During the last decade, an optical vortex (OV) has widely drawn attention since it refers to a unique fact that the spatial phase of an electromagnetic wave changes linearly, at its cross-section, with the azimuthal angle φ around the center point, named singularity point where there is no field distribution [1]. This special property of phase profile is described by a factor of exp(ilφ), where...

Purpose This study examines the contribution of number morphology to language comprehension abilities among children with specific impairment (SLI) and age-matched controls. It addresses question whether agreement facilitates accuracy object-initial declarative sentences. According predictions structural intervention account for German, should assist correct interpretation Method German-speakin...

Offshore vessels (OVs) often require precise station-keeping and some vessels, for example, involved in geotechnical drilling, generally use Spread Mooring (SM) or Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems. Most of these are equipped with both systems to cover all ranges water depths. However, determining which system a particular operational scenario depends on many factors requires significant balanci...

On-line comprehension studies of flexible word-order languages find that noncanonical ('scrambled') structures induce more difficulty than canonical structures [e.g., Hyona & Hujanen, Q. J. Exp. Psychol. 50A (1997) 841-858], with this difference being attributed to the structural complexity/infrequency of these forms. However, by presenting sentences in isolation, most existing studies have not...

A Cu–Fe 2 O 3 nanotube array with built-in electric field and OVs provided two grips for the enrichment anchoring of NO − near electrocatalytic electrodes. The enhancement effect OV-engineered heterogeneous interface on electroreduction were verified.

The lane reversal has proven to be a useful method to mitigate traffic congestion during rush hour or in case of specific events that affect high traffic volumes. In this work we propose a methodology that is placed within optimization via Simulation, by means of which a multi-objective genetic algorithm and simulations of traffic are used to determine the configuration of ideal lane reversal. ...
