Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enhanced biosensors by Zhang, Jinling

“…For example, binding of molecules in the vicinity of the surface induces the refractive index changes, which causes variations in the extinction spectra, eg. shift in peak position at a particular wavelength and/or line shape. The sensitivity, specificity, selectivity, robustness, portability, speed and costs are the significant evaluation factors of a biosensor. …”

Wideband passive multiport model order reduction and realization of RLCM circuits by Tan, Sheldon X. D., Qi, Zhenyu, Yu, Hao, Liu, Pu, He, Lei

“…Experimental results on an RF spiral inductor and a number of high-speed transmission line circuits are presented. In comparison with other approaches, the proposed reduction is as accurate as passive reduced-order interconnect macromodeling algorithm in the high-frequency domain due to the enhanced multipoint expansion, but leads to smaller realized circuit models. …”

Modeling human-like non-rationality in social agents by Kochanowicz, Jaroslaw Slawomir

“…Conversely, non-rationality is characterized by a) informal or sub-symbolic processing instead of one based on formal representations; b) associative, habitual reactions rather than step by step deduction or optimization; c) lack of explicit goals or their link to decision making. Human species is the only one capable of consistent rationality, but the scale and gravity of human non-rationality are far greater than often suspected. …”
