Coordinated action between music orchestra performance, driven by a conductor, is a remarkable instance of interaction/communication. However, a rigorous testing of inter-individual coordination in an ecological scenario poses a series of technical problems. Here we recorded violinists' and conductor's movements kinematics in an ecological interactive scenario. We searched for directed influenc...

We investigate the conductance of normal-conductor/graphene/normal-conductor NGN junctions for arbitrary on-site potentials in the normal and graphitic parts of the system. We find that a ballistic NGN junction can display insulating behavior even when the charge-carrier density in the graphene part is finite. This effect originates in the different k intervals supporting propagating modes in g...

Following the construction of two hybrid magnets, we intend to build up a third hybrid magnet which will produce about 30 T. A prereacted multifilamentary Nb Sn conductor will be employed for the 12 T superconducting part of the hybrid. As a first step for the project, we have designed, constructed and tested a magnet which consists of 14 double-pancakes made of a prereacted multifilamentary Nb...

Transient eddy current problem is solved in the present paper by the method of the Laplace transform for the case of a double conductor line located parallel to a conducting half-space. The Fourier sine and cosine integral transforms are used in order to find the Laplace transform of the solution. The inverse Laplace transform of the solution is found in closed form. The integrated electromotiv...

Different dynamic line rating systems have been developed for monitoring overhead lines. The aim of these systems is to estimate the actual rating of electric lines and use all the available capacity to achieve a more efficient use of the existing lines. Some systems have been installed in a distribution pilot line to evaluate the different uncertainty levels. Systems that measure weather param...

The proximity effect is very significant to investigate transient peak voltages and EMC related problems of a conductor system. In this paper, effect of energized single conductor in close proximity of an Al plate when an Al plate is used as return path is investigated to find out proximity effect. The analysis involves simulation by the Finite Time Domain Method (FDTD) in comparison with field...

A (v, b, r, k) combinatorial configuration is a (r, k)-biregular bipartite graph with v vertices on the left and b vertices on the right and with no cycle of length 4. Combinatorial configurations have become very important for some cryptographic applications to sensor networks and to peerto-peer communities. Configurable tuples are those tuples (v, b, r, k) for which a (v, b, r, k) combinatori...

This paper proposes a method for a ubiquitous sensor to detect the position and direction on the Two-Dimensional Signal Transmission sheet (2DST sheet), and conducts several basic experiments. First, we propose the algorithm to code the position information on the 2DST sheet, and prove that the room-sized 2DST sheet is covered by using this algorithm. Next, we perform simulations of the electro...

This work describes the construction of a sensitive, stable, and label-free sensor based on a dual-gate field-effect transistor (DG FET), in which uniformly distributed and size-controlled silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays by nanoimprint lithography act as conductor channels. Compared to previous DG FETs with a planar-type silicon channel layer, the constructed SiNW DG FETs exhibited superior elec...

The Ion Sensitive Field Effect Transistor (ISFET) operation based on polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors is reported. These devices can be fabricated on inexpensive disposable substrates such as glass or plastics and are, therefore, promising candidates for low cost single-use intelligent multisensors. In this work we have developed an extended gate structure with PE-CVD Si3N4 deposit...
