Downlink capacity analysis in distributed antenna systems by Jun-bo WANG, Jin-yuan WANG, Xi-bin ZHAO, Ming GU, Ming CHEN, Yuan JIAO

“…The downlink capacity was analyzed in distributed antenna systems(DAS).Firstly,a composite channel model was established,which took path loss,lognormal shadowing and Rayleigh fading into account.Then,based on the channel model,both the ergodic capacity and outage capacity were analyzed.After that,considering the distribution of mobile stations(MS)in the system,the approximate analytical expressions of the ergodic capacity and outage capacity were derived by making use of selective diversity(SD)transmission scheme for distributed antennas.Numerical results show that both the two approximate analytical expressions can provide sufficient precision for evaluating the system performance of DAS.…”

Spectral Polyhedra by Raman Sanyal, James Saunderson

“…We prove that spectral polyhedra are spectrahedra and give small representations as spectrahedral shadows. We close with observations and questions regarding hyperbolicity cones, polar convex bodies and spectral zonotopes.…”

Measurements and Simulations on the Mechanisms of Efficiency Losses in HIT Solar Cells by Silvio Pierro, Andrea Scuto, Luca Valenti, Marina Foti, Anna Battaglia, Giovanni Mannino, Cosimo Gerardi, Felice Crupi, Salvatore Lombardo

“…The higher resistivity of the a-Si layers implies a smaller distance between the metal lines that causes a higher shadowing. The worst optical coupling between the amorphous silicon and the antireflective coating implies a slight increase of reflectivity around the 600 nm wavelength.…”

Investigation on Nonuniform Extension of Hydraulic Fracture in Shale Gas Formation by Zhiheng Zhao, Youcheng Zheng, Yili Kang, Bo Zeng, Yi Song

“…Due to the anisotropy of mechanical property and the stress shadowing effect between multiclusters, fractures would extend nonuniformly and even some clusters are invalid, leading to a poor treatment performance. …”

Recent conventional and exotic charmonia results from LHCb by Kang Youen

“…The bound quarkonium states undergo dissociation and recombination in PbPb collisions, where they can also experience the initial and final state effects such as shadowing and co-mover breakup. With the large datasets of pp and pPb collisions, and excellent vertexing capabilities allowing separation of the prompt and b-decay components, LHCb performs precise measurements of J/ψ, ψ(2S ) and, for the first time at the LHC, χc production and modification in small collision systems. …”

La forêt comme clôture : l’enfermement de l’habitat par la forêt by Claire Labrue

“…Living in a forested area is immemorial, but the lack of acculturation of the forest by the society which is becoming more urban reinforces the forest’s confining effect: the forest’s borders are causing environmental problems such as blocking views and shadows caused by the trees, the impact of which is influencing the feelings of the inhabitants. …”

Co-Formations : des spatialités de résistance décoloniales chez les lesbiennes « of color » en France by Paola Bacchetta

“…Part two analyzes four modes of resistance (psychic, transgressive, transformative and directly oppositional) via these two concepts, underscoring that which otherwise falls in the shadows. The article concludes that lesbians “of color” are always already working with inseparabilities even when not articulated as such, and that the concept of co-formations can provide a means to keep these inseparabilities visible.…”

Cyril Tourneur : déictique et/ou didascalie, écriture d’un décor virtuel by Danièle Berton-Charrière

“…In Cyril Tourneur’s Laugh and Lie Down or The World’s Folly and The Transformed Metamorphosis the scene is set in enclosed claustrophobic spaces, frightening replicas of hell and purgatory in which shadows occupy the whole locus. The camera-obscura-like microcosms, respectively given as ‘the world’s folly’ and a ‘concavitie’, can be seen as specific theatrical places devoted to entertainment and revelling, including fantasmagory. …”

Une constellation invisibilisée by Marie-Dominique Gil

“…If she has remained famous for her literary work, her artistic practice and correlatively the transmission strategies that she organized specifically for young women sculptors, painters or even videographers have remained in the shadows. For Kate Millett, the film Three Lives (1971), directed by an exclusively female team, constitutes the concrete application of a feminist teaching of the cinematographic arts. …”

Impact of Vehicular Array Position on Urban MIMO Channel Characteristics by Christopher C. Squires, Tricia J. Willink

“…However, the characteristics of the multipath components observed at each side of the vehicle can differ significantly. Specifically, shadowing from the vehicle combined with the directionality of the side-mounted array elements affects the angular distribution and powers of the received multipath components, affecting the achievable diversity and channel capacity. …”
