Spontaneous emission noise is an important limit to the performance of active plasmonic devices. Here, we investigate the spontaneous emission noise in the long-range surface plasmon-polariton waveguide based optical gyroscope. A theoretical model of the sensitivity is established to study the incoherent multi-beam interference of spontaneous emission in the gyroscope. Numerical results show th...

Cellular Automata offer a spacially and temporally discrete example of spacially-extended dynamical systems. These are, at minimum, two-dimensional arrays of data. Information measures are best-developed for one-dimensional sequences of data, and therefor 1-D sequences must be extracted from cellular automata if such measures are to be applied. Due to the inherent limit on the spacial extent of...

The analysis of distributed generation systems and their influence on the different voltage levels of the power grid involves a detailed modelling of all observed units and the connecting distribution and overlaying transmission networks. In return this generation has increasing effects on the European transmission system, whose entire simulation with the same detailing as single distributed ge...

Mesenchymal stem cells are important cells in tumor microenvironment. We have previously demonstrated that IL-17B/IL-17RB signal promoted progression of gastric cancer. In this study, we further explored the effect of IL-17B on mesenchymal stem cells in tumor microenvironment and its impact on the tumor progression. The results showed that IL-17B induced the expression of stemness-related genes...

A supply chain is a network of suppliers, factories, warehouses, distribution centers and retailers, through which raw materials are acquired, transformed, produced and delivered to the customer. A supply chain management system (SCMS) manages the cooperation of these system components. In the computational world, roles of individual entities in a supply chain can be implemented as distinct age...

The importance of the phase information of speech signal is gathering attention. Many researches indicate system combination of the amplitude and phase features is effective for improving speaker recognition performance under noisy environments. On the other hand, speech enhancement approach is taken usually to reduce the influence of noises. However, this approach only enhances the amplitude s...

Let K be an infinite field and K〈X〉 = K〈X1, ..., Xn〉 the free associative algebra generated by X = {X1, ..., Xn} over K. It is proved that if I is a two-sided ideal of K〈X〉 such that the K-algebra A = K〈X〉/I is almost commutative in the sense of [3], namely, with respect to its standard N-filtration FA, the associated N-graded algebra G(A) is commutative, then I is generated by a finite Gröbner...

INTRODUCTION Cysteine protease are biological catalysts which play a pivotal role in numerous biological reactions in organism. Much of the literature is inscribed to their biochemical significance, distribution and mechanism of action. Many diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease, develop due to enzyme balance disruption. Understanding of cysteine protease's disbalance is therefor a key to unravel ...

Many systems featuring nonlinearities and delay-free loops are of interest in digital audio, particularly in virtual analog and physical modeling applications. Many of these systems can be posed as systems of implicitly related ordinary differential equations. Provided each equation in the network is itself an explicit one, straightforward numerical solvers may be employed to compute the output...

Most real-world business processes involve a combination of both well-defined and previously modelled as well as unforeseen and therefor unmodelled scenarios. The goal of comprehensive process management should be to cover all actually performed processes by accurate models so that they may be fully supported by IT systems. Unmodelled processes can be observed by the Process Observation system ...
