First-principles calculations of the essential spin-orbit and spin relaxation properties of phosphorene are performed. Intrinsic spin-orbit coupling induces spin mixing with the probability of b2 ≈ 10−4, exhibiting a large anisotropy, following the anisotropic crystalline structure of phosphorene. For realistic values of the momentum relaxation times, the intrinsic (Elliott-Yafet) spin relaxati...

Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks (BiRNNs) haveshown outstanding results on sequence-to-sequence learning tasks. This architecture becomes specially interesting for multimodal machine translation task, since BiRNNs can deal with images and text. On most translation systems the same word embedding is fed to both BiRNN units. In this paper, we present several experiments to enhance a baseli...

Florence Eileen Elliott was born on 6 October 1905 in Randalstown. She qualified as a registered nurse in 1930 from the Royal, she undertook midwifery training in Edinburgh and worked there as midwifery Sister for a number of years. In 1943 she was invited to apply for a post as Matron of Whiteabbey Sanatorium. There, with her innovative approach, she introduced affiliated nurse training, in as...

The stochastic properties of the binary channel that describe the successes and the failures of the transmission of a modulated signal over a time correlated flat fading channel is considered for investigation. This analysis is employed to develop -th order Markov models for such a burst channel. The order of the Markov model that generates accurate analytical models is estimated for a broad ra...

globalization and democracy have become the most debated issues throughout the world, which, no doubt also influence iran. this paper highlights these phenomena with respect to iran but takes up the issue through various description and features presented by the con-temporary socio- political thinkers and economists. considering globalization, although the subject matter is very recent but iran...
