Performance study of differential frequency hopping by Avinash Sankar

“…The concepts of singleuser and multi-user efficiency have also been included in the discussion which can be considered as a reasonable means to compare FFI I and OFII systems. For the same bits per symbol and same dwell time, it is shown that the data rate of a single-user DFH is larger than the FFlI data rate. …”

Real-time adaptive estimation of decoherence timescales for a single qubit by Arshad, MJ, Bekker, C, Haylock, B, Skrzypczak, K, White, D, Griffiths, B, Gore, J, Morley, GW, Salter, P, Smith, J, Zohar, I, Finkler, A, Altmann, Y, Gauger, EM, Bonato, C

“…Characterizing the time over which quantum coherence survives is critical for any implementation of quantum bits, memories, and sensors. The usual method for determining a quantum system's decoherence rate involves a suite of experiments probing the entire expected range of this parameter, and extracting the resulting estimation in postprocessing. …”

Dual sampling sigma delta analog to digital converter by Mohd Isa, Maryam, Noor Shah, Mohd Syahril, Hamidon, Mohd Nizar

“…The ADC further includes a clock (106) operating at a conversion clock frequency for producing a clock signal (108), and a decimator (110) for processing the multiple digital signals produced by the sigma delta modulator (102) and generating an output digital signal (150), and the decimator (110) includes multiple decimation elements (112, 114) and a combining element (116) for generating the output digital signal (150) with N-bits. The sigma delta modulator (102) further includes a comparator (118) having a first input (120) for receiving the analog input signal (104), a second input (121) for receiving an analog estimate of the analog input signal (104), and a comparator output (122).…”

The Configuration of “Time” in the Story of “Siavash” by Gholamali Fallah, Leila Sadat Peyghambarzadeh

“…Through eliminating certain pieces of information or revealing them outside of their initial chronological spot, he creates suspense and thereby reduces the readers' speed of comprehension encouraging them to assimilate their previous information with the most recent bits presented. The narrator focuses on the validity of prospective and prior to the initial orientation of the whole story and makes the reader obey himself. …”
