Quantum metrology can achieve far better precision than classical metrology, and is one of the most important applications quantum technologies in real world. To attain highest promised by all steps schemes need to be optimized, which include state preparation, parametrization, measurement. Here recent progresses on optimization these steps, are essential for identification achievement ultimate...

In themining optimisation literature, most researchers focused on two strategic-level and tactical-level openpit mine optimisation problems, which are respectively termed ultimate pit limit (UPIT) or constrained pit limit (CPIT). However, many researchers indicate that the substantial numbers of variables and constraints in realworld instances (e.g., with 50–1000 thousand blocks) make the CPIT’...

The ultimate capacity of support structures is checked with extreme loads. This is straightforward when the limit state equations depend on a single load component, and it has become common to report maxima for each load component. However, if more than one load component is influential, e.g., both axial force and bending moments, it is not straightforward how to define an extreme load. The com...

Measurements of the Nusselt number Nu and of a Reynolds number Re(eff) for Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RBC) over the Rayleigh-number range 10(12)≲Ra≲10(15) and for Prandtl numbers Pr near 0.8 are presented. The aspect ratio Γ≡D/L of a cylindrical sample was 0.50. For Ra≲10(13) the data yielded Nu∝Ra(γ(eff)) with γ(eff)≃0.31 and Re(eff)∝Ra(ζ(eff)) with ζ(eff)≃0.43, consistent with classical turb...

Abstract. A limit analysis numerical procedure for the determination of a lower bound on ultimate load human proximal femur is presented. The procedure, already applied by authors in different contexts, based simplified 3D geometrical model and assumption few geometric material data available relevant literature. perfectly plastic behaviour bone, due to phenomena starting at molecular scale, or...

Solid-state cavity quantum electrodynamics is a rapidly advancing field, which explores the frontiers of light-matter coupling. Metal-based approaches are of particular interest in this field, as they carry the potential to squeeze optical modes to spaces significantly below the diffraction limit. Transition metal dichalcogenides are ideally suited as the active material in cavity quantum elect...

In this paper, it is shown that by exploiting the explicit parametric state feedback solution, it is feasible to obtain the ultimate solution to minimum sensitivity problem. A numerical algorithm for construction of a robust state feedback in eigenvalue assignment problem for a controllable linear system is presented. By using a generalized parametric vector companion form, the problem of eigen...
