A mathematical programming approach to a problem in variance penalised Markov decision processes

In this paper we present three algorithms for solving a problem in which it is required to get an optimal compromise between the average expected reward per unit time and the variance of the reward per unit time. The algorithms lead to an-optimal solution, where>0 is arbitrary.     

Role of electron-phonon interaction in lattice dynamics and superconductivity of oxide spinel LiTi2O4

The lattice dynamics of an oxide spinel LiTi₂O₄ is studied by taking account of the electron-phonon (EP) interaction derived on the basis of the realistic tight-binding bands fitted to the first-principles bands. Due to the characteristic dependences of the EP interaction on wavevectors and vibrational modes, a remarkable frequency renormalization of the O vibrational modes, which hybridize with the Ti vibrational modes, is obtained over a wide region of the Brillouin zone. The overall features of the calculated phonon density of states are in agreement with those observed by the inelastic neutron scattering measurements. By using the EP interaction and the renormalized phonon frequencies we have calculated the EP spectral function ² F(). The superconducting transition temperature, gap function, and tunneling spectra are calculated by solving the Éliashberg equation. The results agree well with the observations.     

Lateral WSe2 Homojunction through Metal Contact Doping: Excellent Self-powered Photovoltaic Photodetector

Here an IR-heating chemical vapor deposition (CVD) approach enabling fast 2D-growth of WSe₂ thin films is reported, and the great potential of metal contact doping in building CVD-grown WSe₂-based lateral homojunction is demonstrated by contacting with TiN/Ni metals in favor of holes/electrons injection. Shortening nanosheet channel to ≈2 µm leads to pronounced enhancement in the performance of diode. The fabricated WSe₂-based diode exhibits high rectification ratios without the need of gate modulation and can work efficiently as photovoltaic cell, with maximum open circuit voltage reaching up to 620 mV and a high power conversion efficiency over 15%, empowering it as superb self-powered photodetector for visible to near-infrared lights, with photoresponsivity over 0.5 A W⁻¹ and a fast photoresponse speed of 10 µs under 520 nm illumination. It is of practical significance to achieve well-performed photovoltaic devices with CVD-grown WSe₂ using fab-friendly metals and simple processing, which will help pave the way toward future mass production of optoelectronic chips.     

3-Methyl-α-himachalene: Proposed structure for novel homosesquiterpene sex pheromone ofLutzomyia longipalpis (diptera: Psychodidae) from Jacobina,Brazil

The principal behaviorally active volatile component (ca. 90% +) of the sex pheromone glands ofLutzomyia longipalpis from Jacobina. Brazil, has been isolated and characterized as a novel homosesquiterpene with the structure 3-methyl--himachalene (C₁₆H₂₆). A minor component (ca. 10%) of the gland extract has also been identified as the sesquiterpene-himachalene (C₁₅H₂₄). This work confirms that there are at least 3 members of theL. longipalpis species complex.

Circular polarized dual‐band antenna for WLAN/Wi‐MAX application

A novel square ring printed antenna has been suggested for dual‐band circular polarization (CP). The geometry contains a square patch and a square ring structure for dual‐band operation. Circular polarization is achieved using triangular cut at the boundary and right angle bend with inner perturbation. The suggested antenna is excited from the lower layer through electromagnetic (EM) coupling technique. The antenna shows good impedance bandwidths of 90 MHz (2.43‐2.52 GHz) and 800 MHz (5.7‐6.5 GHz, respectively. The antenna shows 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 20 MHz at lower band and 120 MHz at upper band with improved gain > 6 dBi. The simulated and measured results are well agreed with each other. The antenna is promising wideband operation at the upper band. This antenna was implemented on fiberglass reinforcement laminated Arlon substrate with dielectric constant (?_r = 2.55), and the overall physical dimension of 30 × 30 × 3.048 mm³. The designed antenna can be extensibly applicable in WLAN/Wi‐MAX communication. The presented antenna is designed using hyperlynx IE3D and the simulated results are presented.
