Fronts Propagating into Unstable States. Pulled vs Pushed Fronts... 

The fact that an infinity of front velocities occurs for pulled fronts gives rise to the problem of velocity selection. In this section we present two methods to tackle this problem. The first method employs the Hamilton-Jacobi theory to analyze the dynamics of the front position. It is equivalent to the marginal stability analysis (MSA) [448] and applies only to pulled fronts propagating into unstable states. However, in contrast to the MSA method, the Hamilton-Jacobi approach can also deal with pulled fronts propagating in heterogeneous media, see Chap. 6. The second method is a variational principle that works both for pulled and pushed fronts propagating into unstable states as well as for those propagating into metastable states. This principle can deal with the problem of velocity selection, if it is possible to find the proper trial function. Otherwise, it provides only lower and upper bounds for the front velocity. 

The sensitivity of fronts to the dynamics of small perturbations about the unstable or metastable states has been studied by Brunet and Derrida [61] for pulled fronts and Kessler et al. [227] for pulled and pushed fronts. The mean-field description of reacting and diffusing systems ceases to be valid for low values of the particle density p, values that correspond to less than one particle. This fact can be incorporated into the RD equation by introducing a cutoff for the reaction term. Such a cutoff strongly affects the front velocity. Throughout this section we consider for simplicity that space and time have been rescaled such that D = r =. ... 

It is shown that metrological characteristics of the suggested methods are commensurable. Dissolved gas is pushed away by front of crystallization, takes the air and does not influence on the obtained results during the analysis of the water. Process is carried out at the lower temperature (-15°C), expelling chemical transformations of ingredients. The procedure was tested on different samples of natural and drinking water of the Kharkov region. 

Boron implant with laser anneal. Boron atoms are accelerated into the backside of the CCD, replacing about 1 of 10,000 silicon atoms with a boron atom. The boron atoms create a net negative charge that push photoelectrons to the front surface. However, the boron implant creates defects in the lattice structure, so a laser is used to melt a thin layer (100 nm) of the silicon. As the silicon resolidihes, the crystal structure returns with some boron atoms in place of silicon atoms. This works well, except for blue/UV photons whose penetration depth is shorter than the depth of the boron implant. Variations in implant depth cause spatial QE variations, which can be seen in narrow bandpass, blue/UV, flat fields. This process is used by E2V, MIT/LL and Samoff. 

The stress is in compression in front of the contact, i.e., the friction component pushes. At the end of the first contact the stress is strongly in tension, decreasing rapidly away from the contact and passes again into compression at midpoint between the two contacts. If more contact points are...
