This paper shows that the standard industrial targets that need to be detected using an electromagnetic induction sensor cannot be represented by their exact size definition in international standards. Reinforcing steel with defined 16mm diameter according ...
We analyze the renormalon diagram of gauge theories on . In particular, we perform exact one loop calculations for the vacuum polarization in QCD with adjoint matter and observe that all infrared logarithms, as functions of the external momentum, cancel be ...
A technique to enhance the response and performance of Brillouin distributed fiber sensors is proposed and experimentally validated. The method consists in creating a multi-frequency pump pulse interacting with a matching multi-frequency continuous-wave pr ...
We consider inference on a vector-valued parameter of interest in a linear exponential family, in the presence of a finite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Based on higher-order asymptotic theory for likelihood, we propose a directional test whose p-value i ...
The invariant mass spectrum of the eta 'pi(+)pi(-) final state produced in two-photon collisions is obtained using a 673 fb(-1) data sample collected in the vicinity of the Gamma(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) ...
Verifying a person's identity claim by combining multiple biometric systems (fusion) is a promising solution to identity theft and automatic access control. This thesis contributes to the state-of-the-art of multimodal biometric fusion by improving the und ...
Phase of the interference fringe pattern is known to convey important information in optical metrology. Typically, phase measurement using temporal techniques involves incorporating a piezoelectric device (PZT) in one arm of the interferometer for shifting ...
This paper focuses on the scheduling problem of minimizing makespan for a given set of jobs in a two-stage hybrid flowshop subject to a product-mix ratio constraint. There are identical parallel machines at the first stage of the hybrid flowshop, while the ...
We investigate the distributed successive refinement (SR) hypothesis testing problem. Bivariate hypothesis H-0 : P-XY against H-1 : PXPY, i.e., test against independence is considered, when a remote sensor sends compressed information about data stream X s ...
We investigate two closely related successive refinement (SR) coding problems: 1) In the hypothesis testing (HT) problem, bivariate hypothesis H-o : P-XY against H-1 : P-X P-Y, i.e., test against independence is considered. One remote sensor collects data ...
