Computational study of the accuracy of the r-centroid approximation | Abstract The r -centroid approximation, used in the analysis of intensity measurements of electronic band spectra of diatomic molecules, allows a separation of the band strength into a pure vibrational term (the Franck-Condon factor q v ′ v ″ ) and an electronic term [the electronic transition moment Re ( r )]. The r -centroid approximation is known to have limits to its applicability. However, no specific error limits have previously been given. A computational study has been performed using several molecules and analytic curves to determine specific error limits which can be assigned to either a specific band strength, or in estimating the electronic transition moment using the r -centroid approximation. Other techniques suggested for the evaluation of Re ( r ) have also been tested. | Software engineers often need to identify and correct design defects, i.e., recurring design problems that hinder development and maintenance by making programs harder to comprehend and/or evolve. While detection of design defects is an actively researched area, their correction- mainly a manual and time-consuming activity- is yet to be extensively investigated for automation. In this paper, we propose an automated approach for suggesting defect-correcting refactorings using relational concept analysis (RCA). The added value of rca consists in exploiting the links between formal objects which abound in a software re-engineering context. We validated our approach on instances of the Blob design defect taken from four different open-source programs. | eng_Latn | 4,516 |

The paper proposes an approach to investigate the fine structure of the voltages circulating in the industrial network within the range of 300 kHz-20 MHz, which serves to do some measurements of real lines in real operating mode. It is shown that the interferences can be divided into basic- with spectral density changing slowly with frequency alteration and narrow-band (frequency-pulse). It is also indicated that the frequency concentrated interferences occupy usually 1-5% of the frequency range studied and their intensity is deeply modulated with the doubled frequency of the power supply voltage. There are areas with distinctly expressed low interferences around the zero transitions. The study is motivated by the search for sophisticated methods of high-speed data exchange through the power network. | In-building power lines have been considered as a medium for high speed data transmission for applications like home networking and Internet access. Frequency selectivity and time variation of this medium in addition to the high level of narrow-band and impulsive interference makes multi-carrier modulation, and especially its popular variant discrete multitone (DMT), an attractive modulation candidate for this application. This paper presents the results of our measurements of the high frequency characteristics of ordinary in-building power lines, as well as simulation results of a DMT transceiver system in an in-building power line environment. | [1] The origins of rip current pulsations within the infragravity frequency band (0.004–0.04 Hz) are determined from measurements made with arrays of colocated pressure and velocity sensors deployed on a beach with persistent rip current channels. The observations indicate significant energy in cross-shore infragravity velocities that varies spatially in the alongshore due to the presence of rip channels. Infragravity velocities are smaller within the rip channel than on the shore-connected shoal owing to differences in water depth. Rip current pulsations at infragravity frequencies are linked to standing infragravity motions but not to the ponding and subsequent release of water by wave group pumping. | eng_Latn | 4,934 |
With the increasing need of transmitting electrical energy over very long distances, combined with necessary space saving installations, the focus is more and more shifted to DC operated gas insulated systems. Their insulation system is nearly uniform, hence well-known problems, like space charge accumulation and metallic particles become more critical using SF6 in comparison to non-uniform air insulations. As soon as the applied voltage exceeds the inception voltage at the particle tips, the particle will produce charge carriers. These space charges will accumulate on the insulator and possibly influence the flashover behaviour. For a systematic study, variable parameters as the size of the particle and its position relative to the high voltage electrode, were chosen. In this paper, the flashover behaviour of epoxy resin insulators with adhesive metallic particles under both positive and negative DC voltage stress in gas insulated systems was investigated. | Particle-initiated breakdown characteristics in SF6 gas are investigated. Breakdown voltages are greatly influenced by particle diameter especially for AC voltages, and for very fine metallic wire particles are much higher than those for moderately thick ones. The breakdown stress of a gas gap is obtained as a function of particle length and can be estimated fairly well by assuming a corona stabilizing zone. For a spacer, the electric stress which is parallel to its surface dominates surface breakdowns and the relation between the stress and particle length is experimentally determined. In order to increase breakdown voltages, the effects of both the dielectric coating on a high-voltage electrode and spacer shape are examined. Finally, the effectiveness of the dielectric coating on a grounded electrode is demonstrated to prevent particle levitation. | We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups.

Integrated circuits (ICs) are often the source of the high-frequency noise that drives electromagnetic emissions from electronic products. A case study is presented where emissions from a printed circuit board containing an automotive microcontroller are reduced significantly through analysis of the coupling mechanisms from the chip to the board and attached cables. Noise generated by the IC is explored through measurements in a semi-anechoic chamber and TEM cell, through near-field scans, and through modifications to the printed circuit board. Noise is driven by the IC through both power and I/O connections. Results show that a ferrite in series with I/O power in this application reduced emissions by 10 dB or more at critical frequencies. Possible causes for emissions from the IC and modifications that might reduce these emissions are discussed. | Knowledge of high-frequency currents in the chip and chip-package are necessary for EMI analysis and prediction, though measurement of these currents may be difficult to obtain in many cases. One possibility is to estimate currents from near-field scan data. In this paper, measurements were made of the magnetic field over a simple circuit and a chip package. The current flowing in the circuit and the chip lead frame was estimated from the compensated near-field data and compared with measurements made directly on the pins. Estimation was performed both with and without structural information of the lead frame. The susceptibility of estimated currents to measurement errors was analyzed. Results show this technique can be a powerful tool for analyzing high frequency chip currents. | Pedestrian-induced vibration comfort is an important factor affecting the serviceability of footbridges.

We consider a simple conceptual model of random accessing to a receiver deploying multiuser detection techniques. The model is a simple extension of Massey and Mathys' collision channel without feedback in which a certain probability of recovery from collision is introduced. As the main result, we derive the slot-synchronized capacity region of this recovery channel and show that for sufficiently powerful multiuser detectors, maximal performance is achieved without any sophisticated transmission protocols. We also explore the effect of a simple fading model. | We study and compare the Shannon capacity region and the stable throughput region for a random access system in which source nodes multicast their messages to multiple destination nodes. Under an erasure channel model which accounts for interference and allows for multipacket reception, we first characterize the Shannon capacity region. We then consider a queueing-theoretic formulation and characterize the stable throughput region for two different transmission policies: a retransmission policy and random linear coding. Our results indicate that for large blocklengths, the random linear coding policy provides a higher stable throughput than the retransmission policy. Furthermore, our results provide an example of a transmission policy for which the Shannon capacity region strictly outer bounds the stable throughput region, which contradicts an unproven conjecture that the Shannon capacity and stable throughput coincide for random access systems. | E-commerce provides manufacturing enterprise with a direct access to market besides traditional sale channels, thus causing changes in the supply chain structure.

Channel noise in modern perpendicular channels is well approximated by a linear jitter model. In this paper, we propose a new type of Viterbi detector matched to such a channel model. The differentiating feature of this detector is recursive evaluation of whitened noise strengths for survivor paths using the on-the-fly Cholesky factorization of path-dependent correlation matrices. We study the performance of the detector using the simplest example of low-density channels with intersymbol interference length equal to three. We find that at BER = 10-4, the new detector outperforms the data-dependent AR-detector of the comparable complexity by about 0.9 dB. | The authors delayed-decision-feedback sequence estimation (DDFSE) for uncoded PAM signals is considered. Estimates on the performance of the algorithm are given, and simulation results are provided for several examples.

In this paper, we study the performance of blind adaptive beamforming algorithms for smart antennas in realistic environments. A constrained constant modulus (CCM) design criterion is described and used for deriving a recursive least squares (RLS) type optimization algorithm. Furthermore, two kinds of scenarios are considered in the paper for analyzing its performance. Simulations are performed to compare the performance of the proposed method to other well-known methods for blind adaptive beamforming. Results indicate that the proposed method has a significant faster convergence rate, better robustness to changeable environments and better tracking capability. | The use of adaptive antenna techniques to increase the channel capacity is discussed. Directional sensitivity is obtained by using an antenna array at the base station, possibly both in receiving and transmitting mode. A scheme for separating several signals at the same frequency is proposed. The method is based on high-resolution direction-finding followed by optimal combination of the antenna outputs. Comparison with a method based on reference signals is made. Computer simulations are carried out to test the applicability of the technique to scattering scenarios that typically arise in urban areas. The proposed scheme is found to have great potential in rejecting cochannel interference, albeit at the expense of high computational requirements. > | Perfect Quantum Cloning Machines (QCM) would allow to use quantum nonlocality for arbitrary fast signaling.

This work focuses on the impact of residual transmit impairments on the performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems with linear and non-linear receivers and precoders. We show that transmit noise significantly affects the performance of systems using precoding. Also, we show that non-linear MIMO receivers and precoders are more sensitive to transmit noise than their respective linear counterpart. Nevertheless, performance degradation can be noticeably alleviated if transmit noise is considered into filter optimization. | This study analyzes the impact of transmitter noise on the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems with linear and nonlinear receivers and precoders. We show that the performance of MIMO linear and decision-feedback receivers is not significantly influenced by the presence of transmitter noise, which does not hold true in the case of MIMO systems with precoding. Nevertheless, we also show that this degradation can be greatly alleviated when the transmitter noise is considered in the MIMO precoder design.

Realistic channel models are crucial in developing future wireless systems. Channel sounding and consequently propagation parameter estimation are key tasks in creating such models. In this paper we present an estimator for the angular distribution of the diffuse scattering component that is frequently observed in channel sounding measurements. Finding the Cramer-Rao lower bound and comparing the variances study the large sample performance of the estimator. The simulations show that the variance of the proposed estimation technique closely reaches the Cramer-Rao lower bound for small sample size and for any number of antennas. | The increased popularity of array antennas for wireless communication, has inspired investigations of the spatio-temporal properties of the radio channel, among others the azimuthal shape of the scattering clusters. Based on a statistical analysis, we show that trying to estimate the shape of the scattering is an ill-posed problem and that the heavy-tailed power azimuth spectra reported in the literature may be an artifact stemming only from the measurement procedure. | We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups.

A Multi-User Receiver for PUCCH LTE FORMAT 1 in Non-Cooperative Multi-Cell Architectures | In this paper, we propose a new multi-user receiver processing for PUCCH LTE that counteracts the ICI in a non-cooperative multi-cell architecture. Using the fact that the received signal in PUCCH signaling follows a constrained tensor model, a multi-user receiver based on an iterative joint channel/code estimation and symbol detection is proposed. The interest in such a challenging setting relies on the overhead reduction among neighboring cells. Simulation results show remarkable performance gains of the proposed receiver compared to the conventional time-frequency decorrelator based receiver under the same conditions. We also show a performance comparison with the cooperative version of such a tensor receiver. | Abstract This study contributes to the literature on socially responsible investing by examining the diversification potential of commodities, specifically oil, gold and clean energy together with the Brazilian Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE).

Performance evaluation of downlink LTE system with QPP interleaver for channel encoder | The design of the LTE physical layer (PHY) is heavily influenced by the requirements for high peak transmission rate (100 Mbps DL/50 Mbps UL), spectral efficiency and multiple channel bandwidths (1.25–20 MHz).

Ways to strengthen the weak spread spectrum signal to cancel a strong signal | (57) The invention provides a method for enhancing the tracking capability of the strong signal interference determined weak signal in the CDMA coded spread spectrum radio signal to the received weak signal including the intensity signal.

15MHz wide tuning-range OTA with −69dBHD3 and its application to Gm-C filter | This paper presents a high linearity operational transconductance amplifier (OTA).

Preliminary Simulation Study of Doppler Reflectometry | A preliminary simulation study of Doppler reflectometry is performed. The simulations solve Maxwell's equations by a finite difference time domain (FDTD) code method in two dimensions. A moving corrugated metal target is used as a plasma cutoff layer to study the basic features of Doppler reflectometry. We examined the effects of the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the electromagnetic waves and the corrugation depth of the metal target. Furthermore, the effect of a nonuniform plasma is studied using this FDTD analysis. The Doppler shift and velocity are compared with those obtained from FDTD analysis of a uniform plasma. | We assume a CDMA downlink multiuser scenario, where the base station is equipped with multiple transmit antennas, and each user has multiple receive antennas. For this setup we propose a new, computationally effective MIMO multiuser detector for frequency selective channels. We exploit the fact that the interference mainly comes from the spatial domain, while the residual interference is due to temporal dispersion and multiuser interference. This motivates us to suppress the residual interference in a linear fashion, while combating the spatial interference iteratively. This approach is an efficient performance-complexity tradeoff between fully iterative and linear detectors. | kor_Hang | 5,453 |
Short communication Anxious apprehension increases coupling of delta and beta oscillations | Recent findings showing that anxiety is associated with enhanced coupling of EEG rhythms imply higher information exchange between populations of neurons associated with different oscillatory systems. In this study, influence of uncertainty on alpha–delta anticorrelation and delta–beta coupling was studied in 39 subjects (27 females) aged 19 to 30 years who also filled out the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. A measure of alpha–delta anticorrelation showed trait-like properties being uniformly higher in high trait anxiety subjects independent of experimental manipulation. Contrariwise, delta–beta coupling appeared only in anxiogenic situation both in high and low anxiety subjects. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

The method will require developing techniques based on Time Reversal methods. A finite element method based on acousto-elastodynamics equations will be derived and used to solve the inverse problem. Our approach will be applied to configurations modeling breast cancer detection, using simulated ultrasound waves. | In this paper we study the performance of IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) priority schemes under finite load and error-prone channel. We introduce a multi-dimensional Markov Chain model that includes all the mandatory differentiation mechanisms of the standard: QoS parameters, CWMIN, CWMAX arbitration inter-frame space (AIFS), and the virtual collision handler. The model faithfully represents the functionality of the EDCA access mechanisms, including lesser known details of the standard such as the management of the backoff counter which is technically different from the one used in the legacy DCF. We study the priority schemes under both finite load and saturation conditions. Our analysis also takes into consideration channel conditions. | eng_Latn | 5,492 |
Two Dimensional Wavelet Transform Model for OFDM System | In this paper, a proposed structure was suggested by replacing the blocks of the fast Haar Wavelet Transform (WT) with a two dimensional wavelet transform at the transmitter and the receiver sides in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) model. This can be done by converting a 1-Dimensional vector into a 2-Dimensional matrix and process it by 2-Dimensional Wavelet Transform (2D-WT). The proposed method was applied on the OFDM in Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and flat fading channel. It was concluded that the proposed method gives much better Bit Error Rate (BER) performance than the conventional OFDM model based on WT. The simulation results showed that the proposd structure outperforms the other scheme in the carried tests at the AWGN and flat fading channels. | A weightedL2 norm is introduced in which Markov operators, e.g., associated with noisy maps, are contracting provided the kernel (i.e., the transitional distribution) is smooth enough.

The secrecy capacity of the MIMO wiretap channel | We consider the MIMO wiretap channel, that is a MIMO broadcast channel where the transmitter sends some confidential information to one user which is a legitimate receiver, while the other user is an eavesdropper. Perfect secrecy is achieved when the transmitter and the legitimate receiver can communicate at some positive rate, while insuring that the eavesdropper gets zero bits of information. In this paper, we compute the perfect secrecy capacity of the multiple antenna MIMO broadcast channel, where the number of antennas is arbitrary for both the transmitter and the two receivers. Our technique involves a careful study of a Sato-like upper bound via the solution of a certain algebraic Riccati equation. | We show <-50 dB AM-to-PM conversion over a wide photocurrent range in MUTC photodiodes.

Scale Factor Dependencies in Quantum Dipole Coupled Lee-Goldburg Cross-Polarization Experiments | Lee-Goldburg cross polarization is used in many NMR experiments to determine internuclear distances. Distances calculated from frequency peaks in the dipolar coupled dimension are subject to scale factors. Experimentally determined scale factors can differ significantly from the theoreticalyy useful value described in the literature. In this work, simulations using SPINEVOLUTION explore effects of varying experimental parameters of frequency offset and cross polarization powers on $^{15}$N-H systems. Experimental data is used to corroborate the simulation. The scale factor is shown not only to depend on the offset frequency but also the cross polarization powers of the observed nucleus. Scale factors greater than one are shown to be possible in simulated data, though such factors obscure the determination of internuclear distances. | The design of the LTE physical layer (PHY) is heavily influenced by the requirements for high peak transmission rate (100 Mbps DL/50 Mbps UL), spectral efficiency and multiple channel bandwidths (1.25–20 MHz).

Comb-like scattering realized by cylindrical plasmonic multilayers | We study the comb-like scattering response of cylindrical multilayered plasmonic nanostructures. Through oxide semiconductors with different doping levels, the comb-like scattering made up of multiple Fano resonances can be achieved with enough scattering excursion. Each sharp Fano resonance is associated with a degenerate state between a bipolar cloaking and a bipolar resonant scattering. When the semiconductor shell is thin enough, the scattering response is independent of the core and background materials, and even the size of the nanostructure under quasi-static conditions. The physical mechanism of the proposed comb-like device is explained by using full-wave electromagnetic simulation. Moreover, the scattering cross section of the device with a considerable thickness can exhibit reliable comb-like scattering under different thicknesses and material parameters, which is suitable for optical tagging applications. | Abstract Optical wireless communication technologies are finding a greater interest and wider attention within the research community of late.

Measuring method of longitudinally detected ESR signal intensities against resonant frequencies at 250 to 950 MHz in a constant microwave field | Signal intensities of longitudinally detected ESR (LODESR) of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl powder were precisely measured at 250 to 950 MHz under a constant magnetic field microwave that was applied using a single-turn coil. The LODESR signal intensity was reduced linearly due to smaller Zeeman splitting. Because the noise level was constant, the sensitivity of LODESR was approximately proportional to the resonant frequency. As far as we know, this study represents the first attempt to measure precisely the relationship between the signal intensities and resonant frequencies of ESR in an experimental condition. | This paper considers channel estimation and achievable rates for the uplink of a massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system where the base station is equipped with one-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). By rewriting the nonlinear one-bit quantization using a linear expression, we first derive a simple and insightful expression for the linear minimum mean-square-error (LMMSE) channel estimator. Then employing this channel estimator, we derive a closed-form expression for the lower bound of the achievable rate for the maximum ratio combiner (MRC) receiver. Numerical results are presented to verify our analysis and show that our proposed LMMSE channel estimator outperforms the near maximum likelihood (nML) estimator proposed previously. | eng_Latn | 5,550 |

Multiple fault diagnosis by signature recognition of time-varying residuals | A Fault Detection and Diagnosis scheme able to deal with concurrent, incipient, sensor and actuator faults is presented. The architecture allows the diagnosis whenever the system's outputs are less than the number of faults. Residual generation is achieved by taking advantage from observer-based design, whereas the classification is performed by extending the concept of directional residual towards a time-varying setting. The scheme is designed to leverage the power from both model-based and data-driven approaches while mitigating their inherent drawbacks. The performances of the proposed strategy are evaluated by employing real data coming from the TEKOB1 Thermal Plant of Kostolac, Serbia. | Channel estimation is an essential component, in which channel state information playing very important role in wireless communications.

Scalable Non-Binary Distributed Source Coding Using Gray Codes | In this paper we propose a bit-plane based, scalable distributed source coding (DSC) scheme for non-binary correlated sources. In the source coding part of DSC, the symbols are quantized and the quantization indices are converted into binary forms using Gray codes. The channel coding part encodes each bit-plane independently using turbo codes. The turbo decoder that works in binary domain is facilitated by an outer loop that captures the symbol-domain correlation.

Antenna Patch Design Using a Photonic Crystal Substrate at a Frequency of 1.6 THz | In this paper, the design of a macro strip patch antenna with a photonic crystal structure has been studied. The purpose of this study is to create a photonic band gap (PBG) structure that can be used to design macro strip antennas. With this method, we can increase the bandwidth several times and increase the antenna’s gain. The noise and radiation loss of the antenna will also be significantly reduced by the use of PGB technology. The bandwidth of the antenna is 0.6 GHz to 1.6 THz. At 1.4 THz, the gain is 7.703 dB. This antenna is widely used in high frequency microwave transmitter and microwave receiver systems. | This work presents three improved plasma display panel (PDP) sustainers for reducing current stress and nonlinear effect due to parasitic and distributed components. In the paper, a useful cell equivalent circuit model is first introduced to describe the behavior of PDP cell operation, and a widely used sustainer is then reviewed, on which three improved ones are proposed. The proposed sustainers can reduce currents through the switches and nonlinear effect due to parasitic and distributed components along the energy-recovery circuit paths. Derivation and operating principle of the proposed sustainers are addressed in detail. In addition, their related gaseous discharge mechanism in PDP cells is also presented. Hardware measurements have verified the feasibility of the proposed sustainers. | eng_Latn | 6,818 |
High-performance circular probe-fed stacked patch antenna designs are explored through the use of numerical optimization. New trends are sought to aid understanding and to suggest novel solutions. We describe the optimization technique, present a new design trend relating efficiency and bandwidth to the choice of substrate dielectric, and propose and demonstrate a novel, optimized antenna achieving 33% bandwidth whilst maintaining greater than 80% surface wave efficiency. | We investigate the parameters that control the impedance and radiation performance of proximity coupled stacked microstrip patch radiators. In particular we explore the relationship required between the dielectric layers to achieve broadband behavior and also how the dimensions of the stacked radiators and the relative location of the feed can influence the impedance response. Bandwidths in excess of 20% can be achieved with careful layer design. We also investigate the dielectric layer configurations required to achieve broadband impedance responses when higher dielectric constant feed material is used. This latter study is of particular importance when designing MMIC compatible printed antennas. | Berzelius failed to make use of Faraday's electrochemical laws in his laborious determination of equivalent weights. | eng_Latn | 6,850 |
A Dual-Polarization Slot Antenna Using a Compact CPW Feeding Structure | A dual-polarization coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed slot antenna is proposed in this letter. By exploiting the even and odd modes of a CPW structure, two orthogonal polarizations can be excited in a slot aperture by the same feeding CPW, which results in a compact dual-polarization antenna design with very good isolation between the ports. The -10-dB reflection coefficient bandwidths of two polarizations are 670 MHz (27.9%) for one polarization and 850 MHz (35.4%) for the other, and the isolation between the two ports in the WLAN band is better than -32.6 dB. The radiation pattern and efficiency of the proposed antenna are also measured, and radiation pattern data are compared with simulation results. | This paper represents a channel length ratio optimization at a different high logic level voltage for 6-Silicon Nanowire Transistors (SiNWT) SRAM cell. This study is the first to demonstrate an optimized length ratio of nanowires with different Vdd of nano-scale SiNWT based SRAM cell. Noise margins (NM) and inflection voltage (Vinf) of transfer characteristics are used as limiting factors in this optimization. Results indicate that optimization depends on both length ratios of nanowires and logic voltage level (Vdd), and increasing of high logic voltage level of the SiNWT based SRAM cell tends to decrease in the optimized nanowires length ratio with decreasing in current and power. | kor_Hang | 6,886 |
Compact microstrip diplexers based on a dual-passband filter | Novel microstrip diplexer structures composed of a dual-passband filter together with two matching circuits are proposed. By using only a single dual-passband filter, the proposed diplexer may be made compact when compared with the conventional diplexer configuration which has two single- passband filters. In this study, the dual-passband filter is realized using the parallel-coupled microstrip structures, and the matching circuits are developed based on the stepped- impedance transmission-line sections along with suitable open stubs. By suitably incorporating the open stubs into the matching circuits, a 3 rd-order Chebyshev microstrip diplexer with dual center frequencies at 2.36 GHz and 5.17 GHz and an acceptable isolation is implemented. | Abstract A new formulation for the C 0 quadrilateral and Serendipity plate elements is presented. It is an extension of the mode-decomposition approach that has been successfully applied in evaluating the C 0 triangular linear plate element. In contrast to the triangular element, the concept of an equivalent discrete Kirchhoff configuration is utilized. The elements are applied to several examples and the performance of these elements is shown to be quite good. | eng_Latn | 6,888 |

Volumetric thermal gratings were created in liquid and gaseous media and were used to efficiently deflect laser beams.

A newly-developed radial optical path design and putting-in packaging structure with a monolithic PLC platform were applied. | We investigate the feasibility of implementing an elementary building block for quantum information processing. The combination of a deterministic single photon source based on vacuum stimulated adiabatic rapid passage, and a quantum memory based on electromagnetically induced transparency in atomic vapour is outlined. Both systems are able to produce and process temporally shaped wavepackets which provides a way to maintain the indistinguishability of retrieved and original photons. We also propose an efficient and robust `repeat-until-success' quantum computation scheme based on this hybrid architecture. | Background ::: The optimal treatment for elderly patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains inconclusive.

Laser-induced fluorescence in the infrared from high-resolution Fourier transform spectroscopy | A comparison is made between stepwise and continuous scanning high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometers (HRFTSs) for the study of laser-induced fluorescence spectra of simple models in the infrared with a dense spectrum. The high-quality data show that the HRFTS is an excellent instrument for studying molecular structures from emission spectra.

Influence of vibrational relaxation on the quantum efficiency of a KrF excimer laser | A theoretical analysis is made of the kinetics of electronic–vibrational relaxation of excimer molecules in the active medium of a KrF laser. Equations are derived to describe the dependence of the lasing quantum efficiency on the photon flux in the resonator, on the mechanism of formation of electronically excited molecules, and on the composition of the active gas mixture. | The generation and behavior of the fractal Koch array factor from a Kaiser window generator is studied. The main advantage of using Kaiser windows is that pattern parameters become much more flexible through altering the Kaiser window. The mainlobe width, current distribution, side-lobe ratio are now adjustable. Different reduced array structures can be obtained by using different threshold levels. Higher threshold values result in a highly reduced number of elements but they may highly distort the pattern and, hence, the multiband behavior. Finally, we study the effect of quantization of the feeding values. Quantization is necessary for implementation and simplification purposes. Several configurations of current distributions with the corresponding patterns are illustrated for different quantization levels. It is shown that moderate quantization keeps the same interesting similarity properties at several bands. | eng_Latn | 7,773 |
Measurement of the quantum yield of triplet formation and short triplet lifetimes by the transient grating technique | A transient grating method for measuring the quantum yield of triplet formation (Φisc) and lifetimes of short‐lived triplet states is proposed. The method is based on a measurement of time dependence of a thermal grating signal with a nanosecond pulsed laser and a cw probe laser. The validity of the method is demonstrated by determining Φisc of a number of molecules whose Φisc are known. Advantages and limitations of this method are discussed in detail. | The design of the LTE physical layer (PHY) is heavily influenced by the requirements for high peak transmission rate (100 Mbps DL/50 Mbps UL), spectral efficiency and multiple channel bandwidths (1.25–20 MHz). Unfortunately, the existing WCDMA turbo interleaver does not permit an efficient high throughput implementation. That is why the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has proposed the quadratic polynomial permutation (QPP) interleaver to rectify this situation. In this paper, we will study the performances of QPP interleaver for LTE encoder channel for different configurations of LTE system and we study the effect of LTE channel turbo encoder for the transmission over a wireless multipath channel. | eng_Latn | 7,779 |
