The OLED self luminous display device features high brightness, high contrast, a wide field of vision with a rapid response and is compact as well as light-weight. At the present time the device is implemented in sub-main displays for mobile phones along with other mobile devices, such as portable audio systems, as well as small to medium size displays for automotive components, including car a...

Spatial and temporal variation in soil moisture plays a significant role in establishing efficient irrigation scheduling, climate change prediction, and sustainable land and water management. Passive microwave remote sensing at L-band is widely recognised as the preferred technique to measure surface soil moisture globally, with spatial resolution ranging from 40-100km. However, passive microwa...

This thesis investigates children’s mental representation of syntactic structure and how their acquisition and production of syntax is affected by lexical and semantic factors, focusing on threeand four-year-old children. It focuses on a construction that has been a frequent subject of language acquisition research: the passive. It is often claimed that English-speaking children acquire the pas...

In this paper, the design of an intrinsically passive controller having a Hamiltonian structure plus dissipation will be presented. This controller will be intrinsically passive since his coupling to the plant will be through a power port. It will be shown that this does not in general imply the necessity of measuring the port variables for implementation purposes.

This paper reviews the recent progress on stochastic PDEs arising from different aspects of the turbulence theory including the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation, stochastic Burgers equation and stochastic passive scalar and passive vector equations. Issues discussed include the existence of invariant measures, scaling of the structure functions, asymptotic behavior of the probability density f...

This paper shows that some individuals with Down syndrome are capable of producing, imitating (repeating) and comprehending passive sentences, even though group studies indicate that this is not the norm. Experimental tests of elicited production, repetition and comprehension of passive and active sentences applied in ten adolescents with Down syndrome, speakers of Portuguese, showed that out o...

In this seminar we present the structure, operating regime and use of solid state laser with passive Qswitch. We give a description and comparison of two basic concepts of optical pumping, the lamp pumping and the diode pumping. Finally we present the Q-switch theory and more precisely passive Q-switch theory.
