Three experiments measured spatio-temporal contrast sensitivity, coherent motion, and visible persistence in a single group of children with developmental dyslexia and a matched control group. The findings were consistent with a transient channel disorder in the dyslexic group which showed a reduction in contrast sensitivity at low spatial frequencies, a significant reduction in sensitivity for...

Smart devices and their applications led to a rapid evolution of the Internet Things. As result, there is an emerging need on energizing those low-power devices, while at same time achieving information transfer. In this context, simultaneous wireless power transfer (SWIPT) considered as appealing technology, since it can wirelessly remotely such simultaneously with Motivated by this, we herein...

â φα = αφα , with α a complex number (see next page for a discussion of â and â†). Such a state is called a “coherent state”. Coherent states turn out to be the closest quantum analog of classical states with well-defined amplitudes and phases, and are extremely important in e.g. the quantum mechanical description of laser light, radio cavities, Bose-Einstein condensates, and just about everyth...

We present the results of a radio monitoring campaign to search for radio emission from nearby ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs). These sources are bright off-nuclear X-ray point sources with luminosities exceeding LX > 1039 erg/sec. A well-defined sample of the 9 nearest ULXs has been monitored eight times during 5 months with the Very Large Array in A and B configuration. Our limiting sensi...

Coherent dual comb spectroscopy can provide high-resolution, high-accuracy measurements of a sample response in both magnitude and phase. We discuss the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) due to both additive white noise and multiplicative noise, and the corresponding sensitivity limit for trace gas detection. We show that sequential acquisition of the overall spectrum through a tunable fil...

We present results of the simulation of the intensity distribution of radio pulses from the Moon due to interaction of EeV neutrinos with lunar regolith. The radiation mechanism is of coherent Ĉerenkov radiation of the negative charge excess in the shower, known as Askar’yan effect. Several realistic observational setups with ground radio telescopes are considered. Effective detector volume is ...
