We present a detailed analysis of the influence of the group velocity (GV) on the dynamics of optical pulses upon their propagation in one-dimensional photonic crystal waveguides (PhCW). The theoretical model used in our analysis incorporates the linear optical properties of the PhCW (GV dispersion and optical losses), free-carrier (FC) effects (FC dispersion and FC-induced optical losses) and ...

The cosmic-ray proton and helium spectra from 0.2 GeV nucleon~1 to about 200 GeV nucleon~1 have been measured with the balloon-borne experiment Isotope Matter-Antimatter Experiment (IMAX) launched from Lynn Lake, Manitoba, Canada, in 1992. IMAX was designed to search for antiprotons and light isotopes using a superconducting magnet spectrometer together with scintillators, a time-ofÑight system...

In a previous work, succinylated sugarcane bagasse (SCB 2) was prepared from sugarcane bagasse (B) using succinic anhydride as modifying agent. In this work the adsorption of cationic dyes onto SCB 2 from aqueous solutions was investigated. Methylene blue, MB, and gentian violet, GV, were selected as adsorbates. The capacity of SCB 2 to adsorb MB and GV from aqueous single dye solutions was eva...

Session types have recently been integrated with functional languages, bringing message-passing concurrency to programming. Channel endpoints then become first-class and can be stored in data structures, captured closures, sent along channels. Representatives of the GV (Wadler's "Good Variation") session type family are particular appeal because they not only assert fidelity but also deadlock f...

Gastric varices (GV) are responsible for 10-30% of all variceal hemorrhage. However, they tend to bleed more severely with higher mortality. Around 35-90% rebleed after spontaneous hemostasis. Approximately 50% of patients with cirrhosis of liver harbor gastroesophageal varices. In this review, new treatment modalities in the form of endoscopic treatment options and interventional radiological ...

In this paper, we give a generalization of mathematical definition Gopakumar–Vafa (GV) invariants on Calabi–Yau 3-folds introduced by Maulik and the author, using an analogue BPS sheaves Davison–Meinhardt coarse moduli spaces one dimensional twisted semistable with arbitrary holomorphic Euler characteristics. We show that our generalized GV are independent stability conditions, conjecture they ...

There are a wide variety of scientific contribution rating indices including the impact factor and h-index. These are used for quantitative analyses on research papers published in the past, and therefore unable to incorporate in the assessment the growth, or deterioration, of the research area: whether the research area of a particular paper is in decline or conversely in a growing trend. Othe...
