Material dependencies of the dynamic and static state diagrams were also studied in the framework of the macrospin model. Full-scale micromagnetics simulations were finally performed to reveal more subtle features of the dynamics of such Nutlin-3 tilted polarizer systems. Both the macrospin and micromagnetics simulations gave quantitatively the same results as our analytical theory. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

“In order to understand the influence of the average opening velocity on the high-current vacuum arc anode phenomena,
high-speed photography was used to observe the anode phenomena of the vacuum arc discharge in vacuum interrupters. The contact diameters used in the vacuum interrupters were 12 and 25 mm, respectively. The contact materials included Cu, CuCr25, and CuCr50. The arc current frequency was 50 Hz, and the arcing time was controlled at
about 9 ms. A permanent magnet mechanism with a contact spring Selleck Emricasan was used to adjust the average opening velocity from 1.3 to 1.8 m/s. The experimental results showed that, with the arc current increasing, there was a threshold current I(1st) (peak value) at which a high-current anode mode first appeared. Moreover, the first high-current anode mode was a footpoint at the velocity of 1.8 m/s, while, at the velocity of 1.3 m/s, it was most probably an anode spot and sometimes it was a footpoint. The result showed that, at the velocity of 1.8 m/s, the threshold current I(1st) was lower than that at 1.3 m/s. Moreover, the threshold current I(1st) followed the order of Cu > CuCr25 > CuCr50 at both the velocities of 1.3 m/s and 1.8 m/s. Meanwhile, at the higher average opening velocity of 1.8 m/s, the arc energy and arc voltage were higher than or close to those at 1.3 m/s.”
“Heterobasidion abietinum causes root and butt rot on Abies species occurring in central Europe and the Mediterranean Basin in a distribution extending from Spain in the west to Turkey and Caucasia in the
east. To investigate the genetic diversity within H. abietinum, 95 isolates from different regions were analysed with 61 polymorphic molecular markers. Selleckchem QNZ The markers showed genetic differentiation amongst the H. abietinum populations. The most diversified population is that on A. pinsapo in southern Spain, which is isolated from gene flow with other populations. Lower but still significant differences were found amongst other European populations. Isolates from Turkey showed little diversification compared with the south European isolates from east of the Alps. The genetic structure of the H. abietinum populations in relation to postglacial recolonization of Abies is discussed.”
