Stealthy Hyperuniform Systems. We have shown that so-called stealthy hyperuniform states can be created as disordered ground states 3,4 and that they possess novel scattering properties 3. This has led to the discovery of the existence disordered two-phase dielectric materials with complete photonic band gaps that are comparable in size to. Disordered hyperuniformity implies long-range direct correlations in the system. In equilibrium, this requires delicately designed long-range interactions, which are not necessary for the dynamic self-assembly of non-equilibrium hyperuniform states. Hyperuniform. Definition of hyperuniformity in the Definitions.net dictionary. Meaning of hyperuniformity. What does hyperuniformity mean? Information and translations of hyperuniformity in the most comprehensive dictionary definitions resource on the web. Hyperuniform systems fall into two main classes. Those in the first class, such as quasicrystals — bizarre solids whose interlocked atoms follow no repeating pattern, yet tessellate space — appear to be hyperuniform upon reaching equilibrium, the stable configuration that particles settle into of their own accord. In these equilibrium.

Well, I started using fanpop back in May 2007, and since then I see how the community keeps increasing in numbers which is great. I haven't been the most active user for a while now, but as I said somewhere else, I've always loved the site and therefore I come back every once in a while to spend some time fanpopping.There is something I've noticed lately, that is obviously hard to control as the amount of users grows, but I thought I would point it out. What I noticed is a serious misunderstanding of the idea behind the 'props' feature. Let's start with the basics, according to the Online. Hello Fanpoppers. By now you may have noticed a nifty new feature was rolled out this afternoon.

It's the Fanpop Pop Quiz, a way to test your knowledge of all sorts of arcane trivia from movies, to music to hamsters.Before diving into the details of the game, I want to send out a hearty THANKS to the Fanpop team. In particular, a big prop to who put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into this feature.I'd also like to thank all the great beta testers who helped us test and refine the feature for the past month. Finally, a thank you to - the site that provided the nifty default icon sets. About 2 weeks ago, there was a question on this fan-site, asking which were the most embarrassing things we did here on Fanpop, however, I couldn't answer it because 'apparently' my answer was far too long. As a result, I have decided to write an article about it, instead.Before we begin, I want to make a disclaimer that most of the things I'll be talking about revolve around Disney's Frozen, since that's the thing I was obsessed with when I became a Fanpop member.I've been here on Fanpop since November of 2014, and I've made some pretty embarrassing things myself. Here they are:1.In November.

The Onomastics of the Gothic language (Gothic personal names) is an important source not only for the history of the Goths themselves, but for Germanic onomastics in general and the linguistic and cultural history of the Germanic Heroic Age of c. the 3rd to 6th centuries.Gothic names can be found in Roman records as far back as the 4th century AD. After the Muslim invasion of Hispania and the fall of the Visigothic kingdom in the early 8th century, the Gothic tradition was largely interrupted, although Gothic or pseudo-Gothic names continued to be given in the Kingdom of Asturias in the 9th and 10th centuries.

History[edit]

The names of the Goths themselves have been traced to their 3rd century settlement in Scythia. The names Tervingi and Greuthungi have been interpreted as meaning 'forest-dwellers' and 'steppe-dwellers', respectively. Later on, the terms Ostrogothi and Visigothi have also been understood to mean 'Eastern (oriental) Goths' and 'Western (occidental) Goths', although all four etymologies are not without detractors.[1]

Jordanes gives partly mythological genealogies leading up to historical 4th to 5th century rulers:

  • Amali dynasty: Gapt, Hulmu, Augis, Amal, Athal, Achiulf, Oduulf, Ansila, Ediulf, Vultuulf, Ermanaric
  • Vultuulf, Valaravans, Vinithariust Vandalarius, Theodemir, Valamir, Vidimer.

Another important source of early Gothic names are the accounts (hagiography) surrounding the persecution of Gothic Christians in the second half of the 4th century. Many of the Gothic saints mentioned in these sources bear resemblance to Syrian, Cappadocian and Phrygian names, following in the baptismal tradition of that time.

Even though the Muslim invasion of Hispania (715 AD) and subsequent fall of the Visigothic kingdom in the early 8th century caused most Gothic naming traditions to be lost, a type of Gothic or pseudo-Gothic[2] naming tradition continued in the Kingdom of Asturias, which by that time had become the central driving force behind the Christian reconquest of Andalusia.Thus, Alfonso I of Asturias was originally given the Gothic name *Adafuns or Adalfuns, becoming one of the most popular names in the medieval Iberian kingdoms.

In France, where remnants of the old Visigothic Kingdom still remained (Gothic March),Gothic names continued to be common up until the 12th century.[3]
