Radio-frequency impedance measurements using a tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) technique
, 1999 A resonant method based on a tunnel-diode oscillator (TDO) for precision measurements of relative impedance changes in materials, is described. The system consists of an effective self-resonant LC-tank circuit driven by a forward-biased tunnel diode ...

Disentangling 2:1 resonant radial velocity orbits from eccentric ones and a case study for HD 27894 [PDF]
, 2015 In radial velocity observations, a pair of extrasolar planets near a 2:1 orbital resonance can be misinterpreted as a single eccentric planet, if data are sparse and measurement precision insufficient to distinguish between these models. We determine the

Preliminary findings on the experimental investigation of the small-strain behaviour of Pizzoli silty sand [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesThe dynamic properties of soils play a crucial role in solving many geotechnical problems with special attention to earthquake engineering. In particular, the small-strain soil behavior should be accurately reproduced in geotechnical modelling to allow ...

A scalar hint from the diboson excess?
, 2015 In view of the recent diboson resonant excesses reported by both ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we suggest that a new weak singlet pseudo-scalar particle, $\eta_W$, may decay into two weak bosons while being produced in gluon fusion at the LHC.

Quantifying resonant activation like phenomenon in non-Markovian systems
, 2014 Resonant activation is an effect of a noise-induced escape over a modulated potential barrier. The modulation of a energy landscape facilitates the escape kinetics and makes it optimal as measured by the mean first passage time.

Stability of three-dimensional relativistic jets: implications for jet collimation [PDF]
, 2010 The stable propagation of jets in FRII sources is remarkable if one takes into account that large-scale jets are subjected to potentially highly disruptive three-dimensional (3D) Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities.
