All-optical nuclear quantum sensing using nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond by B. Bürgler, T. F. Sjolander, O. Brinza, A. Tallaire, J. Achard, P. Maletinsky

“…Our scheme involves the 15N nuclear spin of the Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) center in diamond as a sensing resource, and exploits NV spin dynamics in oblique magnetic fields near the NV’s excited state level anti-crossing to optically pump the nuclear spin into a quantum superposition state. We demonstrate all-optical free-induction decay measurements—the key protocol for low-frequency quantum sensing—both on single spins and spin ensembles. …”

Coverage criteria for UML state chart diagram in model-based testing by Salman, Yasir Dawood, Hashim, Nor Laily, Md Rejab, Mawarny, Romli, Rohaida, Mohd, Haslina

“…This paper reviews previous studies to present the most practical coverage criteria combinations for UML state chart diagram, including all-states, all-transitions, all-transition-pairs and all-loop-free-paths coverage. A special calculation is necessary to determine the coverage percentage of the proposed coverage criteria. …”

Analysis of Dynamic Response Mechanism of Roadway Bolt by Qinjian Zhan, Xigui Zheng, Niaz Muhammad Shahani, Xiao Tan, Tao Li, Jiping Du

“…Furthermore, the anchoring system is found to be composed of three different vibration modes: (1) when ω < (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is an exponential function; (2) when ω = (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is a parabolic function; (3) when ω >  (k1/ρ1A1)1/2, the vibration mode of the anchoring section is a trigonometric function, while all the free sections are trigonometric functions. With an increase of frequency, the amplitude of the bolt exhibits multipeak distribution characteristics and an intermittent amplification phenomenon. …”
