TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have shown that a dislocation is generated if the applied stress was sufficiently large that the force on the dislocation was repulsive down to the core distance from the crack tip.

TL;DR: Some basic properties of scaled systems are explored with a view toward taking advantage of the scaled structure in predicting system dynamics, including hierarchical structuring, disequilibrium, and metastability.
Abstract: Landscapes are complex ecological systems that operate over broad spatiotemporal scales. Hierarchy theory conceptualizes such systems as composed of relatively isolated levels, each operating at a distinct time and space scale. This paper explores some basic properties of scaled systems with a view toward taking advantage of the scaled structure in predicting system dynamics. Three basic properties are explored: (1) hierarchical structuring, (2) disequilibrium, and (3) metastability. These three properties lead to three conclusions about complex ecological systems. First, predictions about landscape dynamics can often be based on constraints that directly result from scaled structure. Biotic potential and environmental limits form a constraint envelope, analogous to a niche hypervolume, within which the landscape system must operate. Second, within the constraint envelope, thermodynamic and other limiting factors may produce attractors toward which individual landscapes will tend to move. Third, because of changes in biotic potential and environmental conditions, both the constraint envelope and the local attractors change through time. Changes in the constraint structure may involve critical thresholds that result in radical changes in the state of the system. An attempt is made to define measurements to predict whether a specific landscape is approaching a critical threshold.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used macroscopic diffusion equations for heat and mass transport, cast in a finite-difference form to allow for the temperature and spatial dependences of the thermal conductivity, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, and other quantities.
Abstract: Pulses of radiation from ruby and Nd:YAG $Q$-switched lasers have been used recently to anneal the lattice damage caused by ion implantation of semiconductors. Other similar applications include the laser-induced diffusion of thin dopant films deposited on the surface of samples, recrystallization of doped amorphous films deposited on single-crystal substrates, and the removal of precipitates present after conventional high-temperature dopant diffusion. All of these processes can be understood in terms of models and calculations based on macroscopic diffusion equations for heat and mass transport, cast in a finite-difference form to allow for the temperature and spatial dependences of the thermal conductivity, absorption coefficient, reflectivity, and other quantities. Results of calculations on silicon with the models show that the near-surface region of a sample can melt and stay molten for times of the order of 100 nsec during which dopant diffusion in the liquid state and nonequilibrium segregation during ultrarapid recrystallization are sufficient to explain the major features of the experimental results. In this paper, a description of the model used in our heat-transport calculations is given. Results of the modeling are illustrated by a variety of calculations which should be of particular interest to experimentalists working with pulsed-laser annealing. These results include, e.g., the effects of pulse duration, shape, and energy density, the effects of assumptions made about the latent heat of amorphous silicon, the effects of substrate heating, the role played by the absorption coefficient in determining melt-front penetration, and the duration of surface melting.

TL;DR: The yield ratio does not show the suppression observed in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC, but there is a small enhancement in the yield of high momentum particles.
Abstract: Transverse momentum spectra of charged hadrons with p(T)<8 GeV/c and neutral pions with p(T)<10 GeV/c have been measured at midrapidity by the PHENIX experiment at BNL RHIC in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. The measured yields are compared to those in p+p collisions at the same sqrt[s(NN)] scaled up by the number of underlying nucleon-nucleon collisions in d+Au. The yield ratio does not show the suppression observed in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. Instead, there is a small enhancement in the yield of high momentum particles.
