q-mode hierarchical cluster (hca) and principal component analysis (pca) were simultaneously applied to groundwater hydrochemical data from the three times in 2004: june, september, and december, along the ain azel aquifer, algeria, to extract principal factors corresponding to the different sources of variation in the hydrochemistry, with the objective of defining the main controls on the h...

Even and odd q-deformed charge coherent states are constructed , their (over)completeness proved and their generation explored. A D-algebra realization of the SU q (1,1) generators is given in terms of them. They are shown to exhibit SU q (1,1) squeezing and two-mode q-antibunching, but neither one-mode, nor two-mode q-squeezing.

We have achieved stable passively Q-switched mode-locked (QML) operation in a Cr: LiSAF laser. In the experiments, 10 mm long, %1.5 Cr-doped crystal was pumped by two 150 mW single-mode diodes at 660 nm. An AlGaAs based saturable Bragg reflector (SBR) with central wavelength of 850 nm and modulation depth 0.8% used for initiating sustaining QML operation. The laser self-starting robust against ...

In this paper, two mode Q-learning, an extension of Q-learning, is used to stabilize the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) of a biped robot in the standing posture. In two mode Q-learning, the experiences of both success and failure of an agent are used for fast convergence. To demonstrate the effectiveness of two mode Q-learning against conventional Q-learning, the property of convergence is investigate...

Using a Cr:ZnS wafer as the saturable absorber, diode-pumped passively Q-switched mode-locking of a Tm:YAP laser at 1976 nm has been realized for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, and nearly 100% modulation depth of Q-switched mode-locking was achieved. The width of the mode-locked pulse was estimated to be about 980 ps with a repetition rate of 350 MHz within a roughly 300-ns-long ...

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) catalyzed shea nut shells, subjected to a one way activation scheme was employed to study the adsorption kinetics and mode of diffusion of industrial dye uptake. Thermodynamics data obtained in this study indicate that the sorption of dye spontaneously increases with time and decreases after equilibration was...

Achieving high-Q-factor resonances allows dramatic enhancement of performance of many plasmonic devices. However, the excitation of high-Q-factor resonance, especially multiple high-Q-factor resonances, has been a big challenge in traditional metamaterials due to the ohmic and radiation losses. Here, we experimentally demonstrate simultaneous excitation of double extremely sharp resonances in a...
