Figure of Merit for Servo Motor [PDF]
Nature, 1950 A SERVO motor must control the position of a mechanism (valve, rudder, gear, etc.) in accordance with varying requirements. The figure of merit of such a motor indicates how speedily the motor is able to respond to these requirements.

Optimization of quantum state tomography in the presence of experimental constraints
, 2014 In the absence of experimental constraints, optimal measurement schemes for quantum state tomography are well understood. We consider the scenario where the experimenter doesn't have arbitrary freedom to construct their measurement set, and may therefore

Polaritonic figure of merit of plane structures
Optics Express, 2017 Based on the ability of plane structures to simultaneously optimize the propagation, confinement, and energy of surface plasmon-polaritons or surface phonon-polaritons, we develop the polaritonic figure of merit Z = βRΛ2/δ, where βR, Λ and δ are the longitudinal wave vector, propagation length, and penetration depth, respectively.

Guided Mode Resonance Sensors with Optimized Figure of Merit
Nanomaterials, 2019 The guided mode resonance (GMR) effect is widely used in biosensing due to its advantages of narrow linewidth and high efficiency. However, the optimization of a figure of merit (FOM) has not been considered for most GMR sensors.

Combining Size and Shape in Weak Lensing
, 2013 Weak lensing alters the size of images with a similar magnitude to the distortion due to shear. Galaxy size probes the convergence field, and shape the shear field, both of which contain cosmological information.

Frictional Figures of Merit for Single Layered Nanostructures [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 We determined frictional figures of merit for a pair of layered honeycomb nanostructures, such as graphane, fluorographene, MoS$_2$ and WO$_2$ moving over each other, by carrying out ab-initio calculations of interlayer interaction under constant loading force.

Thermoelectric properties of carbon nanotube/silicone rubber composites
Journal of Experimental Nanoscience, 2017 In this paper, we have studied the relevant physical quantities to the figure of merit of carbon nanotube (CNT)/polydimethylsiloxane composites at different loadings, and found that with increasing the CNT loadings, the electrical conductivity jumps ...

Editorial: Figures Of No Merit [PDF]
Optical Engineering, 1986 The subject of this editorial is figures-not the kinds of figures seen on the beach or those displayed in the columns of a ledger. The figures of concern here are those included with manuscripts submitted to Optical Engineering. You might ask, "Why an editorial on figures?" I'll tell you why-because we have been receiving too many crummy ones!
