We present a simple and automatic method for determining the uncertainty in the retrieved intensity and phase versus time (and frequency) due to noise in a frequency-resolved optical-gating trace, independent of noise source. It uses the ‘‘bootstrap’’ statistical method and also yields an automated method for phase blanking (omitting the phase when the intensity is too low to determine it). © 2...

In recent years there has been a growing interest in using stochastic time-dependent (STD) networks as a modelling tool for a number of applications within such areas as transportation and telecommunications. It is known that an optimal routing policy does not necessarily correspond to a path, but rather to a time-adaptive strategy. In some applications, however, it makes good sense to require ...

To introduce the advance in the researches on boiling and two-phase ‰ow in reduced gravity ˆelds and the change in the situation surrounding them in Japan, a short review is focused on the individual research subjects, i.e., pool boiling, ‰ow boiling, and unheated two-phase ‰ow including their major topics. Representative results obtained so far are introduced. Future direction of researches on...

We study voting games on possibly interconnected issues, where voters might hold a principled opinion about a subset of the issues at stake while willing to strike deals on the remaining ones, and can influence one another before casting their ballots in order to obtain an individually more favourable outcome. We analyse voters’ rational behaviour in a two-phase game, allowing players to underg...

This paper is concerned with an inverse problem involving a two-phase moving boundary in two dimensional solidification of pure substance. Using a unique continuation result due to Saut and Schcurer we prove a uniqueness result. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper we extend to three-phase flow the nonequilibrium formalism proposed by Barenblatt and co-workers for two-phase porous media flow. The underlying idea is to include nonequilibrium effects by introducing a pair of effective water and gas saturations, which are linked to the actual saturations by a local evolution equation. We illustrate and analyze how nonequilibrium effects lead to...
