A Scan of the Cross Section of the Reaction (Antiproton + Proton Going to Antilambda + Sigma-0 and Charge Conjugate) From Threshold to 2.5 MeV Excess Energy
… 2.5 MeV of threshold was measured using the Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. The cross section was normalized against the similar reaction pp→LL and a novel background estimation using below-threshold data was performed. Because of these techniques, the results are insensitive to …

Prepartum Energy Intake and Its Relationship to Periparturient Inflammation and Metabolic Dysfunction in Dairy Cows
… were conducted to evaluate prepartum plane of energy intake, metabolism, and inflammation during the periparturient period. In experiment 1 housekeeping genes were evaluated for use with qPCR experiments in liver tissue. Ribosomal protein, S9 (RPS9) was most stable over dietary treatments and …

Secure Intermittent Computing: Precomputation and Implementation
… loss, for cases both when the device has an excess of available energy and when power loss is unavoidable. Existing work with intermittent systems has focused on the problems inherent to the intermittent paradigm and ignored the security implications of persistent state across periods of …

Hydraulic conveyance of solid capsules
… dependent variables, such as capsule velocity, excess energy and power dissipation. Flow conditions around static capsules are shown to be amenable to analysis, supplemented by experimentally determined coefficients. Energy dissipation at the inlet and outlet of static concentric and eccentric …

Infrared spectroscopy and Monte Carlo simulations of gas phase, solvated alkali ions
… source, have considerable amounts of internal energy. The excess energy is dissipated by evaporation. The quasi-stable cluster ions are mass-selected for vibrational predissociation spectroscopy. The spectra are collected using a line-tunable cw-CO$\sb2$ laser.

A measurement of proton anti-proton going to anti-lambda lambda baryon near threshold
Using antiprotons from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring at CERN, an investigation of the reaction $\bar pp\to \bar\Lambda\Lambda$ at threshold has been completed. This work includes a thorough scan of the 2 MeV region where a hint of a cross section resonance had been observed. No such resonance is …

A Measurement of `pp��`LL near threshold
Using antiprotons from the Low Energy Antiproton Ring at CERN, an investigation of the reaction pp -+ AA at threshold has been completed. This work includes a thorough scan of the 2 MeV region where a hint of a cross section resonance had been observed. No such resonance is evident in this work. In …

Study of unstable rock failures using finite difference and discrete element methods, A
… through measures of rapid dynamic motion. An energy balance is developed which calculates the excess energy released as a result of unstable equilibria in rock systems. These tools are validated through uniaxial and triaxial compressive strength tests and are extended to models of coal pillars …
