We periodically modulate the lattice trapping potential of a $^{87}$Sr optical clock to Floquet engineer transition. In context atomic gases in lattices, engineering has been used shape dispersion and topology Bloch quasi-energy bands. Differently from these previous works manipulating external (spatial) quasi-energies, we target internal degrees freedom. spin quasi-energies measure their reson...

In this paper we study the robust stability of uncertain quasipolynomials, whose coef£cients may vary in a certain prescribed range. We consider speci£cally the co-called interval and diamond quasipolynomials, and our goal is to develop vertexand edge type-conditions for these quasipolynomial families to be robustly stable independent of delay. Moreover, we also present a number of extensions t...

Developing L2 learners' intercultural sensitivity and reflective thinking is essential for second language learning. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of photovoice on intercultural sensitivity and reflective thinking. To this end, a sample of 48 intermediate EFL learners was recruited from an English language institute in Isfahan, Iran and placed into a photovoice group (PG) and...

We demonstrate that a highly efficient global optimization of chirped mirrors can be performed with the memetic algorithm. The inherently high sensitivity of chirped-mirror characteristics to manufacturing errors can be reduced significantly by means of the stochastic quasi-gradient algorithm. The applicability of these algorithms is not limited to chirped mirrors.

Recent research studied the problem of publishing microdata without revealing sensitive information, leading to the privacy preserving paradigms of k-anonymity and `-diversity. k-anonymity protects against the identification of an individual’s record. `-diversity, in addition, safeguards against the association of an individual with specific sensitive information. However, existing approaches s...

We study the distributed privacy preserving data collection problem: an untrusted data collector (e.g., a medical research institute) wishes to collect data (e.g., medical records) from a group of respondents (e.g., patients). Each respondent owns a multi-attributed record which contains both non-sensitive (e.g., quasi-identifiers) and sensitive information (e.g., a particular disease), and sub...

In this paper, we study the behavior and sensitivity analysis of the solution set for a new system of parametric generalized nonlinear mixed quasi-variational inclusions with (A, η)-accretive mappings in quniformly smooth Banach spaces. The present results improve and extend many known results in the literature.

We deal with the Ambrosio-Tortorelli approximation of the well-known Mumford-Shah functional to model quasi-static crack propagation in brittle materials. We employ anisotropic mesh adaptation to efficiently capture the crack path. Aim of this work is to investigate the numerical sensitivity of the crack behavior to the parameters involved in both the physical model and in the adaptive procedure.

An existence theorem for a new class of parametric generalized mixed implicit quasi-variational inclusion problems is established in Hilbert spaces. Further, we study the behavior and sensitivity analysis of the solution set in this class of parametric variational inclusion problems.
