This study introduces an innovative integration of hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) and photonic crystals (PtCs), each possessing unique dispersion properties that effectively manipulate the propagation light. We present a PtC waveguide consisting arrays HMM nanorods, denoted as PtCs. configuration enables realization high figure merit (FOM) nano-sensor. HMMs PtCs share same underlying physics. ...

We investigate both theoretically and numerically the consistency between nonlinear discretization in full order models (FOMs) reduced (ROMs) for incompressible flows. To this end, we consider two cases: (i) FOM-ROM consistency, i.e., when use same nonlinearity FOM ROM; (ii) inconsistency, different discretizations ROM. Analytically, prove that while yields optimal error bounds, inconsistency a...

Best-rst probabilistic chart parsing attempts to parse eeciently by working on edges that are judged \best" by some probabilistic gure of merit (FOM). Recent work has used probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs) to assign probabilities to constituents, and to use these probabilities as the starting point for the FOM. This paper extends this approach to using a probabilistic FOM to judge edg...

George Mason University has developed the Selectively Reliable Multicast Protocol (SRMP) with support from the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office. SRMP allows reduced network traffic in distributed virtual simulation by sending rarely changing data reliably, frequently changing data best-effort, and exploiting the synergism between the two to provide for reliable delivery. We have integrate...

At FOM Rijnhuizen, linear plasma generators are used to investigate plasma-material interactions under high-density (610 m!3), low-temperature (65 eV) plasma bombardment. Research into carbon-based materials has been focused on chemical erosion by hydrogen plasmas. Results from plasma exposure to high-flux (>10 H/m s) and low-temperature hydrogen plasma indicate silicon carbide has a lower rela...

A nanoscale plasmonic temperature sensor via a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure is proposed in this paper, and the waveguide composed of coin-like resonator. The finite element method (FEM) used to study structure’s transmission characteristics electromagnetic field distributions. calculated maximum sensitivity about 0.38 nm/°C, figure (FOM) merit can be as high 30,158, higher than most pu...

In this contribution, a novel Reduced Order Model (ROM) formulation of the grey-box model proposed in Elkhashap et al. (2020a) for pharmaceutical continuous vibrated fluid bed dryer (VFBD) is presented. The ROM exploits H2-norm projection-based order reduction method after special solution model's infinite-dimensional part. This mainly by introducing vector field mapping between parts casting s...

We present an AC-coupled modular 16-channel analog frontend with 1.774 fJ/c-s?mm2 energy- and area-product for a multichannel recording of broadband neural signals including local field potentials (LFPs) extracellular action (EAPs). To achieve such small area- energy-product, we employed operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) positive feedback, instead widely-used folded cascode OTA (FC-O...

We explore synergies between the space-based Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) and ground-based Rubin Observatory Legacy of Space Time (LSST). In particular, we consider a scenario where currently envisioned survey strategy for WFIRST's High Latitude (HLS), i.e., 2000 square degrees in four narrow photometric bands is altered favor that combines rapid coverage LSST area (to full dep...
