In this article, we present coherent control of above-threshold photoemission from a tungsten nanotip achieving nearly perfect modulation. Depending on the pulse delay between fundamental ([Formula: see text]) and second harmonic ([Formula: see text]) pulses of a femtosecond fiber laser at the nanotip, electron emission is significantly enhanced or depressed during temporal overlap. Electron em...

SPIRAL is a generator of optimized, platform-adapted libraries for digital signal processing algorithms. SPIRAL’s strategy translates the implementation task into a search in an expanded space of alternatives. These result from the many degrees of freedom in the DSP algorithm itself and in the various coding choices. This paper describes the framework to represent and generate efficiently these...

This paper studies the failure mechanisms and the reliability of the chip-metallization of a new power module using a copper clip soldered on the top side of the chip, instead of aluminum wire bonds. Both power cycling tests and thermo-mechanical Finite Elements simulations are performed. This study takes advantages of the numerical simulations to analyze in details plastic strains and crack gr...

The goal of the current study was to explore the potential benefits of Acitretin (Act) nanovesicular gel as a prospective antipsoriatic topical delivery system counteracting the drug challenges in terms of its extremely low aqueous solubility, instability, skin irritation, and serious systemic adverse effects. Act-loaded niosomes were successfully developed, entirely characterized, and optimize...

MUltlog is a system which takes as input the specification of a finitely-valued first-order logic and produces a sequent calculus, a natural deduction system, and a calculus for transforming a many-valued formula to clauses suitable for many-valued resolution. All generated rules are optimized regarding their branching degree. The output is in the form of a scientific paper, written in LTEX.

Establishing the neighbor list to efficiently calculate the inter-atomic forces consumes the majority of computation time in molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Several algorithms have been proposed to improve the computation efficiency for short-range interaction in recent years, although an optimized numerical algorithm has not been provided. Based on a rigorous definition of Verlet radius wi...

Grifola frondosa is an economically important edible and medicinal mushroom usually produced on substrate consisting of sawdust supplemented with wheat bran. Cultivation of G. frondosa on crop straw (corn cob, corn straw, rice straw, and soybean straw) as a substrate was optimized by using the D-optimum method of the simplex-lattice design, and the alternative of crop straw as a substitute for ...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the prediction accuracy of postoperative refractions using partial coherence interferometry (IOL-Master) and applanation ultrasound (AL-3000) assisted with corneal topography (TMS-4) in eyes that had undergone myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). METHODS Haigis-L formula, Koch-Maloney method using Haigis formula, Shammas clinically deri...
