Turbulent Flow over a Flexible Wall Undergoing a Streamwise Traveling Wavy Motion by Shen, Lian, Zhang, Xiang, Yue, Dick K.P., Triantafyllou, Michael S.

“…A key parameter for this problem is the ratio of the wall motion phase speed c to U, and results are obtained for c/U in the range of −1.0 to 2.0 at 0.2 intervals. For negative c/U, we find that flow separation is enhanced and a large drag force is produced. …”

Effective dynamics of cold atoms flowing in two ring-shaped optical potentials with tunable tunneling by Aghamalyan, Davit, Amico, Luigi, Kwek, L. C.

“…Through two-mode Gross- Pitaevskii mean-field equations, the real-time dynamics of the population imbalance and the phase difference between the two condensates is thoroughly analyzed analytically, as a function of the relevant physical parameters of the system. In particular, we find that the macroscopic quantum self-trapping phenomenon is induced in the system if the flowing currents assume a nonvanishing difference.…”

Effects of electrode material and configuration on the characteristics of planar resistive switching devices by Cha, Dongkyu, David, A., Li, K., Wu, T., Peng, H. Y., Pu, L., Wu, J. C., Hong, J. H., Lin, W. N., Li, Y. Y., Ding, J. F.

“…Metals with different work functions (Ti and Pt) and their combinations are used to control the junction transport (either ohmic or Schottky-like). We find that the electric bias is effective in manipulating the concentration of oxygen vacancies at the metal/STO interface, influencing the RS characteristics. …”

Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”

Cooperative spectrum sensing in a medium-traffic primary network using double-threshold scheme over imperfect reporting channels by Rabiee, Ramtin, Li, Kwok Hung

“…This situation degrades the detection performance of the secondary network. We first try to find a suitable distribution for observed energy levels by SUs, and then evaluate the detection performance of the both single- and double-threshold methods in terms of the total error probability using cooperative spectrum sensing over imperfect reporting channels. …”

Sources of value gains in minority equity investments by private equity funds : evidence from block share acquisitions by Chen, Guojun, Kang, Jun-Koo, Kim, Jin-Mo, Na, Hyun Seung

“…Using block share acquisitions made by private equity (PE) funds, we examine the sources of value gains in PE minority equity investments. We find that compared with non-PE acquirers, PE acquirers are more likely to place representatives with finance experience or those with experience in the target's industry on the target's board when the need for target oversight and/or advice is higher. …”

Exploiting the underdetermined system in multichannel active noise control for open windows by He, Jianjun, Lam, Bhan, Shi, Dongyuan, Gan, Woon Seng

“…For a single incidence, we compare the conventional fully-coupled (pseudoinverse) multichannel control with the colocated (diagonal) control method and find that they can achieve equivalent performance, but the colocated control method is less computationally intensive. …”

Nontrivial quantum oscillation geometric phase shift in a trivial band by Datta, Biswajit, Adak, Pratap Chandra, Shi, Li-kun, Watanabe, Kenji, Taniguchi, Takashi, Song, Justin Chien Wen, Deshmukh, Mandar M.

“…We observe that Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations of the quadratic band are shifted by a phase that sharply departs from the expected 2π Berry's phase and is inherited from the nontrivial Berry's phase of the linear band. We find this arises due to an unusual filling enforced constraint between the quadratic band and linear band Fermi surfaces. …”
