We report a strong prepulse dependence of the emission of X-rays from plasmas created by 150 fs Ti:sapphire laser pulses on solids. The laser pulses were focused onto plane samples of aluminium and vanadium with a main pulse power density of about 2.5 x 10(16) W cm(-2). By splitting off a portion of the main pulse we were able to generate a prepulse whose delay and intensity were variable relative

The article focuses on the ways exiled Tibetan youth interact on the Internet. It is argued that the discussions and debates on the Net not only communicate a sense of unity, but that they strive to control the various expressions of Tibetan identity as well. Internet has become an important arena for diasporic communities and must be recognized for its creative potential. The core of the debates

A differential absorption (DIAL) lidar system based on a Raman shifted KrF excimer laser was constructed and employed for vertically sounding measurements of tropospheric ozone, This system is described, including a presentation of measurements of Raman shifting efficiencies in hydrogen and deuterium. The performance of the new system was evaluated in measurement campaigns involving two further op
