In linear IC's fabricated in a low-voltage CMOS technology, the reduction of the dynamic range due to the dc offset and low,frequency noise of the ampli$ers becomes increasingly significant. Also, the achievable aniplijier gain is often quite low in such a technology, since cascoding may not be a practical circuit option due to the resulting reduction of the output signal swing. In this paper, ...

We investigate the scaling of the phase sensitivity of a nonideal Heisenberg-limited interferometer with the particle number N, in the case of the Bayesian detection procedure proposed by Holland and Burnett [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 1355 (1993)] for twin boson input modes. Using Monte Carlo simulations for up to 10 000 bosons, we show that the phase error of a nonideal interferometer scales with t...

This paper presents an extended multicomponent lattice Boltzmann model for the simulation of electrolytes. It is derived by means of a finite discrete velocity model and its discretization. The model recovers momentum and mass transport according to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and Maxwell-Stefan formulation, respectively. It includes external driving forces (e.g., electric field) ...

We investigate the combined influence of structural defects and uniaxial longitudinal strain on the electronic transport properties of armchair graphene nanoribbons using the numerical approach based on the semiempirical tight-binding model, the Landauer formalism, and the recursion method for Green functions. We calculate the conductance of graphene nanoribbons in the quantum coherent regime w...

Sparse representation (SR) algorithms can be implemented for high-resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. Additionally, SR can effectively separate the coherent signal sources because the spectrum estimation is based on the optimization technique, such as the L(1) norm minimization, but not on subspace orthogonality. However, in the actual source localization scenario, an unknown gain...

We conducted reversed deliquescence experiments in saturated NaCl–NaNO3 – H2O, KNO3 – NaNO3 – H2O, and NaCl–KNO3 – H2O systems from 90 to 120 °C as a function of relative humidity and solution composition. NaCl, NaNO3 , and KNO3 represent members of dust salt assemblages that are likely to deliquesce and form concentrated brines on high-level radioactive waste package surfaces in a repository e...
