We analyze the universal properties of a new two-dimensional quantum gravity model defined in terms of locally causal dynamical triangulations. Measuring the Hausdorff and spectral dimensions of the dynamical geometrical ensemble, we find numerical evidence that the con...

In order to provide a common standard for the treatment of mycosis fungoides (MF) and Sezary syndrome (SS), the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Cutaneous Lymphoma Task Force (EORTC-CLTF) published in 2006 its consensus recommendations for the ...

The upconversion quantum yield ( UC ) is an essential parameter for the characterization of the optical performance of lanthanoid-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs). Despite its nonlinear dependence on excitation power density ( exc ), it is typically reported onl...

Abstract A new type of flash evaporator is discussed which avoids certain limitations of the conventional horizontal flash evaporator. The main characteristic of the plant is its vertical concept with short flash chambers accommodating a large number of parallel tubes. ...

<p>The Peel Plateau in northwestern Canada hosts some of the fastest growing “mega slumps”, retrogressive thaw slumps exceeding 2000 m<sup>2</sup> in area. The region is located at the former margin ...

The output-agreement method has been successfully used to reward agents in a variety of crowdsourcing settings. This method consists of a simple payment function that randomly matches two agents' reported information and rewards agreement. In this letter, we discuss ho...
