Nonlinear effects in steady radiating waves: An exponential asymptotics approach by Kataoka, Takeshi, Akylas, T.R.

“…For this class of forcing profiles, the wave response hinges on beyond-all-orders asymptotics only if α > −1, and nonlinear effects differ fundamentally depending on whether α > 0, α = 0 or −1 < α < 0. Furthermore, the sign of the forcing amplitude parameter A is an important controlling factor of the nonlinear wave response. …”

Orientational beamforming via a modified RBF neural network for orientational UWB interference rejection by Han, Jiangyan, Ng, Boon Poh, Er, Meng Hwa

“…Therefore, a modified RBF neural network is proposed in this paper, which evaluates the similarity between an input vector and the center vector of a hidden layer neuron by their signed complex correlation coefficient. Numerous simulations demonstrate that compared to the conventional OBF system, the proposed RBF-OBF system can significantly reduce the bit error rates (BERs) under different noise and interference situations. …”

A brush with savage beauty: fashioning identities in the art of Juan Luna (1884-1895) by Khua, Kelly Janine Xiao Rong

“…His monumental work 'Spoliarium' won the gold medal at the 1884 Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in Madrid, a triumph that nationalists of the Propaganda Movement viewed as a sign of racial equality. Luna’s association with Filipino nationalist historiography, however, has resulted in a sanitisation of his biography and the scholarship on his artworks is dominated by political interpretations. …”

Creating special image effect by image decomposition and reconstruction by Li, Mengguo

“…Most of lime, we will use digital image processing instead of analog image processing because it can allow much wid er range of algorithms applications to the input image and also can avoi d pro blems like incre asing noise and sign al distortion during processing. In this project, we will use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to conduct digital image decomposition and reconstruction for human face images. …”

Portraits des magistrats vers 1660 : émergence d’une caractérologie informationnelle by Patterson, J

“…Au regard d’une analyse intertextuelle à même de les éclairer et de les interpréter, ces « documents » doivent également se lire comme le résultat et le signe d’une nouvelle caractérologie informationnelle.…”

Multiplicity and transverse momentum dependence of charge-balance functions in pPb and PbPb collisions at LHC energies by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Escalante Del Valle, A., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D.

“…The charge-dependent correlations are characterized by balance functions of same- and opposite-sign particle pairs. The balance functions, which contain information about the creation time of charged particle pairs and the development of collectivity, are studied as functions of relative pseudorapidity (∆η) and relative azimuthal angle (∆ϕ), for various multiplicity and transverse momentum (pT) intervals. …”

Carrier localization on the nanometer-scale limits transport in metal oxide photoabsorbers by Schleuning, Markus, Kölbach, Moritz, Ahmet, Ibbi, Präg, Raphael, Gottesman, Ronen, Gunder, Rene, Zhang, Mengyuan, Wargulski, Dan Ralf, Abou-Ras, Daniel, Grave, Daniel A., Abdi, Fatwa F., van de Krol, Roel, Schwarzburg, Klaus, Eichberger, Rainer, Friedrich, Dennis, Hempel, Hannes

“…Partial carrier localization further slows carrier diffusion beyond localization lengths of 1–6 nm and explains the extraordinarily long conductivity tails, which should not be taken as a sign of long diffusion lengths. For CuFeO2, the localization is attributed to electrostatic barriers that enclose the crystallographic domains. …”

Magneto-photoconductivity of three dimensional topological insulator bismuth telluride by Cao, Bingchen, Eginligil, Mustafa, Yu, Ting

“…By fitting the magneto-photoconductivity data of the thicker sample to the localization formula, we obtain weak antilocalization behaviour at 4, 10, and 20 K, as expected; however, weak localization behaviour at 30 K, which is a sign of surface states masked by bulk states. Also, from the temperature dependence of phase coherence length bulk carrier-carrier interaction is identified separately from the surface states. …”

Controls on present-day and future rainfall over southern Africa in coupled climate models by Munday, C

“…Climate models are the only tools available to estimate future rainfall change, but in the southern African summer rainfall season the latest generation of general circulation models disagree on the sign and magnitude of this change. Some models project small increases in rainfall (~20 mm.season-1) while other simulate large decreases (~100 mm.season^-1), and this diversity occurs in the context of large positive rainfall biases (up to 300%) in the present day. …”
