Dispersion, impedance matching and resolution characteristics of an isotropic three-dimensional flat lens (“superlens”) are studied. The lens is based on cubic meshes of interconnected transmission lines and bulk loads. We study a practical realization of the lens, based on the microstrip technology. The dispersion equations that have been previously derived, are verified with full-wave simulat...

This paper presents a detailed noise analysis and noise-based optimization procedure for resonant MEMS structures. A design for high sensitivity of MEMS structures needs to take into account the noise shaping induced by damping phenomena at micro scale. The extraction of a behavioral model of the solid gas interaction is obtained by matching the FEA simulations with a parametric expression for ...

A brief review of key recent developments and ongoing projects in perturbative QCD theory, with emphasis on conceptual advances that have the potential for impact on LHC studies. Topics covered include: twistors and new recursive calculational techniques; automation of one-loop predictions; developments concerning NNLO calculations; the status of Monte Carlo event generators and progress in mat...

Power law fluctuations and scale-free spatial patterns are known to characterize steady state plastic flow in crystalline materials. In this Letter we study the emergence of correlations in a simple Frenkel-Kontorova-type model of 2D plasticity which is largely free of arbitrariness, amenable to analytical study, and is capable of generating critical exponents matching experiments. Our main obs...

In this paper, a semi-analytical model is proposed to solve the diffraction problem from cylinder with moonpool. The and moonpool can be in arbitrary shapes. Linear potential flow theory eigenfunction matching method are adopted analytical model. After dividing fluid domain into three regions (i.e., region beneath cylinder; inner enclosed by exterior outer cylinder), diffracted spatial potentia...

The theory of two-sided matching markets has interested researchers for its theoretical appeal and relevance to real-life applications. The matching of medical residents and hospitals in the United States has been studied extensively by Alvin E. Roth (1984) and others. The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), the matching authority in the US hospital-resident matching market, runs a centr...

We study numerically the maximum $z$-matching problems on ensembles of bipartite random graphs. The describes matching between two types nodes, users and servers, where each server may serve up to $z$ at same time. By using a mapping standard maximum-cardinality matching, because for latter there exists polynomial-time exact algorithm, we can large system sizes $10^6$ nodes. measure capacity en...

Matching with preferences has great potential to coordinate the efficient allocation of scarce resources in organizations when monetary transfers are not available. It is well known that it impossible combine all three properties truthfulness, efficiency, and fairness (i.e., envy freeness) matching preferences. Established mechanisms either or free, efficiency loss envy-free substantial. We foc...
