We introduce a deterministic procedure, named TSUNA for Temperature Shaping Using Nanoparticle Assemblies, aimed at generating arbitrary temperature distributions on the microscale. The strategy consists in (i) using an inversion algorithm to determine the exact heat source density necessary to create a desired temperature distribution and (ii) reproducing experimentally this calculated heat so...

We present an inversion algorithm for nonsingular n × n matrices whose entries are degree d polynomials over a field. The algorithm is deterministic and requires O (̃nd) field operations for a generic input. The “soft Oh” notation O ̃indicates some missing log(nd) factors. The polynomial matrix inverse can thus be computed by a straight-line program whose size is — asymptotically and up to logari...

The fact that faces are strongly affected by picture-plane inversion has often been cited as evidence for face-specific mechanisms. It is unclear, however, whether this “face inversion effect” is restricted to faces or results from general mechanisms that compensate for pictureplane rotations. To address this issue, in Experiment 1 observers learned upright faces and were then tested with faces...

Semiconductor quantum dots in cavities are promising single-photon sources. Here, we present a path to deterministic operation, by harnessing the intrinsic linear dipole neutral dot via phonon-assisted excitation. This enables emission of fully polarized single photons, with measured degree polarization up 0.994 $\pm$ 0.007, and high population inversion -- 85\% as resonant We demonstrate sourc...

in this research we have studied tabriz temperature inversion using radio-sound information, during the 2004-2008 periods in daily, monthly and seasonally scales. produced data associated with temperature inversion daily of the surface (2 meters) to 700 h.pa. several different measures are used, including the height of the base and the height of the top of the inversion, the temperature at the ...

We examine the use of recurrence networks in studying non-linear deterministic dynamical systems. Specifically, we focus on the case of k-nearest neighbour networks, which have already been shown to contain meaningful (and more importantly, easily accessible) information about dynamics. Superfamily phenomena have previously been identified, although a complete explanation for its appearance was...

Reliability function is defined under suitable assumptions for dynamic stressstrength scenarios where strength degrades and stress accumulates over time. Methods for numerical evaluation of reliability are suggested under deterministic strength degradation and cumulative damage due to shocks arriving according to a Poisson process using simulation method and inversion theorem. These methods are...

In this paper, Optical Diffraction Tomography (ODT) is considered as an inverse scattering problem. The goal is to retrieve a map of the electromagnetic parameters of an unknown object from measurements of the scattered electric field that results from its interaction with a known interrogating wave. This is done in a Bayesian estimation framework. A Gauss-Markov-Potts prior appropriately trans...
