We investigate the quantization of a free particle interacting linearly with a harmonic oscillator. We extend the work of previous authors to obtain accurate and reliable estimates for the large energy levels in order to determine the spectral statistics of the system. We do this via an analytical study of the system in the two complementary regions of phase space, followed by attempts to under...

Abstract. We analyse theoretically for the first time to our knowledge the perfect phase matching of guided TE and TM modes with a multilayer waveguide composed of linear isotropic dielectric materials. Alongside strict investigation into dispersion relations for multilayer systems, we give an explicit qualitative explanation for the phenomenon of mode matching on the basis of the standard one-...

There are many image fusion methods that can be used to produce high-resolution mutlispectral images from a high-resolution panchromatic (PAN) image and low-resolution multispectral (MS) of remote sensed images. This paper attempts to undertake the study of image fusion techniques with different Statistical techniques for image fusion as Local Mean Matching (LMM), Local Mean and Variance Matchi...

Setting up a full data integration system for many application contexts, e.g. web and scientific data management, requires significant human effort which prevents it from being really scalable. In this paper, we propose IFD (Integration based on Functional Dependencies), a pay-as-you-go data integration system that allows integrating a given set of data sources, as well as incrementally integra...

Broadband noise absorption, including low frequencies, may be obtained by a hybrid passive-active two-layer system. A porous layer in front of an air layer provides passive absorption, at medium and high frequencies. Active control of the input impedance of the two-layer system yields absorption at low frequencies. The active control system can implement either pressure-release or impedance-mat...

This paper introduces the concept and design of a new integrated approach to long-range autonomous Mars rover localization based on the incremental bundle adjustment and visual odometry technologies that have been individually experimented with during the 2003 Mars Exploration Rover mission. The design result indicates that a rover would have a varying performance in traversing from 7.5 to 118 ...

This paper describes a Name Matching Evaluation Laboratory that is a joint effort across multiple projects. The lab houses our evaluation infrastructure as well as multiple name matching engines and customized analytical tools. Included is an explanation of the methodology used by the lab to carry out evaluations. This methodology is based on standard information retrieval evaluation, which req...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) multihop system is a promising way to increase capacity and coverage. In this paper, we propose an optimally joint subcarrier matching and power allocation scheme to further maximize the total channel capacity with the constrained total system power. First, the problem is formulated as a mixed binary integer programming problem, which is prohibi...
