The Tibetan Plateau holds clues to understanding the dynamics and mechanisms associated with continental growth. Part of the region is characterized by zones of ophiolitic mélange believed to represent the remnants of ancient oceanic crust and underlying upper mantle emplaced during oceanic closures. However, due to the remoteness of the region and the inhospitable terrain many areas have not r...

We have developed a 350μm radiometer to perform automated site testing in remote regions of Antarctica. In summer 2000–2001 the instrument operated at Concordia, a new station under construction at Dome C on the Antarctic Plateau. We present the results, and compare them with the atmospheric opacity measured at the South Pole in the same five-week period. During these five weeks, observing cond...

sati is a sanskrit word which means chaste and continent. it also refers to a tradition and the ceremony in which a widow burns herself because of her husband’s death. the history of this indian tradition refers back to 1000 to 500 years b.c. and was prohibited in 1828. persian poets, particularly those who were living in india, have benefited this hindu tradition in their poetry and created de...

A matrix $Pintextmd{C}^{ntimes n}$ is called a generalized reflection matrix if $P^{H}=P$ and $P^{2}=I$‎. ‎An $ntimes n$‎ ‎complex matrix $A$ is said to be a reflexive (anti-reflexive) matrix with respect to the generalized reflection matrix $P$ if $A=PAP$ ($A=-PAP$)‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we introduce two iterative methods for solving the pair of matrix equations $AXB=C$ and $DXE=F$ over reflexiv...

In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...
