Size Effect on Photothermal Heating Ability of Gold Bipyramids
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Gold bipyramids with identical spectral characteristics exhibits opposite volume‐dependent photo‐thermal heating at single‐particle versus collective scales. The thermal energy can be used to generate mechanical work by powering Stirling engine. Abstract Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) exhibit photothermal properties that are fundamental to biomedical and ...

On stirling numbers of the second kind
Journal of Combinatorial Theory, 1969 AbstractWe first find inequalities between the Stirling numbers S(n, r) for fixed n, then introduce functions L and U such that L(n, r)≤S(n, r)≤U(n, r), and finally obtain the asymptotic value n/log n for the value of r for which S(n, r) is maximal.

Confessions of a Poverty Researcher: My Journey Through the Foothills of Scholarship
Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper describes the key events, experiences and ideas that influenced the author's career as a poverty researcher. He describes how his early disillusion with economics was replaced by a spark of interest in social issues and how his migration from the UK to Australia in the mid‐1970s provided the impetus to begin what became a lifetime ...

A Closed Form for the Stirling Polynomials in Terms of the Stirling Numbers
Tbilisi Mathematical Journal, 2017 In the paper, by virtue of the Faá di Bruno formula and two identities for the Bell polynomial of the second kind, the authors find a closed form for the Stirling polynomials in terms of the Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

On the 2-adic order of Stirling numbers of the second kind and their differences [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 Let $n$ and $k$ be positive integers, $d(k)$ and $\nu_2(k)$ denote the number of ones in the binary representation of $k$ and the highest power of two dividing $k$, respectively.

Thermal‐Infrared Measurements of the North‐East Tower at Ardrossan Castle
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Thermal‐infrared imaging of buildings is used to investigate a range of phenomena including the accumulation of moisture. In general, the presence of moisture poses a direct danger to historic structures and must be characterized prior to any intervention.

Boolean complexes for Ferrers graphs [PDF]
, 2010 In this paper we provide an explicit formula for calculating the boolean number of a Ferrers graph. By previous work of the last two authors, this determines the homotopy type of the boolean complex of the graph. Specializing to staircase shapes, we show
