A two-dimensional rough surface: Experiments on a pile of riceDynamical roughening of interfaces has received much attention in recent years. However, experiments have been restricted to one dimensional (1d) systems. Moreover, theoretical studies of the two…C. M. Aegerter, R. Gunther, R. J. Wijngaarden·May 7, 2002SaveLearn
Computer simulations discussed in physical terms and terminologyAs known, any numerical simulation is composed of two parts: (1) the initial part of writing the relevant code and (2) the running of this code on the computer screen. The second part of running the…D. Bar·May 6, 2002SaveLearn
Decomposition of multicomponent mass spectra using Bayesian probability theoryWe present a method for the decomposition of mass spectra of mixture gases using Bayesian probability theory.
