Monte Carlo Simulation of Cylinders with Short-Range Attractions

September 12, 2018
Author(s)
Harold W. Hatch, Nathan Mahynski, R. P. Murphy, Marco Blanco, Vincent K. Shen
Cylindrical or rod-like particles are promising materials for the applications of fillers in nanocomposite ma- terials and additives to control rheological properties of colloidal suspensions. Recent advances in particle synthesis allows for cylinders to

Polarization of Light Scattered by Particles on Silicon Wafers

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Li Piin Sung, George W. Mulholland, Thomas Germer
Bidirectional ellipsometry has been developed as a technique for distinguishing among various scattering features near surfaces.Employi Employing incident light with fixed polarization, the technique measures the principal angle of polarization and the

An efficient curve evolution algorithm for multiphase image segmentation

January 7, 2015
Author(s)
Gunay Dogan
We propose a novel iterative algorithm for segmentation of multiphase images by curve evolution. Specifically, we address a multiphase version of the Chan-Vese piecewise constant segmentation energy. Our algorithm is efficient: it is based on an explicit

Analytical Tools for Point Source Interferometry

Fractional Quantum Hall States of Rydberg Polaritons

March 31, 2015
Author(s)
Mohammad F. Maghrebi, Norman Y. Yao, Mohammad Hafezi, Thomas Pohl, Ofer Firstenberg, Alexey Gorshkov
… An array of optical modes overlapping with the atomic cloud allows for the creation of an array of these effective …

A proposed global atmospheric monitoring networkbased on standard stars

November 2, 2009
Author(s)
Gerald T. Fraser, Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, John T. McGraw, Allan W. Smith, John T. Woodward IV, Peter C. Zimmer, Christopher W. Stubbs
… would allow, for instance, quantification of aerosol, cloud, water-vapor, and ozone levels over the full range of …

On The Reversion of an Asymptotic Expansion and the Zeros of the Airy Functions

January 15, 1999
Author(s)
Bruce R. Fabijonas, Frank W. Olver
The general theories of the derivation of inverses of functions from their power series and asymptotic expansions are discussed and compared. The asymptotic theory is applied to obtain asymptotic expansions of the zeros of the Airy functions and their

Modeling Spatial Reasoning Systems With Shape Algebras and Formal Logic

June 1, 1996
Author(s)
Scott Chase
The combination of the paradigms of shape algebras and predicate logic representations,used in a new method for describing designs, is presented. First order predicate logicprovides a natural, intuitive way of representing shapes and spatial relations

Energy Balance in a Large Compartment Fire. (POSTER ABSTRACTS)

September 18, 2005
Author(s)
Anthony P. Hamins, Erik L. Johnsson, Michelle K. Donnelly
The experiments described here were part of an international collaborative project to assess and validate fire computer codes for nuclear power plant applications. Understanding the distribution of energy released by a fire is important for testing the

Realization of quantum error correction

December 2, 2004
Author(s)
J Chiaverini, Dietrich G. Leibfried, Tobias Schaetz, Murray D. Barrett, Brad R. Blakestad, Joseph W. Britton, Wayne M. Itano, John D. Jost, Emanuel H. Knill, C. Langer, R Ozeri, David J. Wineland
Scalable quantum computation and communication require error control to protect quantum information against unavoidable noise. Quantum error correction protects quantum information stored in two-level quantum systems (qubits) by rectifying errors with
