A high-resolution oxygen-isotope record from a thorium-uranium-dated stalagmite from southern Oman reflects variations in the amount of monsoon precipitation for the periods from 10.3 to 2.7 and 1.4 to 0.4 thousand years before the present (ky B.P.). Between 10.3 and 8 ky B.P., decadal to centennial variations in monsoon precipitation are in phase with temperature fluctuations recorded in Green...

Epitaxially grown, 2.4-microm-thin layers of KY(WO(4))(2):Gd(3+), Lu(3+), Yb(3+), which exhibit a high refractive index contrast with respect to the undoped KY(WO(4))(2) substrate, have been microstructured by Ar beam milling, providing 1.4-microm-deep ridge channel waveguides of 2 to 7 microm width, and overgrown by an undoped KY(WO(4))(2) layer. Channel waveguide laser operation was achieved ...

In this paper an efficient high step-up converter with a coupled- inductor with soft- switching operation is presented. The proposed topology includes a coupled-inductor boost converter for raising the voltage gain. Moreover, a simple auxiliary resonant circuit composed of an auxiliary switch, a clamping diode and a resonant tank (inductor, capacitor), is adopted in this paper. The coupled-indu...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the weighted KyFan inequality proposed in [11]. A number of numerical simulations involving the exponential weighted function is given. We show that in several cases and types of examples one can imply an improvement of the standard KyFan inequality.
