Giant Magnons and Giant Gravitons
… begin by constructing the full set of boundary giant magnons on $\mathbb{R}\times S^{2}$ attached to the maximal $Z=0$ giant graviton by mapping from the general solution to static sine-Gordon theory on the interval. We then compute the values of the anomalous dimension, $\Delta-J$, of the dual …

Giant Magnetoresistance in Multilayers
… these multilayer systems is responsible for the giant magneto-resistance effect (GMR) and how GMR depends on the various parameters of the samples. The band structure was taken into account through a realistic third-nearestneighbor tight-binding model with s, p and d orbitals. The …

The Giant Dream Chamber
The Giant Dream Chamber is an underworld figure chanting Aperspectival intuition, the image arrives. Matter undresses, interiority silhouetted.

Carbon Chemistry Of Giant Impacts
Impact diamonds were found in several impactites from the Ries crater, Germany including fallout and fallback (crater fill) suevites. a glass bomb, impact melt rock and shocked gneiss. These diamonds formed two distinct grain size populations: 50-300µm apographitic. platy aggregates with surface …

Phase separation in giant vesicles
Giant vesicles may contain several spatial compartments formed by phase separation within their enclosed aqueous solution. This phenomenon might be related to molecular crowding, fractionation and protein sorting in cells. To elucidate this process we used two chemically dissimilar polymers, …

Galactic Structure with Giant Stars
… Galactic structure over stellar age. I study red giants in the Magellanic Clouds, assign them photometric metallicities and map large scale trends both in their chemistry and proper motions. In Chapter 1 I provide an overview of the historical observations that underpin our current understanding …

The Apparition of the Little Giant
Frederick Douglass is celebrated for many reasons. He is known for his rhetorical gallantry. He is respected as an efficient and effective orator. He is remembered as an abolitionist. He is studied in contemporary literature. For years however, he has gone largely unnoticed in the genre of Southern …

Giant Magnetoresistance - eine ab-initio Beschreibung
… erstmalig eine parameterfreie Beschreibung des Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR) vorgelegt, welche detaillierte Einsichten in die mikroskopischen Vorgänge gestattet. Die ab-initio Berechnung der Elektronenstruktur der magnetischen Vielfachschichten basiert auf der Spindichtefunktionaltheorie unter …

The Allometry of Giant Flightless Birds
Despite our intuition, birds are no smaller than mammals when the constraints of a flying body plan are taken into account. Nevertheless, the largest mammals are ten times the mass of the largest birds. Allometric equations generated for anseriforms and ratites suggest mid-shaft femur circumference …

An investigation of giant Kerr nonlinearity
… the properties of an atomic system exhibiting a giant Kerr nonlinearity. The atomic energy level scheme involves four energy levels. A three level A subsystem in the atom exhibits the effect of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), reducing the spontaneous emission noise. The fourth …

Giant multipole resonances in lead-208
"The differential photoneutron cross section of 208pb in the energy region 9.9 through 11.2 MeV was measured with gamma energy resolution of approximately 100 KeV using the University of 111inois bremsstrahlung monochromator. Neutrons from a 72% enriched 208pb target and an 88% enriched 206po …

Resistance noise in giant magnetoresistive materials
… noise in a variety of systems exhibiting giant magnetoresistance (GMR) including coupled and uncoupled multilayers, spin-valves and granular systems. Large equilibrium 1/f noise in the resistance of these materials is associated with the GMR effect. One consequence was that we were able to …

Giant vesicles compressed by actin polymerization
… characterized mechanical properties of synthetic Giant Vesicles with the well understood biochemistry of actin polymerization. Giant Vesicles mimic the structural features of eukaryotic cell membranes. We find that Giant Vesicles coated with a protein that catalyzes actin polymerization form thick …

Egilsstaðir : the sleeping giant and its contents
Travellers’ numbers to Iceland are increasing each year which means that tourism policies need to be made stronger. Egilsstaðir is an important place for east Iceland as it is the service community for the region. Not only is it located on the biggest intersection in the east but it also does get …

Electroexcitation of the giant resonance of 17O
… scattering, with special emphasis placed on the giant resonance. The scattering angle employed was 75.1°, and the incident energies were 64.9, 83.3, 101.3, 113.6, and 124.0 MeV. These conditions correspond to momentum transfers in the range 0.33 to 0.77 fm-1. The data reveal a broad resonance …

Starbursts in extragalactic giant H II regions
Extragalactic giant H II regions (EGHRs) are sites of active, concentrated star formation on manageable scales, and thus provide ideal labs to analyze starburst phenomena. To get a complete picture of the starburst phenomenon, the critical characteristics we must investigate include star formation …

Magneto-transport properties of giant magnetoresistive systems
To understand the cause of the giant magnetoresistance effect, we have systematically investigated magnetothermopower, magneto-thermal conductivity and magnetoresistivity in both ferromagnetic/non-magnetic multilayers and granular solids which exhibit the giant magnetoresistance effect.
