Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals between microstructured substrates
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)
The structure of a model liquid crystalline fluid confined between two microstructured substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A simple model for a structured substrate, similar in spirit to those used for ...
Exceptionally bright TEV flares from the binary LS I+61 degrees 303
(IOP Publishing, 2016-01-20)
The TeV binary system LS I +61 degrees 303 is known for its regular, non-thermal emission pattern that traces the orbital period of the compact object in its 26.5 day orbit around its B0 Ve star companion. The system ...
Influence of chemical composition on the fluorescence lifetimes of crude petroleum oils
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2003)
Fluorescence based methods are increasingly being used for the analysis of crude oils because they offer high speed, low
cost, non-contact, and non-destructive testing options. The fluorescence of crude oils is due to the ...
VERITAS detection of gamma-ray flaring activity from the BL LAC object 1ES 1727+502 during bright moonlight observations
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-08-01)
During moonlit nights, observations with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies (VHEs, E > 100 GeV) are constrained since the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in the telescope camera are extremely sensitive ...
Search for Pulsed TeV Gamma-ray Emission from the Crab Pulsar
(1999)
We present the results of a search for pulsed TeV emission from the Crab pulsar using the Whipple Observatory's 10 m gamma-ray telescope. The direction of the Crab pulsar was observed for a total of 73.4 hours between 1994 ...
Effect of substrate geometry on liquid-crystal-mediated nanocylinder-substrate interactions
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)
Using classical density functional theory, the liquid crystal (LC)-mediated interaction between a cylindrical nanoparticle and a structured substrate is studied. The surface is structured by cutting a rectangular groove ...
