We address the problem of simulating an arbitrary binary interactive first-order Markovian protocol over a pair of binary symmetric channels with crossover probability ε. We are interested in the achievable rates of reliable simulation, i.e., in characterizing the smallest possible blowup in communications such that a vanishing error probability (in the protocol length) can be attained. Whereas...

This paper presents a new optofluidic method to measure the mutual diffusion coefficient in binary solutions by directly analyzing the diffusion-induced focusing pattern based on a single optical micrograph. The average diffusion coefficient of ethylene glycol (EG) and deionized water binary solution is measured under different mass fractions and flow rates to demonstrate the proposed method. E...

Results of an experimental study of binary recombination of para- and ortho-H(3)(+) ions with electrons are presented. Near-infrared cavity-ring-down absorption spectroscopy was used to probe the lowest rotational states of H(3)(+) ions in the temperature range of 77-200 K in an H(3)(+)-dominated afterglow plasma. By changing the para/ortho abundance ratio, we were able to obtain the binary rec...

5 Abstract We present a new method in order to get variable slip coefficient in binary lattice Boltzmann models to simulate gaseous flows. Boundary layer theory is presented. We study both the singleand multi-fluid BGK-type models as well. The boundary slip and the Knudsen layer are analyzed in detail. Benchmark simulations are carried out in order to compare the analytical derivation with the ...

In this paper, we consider binary response correlated random coefficient (CRC) panel data models which are frequently used in the analysis of treatment effects and demand of products. We focus on the nonparametric identification and estimation of panel data models under unobserved heterogeneity which is captured by random coefficients and when these random coefficients are correlated with regre...

Pairwise similarity coefficients are downward biased when samples only record presences and sampling is partial. A simple but forgotten index proposed by Stephen Forbes in 1907 can help solve this problem. His original equation requires knowing the number of species absent in both samples that could have been present. It is proposed that this count should simply be ignored and that the coeffici...

The atomic mechanisms of diffusion in alloys are complex due to the variations of migration energies with environment and the correlations induced by short-range order between the different components. We present a first-principles approach for calculating vacancy-mediated diffusion coefficients in crystalline binary alloys and apply it to obtain the interdiffusion coefficient of Al(1-x)Lix. Th...
