Variation of the Diameter of the Sun as Measured by the Solar Disk Sextant (SDS)
, 2013 The balloon-borne Solar Disk Sextant (SDS) experiment has measured the angular size of the Sun on seven occasions spanning the years 1992 to 2011. The solar half-diameter -- observed in a 100-nm wide passband centred at 615 nm -- is found to vary over ...

Hamiltonian cycles and subsets of discounted occupational measures
, 2019 We study a certain polytope arising from embedding the Hamiltonian cycle problem in a discounted Markov decision process. The Hamiltonian cycle problem can be reduced to finding particular extreme points of a certain polytope associated with the input ...

STUDY ON REINFORCEMENT OF SPLITTING TIMBER BY DRIVING WEDGE TEST
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering (Transactions of AIJ), 2008 A method of driving wedge test was proposed in order to qualify the effect of reinforcement on splitting strength of timber. The wedge was quasi-statically driven into timber in its longitudinal direction by structural testing machine, during which the load and displacement were measured until splitting failure.

Determination of Fracture Properties of Concrete Using Size and Boundary Effect Models
Applied Sciences, 2019 Tensile strength and fracture toughness are two essential material parameters for the study of concrete fracture. The experimental procedures to measure these two fracture parameters might be complicated due to their dependence on the specimen size or ...

Transmission properties in waveguides: An optical streamline analysis [PDF]
, 2012 A novel approach to study transmission through waveguides in terms of optical streamlines is presented. This theoretical framework combines the computational performance of beam propagation methods with the possibility to monitor the passage of light ...

Demonstration of an erbium doped microdisk laser on a silicon chip [PDF]
, 2006 An erbium doped micro-laser is demonstrated utilizing $\mathrm{SiO_{2}}$ microdisk resonators on a silicon chip. Passive microdisk resonators exhibit whispering gallery type (WGM) modes with intrinsic optical quality factors of up to $6\times{10^{7 ...

Quantum Extremal Surfaces: Holographic Entanglement Entropy beyond the Classical Regime
, 2015 We propose that holographic entanglement entropy can be calculated at arbitrary orders in the bulk Planck constant using the concept of a "quantum extremal surface": a surface which extremizes the generalized entropy, i.e.
