It is noted that the results of recent experiments on the enhancement of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation below surface waves can be stated as follows. TKE dissipation is enhanced by a factor 15Hws/z at depths 0.5Hws < z < 20Hws with respect to the wall-layer result ǫ = u ∗w/κz, where u∗w is the friction velocity in water and Hws is the significant windsea wave height. For open ocean ...

In this work, we present optimal control calculations in a dissipative environment. To this end, the auxiliary density matrix method describing the dissipative quantum dynamics is combined with optimal control theory. The resulting approach, which is nonperturbative in the laser-system interaction, is applied to model the control of Cope's isomerization of the methyl-cyclopentadienylcarboxylate...

With the increasing clock rate and transistor count of today’s microprocessors, power dissipation is becoming a critical component of system design complexity. Thermal and power-delivery issues are becoming especially critical for high-performance computing systems. In this work, we investigate dynamic thermal management as a technique to control CPU power dissipation. With the increasing usage...

This paper introduces a peculiar approach of designing Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) memory cell in Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) technique. The proposed design consists of one 3-input MG, one 5-input MG in addition to a (2×1) Multiplexer block utilizing the loop-based approach. The simulation results reveals the excellence of the proposed design. The proposed SRAM cell achieves 16% ...

Excessive switching activity during scan testing can cause average power dissipation and peak power during test to be much higher than during normal operation. This can cause problems both with heat dissipation and with current spikes. Compacting scan vectors greatly increases the power dissipation for the vectors (generally the power becomes several times greater). The compacted scan vectors o...

The impact of repeated carbendazim (CARB) applications on the extent of CARB dissipation, the microbial diversity, the community level physiological profile (CLPP), and the enzymatic activity within the biomixture of an on-farm biopurification system was evaluated. After three successive CARB applications, the CARB dissipation efficiency was high; the efficiency of dissipation was 87%, 94% and ...

Coherent control of quantum dynamics is a powerful tool to drive a system towards desired states and to optimize properties of the dynamics. Mature numerical methods exist for the control of non-dissipative dynamics [1– 5]. Similar approaches to open quantum systems are urgently needed and evolving rapidly [6–8]. However, particular care is needed in this case, for which commonly used equations...

This paper investigates the problem of non-fragile observer-based passive control for descriptor systems with time-delay. The perturbations in both the control gain and observer gain of the observer-based controller are considered. For the cases of the additive perturbations and multiplicative perturbations, sufficient conditions are given such that the closed-loop systems are admissible and pa...
