We present an extensive experimental and theoretical study of the particle plasmon resonances of L-shaped gold nanoparticles. For the small characteristic size of the particles, we observe more higher-order resonances than ...

Multipath propagation is one of the most difficult error sources to compensate in global navigation satellite systems due to its environment-specific nature. In order to gain a better understanding of its impact on the ...

This paper addresses the analysis and mitigation of the signal distortion caused by oscillator phase noise (PN) in OFDM communications systems. Two new PN mitigation techniques are proposed, especially targeted for reducing ...

The experimental ITER fusion reactor will feature a number of remote handling (RH) systems that perform maintenance and replacement operations in the reactor. RH control systems must be fail-safe and recoverable, since no ...

We show that bulk and surface contributions in second-order surface nonlinear optics of isotropic materials can be identified unambiguously in a single measurement by their polarization signatures. The signatures follow ...

Electronic absorption, luminescence, IR and Raman spectra of polymorphous forms of fluoroquinolones were investigated. Assignment of the band maxima due to π→π* and n→π* electronic transitions were done. The structural ...

Graphics processing is an application area with high level of parallelism at the data level and at the task level. Therefore, graphics processing units (GPU) are often implemented as multiprocessing systems with high ...

This paper proposes a time-domain digital signal processing method for estimating and mitigating transmitter and receiver oscillator phase-noise effects in OFDM radio systems on the receiver side of the link. The idea is ...

Multithreading is an important software modularization technique. However, it can incur substantial overheads, especially in processors where the amount of architecturally visible state is large. We propose an implementation ...

Hardware accelerators are used to speed up execution of specific tasks such as video coding. Often the purpose of hardware acceleration is to be able to use a cheaper or, for example, more energy economical processor for ...
