A new phase locked loop strategy for power quality instruments synchronisation

2006

Power quality instrumentation requires the accurate fundamental frequency estimation and the signal synchronization, even in presence of disturbances. In the paper the authors present an innovative synchronization technique, based on a single phase software PLL. To evaluate how the synchronization technique is adversely affected by the application of stationary and transient disturbing influences, appropriate testing conditions have been developed, taking into account the requirements of the in-force standards. In the paper the proposed technique is described and PLL performances in presence of stationary and transient disturbances are presented

Meeting the Discipline-Culture Framework of Physics Knowledge: A Teaching Experience in Italian Secondary School

2014

The paper deals with physics teaching/learning in high school. An investigation in three upper secondary school classes in Italy explored the reactions of students to a structuring lecture on optics within the discipline-culture (DC) framework that organises physics knowledge around four interrelated fundamental theories of light. The lecture presented optics as an unfolding conceptual discourse of physicists regarding the nature of light. Along with the knowledge constructed in a school course of a scientific lyceum, the students provided epistemological comments, displaying their perception of physics knowledge presented in the classroom. Students’ views and knowledge were investigated by…

Left but not right temporal involvement in opaque idiom comprehension: a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation study

2004

Abstract It has been suggested that figurative language, which includes idioms, is controlled by the right hemisphere. We tested the right hemisphere hypothesis by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to transiently disrupt the function of the frontal and temporal areas of the right versus left hemisphere in a group of normal participants involved in a task of opaque idiom versus literal sentence comprehension. Forty opaque, nonambiguous idioms were selected. Fifteen young healthy participants underwent rTMS in two sessions. The experiment was run in five blocks, corresponding to the four stimulated scalp positions (left frontal and temporal and right frontal and tempor…

A Phenomenological Operator Description of Dynamics of Crowds: Escape Strategies

2015

Abstract We adopt an operatorial method, based on creation, annihilation and number operators, to describe one or two populations mutually interacting and moving in a two-dimensional region. In particular, we discuss how the two populations, contained in a certain two-dimensional region with a non-trivial topology, react when some alarm occurs. We consider the cases of both low and high densities of the populations, and discuss what is changing as the strength of the interaction increases. We also analyze what happens when the region has either a single exit or two ways out.

Generation of Frames

2004

It is well known that, given a generic frame, there exists a unique frame operator which satisfies, together with its adjoint, a double operator inequality. In this paper we start considering the inverse problem, that is how to associate a frame to certain operators satisfying the same kind of inequality. The main motivation of our analysis is the possibility of using frame theory in the discussion of some aspects of the quantum time evolution, both for open and for closed physical systems.

Tensorial Development of the Rovibronic Hamiltonian and Dipole Moment Operators for XY3Z Molecules with a Degenerate Electronic State. Preliminary Ap…

2009

Abstract We present a development of the Hamiltonian and transition moment operators of XY3Z ( C 3 v ) symmetric tops molecules in a degenerate electronic state with the aid of a tensorial formalism developed in a recent paper [A. El Hilali, V. Boudon, M. Loete, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 239 (2006) 41–50]. Electronic operators are defined from group theory properties. They provide a new approach to build an effective rovibronic Hamiltonian as well as an effective dipole moment operator for rovibronic transition of XY3Z molecules. This model is studied qualitatively thanks to the tensorial algebra properties. Expressions of the matrix elements are derived for these operators. A first simple applica…

Application of dictionary learning to denoise LIGO’s blip noise transients

2020

Data streams of gravitational-wave detectors are polluted by transient noise features, or ``glitches,'' of instrumental and environmental origin. In this work we investigate the use of total variation methods and learned dictionaries to mitigate the effect of those transients in the data. We focus on a specific type of transient, ``blip" glitches, as this is the most common type of glitch present in the LIGO detectors and their waveforms are easy to identify. We randomly select 100 blip glitches scattered in the data from advanced LIGO's O1 run, as provided by the citizen-science project Gravity Spy. Our results show that dictionary-learning methods are a valid approach to model and subtrac…

Use of Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis operators for Coulomb friction modeling with presliding

2017

Prandtl-Ishlinskii stop-type hysteresis operators allow for modeling elasto-plasticity in the relative stress-strain coordinates including the saturation level of the residual constant-tension flow. This lies in direct equivalence to the force-displacement characteristics of nonlinear Coulomb friction, whose constant average value at unidirectional motion depends on the motion sign only, after the transient presliding phase at each motion reversal. In this work, we analyze and demonstrate the use of Prandtl-Ishlinskii operators for modeling the Coulomb friction with presliding phase. No viscous i.e. velocity-dependent component is considered at this stage, and the constant damping rate of t…

Simultaneously recovering potentials and embedded obstacles for anisotropic fractional Schrödinger operators

2017

Let \begin{document}$A∈{\rm{Sym}}(n× n)$\end{document} be an elliptic 2-tensor. Consider the anisotropic fractional Schrodinger operator \begin{document}$\mathscr{L}_A^s+q$\end{document} , where \begin{document}$\mathscr{L}_A^s: = (-\nabla·(A(x)\nabla))^s$\end{document} , \begin{document}$s∈ (0, 1)$\end{document} and \begin{document}$q∈ L^∞$\end{document} . We are concerned with the simultaneous recovery of \begin{document}$q$\end{document} and possibly embedded soft or hard obstacles inside \begin{document}$q$\end{document} by the exterior Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map outside a bounded domain \begin{document}$Ω$\end{document} associated with \begin{document}$\mathscr{L}_A^s+q$\end{docume…
