How the Universe got its Spots [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
The universe displays a three-dimensional pattern of hot and cold spots in the radiation remnant from the big bang. The global geometry of the universe can be revealed in the spatial distribution of these spots.

Synchrotron x-ray Studies of Superlattice Ordering in Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 Single Crystals Doped with PbTiO3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The temperature dependence of the superlattice reflections: a) F spots and b) alpha spots in a lead magnesium niobate (PMN) single crystals containing 0% and 6% of PbTiO3 (PT) has been studied using synchrotron x-ray scattering techniques.

Understanding plastic deformation in thermal glasses from single-soft-spot dynamics

open access: yes, 2014
By considering the low-frequency vibrational modes of amorphous solids, Manning and Liu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107, 108302 (2011)] showed that a population of "soft spots" can be identified that are intimately related to plasticity at zero temperature under ...

Magnetic Resonant X-Ray Scattering in KCuF3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We study the magnetic resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) spectra around the $K$ edge of Cu in KCuF$_3$ on the basis of an {\em ab initio} calculation. We use the full-potential linearlized augmented plane wave method in the LDA$+U$ scheme, and introduce the

From Optical to Chemical Hot Spots in Plasmonics.

open access: yesAccounts of Chemical Research, 2019
In recent years, the possibility to induce chemical transformations by using tunable plasmonic modes has opened the question of whether we can control or create chemical hot spots in these systems. This can be rationalized as the reactive analogue of the

Stationary Multiple Spots for Reaction-Diffusion Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper, we review analytical methods for a rigorous study of the existence and stability of stationary, multiple spots for reaction-diffusion systems.

Nyctalopia and Bitot Spots

open access: yesAnnals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases, 2022
Vitamin A deficiency is endemic in resource-poor areas of low- and middle-income countries in Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. Although rare in the United States, individuals at risk such as the homeless, those with malabsorptive ...
