The Standard Template Library (STL) [13, 14] is a library of generic algorithms and data structures that has been incorporated in the C++ standard [1] and ships with all modern C++ compilers. In the CPH STL project [4] our goal is to implement an enhanced edition of the STL. Initially, our focus was on time and space efficiency of the STL components, but now we are also focusing on safety, reli...

The temporal shape of single photons provides a high-dimensional basis of temporal modes, and can therefore support quantum computing schemes that go beyond the qubit. However, the lack of linear optical components to act as quantum gates has made it challenging to efficiently address specific temporal-mode components from an arbitrary superposition. Recent progress towards realizing such a "qu...

Network traffic between data centers has grown rapidly in recent years. Therefore, an optical modulation format with high spectral efficiency is desired inter-data center links at rates of more than 400 Gb/s each wavelength. In order to further improve the transmission performance single-span links, a nonlinearity-tolerant probabilistically-shaped 4D 9 bits/4D symbol proposed. The proposed fill...

abstract   background: a significant relationship between psychiatric disorders principally depression and anxiety and insomnia is well-known in general population. ahigh percent of insomnia sufferers report anxiety symptoms. anxiety is also frequently seen in medical patients whom complaints of sleep problems are often prominent.   method: 250 outpatients with various medical complaints partic...

the first and second laws of thermodynamics have been employed to evaluate energy and exergetic efficiency of the single effect absorption chiller which is used for air conditioning purpose. the performance analysis has been carried out by developing a computer program in ees and modeling the chiller and its components. to evaluate entropy of the water/lithium bromide solution at any point, an ...

The paper is concerned with one aspect of optimization of microwave thermal processing, namely, with optimization of energy coupling interpreted as a numerical characteristic of system efficiency. Since in computer-aided design coupling can be evaluated through the computed reflections, an optimization scheme is presented that is particularly suitable for minimizing the reflection coefficient i...

Ammonia (NH3) emissions are an economically and environmentally significant loss pathway of fertilizer soil-derived N. Chambers a commonly used method to quantify NH3 in plot-scale agricultural research. Although this is widely used, its accuracy may be influenced by the overall design chamber, components, interaction with environment. Four chamber designs, including open, open + polytetrafluor...
