We apply the optical nanocircuit concepts to design and analyze in detail a three-dimensional (3D) plasmonic nanotransmission line network that may act as a relatively broadband negative-refraction metamaterial at infrared and optical frequencies. After discussing the heuristic concepts in our theory, we show full-wave analytical results of the expected behavior of such materials, which show in...

Abstract: We study the non-factorizable corrections to W-pair-mediated four-fermion production in e+e− annihilation in double-pole approximation. We show how these corrections can be combined with the known corrections to the production and the decay of on-shell W-boson pairs, and how the full off-shell Coulomb singularity is included. Moreover, we find that the actual form of the real non-fact...

In this paper we study the performance of bufferless optical WDM packet switching networks with various wavelength conversion degrees. We first introduce an optimal scheduling algorithm that maximizes the network throughput in this type of network. We then derive a novel analytical model to evaluate the network performance in terms of packet loss probability under the scheduling algorithm for B...

We consider current shot noise and the full counting statistics in a chain of quantum dots which exhibits a continuous nonequilibrium phase transition as a function of the tunnel couplings of the chain with the electrodes. Using a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we establish that the full counting statistics is conventional away from the phase transition, but becomes, in a well...

Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) supports full-rate and half-rate calls. In this paper, we propose analytical and simulation models to study the performance of four channel assignment schemes for GSM half-rate and full-rate traac. Our study indicates that among the four schemes, the repacking scheme has the best performance for mixing half-rate and full-rate traac. We also observe ...

Extensive damage to houses during severe tropical cyclones in the 1970s in Australia highlighted the need for research-based structural engineering principles to be applied in design and construction of houses. Houses have structural redundancies and complex load paths, so the analysis of even simple houses was complicated. In order to evaluate the structural performance of these parallel syste...
