Abstract We study the effects of combination on observation level (COL) different space-geodetic techniques and networks same technique present corresponding improvement for determination station positions earth orientation parameters. Data from continuous geodetic very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) campaign CONT17 are used in a batch least-squares (LSQ) estimator. This includes 15 days o...

In order to understand cognitive aspects of autonomous robots, it is fruitful to develop a mechanism by which the robot autonomously analyzes physical sensor data and construct a state space. This paper proposes a coherent approach to constructing such a robot oriented state space by statistically analyzing sensor patterns and rewards given as the result of task executions. In the state space c...

A bstract In the holographic framework, we argue that partial entanglement entropy (PEE) can be explicitly interpreted as component flow flux in a locking bit thread configuration. By applying theorem of threads, and constructing concrete scheme, obtain set uniquely determined fluxes from this viewpoint, successfully derive PEE proposal its generalized version multipartite cases. Moreover, pers...

This paper reviews the performance of two time-dependent constitutive models in predictions of one-dimensional consolidation. The Soft-Soil Creep model [1] is an example of an elastic-viscoplastic formulation that incorporates a timedependent state variable to estimate viscoplastic deformation. We show that the SSC model is equivalent to the isotache formulation proposed by Imai [2], as both ar...

In this paper four-wave mixing (FWM) and its impact on multi-span NRZ-modulated wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems are examined. The impact of the inline dispersion compensation map on FWM impairments is crucial. From re-circulating loop experiments as well as our analytical model worst-case conditions for the dispersion map are found. Furthermore, the impact of increasing the numbe...

The excitonic insulator is a long conjectured correlated electron phase of narrow-gap semiconductors and semimetals, driven by weakly screened electron-hole interactions. Having been proposed more than 50 years ago, conclusive experimental evidence for its existence remains elusive. Ta2NiSe5 is a narrow-gap semiconductor with a small one-electron bandgap EG of <50 meV. Below TC=326 K, a putativ...

We have developed electroosmotic pumps (EOPs) fabricated from 15-nm-thick porous nanocrystalline silicon (pnc-Si) membranes. Ultrathin pnc-Si membranes enable high electroosmotic flow per unit voltage. We demonstrate that electroosmosis theory compares well with the observed pnc-Si flow rates. We attribute the high flow rates to high electrical fields present across the 15-nm span of the membra...

The objective of the project is to develop a procedure validation system that is able to simulate the effect of operator actuations. This tool consists of the combination of a plant transient simulation code TRETA, a computerized procedure system COPMA-III, adapted for simulation and a software interface that provides the communication between COPMA-III and TRETA. During the first stage of the ...

Higher education institutions are continuously seeking new and functional technologies to enhance productivity and to effectively reconstruct the curriculums in order to meet the needs and expectations of diverse students. Among them, creating a virtual environment for students to conduct e-Learning is a growing tendency. With recent emphasis on developing English for Occupational Purposes (EOP...
