Measuring the level of electromagnetic interference emitted by electronic devices is an important part of the process of production and development of these devices. Today, these measurements are performed by specialized laboratories that are equipped with an anechoic or semi-anechoic chamber. For manufacturers of electronic devices, it would be beneficial if a Gigahertz Transversal Electromagn...

Several studies have shown that sensory contextual cues can reduce the interference observed during learning of opposing force fields. However, because each study examined a small set of cues, often in a unique paradigm, the relative efficacy of different sensory contextual cues is unclear. In the present study we quantify how seven contextual cues, some investigated previously and some novel, ...

In this study, dynamic bearing capacity of adjacent shallow strip foundations located on sandy soil was examined using a numerical finite difference modeling, FLAC. The behavioral interference of shallow strip foundations under different conditions was investigated. The effect of soil strength parameters, geometric characteristics of shallow foundations and cyclic loads at different distance ra...

We study quantum interference effects on the transition strength for strongly localized electrons hopping on two-dimensional ~2D! square and three-dimensional ~3D! cubic lattices in the presence of a magnetic field. These effects arise from the interference between phase factors associated with different electron paths connecting two distinct sites. For electrons confined on a square lattice, w...

Learning to control movements in different dynamic environments is marked by proactive interference; learning a first skill interferes with the subsequent learning of a second one. The neural basis of this effect is poorly understood. We tested the idea that proactive interference results from persisting neural representations of previously learned skills in the primary motor cortex (M1). We us...

For the Standard Model extended with a real scalar singlet field, the modification of the heavy Higgs signal due to interference with the continuum background and the off-shell light Higgs contribution is studied for gg → ZZ,WW → 4 lepton processes at the Large Hadron Collider. Interference effects can range from O(10%) to O(1) effects for integrated cross sections. Despite a strong cancellatio...

We analyze the interference between tunneling paths that occurs for a spin system with both fourth-order and second-order transverse anisotropy. Using an instanton approach, we find that as the strength of the second-order transverse anisotropy is increased, the tunnel splitting is modulated, with zeros occurring periodically. This effect results from the interference of four tunneling paths co...

The characteristics of hole-assisted fiber (HAF) are investigated both numerically and experimentally in terms of its applicability as a bending-loss insensitive fiber (BIF). We show that HAF with the desired mode-field diameter (MFD), bending-loss and cutoff wavelength characteristics can be roughly designed by taking a few specific structural parameters into consideration. We also show that a...

Several atom optics experiments have studied how atom-surface interactions affect the propagation of atom waves. However, none of these experiments directly measure the phase shift of atom waves due to interaction with a surface. For example, experiments with atoms transmitted through a cavity [1, 2], atoms diffracted from a material grating [3–6], atoms reflecting from surfaces [7– 10], atoms ...
