We demonstrate a zero-crossing Shapiro step generated in a magnetically-coupled Josephson gate, where a long Josephson junction and a control line are placed in-line. The operation is based on the imbalanced evolution of the junction phases owing to the different amplitudes of the positive and negative critical current. A test circuit was fabricated using a Nb/AlOx/Nb junction technology. When ...

I present high-frequency polarimetric radio observations of the radio galaxy 3C 171, in which depolarization is associated with an extended emission-line region. The radio hotspots, known to be depolarized at low radio frequencies, become significantly polarized above (observer’sframe) frequencies of 15 GHz. There is some evidence that some of the Faraday rotation structure associated with the ...

A scheme is proposed to exchange the transverse and longitudinal emittances of an electron bunch. A general analysis is presented and a specific beamline is used as an example where the emittance exchange is achieved by placing a transverse deflecting mode radio-frequency cavity in a magnetic chicane. In addition to reducing the transverse emittance, the bunch length is also simultaneously comp...

We study the possibility of designing solar radiation management schemes to achieve a desired meridional radiative forcing (RF) profile using a two-dimensional chemistry-transport-aerosol model. Varying SO2 or H2SO4 injection latitude, altitude, and season, we compute RF response functions for a broad range of possible injection schemes, finding that linear combinations of these injection cases...

In space missions, during the long isolation at extreme conditions for human health, it is of paramount importance to monitor vital parameters. One such parameter is the breathing rate. Indeed, several factors can induce some breathing anomalies during the sleep, which may cause apnea episodes. In order to act timely with the right therapy, an early diagnosis is required. Conventional devices a...

Paper presents a method to measure the dynamic parameters of viscoelastic material bar by the longitudinal vibration testing in a wide frequency range. In the measurement, one end of the bar is driven by a transducer using a pulse wave and the other end is allowed to move freely. The vibration velocity of the free end of the bar is measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The dynamic parameters ...

The existence of a local (in time) solution of (1.1) has been established by Ginibre and Velo [4], Kato [5], and others. For positive constant q, (1.1) may be considered as a model equation for the propagation of an intense laser beam through a medium with Kerr nonlinearity. The square of the transverse width of the incoming laser beam is proportional to q. Extensive investigations on the forma...

High-quality single crystal diamond has been used to demonstrate the RF performance of hydrogenterminated diamond field effect transistors of varying gate lengths; this includes the first data on a sub100nm diamond transistor. The RF performance for 220nm, 120nm and 50nm gate length transistors was extracted and a cut-off frequency of 55 GHz was measured for the 50nm device. This is the highest...

Spin echo imaging is often called the workhorse of MRI as it is frequently a large part of many clinical protocols. By definition, the “spin echo” is the occurrence of transverse magnetization that has been re-phased by a refocusing RF pulse. Note that transverse magnetization exists following an excitation RF pulse that tips the magnetization from the equilibrium, longitudinal direction into t...
