Coherent superposition of current flows in an atomtronic quantum interference device by Aghamalyan, Davit, Cominotti, Marco, Rizzi, Matteo, Rossini, Davide, Hekking, Frank, Minguzzi, Anna, Kwek, Leong-Chuan, Amico, Luigi

“…We consider a correlated Bose gas tightly confined into a ring shaped lattice, in the presence of an artificial gauge potential inducing a persistent current through it. A weak link painted on the ring acts as a source of coherent back-scattering for the propagating gas, interfering with the forward scattered current. …”

Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers : characterization and applications in reshaping and manufacturing by Wang, Tao Xi, Chen, Hong Mei, Salvekar, Abhijit Vijay, Lim, Junyi, Chen, Yahui, Xiao, Rui, Huang, Wei Min

“…Vitrimer, which is between thermoset and thermo-plastic, is featured by the reversible cross-linking. Vitrimer-like shape memory polymers (SMPs) combine the vitrimer-like behavior (associated with dissociative covalent adaptable networks) and SME, and can be utilized to achieve many novel functions that are difficult to be realized by conventional polymers. …”

Integration of array antennas in chip package for 60-GHz radios by Liu, Duixian., Zhang, Y. P.

“…Then, we examine switched-beam array antennas using the Rotman lens or Butter matrix, illustrating that they allow scanning only in one plane and some miss a link even in the boresight direction. Nevertheless, a switched-beam array antenna uses a conceptually simple switch circuit to select the best signal path and may be a cost-effective approach to implementing steerable antennas in the 60-GHz band. …”

Nonlinear channel equalization for wireless communication systems using Legendre neural networks by Patra, Jagdish Chandra, Meher, Pramod Kumar, Chakraborty, Goutam

“…In this paper, we present a computationally efficient neural network (NN) for equalization of nonlinear communication channels with 4-QAM signal constellation. The functional link NN (FLANN) for nonlinear channel equalization which we had proposed earlier, offers faster mean square error (MSE) convergence and better bit error rate (BER) performance compared to multilayer perceptron (MLP). …”

Urban local authorities and the delivery of micromobility strategies obstacles in the implementation of bicycle hire in the UK by Dudley, G, Banister, D, Schwanen, T

“…The dynamics of the delivery of micromobility can therefore offer strong challenges to urban local authorities in constructing stable networks, mobilizing public support for their actions, and in linking in with other transport services. The two case studies selected here cover the development of bicycle hire in the UK, with particular reference to dockless bicycle hire. …”

X-Ray Computed Tomography Study of the Microstructure of Superconducting MgB 2 Bulks by Wang, Y, Grovenor, C, Speller, S, Shollock, B, Mousavi, T
