Abrera

Stella will appear tonight and tomorrow night at the Joyce theater in New York City with Emery LeCrone Dance Company. Also appearing with the LeCrone Company will be Russell Janzen (NYCB), Hammoudi (ABT) and STephanie Williams (ABT).
Stephanie Williams is a late addition, filling in for Sara Mearns. (Per Mearns' twitter account, she has withdrawn from these performances with the LeCrone company.)

Posted 14 August 2015 - 07:21 AM
Mearns came down with altitude sickness in Vail on the weekend.
And she seems to have flown in just a day or two beforehand, judging from her Tweets. A year ago, Daniel Ulbricht Tweeted that the altitude hit him like a ton of bricks. I wonder how much guidance the Vail staff gives dancers about altitude adjustment. Vail is 8,000+! Denver is 5280. I'm acclimated to Denver, but when I go to Vail, I feel dizzy and light-headed for a couple of days. The dancers are athletes, of course, but it impacts even them.
I'm told that professional sports teams (baseball, football, hockey, basketball) try to arrive a couple of days early, schedules permitting, to adjust. And there's a reason there are so many training facilities in Colorado -- figure skating, Olympic training - it's like legal blood-doping to adjust to altitude. People underestimate the impact of altitude (e.g., President Obama in his first debate here in 2012).
Posted 14 August 2015 - 07:34 AM
apparently they do have oxygen backstage (VIDF posted a pic of the tanks on their instagram). also I noticed my hotel in Vail had a whole page of instructions on preventing altitude sickness. I am sure the Vail people do not overlook telling their dancers about it.
Coming from Toronto, I certainly noticed that I was short of breath and my heart was pounding on the slightest uphill walk (and this despite the fact that I walk and bike a lot at home). I was amazed that the dancers could leap about energetically apparently without effort, as if they were back home at sea level in NYC.
Posted 14 August 2015 - 07:35 AM
That's why they have oxygen tanks in the wings.
Posted 14 August 2015 - 07:43 AM
Back to Stella- she and Hammoudi looked terrific last night dancing with the Emery LeCrone company. I have not been a Hammoudi fan in the past, but he did an excellent job with his solos and partnering work. Stella was sublime. I was less enthusiastic about Williams and Janzen, but in fairness, I suspect they had very little rehearsal time together since Williams was a very last minute replacement to this program.
Posted 14 August 2015 - 07:45 AM

I love to see the intermingling of the NYCB and ABT dancers on these smaller projects. And it seems to me they're doing more of it than in the past. Must be fun for all concerned.

One thing I wanted to address though. We have received feedback and questions from folks outside the US who have reported various problems. We did not plan on having beta users outside the US because some of the key features like SMS messaging and News content won't work at all right now. We will need to partner with non-US wireless carriers and content providers in order to get the full functionality to work in other countries. Since we didn't have that in place we decided to beta test in the US only. What we did not expect was that some of you would see more serious problems with Places and causing the client to crash.
We want as much input as we can get but we need to be upfront and clear that if you install the client and use it with non US-EN versions of the OS there may be unexpected problems including crashes. Since we didn't expect to support the client outside the US we have not done extensive testing and we are not sure what all might happen. If you choose to install it anyway we just want you to know that problems you report may not be something we can address prior to adding international support. We will add support for other countries, locals and languages in time.
Thank you for your comments. Please keep them coming!

Auto supply stocks are beating sluggish market benchmarks, getting a lift from a report that tips off Advance Auto Parts as a potential P-E target. The sector has also been bandied around as a potential beneficiary of a fiscal cliff stalemate if consumers opt to fix their current cars this month instead of pulling the trigger on a new buy. Gainers: PBY +0.5%, ORLY +1.6%, AZO +0.7%.

Another great year for the Lake Ontario 300 Challenge!
by Sail-World Canada on 22 Jul 2011

A significant contrast from the 2010 event, the nearly 130 racers who participated in this year's Lake Ontario 300 Challenge were greeted with excellent weather and fabulous sailing conditions throughout most of the race.
Fifty yachts raced on the Scotch Bonnet Island Course, which takes racers 200 miles from Port Credit along the north shore to Prince Edward County, across the lake to the mouth of the Niagara River before returning to Port Credit; this popular shorter course was created a few years ago to cater to slower spinnaker yachts and white sail entries.
The reminder of the fleet race on the Main Duck Island Course, a complete 300-mile circumnavigation of Lake Ontario; Port Credit to Main Duck Island at the very eastern end of the lake, south to Oswego in new York State, across the south shore to the Niagara River and back to Port Credit. The event includes fully crewed and double-handed entries on both courses; it also offers, in collaboration with the Great Lakes Singlehanded Society, a lake Ontario venue for their Lake Ontario 300 Solo Challenge attended by nine solo racers this year.
The warm temperatures and seasonal breezes were a delight for the fleet. As predicted by Ron Bianchi during the Friday night Skippers Meeting, a cold front came through on Monday morning to break to perfect conditions; some crews mentioned 40 knots of wind and a short lived torrential downpour but no one reported any damage. It was shorts and t-shirts sailing at night under the full moon; flashlights were not even required.
Overall winner and Sperry Cup recipient is Blue Streak, Robert Eckersley's J/109 from Queen City Yacht Club in Toronto. Line honours on the Scotch Bonnet Island Course goes to Abracadabra, a white sail J/35 skippered by QCYC's Klaus Noack, while Ken Martin's Beneteau First 45 Star Chaser from PCYC was first across the finish line on the Main Duck Island Course.
Family and friends of the racers were able to follow the action from shore via the Yellowbrick Race Viewer; this new tracking solution partnership for the Lake Ontario 300 has proven to be very popular. Racers, fans and the race committee could also interact directly with the viewing public via Twitter and Facebook, another great opportunity for future enhancements.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

The quest for pediatric poems leads one to Jacobius Trunconius, who, if he did not write a poem, served at least as an inspiration for one containing a clever list of the diseases of early life. This was written by some anonymous friend and appears in Trunconius' book on children which, together with a work on plague, is about all the record that Trunconius left, despite the assertion that glory shall shine on him forever and ever, unchecked by bounds of earth or sky or sea.
Trunconius lived in the latter half of the sixteenth century and practiced medicine in Florence. He is described on the title pages of his books as a philosopher and physician. That he was interested in pediatrics is evidenced by the fact that he wrote "de custodienda puerorum sanitate, ante partum, in partu et post partum." This was a collection of material which he admits

Volume 115, Issue 1, 07 January 2014
This study investigates the onset of islanding (Stranski-Krastanow transition) in strained pure germanium (Ge) and dilute silicon-germanium (SiGe) alloy layers grown by chemical vapour deposition on Si(001) substrates. Integration of compositional profiles is compared to a novel method for quantification of X-ray maps acquired in cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy, together with simulations of surface segregation of Ge. We show that Si1−x Ge x alloys for germanium concentrations x ≤ 0.27 grow two-dimensionally and stay flat up to considerable layer thicknesses, while layers with concentrations in the range 0.28 < x ≤ 1 form islands after deposition of ∼3.0/x monolayers (=quarter unit cells in the diamond lattice, ML). The uncertainty in the amount of deposited material for pure Ge is ±(0.2–0.3) ML. Modelling shows that of the amount of germanium deposited, 0.7 ML segregate towards the free surface so that only ∼2.3/x ML are directly incorporated in the layer within a few nanometres, in good agreement with our measurements. For pure Ge (x = 1), this thickness is smaller than most values quoted in the literature, which we attribute to the high sensitivity of our method to fractional monolayer changes in the effective chemical width of such thin layers.

Optical signatures of photoinduced Zn vacancies in ZnO single crystal115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861144View Description Hide Description
193-nm excimer laser interaction with ZnO single-crystal at 0.05–500 KW/cm2 intensities is investigated under ultra high vacuum conditions by time resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A dominant 3.18 eV PL emission band at 295 K is observed. This band shows unusually long 0.52 ± 0.01 μs lifetime, indicating a defect mediated emission mechanism. The demonstrated negative thermal quenching for this band confirms its free electron to acceptor type transition. The involved acceptor is attributed to zinc vacancy with ∼100 meV shallow acceptor state. This study finds that 193-nm interactions produce Zn vacancies in transient states at 0.05–50 KW/cm2 excitation intensities and in stable state at 500 KW/cm2 or above intensities. The transient zinc vacancy production at such low intensities further validates the Frenkel pair creation as mechanism for creating these defects in ZnO single-crystal.
Characterization of 2.3 μm GaInAsSb-based vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser structures using photo-modulated reflectance115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861146View Description Hide Description
We report angle dependent and temperature dependent (9 K–300 K) photo-modulated reflectance (PR) studies on vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) structures, designed for 2.3 μm mid-infrared gas sensing applications. Changing the temperature allows us to tune the energies of the quantum well (QW) transitions relative to the VCSEL cavity mode (CM) energy. These studies show that this VCSEL structure has a QW-CM offset of 21 meV at room temperature. Consequently the QW ground-state transition comes into resonance with the CM at 220 ± 2 K. The results from these PR studies are closely compared with those obtained in a separate study of actual operating devices and show how the PR technique may be useful for device optimisation without the necessity of having first to process the wafers into working devices.
Study of gain and photoresponse characteristics for back-illuminated separate absorption and multiplication GaN avalanche photodiodes115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861148View Description Hide Description
The gain and photoresponse characteristics have been numerically studied for back-illuminated separate absorption and multiplication (SAM) GaN avalanche photodiodes (APDs). The parameters of fundamental models are calibrated by simultaneously comparing the simulated dark and light current characteristics with the experimental results. Effects of environmental temperatures and device dimensions on gain characteristics have been investigated, and a method to achieve the optimum thickness of charge layer is obtained. The dependence of gain characteristics and breakdown voltage on the doping concentration of the charge layer is also studied in detail to get the optimal charge layer. The bias-dependent spectral responsivity and quantum efficiency are then presented to study the photoresponse mechanisms inside SAM GaN APDs. It is found the responsivity peak red-shifts at first due to the Franz-Keldysh effect and then blue-shifts due to the reach-through effect of the absorption layer. Finally, a new SAM GaN/AlGaN heterojunction APD structure is proposed for optimizing SAM GaN APDs.
An effective medium study of surface plasmon polaritons in nanostructured gratings using attenuated total reflection115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4856255View Description Hide Description
Recent work studied surface plasmon resonances in structured materials by the method of attenuated total reflection using a prism on top of a metallic grating. That calculation considered Transverse Magnetic polarized radiation, involved an expansion in 121 Fourier modes, and found a number of interesting features. Many of these features were attributed to localized plasmons or other factors, which arise from a discrete structure. We use a simple effective medium theory to address the same problem, and find many of the same reflection features observed in the more complex calculation, indicating that localization is not an important factor. We also evaluate the possibility of using some of the new features in the reflection spectrum for bio-sensing and find that the sensitivity of the system to small changes in relative permittivity is increased compared to some standard methods.

Experimental investigations of electron density and ion energy distributions in dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasmas for Ar/CF 4 and Ar/O 2/CF 4 discharges115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859595View Description Hide Description
The electron density and ion energy distribution (IED) are investigated in low-pressure dual-frequency capacitively coupled Ar/CF 4 (90%/10%) and Ar/O 2/CF 4 (80%/10%/10%) plasmas. The relations between controllable parameters, such as high-frequency (HF) power, low-frequency (LF) power and gas pressure, and plasma parameters, such as electron density and IEDs, are studied in detail by utilizing a floating hairpin probe and an energy resolved quadrupole mass spectrometer, respectively. In our experiment, the electron density is mainly determined by the HF power and slightly influenced by the LF power. With increasing gas pressure, the electron density first goes up rapidly to a maximum value and then decreases at various HF and LF powers. The HF power also plays a considerable role in affecting the IEDs under certain conditions and the ion energy independently controlled by the LF source is discussed here. For clarity, some numerical results obtained from a two-dimensional fluid model are presented.

Tungsten diffusion in silicon115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859455View Description Hide Description
Two doses (1013 and 1015 cm−2) of tungsten (W) atoms were implanted in different Si(001) wafers in order to study W diffusion in Si. The samples were annealed or oxidized at temperatures between 776 and 960 °C. The diffusion profiles were measured by secondary ion mass spectrometry, and defect formation was studied by transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. W is shown to reduce Si recrystallization after implantation and to exhibit, in the temperature range investigated, a solubility limit close to 0.15%–0.2%, which is higher than the solubility limit of usual metallic impurities in Si. W diffusion exhibits unusual linear diffusion profiles with a maximum concentration always located at the Si surface, slower kinetics than other metals in Si, and promotes vacancy accumulation close to the Si surface, with the formation of hollow cavities in the case of the higher W dose. In addition, Si self-interstitial injection during oxidation is shown to promote W-Si clustering. Taking into account these observations, a diffusion model based on the simultaneous diffusion of interstitial W atoms and W-Si atomic pairs is proposed since usual models used to model diffusion of metallic impurities and dopants in Si cannot reproduce experimental observations.
Direct band gap optical emission from Ge islands grown on relaxed Si0.5Ge0.5/Si (100) substrate115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859599View Description Hide Description
Strained Ge islands have been grown on fully relaxed Si0.5 Ge 0.5 substrate by pulsed laser ablation technique. The formation of strained Ge islands has been found for film with higher thickness following Stranski–Krastanov growth mechanism. The variation of strain with changing Ge layer thickness has been analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and high-resolution X-ray diffraction techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectra have shown the absence of any Si-Ge intermixing and oxidation of Ge films. A strong no-phonon photoluminescence emission from Ge islands has been observed, showing the superior optical characteristics of the islands grown on relaxed substrate.
Ignition characteristics of laser-ablated aluminum at shock pressures up to 2 GPa115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861153View Description Hide Description
The ignition of aluminum particles under high pressure and temperature conditions is considered. The laser ablation method is used to generate oxide-free aluminum particles exposed to pressures ranging between 0.35 and 2.2 GPa. A continuous wave CO2 laser radiation heats the surface of the aluminum target until ignition is observed. We confirm ignition by a spectroscopic analysis of AlO vibronic band of 484 nm wavelength, and the radiant temperature is measured with respect to various pressures for estimating the heating energy for ignition. The ignition characteristics of the oxide-free aluminum particles exposed to extremely high pressures are reported.
On shock response of nano-void closed/open cell copper material: Non-equilibrium molecular dynamic simulations115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861029View Description Hide Description
Non-equilibrium molecular-dynamic simulations were carried out on model three-dimensional nano-void copper material with different idealised pore structure and porosity to highlight differences in response behaviour between them when subjected to various piston velocities simulating planar shock loading of different intensities. This article demonstrates and explains from a mechanistic perspective the differences in response observed with respect to Hugoniot elastic limits, dislocation line and jet formation, void collapse mechanism and hot spot generation, specific volume, partial recrystallisation and temperature evolution in void collapsed regions, shock and particle velocity curves.
An analysis of lead-free (Bi0.5Na0.5)0.915-(Bi0.5K0.5)0.05Ba0.02Sr0.015TiO3 ceramic for efficient refrigeration and thermal energy harvesting115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861031View Description Hide Description
This article demonstrates the colossal energy harvesting capability of a lead-free (Bi0.5 Na 0.5)0.915-(Bi0.5K0.5)0.05Ba0.02Sr0.015TiO3 ceramic using the Olsen cycle. The maximum harvestable energy density estimated for this system is found to be 1523 J/L (1523 kJ/m3) where the results are presented for extreme ambient conditions of 20–160 °C and electric fields of 0.1–4 MV/m. This estimated energy density is 1.7 times higher than the maximum reported to date for the lanthanum-doped lead zirconate titanate (thin film) system. Moreover, this study introduces a generalized and effective solid state refrigeration cycle in contrast to the ferroelectric Ericson refrigeration cycle. The cycle is based on a temperature induced polarization change on application of an unipolar electric field to ferroelectric ceramics.
Optical phonon modes in Al1− x Sc x N115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861034View Description Hide Description
Optical phonons are measured to probe the origins of the reported anomalously high piezoelectric response in aluminum scandium nitride (Al 1− x Sc x N). Epitaxial layers with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.16 deposited on sapphire(0001) exhibit a refractive index below the band gap, which increases from 2.03 for x = 0 to 2.16 for x = 0.16, corresponding to a dielectric constant ε∞ = 4.15 + 3.2x. Raman scattering shows that zone-center E2(H) and A1(TO) phonon modes shift to lower frequencies with increasing x, following linear relationships: ω(E2(H)) = 658–233x (cm−1) and ω(A1(TO)) = 612–159x (cm−1). Similarly, zone-center E1(TO) and A1(LO) phonon mode frequencies obtained from specular polarized infrared reflectance measurements red-shift to ω(E1(TO)) = 681–209x (cm−1) and ω(A1(LO)) = 868–306x (cm−1). The measured bond angle decreases linearly from 108.2° to 106.0°, while the length of the two metal-nitrogen bonds increase by 3.2% and 2.6%, as x increases from 0 to 0.16. This is associated with a 3%–8% increase in the Born effective charge and a simultaneous 6% decrease in the covalent metal-N bond strength, as determined from the measured vibrational frequencies described with a Valence-Coulomb-Force-Field model. The overall results indicate that bonding in Al-rich Al 1− x Sc x N qualitatively follows the trends expected from mixing wurtzite AlN with metastable hexagonal ScN. However, extrapolation suggests non-linear composition dependencies in bond angle, length, and character for x ≥ 0.2, leading to a structural instability that may be responsible for the reported steep increase in the piezoelectric response.
Bauschinger effect in thin metal films: Discrete dislocation dynamics study115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861147View Description Hide Description
The effects of dislocation climb on plastic deformation during loading and unloading are studied using a two-dimensional discrete dislocation dynamics model. Simulations are performed for polycrystalline thin films passivated on both surfaces. Dislocation climb lowers the overall level of the stress inside thin films and reduces the work hardening rate. Climb decreases the density of dislocations in pile-ups and reduces back stresses. These factors result in a smaller Bauschinger effect on unloading compared to simulations without climb. As dislocations continue to climb at the onset of unloading and the dislocation density continues to increase, the initial unloading slope increases with decreasing unloading rate. Because climb disperses dislocations, fewer dislocations are annihilated during unloading, leading to a higher dislocation density at the end of the unloading step.
- Electronic Structure and Transport
Charge transport mechanisms of graphene/semiconductor Schottky barriers: A theoretical and experimental study115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859500View Description Hide Description
Graphene has been proposed as a material for semiconductor electronic and optoelectronic devices. Understanding the charge transport mechanisms of graphene/semiconductor Schottky barriers will be crucial for future applications. Here, we report a theoretical model to describe the transport mechanisms at the interface of graphene and semiconductors based on conventional semiconductor Schottky theory and a floating Fermi level of graphene. The contact barrier heights can be estimated through this model and be close to the values obtained from the experiments, which are lower than those of the metal/semiconductor contacts. A detailed analysis reveals that the barrier heights are as the function of the interface separations and dielectric constants, and are influenced by the interfacial states of semiconductors. Our calculations show how this behavior of lowering barrier heights arises from the Fermi level shift of graphene induced by the charge transfer owing to the unique linear electronic structure.
Electrical switching in a Fe-thiacrown molecular device115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859755View Description Hide Description
First-principles calculations are performed to inspect the electronic and transport properties of a Fe-thiacrown molecular device, namely, a Au-Fe(9S3)2-Au junction. It is found that the junction has a low-spin (LS) ground state and a high-spin (HS) metastable state. Further study shows that the HS state is a conducting state while the LS state is a nearly insulating one, which means that a switch between these two spin configurations results in a good electrical switching behavior and can serve as an ON/OFF state for a logic unit. Thus, it may find applications as switches or memories in molecular electronic circuits.
Electronic and optical properties of Ga3−xIn5+xSn2O16: An experimental and theoretical study115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861130View Description Hide Description
Experimental measurements of optical and electronic properties and local-density approximation (LDA) calculations on polycrystalline Ga3−xIn5+xSn2O16—the so-called "T-phase" in the Ga2O3-In2O3-SnO2 ternary system—have revealed it to be a good candidate for n-type transparent conducting oxide applications, particularly in the replacement of tin-doped indium oxide as a transparent electrode in organic photovoltaics. Room temperature conductivity of over 1000 S cm−1 was measured in polycrystalline bulk samples. Band structure calculations reveal a highly dispersed conduction band, corresponding to an electron effective mass of about 0.2 me . Normalized carrier mobility and concentration trends indicate that conductivity changes in T-phase are attributable to changes in carrier concentration, with mobility remaining relatively constant through the range of processing conditions and sample composition. Screened exchange LDA calculations yield a fundamental band gap of about 2.60 eV. A relatively constant optical band gap in the range of 2.9–3.0 eV along the range of T-phase composition was measured by diffuse reflectance of bulk samples, whereas ab-initio simulations predict a decreasing fundamental band gap with increasing In-to-Ga ratio. This is attributed to an increasing Burstein-Moss shift—corresponding to increasing free electron concentration—with increasing In-to-Ga ratio.
The dynamics of photoinduced defect creation in amorphous chalcogenides: The origin of the stretched exponential function115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861143View Description Hide Description
The article discusses the dynamics of photoinduced defect creations (PDC) in amorphous chalcogenides, which is described by the stretched exponential function (SEF), while the well known photodarkening (PD) and photoinduced volume expansion (PVE) are governed only by the exponential function. It is shown that the exponential distribution of the thermal activation barrier produces the SEF in PDC, suggesting that thermal energy, as well as photon energy, is incorporated in PDC mechanisms. The differences in dynamics among three major photoinduced effects (PD, PVE, and PDC) in amorphous chalcogenides are now well understood.
Phosphorus-doping-induced rectifying behavior in armchair graphene nanoribbons devices115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861176View Description Hide Description
Based on nonequilibrium Green's functions in combination with density-functions theory, the transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbon (AGNR) devices were investigated, in which one lead is undoped armchair graphene nanoribbons, and the other is phosphorus (P)-doped armchair graphene nanoribbons. The results manifest that there is the rectification behavior with large rectifying ratio in the AGNR devices and the rectification characteristics can be modulated by changing the width of the graphene nanoribbons. On the contrary, for the same width of the graphene nanoribbons, the position of P dopant has little or no effect on changing I-V characteristics.
- Magnetism and Superconductivity
Effect of superconducting spacer layer thickness on magneto-transport and magnetic properties of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/YBa2Cu3O7/La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 heterostructures115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4861139View Description Hide Description
We have studied the magneto-transport and magnetic properties of LSMO/YBCO/LSMO trilayers on LaAlO3 (001) substrate, deposited using pulsed laser deposition technique. From x-ray diffraction measurements, it is confirmed that the grown trilayer films are single phase natured. The temperature dependent resistivity shows a metallic behavior below 350 K. At low temperature from resistivity fitted data, we observe that electron-electron, electron-phonon, and electron-magnon interactions are the main factors for scattering of carriers. The ferromagnetic LSMO layers suppress the critical temperature of YBCO spacer layer. We observe maximum magnetoresistance value ∼49% at 250 K for LSMO(200 nm)/YBCO(50 nm)/LSMO(200 nm) trilayer. Magnetization measurements reveal that at room temperature the YBCO spacer layer is allowing the LSMO layers to interact antiferromagnetically.
Superconducting and magneto-transport properties of BiS2 based superconductor PrO1-xFxBiS2 (x = 0 to 0.9)115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859535View Description Hide Description
We report superconducting properties of PrO1-xFxBiS2 compounds, synthesized by the vacuum encapsulation technique. The synthesized PrO1-xFxBiS2 (x = 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, and 0.9) samples are crystallized in a tetragonal P4/nmm space group. Both transport and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements showed bulk superconductivity below 4 K. The maximum Tc is obtained for x = 0.7 sample. Under applied magnetic field, both Tc onset and Tc (ρ = 0) decrease to lower temperatures. We estimated highest upper critical field [Hc 2 (0)] for PrO0.3F0.7BiS2 sample to be above 4 T (Tesla). The thermally activated flux flow activation energy (U 0) is estimated 54.63 meV in 0.05 T field for PrO0.3F0.7BiS2 sample. Hall measurement results showed that electron charge carriers are the dominating ones in these compounds. Thermoelectric effects (Thermal conductivity and Seebeck coefficient) data suggest strong electron-electron correlations in this material.
Magnetic susceptibility measurement of solid oxygen at pressures up to 3.3 GPa115(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4859597View Description Hide Description
The magnetic susceptibility of solid oxygen had long been observed only in the restricted pressure region below 0.8 GPa. We succeeded in extending the pressure region up to 3.3 GPa by clamping condensed oxygen in the sample chamber of a miniature diamond anvil cell and measuring the dc magnetic susceptibility using a superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer. In this experiment, the well-known α–β and β–γ transitions are observed in the phase diagram, suggesting consistency with the previous results of X-ray and Raman studies. In addition, a new magnetic anomaly is observed in the β phase.

Politics Reichert: Good Cop or Bad Cop?
Eastside Republican Congressman Dave Reichert just announced that he's received the endorsement of the Washington Council of Police & Sheriffs. Interesting timing, as today's Roll Call has an article that looks at Reichert's own tenure as King County Sheriff as a potential political liability.
You'll need a subscription to read the article online, but here are some excerpts:
Freshman Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Wash.) earned his suburban Seattle seat two years ago by running a campaign centered on his storied tenure as King County sheriff.
Now Democrats hope that revelations of corruption in the sheriff's office will taint his reputation as an ideal law enforcement officer and cripple his re-election efforts.
Since last August, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has run a front-page news series about an array of problems in Reichert's old fiefdom, ranging from abuse of power to officers hit with drug and domestic violence charges…
Reichert is not accused of any wrong- doing but some of the stories paint a portrait of an administrator unaware of questionable, and sometimes illegal, behavior by subordinates. The stories also examine whether Reichert let some bad cops retire with full pensions out of expediency rather than pursuing criminal charges.
"I think it creates a serious credibility problem because he's shirking accountability for criminal activities that happened on his watch," alleged Kelly Steele, spokesman for the state Democratic Party.
"Ultimately, in a broader sense, it's the same problem with the Republican corruption in Washington D.C.," Steele continued. "Reichert thinks that the rules don't apply to himself and his friends."
To which the Reichert campaign responds:
Reichert denies that he dropped the ball in any of the many cases the Seattle paper has outlined. His campaign and Republicans in the Evergreen State also are convinced that Democratic or third-party efforts to tie Reichert to the abuses and activities of rogue cops will fall flat.
"Dave has a record of 35 years of public service in the district; it's a shiny, wonderful record and people in this community know what he's done for this community," said Bruce Boram, Reichert's political consultant. "His record as sheriff speaks for itself … that's why the people of the 8th district elected him."
