Great strides have been made in the optical interconnect for a mode-division multiplexing (MDM) system. The mode multiplexer/demultiplexer (MUX/DEMUX) is the crucial component for the MDM system. We propose and demonstrate a scheme that is different from the reported multiplexing schemes, mode MUX that tackles dual-path MDM signals simultaneously and avoids mode conflict. The performance is exp...

We introduce highly compact resonant-cavity-enhanced magneto-optical switches for metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) plasmonic waveguides. The field profile of the fundamental mode of a MDM waveguide in which the metal is subject to an externally applied static magnetic field is asymmetric. The static magnetic field induced asymmetry, which enhances or reduces the coupling between the waveguide and a...

Which children go on to develop dyslexia? Since dyslexia has a multifactorial etiology, this question can be restated as: what are the factors that put children at high risk for developing dyslexia? It is argued that a useful theoretical framework to address this question is Pennington's (2006) multiple deficit model (MDM). This model replaces models that attribute dyslexia to a single underlyi...

Mononuclear phagocytes (MP) and T lymphocytes play a pivotal role in the host immune response to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. Regulation of such immune responses can be mediated, in part, through the interaction of the T-lymphocyte-expressed molecule CD40 ligand (CD40L) with its receptor on MP, CD40. Upregulation of CD40L on CD4+ peripheral blood mononuclear cells duri...

The purpose of this manuscript is to develop a novel MAIRCA (Multi-Attribute Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis) method solve the MCDM (Multiple Criteria Decision-Making) problems with completely unknown weights in q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) setting. Firstly, new concepts q-ROF Lance distance are defined and some related properties discussed paper, from which we establish maximizing deviation ...

Im Zuge stetig steigender Komplexität in Business-IntelligenceSystemen nimmt auch die Bedeutung des Metadatenmanagements (MDM) kontinuierlich zu. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Status Quo des MDM in der Business Intelligence (BI) aus Sicht der drei BI-Stakeholder-Typen Endanwender, Entwickler und Entscheider. Die Ergebnisse veranschaulichen, in welchen Anwendungsgebieten des MDM derzeit ...

The Cisco ISE can be configured to integrate with third-party Mobile Device Manager (MDM) products through an XML-based API. This allows network policy decisions based on mobile device posture that can include PIN lock, storage encryption, or registration status. In this release, both Apple and Android devices are supported. Configuring the infrastructure to support this functionality involves ...

The possibility that the magnetic dipole moment (MDM) of light charged vector mesons could be measured from radiative processes involving the production (τ → ρνγ) and decay (ρ → ππγ) of vector mesons is studied in a model independent way, via the soft-photon approximation. The angular and energy distribution of photons emitted at small angles respect to the final charged particle is found be se...

Master data management (MDM) provides a means to link data from various structured data sources and to generate a consolidated master record for entities such as customers or products. However, a large amount of valuable information about entities exists as unstructured content in documents. In this paper, we show how MDM can be made aware of information from unstructured content by automatical...
