Selective IR absorption in molecular nanofilms

We have formulated a microscopic theory of optical properties of ultrathin molecular films (nanofilms), i.e. quasi 2D systems parallel to XY planes bounded by two surfaces. Exposure of nanofilms to the external electromagnetic fields has result in creation of excitons - but different than bulk ones. Harmonic exciton states were calculated using the method of two-time, retarded, temperature dependent Green’s functions. It has been shown that two types of optical excitations can occur: bulk and surface exciton states. Exciton energy dispersion law shows discrete behavior with non-zero values. Analysis of the dielectric properties of these crystalline systems for low exciton concentration shows that the permittivity strongly depends on boundary parameters and the thickness of the film. In addition, permittivity shows very narrow and discrete dependence of external electromagnetic field frequency, which is a consequence of both resonance and quantum size effects. Influences of boundary conditions on optical characteristics (through analyses of dynamical absorption coefficient) of these nanostructures were specially and in details explored.     

Room-Temperature-Processable Highly Reliable Resistive Switching Memory with Reconfigurability for Neuromorphic Computing and Ultrasonic Tissue Classification

Reversible metal-filamentary mechanism has been widely investigated to design an analog resistive switching memory (RSM) for neuromorphic hardware-implementation. However, uncontrollable filament-formation, inducing its reliability issues, has been a fundamental challenge. Here, an analog RSM with 3D ion transport channels that can provide unprecedentedly high reliability and robustness is demonstrated. This architecture is realized by a laser-assisted photo-thermochemical process, compatible with the back-end-of-line process and even applicable to a flexible format. These superior characteristics also lead to the proposal of a practical adaptive learning rule for hardware neural networks that can significantly simplify the voltage pulse application methodology even with high computing accuracy. A neural network, which can perform the biological tissue classification task using the ultrasound signals, is designed, and the simulation results confirm that this practical adaptive learning rule is efficient enough to classify these weak and complicated signals with high accuracy (97%). Furthermore, the proposed RSM can work as a diffusive-memristor at the opposite voltage polarity, exhibiting extremely stable threshold switching characteristics. In this mode, several crucial operations in biological nervous systems, such as Ca²⁺ dynamics and nonlinear integrate-and-fire functions of neurons, are successfully emulated. This reconfigurability is also exceedingly beneficial for decreasing the complexity of systems—requiring both drift- and diffusive-memristors.     

Side-lobe control in circular ring array

This work explores the possibility of achieving low side lobes in a circular ring array by adopting a new field-synthesis technique. The control of the unit (or element) pattern is used to overcome the phase problem associated with the field synthesis of circular ring array described in the text     

Les enjeux économiques de ľinterconnexion des réseaux

The network interconnection and its regulation consist in solving the following dilemma: increase competition and preserve the universal service through access charges, which symbolizes today institutional organization within the telecommunication industry. This paper presents some of the economic and social factors that drive the interconnection policies namely ona (open network architecture) in the United States, or onp (open network provision) in Europe. In the first section, we list some social and economical issues related to open network policies. In the second section, we study the different answers brought up by the regulator through alternative interconnection price formulas. In conclusion, we discuss the stakes and risks of interconnection, while the technological evolution of network introduces intelligent software in switching équipement and implements the tremendous abilities of the digital broadband networks.     

辽河盆地红星地区浅层气藏成因及其勘探意义

通过分析辽河盆地红星地区浅层气的分布、控制因素与成藏特征,搞清了该区浅层气的成因,指出红星地区与驾掌寺生油洼陷紧邻,驾掌寺大断裂的晚期活动为深层油气在纵向上的调整提供了通道条件和圈闭条件,进而为浅层气藏的形成奠定了物质基础,同位素资料显示东营组浅层气为高成熟热解气,与深层油气藏具有亲缘关系,深部（沙一段）的原生油气藏被改造,导致部分油气沿断裂发生垂向运移至浅层,并沿断裂两侧聚集而形成浅层气藏。认为该区的浅层气已形成了一定规模的产能,在目前天然气勘探开发形势严峻的情况下,可为辽河油田天然气的勘探开发提供一个具体目标。

On teletraffic applications to OBS

We provide teletraffic models for loss probability evaluation of optical burst switching (OBS). We show that the popular Engset formula is not exact for OBS modeling and demonstrate that in certain cases it is not appropriate. A new exact model is provided. The various models are compared using numerical results for various OBS alternatives with and without burst segmentation.     

ZCZ‐CDMA and OFDMA using M‐QAM for broadband wireless communications

This paper considers direct‐sequence code‐division multiple‐access with zero‐correlation zone sequences (ZCZ‐CDMA) and orthogonal frequency‐division multiple‐access (OFDMA) schemes using M‐ary QAM signaling for broadband wireless communications. Their system structures, complexities and performances in both AWGN and multipath frequency‐selective fading channels are evaluated and compared. For ZCZ‐CDMA, joint suppression of the multipath fading interference and multiple‐access interference can be achieved with a reduced family‐size of the spreading sequences. For OFDMA, analytical and simulation results indicate that it has the same performance as ZCZ‐CDMA in fast time‐varying multipath fading channels. In time‐invariant or slowly time‐varying channels, where the channel information can be made available to transmitters, OFDMA outperforms ZCZ‐CDMA, offers a higher capacity and is more flexible for system reconfiguration with a comparable computational complexity.
