A stochastic process approach to multilayer neutron detectors

Subspace detectors for stochastic process shift keying

We present a new digital modulation technique that introduces covertness in digital communications in a simple fashion. The basic principle is to transmit realizations of a stochastic process in such a manner that the transmitted waveform appears noiselike. The transmitted waveform is expressed in a subspace formalism, allowing for an elegant geometrical interpretation of the waveform, and a si...

Neutron Detectors

Mechanisms for detecting neutrons in matter are based on indirect methods. Neutrons, as their name suggests, are neutral. Also, they do not interact directly with the electrons in matter, as gamma ray$ do. The process of neutron detection begins when neutrons, interacting with various nuclei, initiate the release of one or more charged particles. The electrical signrdsproduced by the charged pa...

A Discrete Stochastic Approach to Hotel Revenue Management

  A linear programming model has been presented for finding an appropriate planning in order to maximize hotel revenue. In this model, a special planning horizon has been considered that includes several busy days of a year. There are several reservation periods that may start a few months earlier. Each period of reservation may have different prices and so result different incomes. Hotel custo...

Silicon Carbide Neutron Detectors

The potential of Silicon Carbide (SiC) for use in semiconductor nuclear radiation detectors has been long recognized. In fact, the first SiC neutron detector was demonstrated more than fifty years ago (Babcock, et al., 1957; Babcock & Chang, 1963). This detector was shown to be operational in limited testing at temperatures up to 700 oC. Unfortunately, further development was limited by the poo...
