Topology of the Fittest Transportation Network

The presence or absence of loops in the emergent transportation networks, that are characterized by a minimum overall cost, is shown to depend on the convexity of the cost function for the local transportation of material. Our results are directly applicab ...

Interferometric analysis of resonant Rayleigh scattering from two-dimensional excitons

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Vincenzo Savona

We have performed spectral interferometry with Rayleigh scattered light coming from a single speckle and emitted after resonant creation of excitons in GaAs quantum wells:: The experiment confirms the coherence of the secondary emission at early times, reg ...

Optimal state regulation for uncertain state-space models

Ali H. Sayed

This paper studies the problem of state regulation for uncertain state-space models. It formulates a new weighted game-type cost function with bounds on the sizes of the uncertainties in the data. The cost function is of independent interest in its own rig ...

Read/write holographic memory versus silicon storage

Demetri Psaltis, Wei Liu

This paper compares the read/write holographic memory with silicon storage on issues of cost, density, size and speed. With a photorefractive crystal on top of a silicon interface, the holographic memory is of cost efficiency, volume compactness and fast d ...

Knowledge, agency, and design information systems

Jeffrey Huang

This paper addresses CAAD from an organizational point of view. We employ recent developments in organizational economics to model the organizational processes in building design. Based on an analysis of (i) the cost of transferring knowledge, and (ii) age ...

An unbiased and cost-effective leaky-LMS filter

Ali H. Sayed

We propose a modified leaky-LMS filter that ensures stability of the estimates w(k) in the presence of bounded noise, without introducing any bias term and with the added cost of only a comparison and a multiplication per iteration when compared to the cla ...

A simulator of the manufacturing of induction motors

Christopher Tucci

This paper presents a simulator of the manufacturing process of induction motors. Its main purpose is to provide feedback in the form of motor cost and production scheduling during the process of motor design. The paper concentrates on modeling and simulat ...

Actuators and control for teleoperators

The design of a mechatronic system in an industrial context is alwais affected by cost. Either the performances have to be optimized for a given cost or the cost must be minimized for the given performances. ...

Utilization of cellulosic materials through enzymatic hydrolysis. II. Preliminary assessment of an integrated processing scheme

Urs von Stockar

An integrated processing scheme is described for the conversion of a celluosic waste (newsprint) to sugrsa by enzymatic hydrolysis and then to ethanol and yeast by fermentation. The unconverted solids are burned to produce process energy requirements and s ...

Does Austerity Go Along with Internal Devaluations

Luisa Lambertini, Christian Pröbsting

We empirically show that the austerity packages implemented in some euro area countries during 2010–2014 were only partially successful in generating internal devaluations. Countries that cut spending indeed experienced a decline in nominal wages, a real e ...
