Design of a lambda configuration in artificial coherent nanostructures
2015
The implementation of a three-level Lambda System in artificial atoms would allow to perform advanced control tasks typical of quantum optics in the solid state realm, with photons in the $\mathrm{\mu m}$/mm range. However hardware constraints put an obstacle since protection from decoherence is often conflicting with efficient coupling to external fields. We address the problem of performing conventional STImulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) in the presence of low-frequency noise. We propose two strategies to defeat decoherence, based on "optimal symmetry breaking" and dynamical decoupling. We suggest how to apply to the different implementations of superconducting artificial atoms, …
Estimating radiant fields in flat heterogeneous photoreactors by the six-flux model
2006
Heterogeneous photoreactor modeling is a task complicated by the integro-differential nature of the Radiation Transfer Equation (RTE) when scattering phenomena are important. In the present work, a novel “Six Flux Model” (SFM) is proposed, which may be regarded as a step forward with respect to the previously proposed “Two Flux Model” (TFM). In order to validate the newly proposed model, Monte Carlo simulations of an indefinite plane-slab photoreactor have been performed. As no simplifying assumptions are involved in this case, the information obtained may be regarded as “pseudo-experimental,” and therefore compared with the predictions of both TFM and SFM models. Results show that the nove…
Action-oriented classification of families' information and communication actions: exploring mothers' viewpoints
2009
Action-oriented service and technology development begins with the idea that people use technologies to reach their action goals. Consequently, we should investigate user needs and how they can be satisfied, and adapt services and technologies to the natural course of actions. Here, we focus on family communication and investigate mobile communication service types for families. For this study 10 mothers were interviewed; we investigated the nature of their everyday information and communication needs and the different knowledge and information transfer actions that were discovered in their families. Qualitative analysis of these interviews was used to generate a taxonomy, which, in turn, c…

Ground Fault Current Distribution in Substations Supplied by Nonuniform Multi-Section Lines
2007
he paper presents a general method for computing the distribution of substation ground fault current. The feeding line can be entirely homogeneous along its whole length or consisting of two or more different sections, i.e. part overhead and part underground cable. Based on the two-port theory, the proposed method allows to take into account all the relevant conductively and inductively coupled parameters which take part to the distribution of the fault current and can be easily implemented in a computer program. Numerical examples demonstrate the high efficiency of the proposed method.
Information flow in EEG source networks in epileptic children with focal seizure activity
2019
Scalp electroencephalographic (EEG) signals are influenced by several factors, including volume conduction and low spatial resolution, which can jeopardize the validity of brain connectivity analysis performed on the raw recordings. One possible solution is to identify, starting from scalp EEG signals, the underlying cortical source activations, and to apply connectivity metrics on the reconstructed source time series. In this work, the dynamics of information flow between cortical EEG signals obtained after source reconstruction were assessed in children suffering from focal epilepsy. In a group of 10 children with focal seizures, 5-second windows of the 19-channel EEG were obtained in the…
Effect of self-assembled surfactant structures on ion transport across the liquid|liquid interface
1999
In this paper, the effect of a coadsorbed polyanion–cationic surfactant system on the transport of tetraethylammonium ion across the water|1,2-dichloroethane interface is studied. It is shown that the change in double-layer structure due to the presence of adsorbed or coadsorbed surfactant can explain the experimental observations, thus concluding that no other effects on ion transfer (e.g., steric hindrance) are relevant under these experimental conditions. The implications of these results are discussed. Keywords: ITIES, Ion transfer, Self-assembled monolayers, Surfactants, Double-layer effects
Measuring spectrally-resolved information transfer for sender- and receiver-specific frequencies
2020
AbstractInformation transfer, measured by transfer entropy, is a key component of distributed computation. It is therefore important to understand the pattern of information transfer in order to unravel the distributed computational algorithms of a system. Since in many natural systems distributed computation is thought to rely on rhythmic processes a frequency resolved measure of information transfer is highly desirable. Here, we present a novel algorithm, and its efficient implementation, to identify separately frequencies sending and receiving information in a network. Our approach relies on the invertible maximum overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) for the creation of surrogate d…

INFLUENCE OF UNEQUAL OSCILLATOR STRENGTHS ON STIMULATED RAMAN ADIABATIC PASSAGE THROUGH BRIGHT STATE
2012
In the present work an analytical and numerical analysis of the b -STIRAP process in a medium with unequal oscillator strengths is performed. It is shown that the length of population transfer can be considerably increased by an appropriate choice of the dipole transitions.
