The use of an optically thick slab may provide versatile solutions for the realization of a current injection type laser using photonic crystals. Here, we show that a transversely higher-order defect mode can be designed to be confined by a photonic band gap in such a thick slab. Using simulations, we show that a high-Q of > 10 is possible from a finely tuned second-order hexapole mode. Experim...

We compare the expressiveness of the fragments of Halpern and Shoham’s interval logic (HS), i.e., of all interval logics with modal operators associated with Allen’s relations between intervals in linear orders. We establish a complete set of interdefinability equations between these modal operators, and thus obtain a complete classification of the family of 2 fragments of HS with respect to th...

In this paper, a brand new method utilizing the service-oriented software architecture and the rising technology of Grid computing with available software Globus Toolkit 4 is introduced. The traditional centralized remote sensing image processing model under stand-alone computer environment is changed into a model in Grid environment by decomposing the system into different services which enabl...

Aims. We have performed a set of highand low-spectral resolution phase-resolved X-ray observations of the magnetic B star β Cep, for which theoretical models predict the presence of a confined wind emitting X-rays from stationary shocks. Some of the models predict, given the peculiar geometry of β Cep, strong rotational modulation of the X-ray emission, while other models predict a much lower a...
