A rotationally resolved infrared spectrum has been obtained for S${\mathrm{F}}_{6}$ molecules captured inside of helium clusters approximately 4000 atoms. The is interpreted in terms a spherical top Hamiltonian, although the resulting rotational constant considerably smaller than that free S${\mathrm{F}}_{6}$. This can be attributed to interaction between molecule and surrounding liquid. results indicate located cluster fit yields temperatures perturbed $0.37\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.05$ K.
With the introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN), concept an external and optionally centralized network control plane, i.e. controller, is drawing attention researchers industry. A particularly important task in SDN context placement such resources network. In this paper, we discuss aspects controller problem with a focus on SDN-based core networks, including different types resilience failure tolerance. When several performance metrics are considered, there usually no single best...
The absorption spectra of the electronic ${S}_{1}\ensuremath{\leftarrow}{S}_{0}$ transition glyoxal molecules (${\mathrm{C}}_{2}$${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$) embedded in He droplets ( $\ensuremath{\approx}5500\mathrm{atoms}$) show well-resolved vibronic bands with a width $<0.5{\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. phonon wings at higher frequencies have distinct gaps amounting to $\ensuremath{\Delta}E\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}8.1\mathrm{K}$ followed by small...
Single OCS molecules have been embedded in large 4He droplets (N̄=1×103–8×103 atoms) and their infrared spectra the vicinity of ν3-fundamental at 2062 cm−1 studied using coaxial laser depletion spectroscopy. Sharp lines corresponding to P- R-branches with a linewidth 160 MHz or greater are observed. From line intensities droplet temperature 0.37±0.02 K is obtained from positions rotational constants B for ground excited states an average centrifugal distortion constant D determined. The...
Small van der Waals clusters of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) and mixed SF6-rare gas were prepared inside large droplets helium-4, with each droplet consisting about 4000 helium atoms. A diode laser was used to measure the high-resolution infrared spectra these in vicinity nu3 vibrational mode. In all cases rotational structure observed, indicating that embedded species rotate nearly freely, although they had been cooled a temperature 0.37 kelvin. The results indicate are probably superfluid...
Active head turns to the left and right have recently been shown influence numerical cognition by shifting attention along mental number line. In present study, we found that passive whole-body motion influences cognition. a random-number generation task (Experiment 1), leftward downward displacement of participants facilitated small generation, whereas rightward upward large numbers. Influences were also for processing auditorily presented numbers in magnitude-judgment 2). Additionally,...
Previous research has shown that immersive virtual reality (VR) is a suitable tool for visualizing the consequences of climate change. The aim present study was to investigate whether visualization in VR stronger influence on change awareness and environmental attitudes compared traditional media. Furthermore, it examined how realistic experience be order have an effect. consisted model Aletsch glacier (Switzerland) melting over course 220 years. Explicit measurements (new paradigm NEP,...
Recently, Software Defined Networking (SDN) has gained a lot of attention, even for the use in core communication networks. When deploying SDN large networks, number and location controllers must be carefully planned. A first study on this topic by Heller et al. [3] was followed more detailed publications that included resilience or dynamic controller provisioning. In our previous work [2], we provide an overview over related include different issues placement process. We argued it is not...
While the influence of spatial-numerical associations in number categorization tasks has been well established, their role mental arithmetic is less clear. It hypothesized that addition leads to rightward and upward shifts spatial attention (along "mental line"), whereas subtraction leftward downward shifts. We addressed this hypothesis by analyzing spontaneous eye movements during arithmetic. Participants solved verbally presented problems (e.g., 2 + 7, 8-3) aloud while looking at a blank...
The global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic sparked a great interest in psychological factors that determine or explain peoples' responses to the novel threatening situation and preventive measures (e.g. wearing masks, social distancing). In this study, we focused on contaminated mindware (conspiracy paranormal beliefs) investigated its relationship with both acceptance of adherence COVID-19 measures, along other variables from domains emotion (trait anxiety, fear), traditional personality...
Freely available software has popularized “mousetracking” to study cognitive processing; this involves the on-line recording of cursor positions while participants move a computer mouse indicate their choice. Movement trajectories can then be reconstructed off-line assess efficiency responding in time and across space. Here we focus on process selecting among alternative numerical responses. Several studies have recently measured mathematical mind with movements people decided about number...
Recent research in cognitive sciences shows a growing interest spatial-numerical associations. The horizontal SNARC (spatial-numerical association of response codes) effect is defined by faster left-sided responses to small numbers and right-sided large parity judgment task. In this study we investigated whether there also for upper lower responses. grounded cognition approach suggests that the universal experience "more up" serves as robust frame reference vertical number representation....
Abstract In recent years, large‐scale DNA barcoding campaigns have generated an enormous amount of COI barcodes, which are usually stored in NCBI 's GenBank and the official Barcode Life database ( BOLD ). data generally associated with more detailed better curated meta‐data, because a great proportion is based on expert‐verified vouchered material, accessible public collections. course initiative German were for reference library 2,846 species Coleoptera from 13,516 individuals. Confronted...
Bodily sensation mapping (BSM) is a recently developed self-report tool for the assessment of emotions in which people draw their sensations activation body silhouette. Following circumplex model affect, activity and valence are underling dimensions every emotional experience. The aim this study was to introduce neglected dimension BSM. We found that participants systematically report valence-related bodily lightness positive (happiness, love, pride), heaviness response negative (e.g.,...
Single SF6 molecules have been embedded in large He4 droplets (N̄4≈103–104 atoms) a molecular beam and studied via infrared laser depletion spectroscopy. The rotational fine structure of the ν3 transition is analyzed with an effective third order gas phase Hamiltonian yielding seven spectroscopic parameters as function measured mean droplet size. From intensities lines temperature N̄4&gt;103 atoms determined to be Trot=0.38(1) K consistent theoretical estimates. Quantitative information...

The locator/identifier split is an approach for a new addressing and routing architecture to make in the core of Internet more scalable. Based on this principle, we developed GLI-Split framework, which separates functionality current IP addresses into stable identifier two independent locators, one edge networks. This makes provides flexibility can be incrementally deployed it backward-compatible with IPv6 Internet. We describe its architecture, compare other approaches, present benefits,...
Boredom is a common yet complex state linked to low arousal and negative valence, but its bodily signature remains poorly understood. We used Bodily Sensation Mapping (BSM)—a self-report technique that visualizes where how emotions are felt in the body—to investigate boredom’s somatic pattern. In an online study, 292 participants colored body silhouettes indicate regions of increased or decreased activation pleasantness for boredom, anger, anxiety, happiness, sadness, curiosity. When...
