A Growth Model for Multicellular Tumor Spheroids [PDF]
Most organisms grow according to simple laws, which in principle can be derived from energy conservation and scaling arguments, critically dependent on the relation between the metabolic rate B of energy flow and the organism mass m.

Irregular Oscillatory-Patterns in the Early-Time Region of Coherent Phonon Generation in Silicon [PDF]
Coherent phonon (CP) generation in an undoped Si crystal is theoretically investigated to shed light on unexplored quantum-mechanical effects in the early-time region immediately after the irradiation of ultrashort laser pulse.

Simulation of Downhole Rock-Breaking Characteristics of PDC Bit Composite Impact
To compare the rock-breaking performances of various impact drilling techniques,a single-PDC-cutter rock impact model was built using the ABAQUS/Explicit module to study the rock-breaking characteristics of a single PDC cutter in cases of no impact,axial

Technology of Rock Destruction by Combined Explosion-Mechanical Load [PDF]
Background. Rock drilling is characterized by an energy capacity of more than 120 kWh/m3. This is due to the fact that about 90 % of the energy is expended on the “preparation” of rocks for destruction.

Doppler cooling of a Coulomb crystal [PDF]
We study theoretically Doppler laser-cooling of a cluster of 2-level atoms confined in a linear ion trap. Using several consecutive steps of averaging we derive, from the full quantum mechanical master equation, an equation for the total mechanical ...
