In this paper we give conditions,under which, we can define a signature process of a coherent system observing the ordering components lifetimes, as they appear in time until system failure. In the case of independent and identically distributed component lifetimes, the signature process actualizes itself on time and does not depend of the particular components lifetimes distribution F and of t...

Free coherent states for a system with two degrees of freedom is defined. An isomorphism of the space of distributions on 2-adic disc and the space of free coherent states is constructed. 1 Construction of free (or Boltzmannian) coherent states Free (or Boltzmannian) Fock space has been considered in some recent works on quantum chromodynamics [1], [2], [3] and noncommutative probability [4], [...

Memory-mapped networks such as Scalable Coherent Interconnect (SCI) [5] and Memory Channel [4] offer a new method for constructing network peripherals by remoting a host’s IO bus. This paper details our experiences from building such an endpoint, and examines how greater support may be provided.

Mounting evidence suggests that fluid advection can effectively be studied by considering special material surfaces, which are referred to here as Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs). What makes these material surfaces special is their distinguished attracting or repelling nature. Notably, LCS are often locally the most strongly attracting or repellingmaterial surfaces in theflow, and as such...

Free coherent states for a system with two degrees of freedom is defined. A linear map of the space of free coherent states to the space of distributions on 2-adic disc is constructed. 1 Construction of free (or Boltzmannian) coherent states Free (or Boltzmannian) Fock space has been considered in some recent works on quantum chromodynamics [1], [2], [3] and noncommutative probability [4], [5]....

This paper discusses the planning of system responses in information-seeking dialogues. Many dialogue systems are capable of answering single questions or carrying out dialogues which have fairly xed structures, but they show little or no capability to continue the dialogue in an intelligent way, if something unexpected takes place. Our system aims to be exible and overcome the shortcomings in ...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is an attractive modulation format that recently received a lot of attention in the fiber-optic community. The main advantage of optical OFDM is that it can cope with virtually unlimited amount of inter symbol interference (ISI). In high-speed optical transmission systems, ISI is caused for instance by chromatic dispersion and it is serious issu...
