A robust, user-friendly, and automated method to determine quantum conductance in quasi-one-dimensional systems is presented. The scheme relies upon an initial density-functional theory calculation in a specific geometry after which the ground-state eigenf ...
The problem of reliably reconstructing a function of sources over a multiple-access channel (MAC) is considered. It is shown that there is no source-channel separation theorem even when the individual sources are independent. Joint source-channel strategie ...

In the absence of complexity and delay constraints, the quality of a noisy communication channel can be characterized by a single number, called its capacity and usually measured in bits. Shannon [1] showed that this number is universal in the sense that v ...

The sensitivity of the unmeasured state variables to the measurements strongly affects the rate of convergence of a state estimation algorithm. To overcome potential observability problems, the approach has been to identify the model parameters so as to re ...
We investigate how various treatments of exact exchange affect defect charge transition levels and band edges in hybrid functional schemes for a variety of systems. We distinguish the effects of long-range vs short-range exchange and of local vs nonlocal e ...
The purpose of this paper is to describe results from the use of a set of Excel macros written to facilitate the comparison of image analysis (IA) and laser diffraction (LD) particle size analysis (psa) data. Measurements were made on particle systems of d ...
We provide a complete characterization of the rate-distortion region for the multistage successive refinement of the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem with degraded side informations at the decoder. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a source to be succ ...
The capacity of a particular large Gaussian relay network is determined in the limit as the number of relays tends to infinity. Upper bounds are derived from cut-set arguments, and lower bounds follow from an argument involving uncoded transmission. It is ...
We consider an elastic chain at thermodynamic equilibrium with a heat bath, and derive an approximation to the probability density function, or pdf, governing the relative location and orientation of the two ends of the chain. Our motivation is to exploit ...
