Sorry, I misunderstood your code.  The "Alpha.*t" syntax deceived me, yet Alpha 
might
quite well be a vector of thermal diffusivities, too.

The picture you placed here:

is not easy to read (bad quality), in special the subscripts.

Showing the whole code is a nice idea.  Someone might like to play with it a 
bit.
