In a Josephson junction, which is the central element in superconducting quantum technology, irreversibility arises from abrupt slips of gauge-invariant phase difference across contact. A slip (QPS) often visualized as tunneling flux transverse direction to weak link, produces dissipation. this work, we detect instantaneous heat release caused by QPS junction using time-resolved electron thermo...

We present a method for computing the solution to the infinite horizon continuous-time constrained linear quadratic regulator (CLQR). The method relies on two main features: a multi-grid method for placing a finite number of time intervals, and a piece-wise linear parameterization of the input within the intervals. The input values at the grid points and slopes within the time intervals are com...

Food safety is a major concern for consumers and a major issue for industry which has become aware of the importance of the starter safety assessment. In the European Union, the Food Safety Authority has introduced the Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) approach for safety assessment of microorganisms throughout the food chain. This assessment relies on: taxonomy, familiarity, pathogenicity ...

Quadratic programming problems (QPs) that arise from dynamic optimization problems typically exhibit a very particular structure. We address the ubiquitous case where these QPs are strictly convex and propose a dual Newton strategy that exploits the block-bandedness similarly to an interior-point method. Still, the proposed method features warmstarting capabilities of active-set methods. We giv...

Middleware provides distributed objects with a software infrastructure that offers a set of well-known distribution transparencies. These transparencies enable the rapid introduction of applications for heterogeneous, distributed systems. However, to support guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) system-specific QoS mechanisms need to be controlled. Accessing the low-level mechanisms directly by a...

This article introduces an ultra-compact four-way quadrature power splitter (4W-QPS) based on a novel transmission-line compression technique called double-path zigzag microstrip line (DP-ZML). Detailed design techniques with modular approach are disclosed for the state-of-the-art 5G low-band applications. The theoretical predictions verified experimental results through fabricated prototype th...

Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT.  We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress  score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...
