Microphysical properties and chemical compositions of aerosol particles determine polarized radiance distribution in the atmosphere. In this paper, the influences of different aerosol properties (particle size, shape, real and imaginary parts of refractive index) on Stokes parameters of polarized skylight in the solar principal and almucantar planes are studied by using vector radiative transfe...

The fixed energy scattering matrix is defined on a perturbed stratified medium, and for a class of perturbations, its main part is shown to be a Fourier integral operator on the sphere at infinity. This is facilitated by developing a refined limiting absorption principle. The symbol of the scattering matrix is shown to determine the asymptotics of a large class of perturbations.

In this work we compare two different approaches to calculation of the three-body resonances on the basis of Faddeev differential equations. The first one is the complex scaling approach. The second method is based on an immediate calculation of resonances as zeros of the three-body scattering matrix continued to the physical sheet.

BACKGROUND Omeprazole is metabolized predominantly by CYP2C19, a polymorphically expressed enzymes that show marked interindividual and interethnic variation. These variations cause a substantial differences that have been reported in the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of omeprazole in a random Iranian population. ME...

We consider the 1D massless Dirac operator on the real line with compactly supported potentials. We study resonances as the poles of scattering matrix or equivalently as the zeros of modified Fredholm determinant. We obtain the following properties of the resonances: 1) asymptotics of counting function, 2) estimates on the resonances and the forbidden domain, 3) the trace formula in terms of re...

In this paper, we compute the scattering matrix for the Hilbert modular group over any number field K. We then express the determinant of the scattering matrix as a ratio of completed Dedekind zeta functions associated to the Hilbert class field of K. This generalizes work of Efrat and Sarnak [ES] in the imaginary quadratic case.

Modeling and performance of on-chip spiral inductors is presented. Y-parameters are obtained from the measured S-parameters of the inductor fabricated in 0.35-μm SOI CMOS technology. Matlab is used to get the π-equivalent circuit model parameters at each frequency point. The SOI CMOS inductor shows better performance characteristics in terms of Q-factor and self-resonance frequency.

This paper demonstrates a digital waveguide implementation of a six-hole woodwind tonehole lattice, based on theory and measurements published by Keefe (1981). Woodwind tonehole transmission-matrix parameters are converted to traveling-wave scattering parameters suitable for digital waveguide implementation. Second-order digital filters are designed to approximate the reflection and transmissio...

In the last ten years, the use of gamma-ray spectrometry for geological mapping and mineral exploration has shown considerable growth. With this growth, standardized procedures have been developed for the calibration and processing of the airborne measurements so that they will be independent of survey parameters. This paper describes some of the new developments to convert airborne data to gro...
