In order to determine a guaranteed upper bound for worst case “1-cosine” gust loads of flexible aircrafts, the usage of the worst case energy-to-peak gain of linear parametervarying (LPV) systems has been recently proposed. A limitation of this approach is that it cannot deal with nonlinearities. This paper uses integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) to circumvent this restriction and to conside...

We discuss particle production in the high energy limit of QCD. Due to a large gluon density, the interaction reaches the black disk limit and the projectile is resolved into its partonic structure at the saturation scale. This leads to suppression of forward particle production and hereby to a faster absorption of cosmic ray air showers. This property is most suitable for the distinction of ev...

using a new numerical model, the pump-to-signal relative intensity noise (rin) transfer in singlepumpfiber optical parametric amplifiers for low modulation frequencies is investigated. the model includesfiber loss, pump depletion, as well as the gain saturation, and therefore, it can describe the practicalcircumstances associated with various applications of fiber optical parametric amplifiers....

Introduction. It has been suggested that an impairment in skeletal muscle mitochondrial function plays a causative role in the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes [1]. This hypothesis is predominantly based on in vitro measurements of for example gene expression and in vivo measurements of basal ATP synthesis flux with P MR saturation transfer (ST) experiments. However, the in...
