The fundamental role of group velocity in wakefield propagation, calculation of attenuation, amplitudes, form-factors and loss-factors is demonstrated for single-bunch and multi-bunch train. Waveguide adiabatic tapering and bunch density variatio...

More and more organizations structure their innovation projects around functionally diverse teams. Why are some diverse teams more innovative than others? In my dissertation research, I investigate how cognitive diversity, conflict, and creativity affect the success of functionally-diverse innovation teams. Some research points to the importance of cognitive diversity for stimulating group crea...

This Letter introduces a technique for performing binary adaptive optics, which is carried out by optical components only, without the help of any electronic or optoelectronic device. In this technique, interferogram produced point diffraction interferometer modulates light-driven crystal. The modulated crystal may produce pupil-plane only-phase only-amplitude masks to mitigate phase aberration...
