Chemical gas dispersion can represent a severe threat to human and animal lives, as well as to the environment. Constructing a map of the distribution of gas in a fast and reliable manner is critical to ensure accurate monitoring of at-risk facilities and ...
This dissertation deals with the design of practical erasure codes for storage systems. Hardware and logical disk failures are a common source of system failures that may lead to data loss. Nevertheless, it is predicted that spinning disks would remain the ...
We consider discrete message passing (MP) decoding of low-density parity check (LDPC) codes based on information-optimal symmetric look-up table (LUT). A link between discrete message labels and the associated log-likelihood ratio values (defined in terms ...
Humans can rapidly estimate the statistical properties of groups of stimuli, including their average and variability. But recent studies of so-called Feature Distribution Learning (FDL) have shown that observers can quickly learn even more complex aspects ...
The effect of Landau damping is often calculated based on a Gaussian beam distribution in all degrees of freedom. The stability of the beam is however strongly dependent on the details of the distribution. The present study focuses on the change of bunch d ...
In cloud storage systems, hot data is usually replicated over multiple disks/servers in order to accommodate simultaneous access by multiple users as well as increase the fault tolerance of the system. Recent cloud storage research has proposed using avail ...
Applications of the RApid Plasma Transport simulatOR (RAPTOR) for the simulation of the plasma tokamak parameters evolution are presented. The RAPTOR transport model has been extended by time varying terms and verified via comparisons with ASTRA simulation ...
investigate the error term of the asymptotic formula for the number of squarefree integers up to some bound, and lying in some arithmetic progression a (mod q). In particular, we prove an upper bound for its variance as a varies over (Z/qZ)(x) which consid ...
We report on the real space profile of spin polarons in the quasi-two-dimensional frustrated dimer spin system SrCu2(BO3)(2) doped with 0.16% of Zn. The B-11 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum exhibits 15 additional boron sites near nonmagnetic Zn impurit ...
We revisit the concept of marginal stability in glasses and determine its range of applicability in the context of an avalanche-type response to slow external driving. We argue that there is an intimate connection between a pseudogap in the distribution of ...
