Phase change material (PCM) based heat sink has the potential to be applied for thermal management of electronic devices. Whereas, PCM suffers from a low conductivity, which results in local overheating at base sink. To enhance performance sink, structured porous (SPM) used as conductivity enhancer (TCE) is designed and fabricated, where 3D printing technique adopted achieve fast precise manufa...

We report about a new type of nonlinear photonic crystal fibers allowing broadband four-wave mixing and supercontinuum generation. The microstructured optical fiber has a structured core consisting of a rod of highly nonlinear glass material inserted in a silica tube. This particular structure enables four wave mixing processes with very large frequency detuning (>135 THz), which permitted the ...

We consider a branching process with Poissonian immigration where individuals have inheritable types. At rate θ, new individuals singly enter the total population and start a new population which evolves like a supercritical, homogeneous, binary Crump-Mode-Jagers process: individuals have i.i.d. lifetimes durations (non necessarily exponential) during which they give birth independently at cons...

Many adaptive tracking-by-detection methods have been proposed to track object with slowly changing appearance. However, most of those methods are designed for single object tracking. This paper proposes a method for adaptively tracking multiple objects based on a modified structured Support Vector Machine (SVM). The method utilizes the inter-object constraints and the layout information, which...

Metamaterials are artificially structured media that exibit properties beyond those usually encountered in nature. Typically they are developed for electromagnetic waves at millimetric down to nanometric scales, or for acoustics, at centimeter scales. By applying ideas from transformation optics we can steer Rayleigh-surface waves that are solutions of the vector Navier equations of elastodynam...

evaluation of the psychiatry residency graduates knowledge and competencies has traditionally relied on the individual patient assessment (ipa) method (1,2). however, this method is unreliable and its outcome depends to a large extent on the luck of the draw (3-5). past research has shown that objective structured clinical examination (osce) method has many advantages over ipa (6-9). as a resul...
