Simulations of vertically-coupled microdisk-resonators by 3-D vectorial coupled mode theory [PDF]

, 2005
Fully vectorial 3D frequency-domain simulations of vertically coupled integrated-optical microdisk-resonators are described. The 'rigorous' coupled mode theory model combines numerically computed bend modes of the cavity disk and guided modes of the ...

Using photovoice to understand community perceptions of firearm risks and protective factors among Asian Americans

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study used photovoice methodology to explore Asian Americans' perspectives on the root causes and protective factors of firearm violence in their communities. Photovoice provided a participatory platform for community members to document lived experiences and identify priorities for change.

Autonomous Control Strategy of DC Microgrid for Islanding mode using Power Line Communication [PDF]

, 2018
This paper proposes a DC-bus signaling (DBS) method for autonomous power management in a DC microgrid, used to improve its reliability. Centralized power management systems require communication between the power sources and loads.

Context‐centric proactive information delivery for Knowledge Work support: Opportunities, challenges, and directions. An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST)

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Context‐centric proactive information delivery (PID) is a relatively underexplored domain within recommender systems (RS) aimed at enhancing Knowledge Workers' productivity by proactively providing relevant information during digital tasks.

Immersive reality capabilities of relieving hiraeth

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding how immersive experiences foster a sense of presence sufficient to rival real‐world experiences remains an open research area. Prior work has largely examined episodic memory recall in simulated environments, but less is known about how immersive technologies can reconnect individuals with personal memories.

Optimal location of static var compensator device for damping oscillations [PDF]

, 2009
Problem statement: Static Var Compensators (SVC) devices are used to improve voltage and reactive power conditions in AC systems. An additional task of SVC is to increase transmission capacity as result of power oscillation damping.

Community intermediary strategies and tactics to close digital divides and enhance equitable technology use in everyday life

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Online technologies are required for accessing essential services, such as healthcare, transportation, and education. Challenges to online technology access can prevent resource‐constrained communities from connecting to these services. Human intermediaries who act in the middle space between technology and the person using the technology may ...

Prescribing competence: The pros and cons of different methods for assessment

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Evaluating a medical graduate’s competence in rational prescribing is challenging. With the aim to guide and inspire teachers, this narrative review explores different methods that can be used to assess prescribing competence. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and thus a mix of different assessment methods is needed throughout the ...

Practical effects in the preparation of cluster states using weak non-linearities

, 2007
We discuss experimental effects in the implementation of a recent scheme for performing bus mediated entangling operations between qubits. Here a bus mode, a strong coherent state, successively undergoes weak Kerr-type non-linear interactions with qubits.

A scheme for tunable quantum phase gate and effective preparation of graph-state entanglement [PDF]

, 2008
A scheme is presented for realizing a quantum phase gate with three-level atoms, solid-state qubits--often called artificial atoms, or ions that share a quantum data bus such as a single mode field in cavity QED system or a collective vibrational state ...
