Efficient thermo-optically controlled Mach-Zhender interferometers using dielectric-loaded plasmonic waveguides
2012
Compact fiber-coupled dielectric-loaded plasmonic Mach-Zehnder interferometers operating at telecom wavelengths and controlled via the thermo-optic effect are reported. Two fabricated structures with Cytop substrate and a ridge made of PMMA or a cycloaliphatic acrylate polymer (CAP) were considered showing low switching power of 2.35 mW and switching time in the range of microseconds for a CAP ridge and milliseconds switching time for a PMMA ridge. Full output modulation is demonstrated for the structure with a CAP ridge and 40% modulation with a PMMA ridge.

Noisy dynamics in long and short Josephson junctions
The study of nonlinear dynamics in long Josephson junctions and the features of a particular kind of junction realized using a graphene layer, are the main topics of this research work. The superconducting state of a Josephson junction is a metastable state, and the switching to the resistive state is directly related to characteristic macroscopic quantities, such as the current the voltage across the junction, and the magnetic field through it. Noise sources can affect the mean lifetime of this superconducting metastable state, so that noise induced effects on the transient dynamics of these systems should be taken into account. The long Josephson junctions are investigated in the sine-Gor…

Contact-Induced Convergence: Typology and Areality
2006
From an integrative perspective, research on language typology and research on areality understood in terms of contact-induced convergence are mutually dependent. Typologists need to be aware that their generalizations are as reliable as they manage to integrate effects of contact into their statistics. Contact linguists need to be aware that typological findings may not qualify as independent evidence for their field. Thus, typologists and contact linguists both need to have certain information concerning each other's field. For that reason, this article covers both fields under one title. The article is divided into three main sections. The first deals with language contact and its struct…
Feeling Upside Down: Witchcraft and Exclusion in the Twilight of Early Modern Spain
2019
In mid-1812, in the village of Tosos (Zaragoza), more than thirty-two of the inhabitants claimed to be possessed. Most of the population accepted the supernatural explanation of maleficence and cast the blame on one woman, Joaquina Martínez, who was labelled a witch and sorceress and whose life was threatened on several occasions thereafter, until she was definitively expelled from the village. Had this happened in the 16th or 17th century, Joaquina would have been tried and awarded a harsh sentence.Two centuries on from the end of the “witch-hunt”, however, as if in a “looking-glass world”, those brought to trial were her persecutors.The episcopal trial of the so-called “possessed of Tosos…
O czary, próbę spędzenia płodu, bigamię i czyny nierządne. Proces Barbary z Krzyżanowskich 1o Krępska, 2o Lenartowiczowej w Barze w 1764 roku. Edycja…
2022
Wzmiankowany w tytule proces sądowy odbył się 18 lipca 1764 roku. Oskarżono w nim Barbarę z Krzyżanowskich primo Krępską, secundo Lenartowiczową o przywłaszczenie spadku po mężu, który zgodnie z prawem powinien przypaść jego córce z pierwszego małżeństwa Annie. Sprawę do sądu wniósł jej mąż Jan Szcześniacki. W trakcie procesu okazało się, że Barbara winna była jeszcze kilku innych przestępstw zagrożonych bezwzględną karą śmierci jak bigamia, próba przerwania ciąży oraz kontakty intymne z parobkiem Iwanem Zemkowem, który z tego powodu był wyśmiewany przez kolegów. Jednym z poważnych zarzutów były czary, które oskarżona miała rzekomo rzucić na kochanka oraz byłego męża, który z ich powodu mia…
Mixed l-/l1 fault detection observer design for positive switched systems with time-varying delay via delta operator approach
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Control, Automation and Systems. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12555-013-0466-1 This paper investigates the problem of fault detection observer design for positive switched systems with time-varying delay via delta operator approach. A new fault sensitivity measure, called l-index, is proposed. The l- fault detection observer design and multi-objective l -/l1 fault detection observer design problems are addressed. Based on the average dwell time approach and the piecewise copositive type Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method in delta domain, sufficient conditions for the existence of …
Spin Switching in Molecular Quantum Cellular Automata Based on Mixed-Valence Tetrameric Units
2016
In this article we focus on the study of spin effects in a single square-planar mixed-valence cell comprising two electrons and in coupled molecular cells for quantum cellular automata. Using the vibronic model we demonstrate that the polarizabilities of the cell are different in spin-singlet and spin-triplet states of the electronic pair. Based on this inference the concept of spin switching in molecular quantum cellular automata is proposed, and the conditions under which this effect is feasible are derived. In order to reveal these conditions we have performed a series of quantum-mechanical calculations of the vibronic energy levels of the isolated cell and of the cell subjected to the e…
