The document summarizes simulations of electrostatic and electromagnetic turbulence in reversed magnetic shear plasmas. It describes simulations of (1) ion temperature gradient turbulence and collisionless trapped electron mode turbulence, finding no linear or nonlinear mechanisms for internal transport barrier formation, and (2) reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes driven by fast ions. It concludes that external mechanisms like sheared flows may be needed to suppress drift wave turbulence and form internal transport barriers.
1) The rotational Doppler effect describes a change in the resonant frequency of a system due to relative rotation between the emitter and observer. (Beginning sentence)
2) For magnetic resonance systems like ESR, NMR, and FMR, the resonant frequency is sensitive to magnetic fields and will shift due to the rotational Doppler effect caused by particle rotation.
3) For free magnetic nanoparticles with rotation rates of around 100 kHz, the rotational Doppler shift of around 100 kHz is measurable and on the same order as the linewidth for ESR and FMR, allowing determination of the maximum position with 100 kHz accuracy.

Awg waveform compensation by maximum entropy methodFangXuIEEE
This document discusses using maximum entropy methods for waveform compensation to overcome limitations in instrument bandwidth. It presents the problem of distorted waveforms due to limited bandwidth and describes using pre-distortion to cancel out the effects of linear distortion.

2) The electron-positron plasma showed weaker electrostatic field growth and larger voids between filaments in the final stages.
3) While the magnetic energy saturation level was unchanged, the magnetic pressure gradient force led to differences in filament size, separation, and filling factor between the two cases.
This document summarizes research on the open-circuit voltage (Voc) in organic solar cells. Key points include:
- Voc is defined as the voltage when the current is zero under illumination but non-zero under dark conditions.
- Polaron pair dissociation can generate free charge carriers even at zero electric field and Voc, contributing to power conversion efficiency.
- Bulk recombination of free charges follows Langevin dynamics and limits Voc at room temperature. Surface "recombination" is better described as the charge extraction rate at electrodes.
- Voc decreases with increasing temperature as the charge carrier concentration n(T) also decreases with temperature based on thermal generation and recombination processes.

The responses of torque, speed and current are analyzed and compared under the different control strategies. Key characteristics of the DRPMSM such as the relationship between the speeds of the inner and outer rotors are also analyzed.
An Analytical Expression for Service Curves of Fading ChannelsGiacomo Verticale
In this paper, we develop a method for analyzing time-varying wireless channels in the context of the modern theory of the stochastic network calculus. In particular, our technique is applicable to channels that can be modeled as Markov chains, which is the case of channels subject to Rayleigh fading. Our approach relies on theoretical results on the convergence time of reversible Markov processes and is applicable to chains with an arbitrary number of states. We provide two expressions for the delay tail distribution of traffic transmitted over a fading channel fed by a Markov source. The first expression is tighter and only requires a simple numerical minimization, the second expression is looser, but is in closed form.

Diagrams and equations illustrate PLL principles such as the relationship between phase and frequency in voltage-controlled oscillators and phase detectors. Examples show PLL behavior in both locked and acquisition states.
Rare event techniques are used to sample rare thermal activation processes that cannot be directly observed in simulation or experiment. Common methods include constrained minimization, nudged elastic band, dimer method, and Monte Carlo. Nudged elastic band constructs a chain of images describing the minimum energy pathway between reactants and products on a potential energy surface. Monte Carlo uses random sampling to infer properties from many probabilistic experiments weighted by the Boltzmann factor. These methods help characterize transition states that are challenging to describe with a single reaction coordinate.
The document discusses an approach to measuring the electric dipole moment (EDM) of the neutron.

It also acknowledges collaborators from other institutions. The key ideas are to measure the neutron EDM through Ramsey's method of separated oscillatory fields in a static electric field, and to improve statistical and systematic uncertainties through technical upgrades and experimental design choices.

The document provides circuit diagrams and equations for analyzing the various CS stage variations.
The document discusses mathematical models for describing the rheological behavior of non-Newtonian fluids and slurries, including the power law, Bingham plastic, and yield power law models. It also provides equations for calculating important parameters like friction factors, head loss, critical velocity, and Reynolds number for fluid flow in pipes using these models. Different flow regimes including laminar, turbulent, and transitional flow are addressed.
Meta-materials are materials that have properties allowing them to manipulate electromagnetic waves in ways not possible with conventional materials. They can block, absorb, enhance, or bend waves. Split ring resonators are a basic building block, consisting of concentric conductive rings that behave as an LC circuit. When an external time-varying magnetic field is applied, it induces currents in the rings that can enhance or oppose the incident field. By combining split ring resonators with both negative permeability and permittivity, a composite right/left-handed transmission line is created. This allows the material to transition from left-handed to right-handed behavior and enables properties like a zeroth-order resonance where the resonance frequency is independent of physical length.

Procedures measured waveforms and voltages at different frequencies and terminations to calculate propagation properties. Results showed the time for signals to travel and reflections to return, along with voltage distributions along the line for open, short, and matched terminations.

This document proposes a novel structure to improve the common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of circuits like current buffers and folded cascode amplifiers. The proposed structure uses only four transistors and a current source to deviate common mode signals without affecting differential mode signals. This improves the CMRR by at least 12dB while preserving the CMRR bandwidth, which is a novel technique. The structure was applied to both a current buffer and folded cascode amplifier based on simulation results, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving CMRR.
ESS-Bilbao Initiative Workshop. RF structure comparison for low energy accele...ESS BILBAO
This document compares different radio frequency (RF) structures that can be used for particle acceleration in the low energy range of 3 MeV to 200 MeV. It discusses figures of merit like shunt impedance and beam dynamics constraints for different structure types, including drift tube linacs (DTLs), coupled cavity drift tube linacs (CCDTLs), separated drift tube linacs (SDTLs), spoke cavities, and traveling wave structures. A comparison performed by the HIPPI collaboration assessed the performance of these structures based on factors like shunt impedance, beam dynamics acceptance, and mechanical complexity. Overall, no consensus structure exists for the low energy range, and the optimal design depends on project-specific parameters and future technology developments.

Coercivity weighted Langevin magnetisation: A new approach to interpret super...Dhanesh Rajan
This document summarizes a new approach called "coercivity weighted Langevin magnetization" that more accurately models the superparamagnetic and nonsuperparamagnetic behavior of single domain magnetic nanoparticles.

The new model combines steady and time-varying magnetization dynamics and considers factors affecting the superparamagnetic state. It defines the transition between superparamagnetic and nonsuperparamagnetic states more precisely and allows direct calculation of coercivity-weighted magnetization and susceptibility.

This document presents a comparative study of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) for estimating the rotor speed and position of a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive. It describes using an EKF to estimate motor states like speed, flux vector position, and currents from measurements of three-phase stator currents. The EKF is used because the PMSM system is nonlinear. Simulation results in MATLAB show the EKF can successfully estimate the motor states in real-time without position sensors.

Cyclic gramicidin S ions were soft landed onto gold surfaces modified with different terminal groups. A FT-ICR mass spectrometer was used to perform real-time secondary ion mass spectrometry during and after soft landing to monitor the peptide and surface peaks. The results showed the peptide ions retained some charge after landing and gradually desorbed over time, with desorption rates dependent on the terminal group of the modifying layer.

The process of nanoparticle agglomeration as a function of the monomer-monomer interaction potential is simulated numerically by solving Langevin equations for a set of interacting monomers in three dimensions. The simulation results are used to investigate the structure of the generated clusters and the collision frequency between small clusters. Cluster restructuring is also observed and discussed. We identify a time-dependent fractal dimension whose evolution is linked to the kinetics of two cluster populations. The absence of screening in the Langevin equations is discussed and its effect on cluster translational and rotational properties is quantified.
"Squeezed States in Bose-Einstein Condensate"Chad Orzel
1. The document discusses the formation of squeezed quantum states in Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in optical lattices. By slowly ramping up the depth of the optical lattice, the atoms can be prepared in a number-squeezed state.
2. Releasing the atoms from the lattice allows their wavefunctions to overlap and interfere, providing a way to probe the quantum phase state of the atoms. Number-squeezed states are observed to produce interference patterns with higher contrast than coherent states.
3. Variational calculations of the quantum state dynamics during lattice ramping and dephasing agree qualitatively with experimental observations of the transition between coherent and squeezed states.
A Closed-Form Expression for Queuing Delay in Rayleigh Fading Channels Using ...Giacomo Verticale
This document is a research paper that uses stochastic network calculus to model a wireless channel subject to Rayleigh fading and obtain an approximate closed-form expression for the probability tail of queuing delay. The paper presents the Markovian model of the Rayleigh fading channel, discusses the spectral gap in Markov chains and stochastic network calculus. It then derives the service envelope of the fading channel and compares the queuing delay expression to simulation results, finding a good match between the analysis and simulations. The conclusion is that stochastic network calculus can be used to successfully study wireless channels.
Anomalous Behavior Of SSPC In Highly Crystallized Undoped Microcrystalline Si...Sanjay Ram

Three Phase Controlled Rectifier Study in Terms of firing angle variationsIDES Editor
This paper introduce topology of three phase
controlled rectifiers and proposed an accurate Statistical
method to calculate their input current harmonic components,
and calculate THD and harmonic currents with accurate
simulation in various firing angles, then investigate influence
of load variations in terms of firing angle variations on
harmonic currents. Finally a harmonic current database of
rectiûers is obtained in terms of firing angle and load
variations.
Quantum storage and manipulation of heralded single photons in atomic quantum...Pin ju Tsai
This document discusses quantum storage and manipulation of heralded single photons in atomic quantum memories. It begins with an overview of the key components - photon-pair sources that emit correlated photon pairs and quantum memories that can store and replay the quantum state of light. It then discusses various schemes for photon-pair sources and quantum memories, including spontaneous parametric down-conversion, electromagnetically induced transparency, and cold atomic systems. The document also describes an experimental setup using a cavity-SPDC photon-pair source and rubidium atomic memories, and evaluates the performance of the photon-pair source.
My Thesis: Influence of Microstructure on the Electronic Transport Behavior o...Sanjay Ram
My Thesis
I investigated the microstructure of a wide variety of nano and microcrystalline Si (μc-Si:H) films
produced under different growth conditions using different characterization probes (spectroscopic
ellipsometry, Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction) at different stages of film growth.
In microstructural studies, I applied a novel modeling method for deconvolution of Raman
spectra of the μc-Si:H films and elucidated schematic growth models for the SiF4 based single phase μc-Si:H material.
I carried out studies on the optoelectronic properties of these microstructurally different
films using dark and photo- conductivity as functions of several discerning parameters. The results of these studies led me to expound a novel way of classifying the wide range of materials into three types based on microstructural attributes and correlative optoelectronic properties. My electrical transport
studies have uncovered some new aspects of the carrier conduction routes and mechanisms in the single phase μc-Si:H material. I have proposed the complete effective distributions of density of states (DOS) applicable to this wide microstructural range of μc-Si:H material based on the results of experimental and numerical simulation studies of the phototransport properties of the material.
An R-matrix approach for plasma modelling and the interpretation of astrophys...AstroAtom
This document provides a 3-sentence summary of an expert presentation on plasma modeling and interpretation using an R-matrix approach:
The presentation discussed comprehensive plasma modeling capabilities using R-matrix calculations of electron-impact ionization, excitation, and photoionization of mid-Z elements, which have been parallelized to efficiently utilize modern high performance computing architectures. Scripted R-matrix calculations along iso-nuclear sequences automate the calculation of effective collision strengths. Examples were given of parallel calculations of electron-impact excitation of Fe III and photoionization of Kr II and Xe II using the Dirac Atomic R-matrix Codes that agree well with experimental results.
This document discusses magnetic deflagration and detonation in nanomagnets and manganites. It summarizes previous work on magnetic avalanches in these materials and introduces the concept of quantum magnetic deflagration. Key findings include observing deflagration fronts propagating at resonant magnetic fields and a potential deflagration to detonation transition. The document also discusses using surface acoustic waves and high-frequency EPR to study spin dynamics, as well as observing magnetic deflagration and colossal resistivity changes in manganites.
This document discusses the design of a CMOS sampling switch for ultra-low power analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) used in biomedical applications. It analyzes general switch design constraints such as thermal noise, sampling time jitter, switch-induced error, tracking bandwidth, and voltage droop. Based on the analyses, a leakage-reduced CMOS sampling switch is designed for a 10-bit 1-kS/s successive approximation ADC using a 130nm CMOS process. Post-layout simulation shows the proposed switch offers an effective number of bits of 9.5 while consuming only 64 nW of power, meeting the ADC specification.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Conclusions for electrostatic turbulence simulations
The electrostatic drift wave turbulence itself does not
support either linear or nonlinear mechanism for the
formation of ITB in the reversed shear plasmas with an
integer qmin .
Other external mechanisms, such as sheared flows
generated by MHD activities, are worth pursuing as
possible agents to suppress the electrostatic drift wave
turbulence and form the ITB when qmin crossing an
integer. [Shafer et al., PRL 2009]
Our nonlocal results raise the issue of the validity of
previous local simulations finding the transport reduction
due to the precessional drift reversal of trapped electrons
or the rarefaction of mode rational surfaces.
