Atmospheres of brown dwarfs
No full textChH highlights financial support of the European Community under the FP7 by an ERC starting grant. SLC acknowledges financial support of University of LeicesterBrown Dwarfs are the coolest class of stellar objects known to date. Our present perception is that Brown Dwarfs follow the principles of star formation, and that Brown Dwarfs share many characteristics with planets. Being the darkest and lowest mass stars known makes Brown Dwarfs also the coolest stars known. This has profound implication for their spectral fingerprints. Brown Dwarfs cover a range of effective temperatures which cause brown dwarfs atmospheres to be a sequence that gradually changes from a M-dwarf-like spectrum into a planet-like spectrum. This further implies that below an effective temperature of ≲ 2800K, clouds form already in atmospheres of objects marking the boundary between M-Dwarfs and brown dwarfs. Recent developments have sparked the interest in plasma processes in such very cool atmospheres: sporadic and quiescent radio emission has been observed in combination with decaying Xray-activity indicators across the fully convective boundary.Peer reviewe
Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate

The mixed problem in L p for some two-dimensional Lipschitz domains
No full textWe consider the mixed problem, {Δ u = 0 in Ω ∂u = f N on N u = fD on D in a class of Lipschitz graph domains in two dimensions with Lipschitz constant at most 1. We suppose the Dirichlet data, f D , has one derivative in L p (D) of the boundary and the Neumann data, f N , is in L p (N). We find a p 0 > 1 so that for p in an interval (1, p 0), we may find a unique solution to the mixed problem and the gradient of the solution lies in L p . © 2008 Springer-Verlag

Halsted M. Stone, M.D., oral history interview, December 18, 1992
No full textDr. Laurie L. Brown, M.D., and Dr. Allen Brown, M.D., conducted this oral history interview at the 145th Annual Meeting of the South Carolina Medical Association (SCMA) at the Omni Hotel in Charleston, South Carolina, on April 23, 1993. In this interview, Dr. Halsted M. Stone, M.D., discusses his family, educational background, career in medicine, and service in organized medicine. Stone also discusses his tenure as a councilor for SCMA and as President for the association from 1980 to 1981. Among the issues facing the association and the field of medicine during his tenure, Dr. Stone notes: healthcare access, rising healthcare costs, high insurance premiums, national health insurance, the establishment of health maintenance organizations for industry professions, and the creation of a committee to help physicians renegotiate salary contracts. Stone also discusses his work in beginning the professional review organization (PSRO) and with South Carolina Governor Richard Riley to place non-physicians on all boards
