Submitted for the MAR09 Meeting of The American Physical Society Rectification, Gating Voltage and Interchannel Communication of Nanoslot Arrays Due to Asymmetric Entrance Space Charge Polarization GILAD YOSSIFON, YU-CHEN CHANG, HSUEH-CHIA CHANG, University of Notre Dame — A nanochannel array with homogenous surface charge and height (i.e. uniform electro-chemical potential) but with asymmetric...

This paper investigates the emission reduction performance for supply chain members in both single-channel and exclusive dual-channel cases. Two game scenarios (Manufacturer Stackelberg and Retailer Stackelberg) are examined under different channel structures. Furthermore, we introduce government subsidies as an impact factor of low-carbon strategy adoption. In the single-channel (Case 1), we m...

The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tb-MscL) was subjected to cysteine-scanning mutagenesis at several residues in the M1 region. The V15C channel displayed disulfide crosslinking in air, but not in the presence of 100 mM beta-mercaptoethanol. In single-channel experiments, the V15C channel was more sensitive to tension than was wild-type Tb-MscL. ...

User authentication (UA) supports the receiver in deciding whether a message comes from the claimed transmitter or from an impersonating attacker. In cryptographic approaches messages are signed with either an asymmetric or symmetric key, and a source of randomness is required to generate the key. In physical layer authentication (PLA) instead the receiver checks if received messages presumably...

This study focuses on the derivation of a general effective diffusion coefficient to describe the twodimensional (2D) diffusion in a narrow and smoothly asymmetric channel of varying width that lies on a curved surface, in the simple diffusional motion of noninteracting point-like particles under no external field. To this end we extend the generalization of the Kalinay-Percus’ projection metho...

Carbon-based membranes were manufactured by deposition of a polymeric precursor on asymmetric porous, ceramic substrates with tube channel geometry followed pyrolysis. As precursor, an unsaturated polyester resin prepared was used. The the carbon results first short substrate geometries (105 mm long single-channel tube), further scaling-up 19-channel (250 and 600 length) successfully performed....

This paper presents an iterative blind channel estimation algorithm that exploits the parity check equations of a channel code. While with conventional pilots prior data knowledge is used to estimate the channel, the idea here is to exploit prior knowledge of the parity check equations of the code. Furthermore, if an asymmetric code is used, the inherent phase ambiguity of blind systems is avoi...
