A compact theoretical description of the effects dissipation on propagation light waves through a multilayer periodic mirror built from resonant absorbing atoms is presented. Depending lattice periodicity, ultranarrow photonic gaps, weak polaritonic as well rather atypical gap structures may be observed. Because atom's absorption line shape Bloch modes acquire quite cumbersome structure which thoroughly studied here or even disappear when becomes sufficiently strong. The same approach...

We consider crystalline organic microcavities in the strong coupling regime. Using a microscopic theory to describe Frenkel excitons and their cavity photon modes, we derive exciton-polariton dispersion relations quantum states, for two cases of anisotropic crystals with one molecules per unit cell. In most general case, exciton polaritons are coherent superposition both Davydov branches mode polarizations. The polarization mixing, which occurs also case single molecule cell, is contrast...
The digitalization of agriculture generates a new environment for the actors involved in agrifood production. In such context, Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKISs) face challenge reconsidering their operational paradigms, redefining priorities, designing strategies to achieve aims. To do so, participating AKISs should develop exploit set competencies known as dynamic capabilities, including aptitude sense change external environment, capacity seize opportunities that this...
Abstract Background Grid technology is the computing model which allows users to share a wide pletora of distributed computational resources regardless their geographical location. Up now, high security policy requested in order access has been rather big limiting factor when trying broaden usage Grids into community users. indeed based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) X.509 certificates and procedure get manage those unfortunately not straightforward. A first step make more appealing for...
Abstract Grid technology and ICT‐based infrastructures play a crucial role in the development of transnational multi‐disciplinary collaborations allow scientists to share wide range distributed computational resources, regardless their geographical location, address new global scientific challenges. Till now, strict security policy requested order access computing resources has been limiting factor when trying broaden adoption Grids by communities users. There is steep learning curve climb...
The elements of the GILDA dissemination grid developed within context Italian INFN Grid Project and European EGEE are presented described.
Monte Carlo methods are used to simulate implants. The results fall into two different groups. On one side, size-dependent effects due the presence of mask analyzed and discussed. other physical mechanisms dependent on dose energy, like channeling transition crystal-amorphous, briefly reviewed.
Nowadays, e-Science uses sophisticated high level tools that allow scientists separated by long distances and belonging to different administrative domains work on the same project. Among them, Science Gateways general purpose Grid Portals are becoming very popular. The first ones generally customized for a given Virtual Research Community (VRC) while second lack often possibility be easily adapted specific needs. In this paper we present new e-Collaboration environment merges concepts of...

Summary Radiotherapy techniques deliver ionizing radiations (X‐rays, photons, electrons, protons, etc.) inside cancerous tissues to kill the abnormal cells. Radiotherapy‐related activities such as optimization of therapeutic radiation dose patients, workers' radioprotection, linear accelerator commissioning, quality assurance processes and technical innovations accelerators are strongly based on ability predict distribution. Monte Carlo simulations so far most accurate tool for calculation...
Well-resolved and long-lived atomic Bloch oscillations provide straightforward access to intriguing yet fascinating self-similar patterns.
