Wireless communication system working over Gamma shadowed Nakagami-m multipath fading channel in the presence of cochannel interference exposed to Nakagami-m short term fading and Gamma long term fading is investigated in this work. In interference limited channel, the ratio of desired signal envelope and interference is important performance measure. For considered model signal to interference...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dynamometer and joint axis misalignment on measured isometric knee-extension moments using inverse dynamics based on the actual joint kinematic information derived from the real-time X-ray video and to compare the errors when the moments were calculated using measurements from external anatomical surface markers or obtained from the isoki...

We introduce a new micro/macro decomposition of collisional kinetic equations which naturally incorporates the exact space boundary conditions. The idea is to write the distribution fonction f in all its domain as the sum of a Maxwellian adapted to the boundary (which is not the usual Maxwellian associated with f) and a reminder kinetic part. This Maxwellian is defined such that its ’incoming’ ...

We demonstrate that the interplay between soft electronic particle-hole fluctuations and magnetic anisotropies can drive ferromagnetic moments to point along a magnetic hard axis. As a proof of concept, we show this behavior explicitly for a generic two-band model with local Coulomb and Hund's interactions and a spin-orbit-induced easy plane anisotropy. The phase diagram is calculated within th...

Taking advantage of the availability of the analytic solution of the mean spherical approximation for a mixture of charged hard spheres with an arbitrary number of components we show that the polydisperse fluid mixture of charged hard spheres belongs to the class of truncatable free energy models, i.e., to those systems where the thermodynamic properties can be represented by a finite number of...

We propose a theoretical and numerical analysis of restricted diffusion between parallel planes in a cosine magnetic field. The specific choice of this spatial profile as proportional to an eigenfunction of the Laplace operator in this confining geometry considerably simplifies the underlying mathematics. In particular, exact and explicit relations for several moments of the total phase accumul...

This paper traces the development of critical rationality and rationally defined intelligence from ancient times through to the present. The idea of intelligence will be situated within a civilisational perspective, and in particular the western rationalist hegemony. Thus the development of western theories of mind is first traced, up until the beginnings of the modern era. Then seminal relevan...

2014 The usual interaction between localized magnetic moments and itinerant electrons (RKKY-coupling) is modified by the additional coupling between nesting electrons and hole parts of the Fermi surface. It is shown that the presence of localized magnetic moments of magnetic impurities leads to the appearance of spin-density-waves in the itinerant electron system even in the case where nesting ...

This paper investigates the moments and stress resultants from infinite FG laminates with different polygonal cutouts subject to uniaxial tensile load. The analytical solution used for the calculation of stress resultants and moments is the basis of the complex-variable method and conformal mapping function. The impact of various factors, namely cutout orientation angle, cutout aspect ratio as ...

We report the measurements of anisotropic magnetization and magnetoresistance on single crystals of EuFe2As2, a parent compound of ferro-arsenide hightemperature superconductor. Apart from the antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin-densitywave transition at 186 K associated with Fe moments, the compound undergoes another magnetic phase transition at 19 K due to AFM ordering of Eu spins (J = S = 7/2). The...
