The attendees of the Knowledge Representation and Ontologies for Autonomous Systems Symposium applied their collective intelligence in an attempt to solve one...
We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically the degrading effect of noise from source amplified spontaneous emission on measurements of chromatic dispersion...
Si-based single-electron tunneling (SET) devices have of late become an important alternative to the metal-based ones, both for general usage and in particular...
Since its initial recognition in 1928 and commercialization in 1936, R-22 has been applied in systems ranging from the smallest window air conditioners to the...
