Induced emission of the softer photon slightly increases the two-photon decay rate of the 2s level of hydrogen defining the rate of cosmological recombination. Correspondingly this changes the degree of ionization, the visibility function and the resulting primordial temperature anisotropies and polarization of the CMB on the percent level. These changes exceed the precision of the widely used ...

We report a miniaturized inline Fabry-Perot interferometer directly fabricated on a single-mode optical fiber with a femtosecond laser. The device had a loss of 16 dB and an interference visibility exceeding 14 dB. The device was tested and survived in high temperatures up to 1100 degrees C. With an accessible cavity and all-glass structure, the new device is attractive for sensing applications...

Induced emission due to the presence of soft CMB photons slightly increases the two-photon decay rate of the 2s level of hydrogen defining the rate of cosmological recombination. This correspondingly changes the degree of ionization, the visibility function and the resulting primordial temperature anisotropies and polarization of the CMB on the percent level. These changes exceed the precision ...

In microwave radiometry for early detection of breast malignancy a contacting antenna is scanned on the breast surface, while a pressure is exercised along with a deformation. Assuming the antenna at lower temperature than the breast, the results of a numerical modeling show an interesting increase in tumor radiometric visibility in compressed breast. Preliminary results on a real radiometric a...

the variation in climatic variables like temperature, humidity and radiations were recognized as the potential hazards in the growth and production of all domestic livestock species. thermal environment is a major factor that can negatively affect both production and reproduction in dairy animals, especially in animals of high genetic merit. among the stressors, heat stress has been of major co...

In general, visibility reconstruction problems involve determining a set of objects in the plane that exhibit a speci ed set of visibility constraints. In this paper, an algorithm for reconstructing a set of parallel line segments is presented, from speci ed visibility information contained in an extended endpoint visibility graph. The algorithm runs in polynomial time and relies on simple vect...

In this paper, we give a characterization of the visibility graphs of pseudo-polygons. We first identify some key combinatorial properties of pseudo-polygons, and we then give a set of five necessary conditions based off our identified properties. We then prove that these necessary conditions are also sufficient via a reduction to a characterization of vertex-edge visibility graphs given by O’R...

The problem of aggregation is considerable importance in many disciplines. In this paper, a new type of operator called visibility graph averaging (VGA) aggregation operator is proposed. This proposed operator is based on the visibility graph which can convert a time series into a graph. The weights are obtained according to the importance of the data in the visibility graph. Finally, the VGA o...

Let P be a simple polygon with n vertices. We present a new O(n)-time algorithm to compute the visible part of one edge from another edge of P . The algorithm does not alter the input and only uses O(1) variables and is therefore a constant-workspace algorithm. The algorithm can be used to make a constant-workspace algorithm for computing the weak visibility polygon from an edge in O(mn) time, ...
