The axino and the gravitino are extremely weakly interacting candidates for the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). We demonstrate that either of them could provide the right amount of cold dark matter. Assuming that a charged slepton is the next-to-lightest supersymmetric particle (NLSP), we discuss how NLSP decays into the axino/gravitino LSP can provide evidence for axino/gravitino dark ...

Microscale Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is a technique that may be potentially used to manipulate the residual stress distributions in metal film structures and thus improve the reliability performances of micro-devices. In this study, microscale LSP of copper thin films on single crystal silicon substrates is investigated. Curvature measurements verify that substantial average compressive resi...

The explosive growth of the Internet and the advent of sophisticated services require an epoch-making change. As an alternative that can take in it, MPLS was proposed. Recently, many efforts and activities on MPLS have already been initiated, which prompt the necessity of MPLS simulator that can evaluate and analyze newly proposed MPLS techniques. This paper describes design, implementation, an...

We report the optical properties of localized surface plasmon (LSP)-enhanced green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) containing gold (Au) nanoparticles embedded in a p-GaN layer. The photoluminescence (PL) and electroluminescence (EL) intensities of a green LED with Au nanoparticles were enhanced by the coupling between excitons and LSPs. Excitation power-dependent PL and injection current-dependent...

This paper reports modeling improvements for micro-scale laser shock processing (LSP), fatigue testing of shock processed copper samples, and microstructure characterization of shock processed materials (Cu and Ni). Plasma expansion is modeled as laser supported combustion wave, in which radial and axial expansions are considered. Stress/strain analysis is extended to three-dimensional and take...

We calculate the relic abundance of Higgsino-dominant lightest superparticles, taking account of coannihilations with the superparticles which are almost degenerate with the lightest one. We show that their relic abundance is reduced drastically by the coannihilation processes and hence they are cosmologically of no interest. The lightest superparticle (LSP) in supersymmetric (SUSY) standard mo...

The micromechanical properties of Zr-based metallic glass (MG) induced by laser shock peening (LSP) were studied through the use nanoindentation. serrations in representative load-displacement ( P-h ) curves exhibited a transformation from stairstep-like to ripple-shaped untreated zone region, which implied an increase plastic deformation ability material after LSP. Significant hardening was al...

The quality of service (QoS) on tunnel resilience of the label switch path (LSP) for the multiple protocol label switching (MPLS) technology has drawn much research attention recently. To address the relevant issue, we propose an architecture/mechanism of the area scoped LSP restoration for MPLS incorporating different classes of resilience QoS in this paper. We first define four QoS classes by...

In MPLS over optical networks, the lightpath cannot be released if it accommodates one LSP. This causes inefficiency in channel utilization in the optical links that the lightpath traverses. If all the LSPs accommodated in a lightpath can be re-routed to other lightpaths, this lightpath can then be released. This paper proposes an efficient re-routing scheme to remove secondary LSPs from select...
