An attempt was made to analyze differences in the results obtained by various kinds of finger plethysmography, such as penetration photo-electric plethysmograph (penet.-PTG), reflexion photo-electric PTG (refl.-PTG), mechanoelectric PTG (pneumo-PTG and hydro-PTG) and impedance PTG, by taking simultaneous recordings principally from the same finger tip. Comparisons of the time course (onset time...

We perform a time-dependent analysis of continuous wave (cw) four-wave mixing (FWM) in InGaAs/AlAs coupled double quantum well (CDQW) structures via intersubband transitions. By using the coupled Schrödinger–Maxwell approach, we obtain the corresponding explicit analytical expressions for the input probe and FWM-generated signal fields. We calculated the dependencies of the efficiency of the FW...

We consider the superfluid density s T in a two-band superconductor with sign-changing extended s-wave symmetry s+ in the presence of nonmagnetic impurities and apply the results to Fe-pnictides. We show that the behavior of the superfluid density is essentially the same as in an ordinary s-wave superconductor with magnetic impurities. We show that, for moderate to strong interband impurity sca...

– Until recently it has been believed that the superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is described by p-wave pairing. However, both the recent specific heat and the magnetic penetration depth measurements on the purest single crystals of Sr2RuO4 appear to be explained more consistently in terms of f-wave superconductivity. In order to further this hypothesis, we study theoretically the thermodynamics and...

The move to the cloud brings a number of new security challenges, but the application remains your last line of defense. Engineers are extremely well poised to perform tasks critical for securing the application—provided that certain key obstacles are overcome. Cloud Shifts the Burden of Security to Development
