Supplementary Figure S1: Antenna enhancement for another antenna-particle pair: Same graph as in Fig.4 of the main text, but for another antenna-nanoparticle pair. The black curve shows the differential pump-probe spectrum of a single nanoparticle with 50 nm in diameter. As predicted this signal is stronger and also red shifted by about ∆λ = 20 nm compared to the single 40 nm nanoparticle shown...

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security initiated the Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) to ensure that emergency situations are effectively communicated to the general public. CMAS uses the existing commercial telecommunications infrastructure to broadcast emergency alert text messages to all mobile users in an area affected by an emergency. One of the limitations of CMAS is that the maxim...

Traditionally, automatic classification and metadata extraction have been performed in isolation, usually on unformatted text. SCORE Enhancement Engine (SEE) is a component of a Semantic Web technology called the Semantic Content Organization and Retrieval Engine (SCORE). SEE takes the next natural steps by supporting heterogeneous content (not only unformatted text), as well as following up au...

The present study was aimed at characterizing the mechanisms by which neurotensin (NT) is acting within the ventral midbrain to induce a psychostimulant-like effect. In a first experiment, we determine which subtype(s) of NT receptors is/are involved in the reward-inducing effect of ventral midbrain microinjection of NT using the conditioned place-preference (CPP) paradigm. In a second study, w...

Word prediction is a technique often used by individuals with disabilities as a means of increasing the rate with which they can enter text into a computer by reducing the number of keystrokes entered per word. A word prediction system typically operates by presenting a list of "best guesses" for the word the user is currently entering. As the user continues to enter letters, the system updates...

The search accuracy achieved in a PDF image-plus-hiddentext (PDF-IT) document depends upon the accuracy of the optical character recognition (OCR) process that produced the searchable hidden text layer. In many cases recognising words in a blurred area of a PDF page image may exceed the capabilities of an OCR engine. This paper describes a project to replace an inadequate hidden textual layer o...

Text data present in images and video contain useful information for automatic annotation, indexing, and structuring of images. Extraction of this information involves detection, localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement, and recognition of the text from a given image. However, variations of text due to differences in size, style, orientation, and alignment, as well as low image contrast ...

Text data present in images contain useful information for automatic explanation, indexing, and structuring of images. Extraction of this information involves detection, localization, tracking, extraction, enhancement, and recognition of the text from a given image. However variations of text due to differences in size, style, orientation, and alignment, as well as low image contrast and comple...

Many supersymmetric models such as the constrained minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model (CMSSM) feature a strip in parameter space where the lightest neutralino [Formula: see text] is identified as the lightest supersymmetric particle, the lighter stop squark [Formula: see text] is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), and the relic [Formula: see text] cold dark...

We investigate the conductance through and the spectrum of ballistic chaotic quantum dots attached to two s-wave superconductors, as a function of the phase difference phi between the two order parameters. A combination of analytical techniques-random matrix theory, Nazarov's circuit theory and the trajectory-based semiclassical theory-allows us to explore the quantum-to-classical crossover in ...
