Lasers are often used to characterize samples in a non-destructive manner and retrieve sensing information transduced changes amplitude phase. In swept wavelength interferometry, wavelength-tunable laser is measure the complex response (i.e. phase) of an optical sample. This technique leverages continuous advances rapidly tunable lasers widely for sensing, bioimaging testing photonic integrated...

Robert J. Barro’s article, “Inflation and Growth,” presents the results of regressions of per capita output growth on inflation across countries and over time. He finds that there is a statistically significant negative slope coefficient estimate in these regressions; the estimate usually lies between 0.02 and 0.04. As far as I can tell, Barro wants to interpret these results as follows. Suppos...

By a theorem of Mclean, the deformation space of an associative submanifold Y of an integrable G2-manifold (M,φ) can be identified with the kernel of a Dirac operator D/ : Ω(ν) → Ω(ν) on the normal bundle ν of Y . Here, we generalize this to the non-integrable case, and also show that the deformation space becomes smooth after perturbing it by natural parameters, which corresponds to moving Y t...

Introduction: In radiation therapy, knowing the dose rates to healthy organs and tumors is beneficial, and thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) allows for this possibility. This study was aimed at determining the dose-response differences of TLDs in various types of radiation, energy levels, and dose rate calibrated with other types of radiation beams and energy and dose levels. Materials and Meth...

using the mean-value theorem for integrals we tried to solved the nonlinear integral equations of hammerstein type . the mean approach is to obtain an initial guess with unknown coefficients for unknown function y(x). the procedure of this method is so fast and don't need high cpu and complicated programming. the advantages of this method are that we can applied for those integral equation...

Then, the limit points of the sequence of plays are correlated equilibria. In fact, for each correlated equilibrium there is some calibrated learning rule that the players can use which results in their playing this correlated equilibrium in the limit. Thus, the statistical concept of a calibration is strongly related to the game theoretic concept of correlated equilibrium. Journal of Economic ...

In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties. Moreover, they exist in abundance whereas the corresponding pluriharmonics are generally quite scarce. A number of the results established in complex analysis ...

Abstract The Penman-Monteith equation is recommended for the estimation of reference evapotranspiration (ETo). However, it requires meteorological data that are commonly unavailable. Thus, this study evaluates artificial neural network (ANN), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), and original calibrated Hargreaves-Samani (HS) temperature (PMT) equations daily ETo using temperature.
