Surface Waves Enhance Particle Dispersion

open access: yesFluids, 2019
We study the horizontal dispersion of passive tracer particles on the free surface of gravity waves in deep water. For random linear waves with the JONSWAP spectrum, the Lagrangian particle trajectories are computed using an exact nonlinear model known ...

Quadratic Hedging of Basis Risk [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper examines a simple basis risk model based on correlated geometric Brownian motions. We apply quadratic criteria to minimize basis risk and hedge in an optimal manner. Initially, we derive the Follmer-Schweizer decomposition of a European claim.

Effect of Cu and CuP Additions on the Microstructure and Nanoindentation‐Based Fracture Behavior of CoNiAlSi Ferromagnetic Shape Memory Alloys

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Cu and combined Cu–P microalloying refine the microstructure and enhance the nanoindentation‐derived fracture resistance of CoNiAlSi ferromagnetic shape memory alloys without suppressing the martensitic transformation. Comparative SEM, DSC, and nanoindentation results reveal that the CuP‐containing alloy provides the most balanced response, achieving ...

The Exact Cumulative Distribution Function of a Ratio of Quadratic Forms in Normal Variables with Application to the AR(1) Model. [PDF]

open access: yes
Often neither the exact density nor the exact cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a statistic of interest are available in the statistics and econometrics literature (for example the maximum likelihood estimator of the autocorrelation coefficient ...

Disorder‐Broadened Topological Hall Phase and Anomalous Hall Scaling in FeGe

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
By systematically introducing defects into FeGe via ion‐beam modification, we demonstrate that disorder broadens the temperature regime over which the topological Hall effect ‐ a signature of skyrmions or other chiral textures — appears, while also increasing its magnitude.

Probability distributions and variances of quadratic loss functions

open access: yes, 2006
The use of quadratic loss functions has been advocated in quality engineering and experimental design for process optimization and robust design. We derive theoretical density functions and variances for nominal-the-best, smaller-the-better, and larger-the-better quadratic loss functions in general and when the response variable has a specified ...

Bivariate natural exponential families with quadratic diagonal of the variance function

open access: yes, 2015
We characterize bivariate natural exponential families having the diagonal of the variance function of the form \[ \textrm{diag} V(m_1,m_2)=\left(Am_1^2+am_1+bm_2+e,Am_2^2+cm_1+dm_2+f\right), \] with $A<0$ and $a,\ldots,f\in\mathbb{R}$. The solution of the problem relies on finding the conditions under which a specific parametric family of functions

Anisotropic Phonon Dynamics and Directional Transport in Actinide Van der Waals Semiconductor Uranium Triselenide

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
USe3 is introduced as an actinide van der Waals semiconductor that mirrors the quasi‐one‐dimensional physics of transition‐metal trichalcogenides. Polarization‐resolved Raman spectroscopy on exfoliated flakes maps strong in‐plane phonon anisotropy and strain‐tunable mode shifts.

Effect of heterogeneous radio sensitivity on the survival, alpha beta ratio and biologic effective dose calculation of irradiated mammalian cell populations

open access: yesClinical and Translational Radiation Oncology, 2017
It is demonstrated that the surviving fraction of a population of cells with heterogeneous radio sensitivity, like that composing most malignant tumors, conforms to a different linear quadratic survival relation for dose less than about 3–5 Gy and dose ...

Blue Upconversion Organic Light‐Emitting Diodes Achieving 1000 cd m−2 With an Operating Voltage of 2.7 V by Suppressing Interfacial Exciton Quenching

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A triplet‐blocking layer controls triplet exciton dynamics in blue upconversion OLEDs. The layer keeps charge transfer (CT)‐generated triplet excitons inside the triplet‐triplet annihilation (TTA) host, suppresses anode‐side interfacial quenching, and increases the steady‐state triplet population.
