Molecular-Dynamics Simulation of Self-Diffusion of Molecular Hydrogen in X-Type Zeolite by Xiaoming Du

“…The results indicate that in the temperature range of 77–293 K and the pressure range of 10–2700 kPa, the self-diffusion coefficients are found to range from 1.61 × 10−9 m2·s−1 to 3.66 × 10−8 m2·s−1 which are in good agreement with the experimental values from the quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and pulse field gradients nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) measurements. …”

NLOS location enhancement algorithm based on depth-first multipath parameter estimation by Xiaofeng LU, Ye DONG, Yuejie LI

“…In order to improve the positioning accuracy of millimeter wave system with non-line-of-sight (NLOS) paths, a depth-first multipath parameter estimation algorithm was proposed based on distributed compressed sensing.According to the evaluated multipath parameters, NLOS path could be identified, so that the localization performance was enhanced.Firstly, depth-first algorithm was applied to reduce the unnecessary path searching, and the more accurate multipath parameters were obtained.Secondly, under the reverse positioning distance residual method, NLOS path recognition could be carried out.Then, the scatterers in the NLOS path were matched, and the position of which were regarded as virtual anchor nodes.Combining the information of base stations and virtual anchor nodes, positioning enhancement was realized.Finally, localization performance of the proposed algorithm was simulated, compared with the distance weighted least square (LS) and maximum discrimination transformation (MDT) algorithms, the performance of the proposed algorithm is improved by 17% and 8% respectively.…”

A New Approach for Calculation of Metamaterial Printed Fractal Antenna Using Galerkin’s Method by Amjad S. Saedy, Al-Samawal. Saleh, Sadiq. Ali

“…Galerkin’s method is applied to deduce the impedance relationship of the proposed structure and then compute the return loss verses frequency by converting the impedance matrix of the proposed antenna [Z] to the scattering matrix [S]. This model is developed in order to study the impedance of the proposed antenna after adding a metamaterial structure in the antenna substrate. …”

Metrological Advantages in Seeded and Lossy Nonlinear Interferometers by Jasper Kranias, Guillaume Thekkadath, Khabat Heshami, Aaron Z. Goldberg

“…We find the threshold on the internal loss at which the quantum advantage vanishes, specify when and how much coherent-state seeding optimally counters internal loss, and show that a sufficient amount of squeezing confers to the quantum advantages robustness against external loss and inefficient detection.…”

A Model for Cosmic Magnetic Field Amplification: Effects of Pressure Anisotropy Perturbations by Ji-Hoon Ha

“…By considering the balance between isotropization through magnetic field amplification and anisotropy generation by external sources such as turbulence and anisotropic cosmic-ray scattering, it is reasonable to assume that the system evolves around an equilibrium anisotropy value. …”

Régimes de qualité de l’emploi et diversité des pays émergents by Thibaud Deguilhem, Adrien Frontenaud

“…Two interesting results came out from this study using a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) and a Mixed Clustering (MC) break two institutional dimensions into fourteen indicators. (1) Four specific quality of employment regimes appear, illustrating their heterogeneity and the weakness of this category. (2) The BRICS appear notably scattered over some socio-economic aspects of each leader. …”

Evaluation of Carboxymethyl-Hexanoyl Chitosan as a Protein Nanocarrier by Mikael Larsson, Annika Borde, Emma Mattisson, Dean-Mo Liu, Anette Larsson

“…Bovine serum albumin (BSA) or its chromophore labelled version, fluorescein‐BSA, was used as a model protein and the loading was performed with a simple mixing of pre‐formed nanocapsules and protein. Dynamic light scattering and zeta potential analysis revealed that protein loaded nanocarriers with high positive zeta potential were formed. …”
