Top seeded solution growth of SiC on on-axis 6H-SiC was performed using Si solvent at growth temperature as high as 1645-1870°C. It was found that different polytypes of SiC layers were grown on 6H-SiC depending on gas species during growth. The growth under He atmosphere produced 6H-SiC homoepitaxial layers. On the other hand, the growth under N2-He atmosphere led to 3C-SiC epitaxial layers. It was obvious that the nitrogen dissolved in solvent strongly favoured the 3C-SiC polytype formation on 6H-SiC. We also conducted characterization of 3C-SiC layers grown on 6H-SiC (0001)Si by TEM, molten KOH etching and precise XRD measurement.

The stable long time growth with the use of Si -C-Ti ternary solution was realized by improving the thermal condition during the growth. We have succeeded in obtaining a maximum 10 mm thick bulk 6H-SiC crystal, which is the largest bulk crystal ever obtained by the solution growth technique. The obtained crystal was free of cracks and exhibited a homogeneous light green color. The crystallinity of the grown crystal was characterized by X-ray rocking curve measurements using (0006) reflection and by the molten KOH etching. The mapping of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) revealed the average FWHM around 30 arc seconds and the minimal FWHM under 16 arc seconds. The etch pit density (EPD) was typically in the range between 104 and 105 cm-2, which was comparable to that of the crystal seed.

AbstractThis paper gives a new characterization of the dimension of a normal Hausdorff space, which joins together the Eilenberg-Otto characterization and the characterization by finite coverings. The link is furnished by the notion of a system of faces of a certain type (N1,..., NK), where N1,..., NK, K are natural numbers. It is shown that a space X contains a system of faces of type (N1,..., NK) if and only if dim(X) ≥ N1 + … + NK. The two limit cases of the theorem, namely Nk = 1 for 1 ≤ k ≤ K on the one hand, and K = 1 on the other hand, give the two known results mentioned above.

“Pacharán” is an aniseed liquor-based beverage made with sloe berry ( Prunus spinosa L.) that has been produced in northern Spain. On the other hand, maqui berry ( Aristotelia chilensis) is a common edible berry from Chile, and currently under study because of its multiple beneficial effects on health. The aim of this work was to design a new aniseed liquor-based beverage with maqui berry, as an industrial alternative to a traditional alcoholic product with bioactive berries. The characterization of its composition, compared with the traditional “Pacharán”, and its evolution during maceration (6 and 12 months) showed that the new maqui liquor had significantly-higher anthocyanin retention over time. More studies on the organoleptic properties and bioactivity are underway.

According to the FAIR guiding principles, one of the central attributes for maximizing the added value of information artifacts is interoperability. In this paper, I discuss the importance, and propose a characterization of the notion of Semantic Interoperability. Moreover, I show that a direct consequence of this view is that Semantic Interoperability cannot be achieved without the support of, on one hand, (i) ontologies, as meaning contracts capturing the conceptualizations represented in information artifacts and, on the other hand, of (ii) Ontology, as a discipline proposing formal meth- ods and theories for clarifying these conceptualizations and articulating their representations. In particular, I discuss the fundamental role of formal ontological theories (in the latter sense) to properly ground the construction of representation languages, as well as methodological and computational tools for supporting the engineering of ontologies (in the former sense) in the context of FAIR.

We investigated the effect of a melt-back process on the quality of the grown crystal in 4H-SiC solution growth. In our experiments, the crystal was grown by top-seeded solution growth (TSSG) method with and without melt-back, following which the quality of the obtained crystals was compared. When solution growth was carried out without melt-back, solvent inclusions and a different polytype were observed. When molten KOH etching was conducted, the dislocation density in the crystals at the early stage of growth became much higher than that in a seed crystal. Solvent inclusions, a different polytype, and an increase in dislocations were suppressed when solution growth was performed with melt-back. It was confirmed that melt-back is necessary to prevent the deterioration of crystal quality at the early stage of solution growth.

The purpose of this paper is to relate two notions of Sobolev and BV spaces into metric spaces, due to Korevaar and Schoen on the one hand, and Jost on the other hand. We prove that these two notions coincide and define the same p-energies. We review also other definitions, due to Ambrosio (for BV maps into metric spaces), Reshetnyak and finally to the notion of Newtonian–Sobolev spaces. These last approaches define the same Sobolev (or BV) spaces, but with a different energy, which does not extend the standard Dirichlet energy. We also prove a characterization of Sobolev spaces in the spirit of Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu in terms of "limit" of the space Ws,p as s → 1, 0 < s < 1, and finally following the approach proposed by Nguyen. We also establish the [Formula: see text] regularity of traces of maps in Ws,p (0 < s ≤ 1 < sp).

In Anarchy, State, and Utopia, Robert Nozick contrasts entitlement theories of justice and “traditional” theories such as Rawls', utilitarianism or egalitarianism, and advocates the former against the latter. What exactly is an entitlement theory (or conception or principle) of justice? Nozick's book offers two distinct characterizations. On the one hand, he explicitly describes “the general outlines of the entitlement theory” as maintaining “that the holdings of a person are just if he is entitled to them by the principles of justice in acquisition and transfer, or by the principle of rectification of injustice (as specified by the first two principles of just acquisition and transfer)” (Nozick, 1974, p. 153). On the other hand, his famous “Wilt Chamberlain” argument against alternative theories is first said to apply to (all) “non-entitlement conceptions” (p. 160), and later to any “end-state principle or distributional patterned principle of justice” (p. 163) — which amounts to an implicit characterization of an entitlement conception (theory, principle) as a conception of justice which is neither end-state nor patterned.

We characterize the computational power of several restricted variants of communicating P systems. We show that 2-deterministic communicating P systems with 2 membranes, working in either minimally or maximally parallel mode, are computationally universal. Considering the sequential mode, 2 membranes are shown to characterize the power of partially blind multicounter machines. Next, a characterization of the power of 1-deterministic communicating P systems is given. Finally, we show that the nondeterministic variant in maximally parallel mode is universal already with 1 membrane. These results demonstrate differences in computational power between nondeterminism, 2-determinism and 1-determinism, on one hand, and between sequential, minimally and maximally parallel modes, on the other hand.
