Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification of probe signals is highly polarization dependent. Maximum and minimum gain values are associated with a pair of orthogonal states of polarization (SOP) at the fiber output. Since the maximum gain is much ...
This paper inspects the 'deep' habits mechanism originally used by Ravn, Schmitt-Grohé and Uribe (2006) to generate the positive comovement of public and private consumption observed in many VAR studies. In their set-up, the price-elasticity of demand is p ...
Ghent University Faculty of Economics and Business Administration Working Paper 2010/6412011
Hardware failures in current data centers are common partly due to the higher data scales supported. Data replication is the common approach for improving availability. However, mostly static replication approaches have been proposed, i.e. the number of re ...
This paper presents a novel self-reconfigurable robotic system named ACMoD where each module can move itself individually. It can also attach to other modules to build various configurations and change this configuration adaptively on different terrains. I ...
Design of concrete girder bridges has significantly evolved during the last decades. This has been particularly relevant with respect to shear design, motivated by changes in actions and design models. As a consequence, assessing the shear strength of exis ...
It has been known for decades that the metabolic rate of animals scales with body mass with an exponent that is almost always 2/3, and often very close to 3/4. The 3/4 exponent emerges naturally from two models of resource distribution networks, radia ...
We consider processes which have the distribution of standard Brownian motion (in the forward direction of time) starting from random points on the trajectory which accumulate at -∞ 1. We show that these processes do not have to have the distribution of st ...
In this paper we study the role of feedback in layered two unicast wireless networks with arbitrary number of nodes and connectivity. The feedback model allows destinations to feedback their received signals to their respective sources. In the case of line ...
The Swiss housing market is characterised by an extraordinarily low vacancy rate, generally in the vicinity of 1%. Is it permanently in a condition of severe shortage? This paper uses both a standard non-accelerating rent inflation rate of vacancy approach ...
Power electronics is continuously evolving toward higher power densities. Consequently, volume, weight, and material reduction are becoming major design issues, which lead the research focus toward high/medium-frequency power conversion systems. This paper ...
