Photoinduced second-harmonic generation in silica fibers doped with Er(3+), Sm(3+), and Tb(3+) has been investigated. Er(3+)-doped fibers have been found to tune a chi((2)) grating easily to the mode structure of the laser radiation, whereas Sm(3+)-doped fibers have been found to possess the greatest resistance to chi((2)) grating erasure by radiation at 532 nm. From the beginning of the prepar...

This paper presents a new adaptive Sliding-Mode flux observer for speed sensorless and rotor flux control of three-phase induction motor (IM) drives. The motor drive is supplied by a three-level space vector modulation (SVM) inverter. Considering the three-phase IM Equations in a stator stationary two axis reference frame, using the partial feedback linearization control and Sliding-Mode (SM) c...

Sliding-mode (SM) based differentiation is exact on a large class of functions and robust to the presence of input noises. The best-possible differentiator accuracy is for the firsttime calculated. A few differentiators and their discretizations are presented. As an important application of the differentiation technique we propose the first robust exact method for the estimation of the equivale...

This paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic Duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. The novelty of this scheme is that the Linear Quadratic Regulation (LQR) control, Sliding Mode (SM) control and Gaussian Radial basis Function Neural Network (GRBFNN) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...

We report on searches for a standard model (SM) Higgs boson in p(̄p) collisions at a center of mass energy √ s = 1.96 TeV with the CDF and DØ detectors using an integrated luminosity of more than 3.0 fb. For a SM Higgs with mass greater than 135 GeV/c, the dominant decay mode is two W bosons and the searches presented are based upon the subsequent electron and muon decays of the two W bosons. Si...

We study Higgs boson production and decay in a certain class of Little Higgs models with T-parity in which some T-parity partners of the Standard Model (SM) fermions gain their masses through Yukawa-type couplings. We find that the Higgs boson production cross section of a 120 GeV Higgs boson at the CERN LHC via gg fusion process at one-loop level could be reduced by about 45%, 35% and 20%, as ...

Spliceosomal small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are essential components of the nuclear pre-mRNA processing machinery. A hallmark of these particles is a ring-shaped core domain generated by the binding of Sm proteins onto snRNA. PRMT5 and SMN complexes mediate the formation of the core domain in vivo. Here, we have elucidated the mechanism of this reaction by both biochemical and struct...

This document describes best current practices for intra-domain and inter-domain deployment of the Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) in conjunction with Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse Mode (PIM-SM).

We demonstrate a Single-Mode (SM) Large-Mode-Area (LMA) ytterbium-doped PCF rod fiber laser with stable and close to diffraction limited beam quality with 110W output power. Distributed-Mode-Filtering (DMF) elements integrated in the cladding of the rod fiber provide a robust spatial mode with a Mode-Field-Diameter (MFD) of 59μm. We further demonstrate high pulse energy Second-Harmonic-Generati...

This paper summarizes some recent progress and future perspectives in the experimental investigation of the Standard Model (SM) (and physics beyond it) using charged kaon decays, except for the important mode K → πνν which is discussed in detail elsewhere [1].
