A Comparison of Methods for Computing the Residual Resistivity Ratio of High-Purity Niobium

A Comparison of Methods for Computing the Residual Resistivity Ratio of High-Purity Niobium

We compare methods for estimating the residual resistivity ratio (RRR) of high-purity niobium samples and investigate the effects of using different functional models on the final value. RRR is typically defined as the ratio of the electrical resistances

Optical performance monitoring of (Q)PSK data channels using artificial neural networks trained with parameters derived from delay-tap asynchronous diagrams

Optical performance monitoring of (Q)PSK data channels using artificial neural networks trained with parameters derived from delay-tap asynchronous diagrams

We demonstrate a technique of using artificial neural networks trained with parameters derived from delay-tap asynchronous diagrams for optical performance monitoring of phase shift keying (PSK) data signals. We show that asynchronous diagrams from

Ontology Summit 2010 Creating the Ontologists of the Future

The goal of the Ontology Summit 2010 was to address the current shortage of persons with ontology expertise by developing a strategy for the education of ontologists. To achieve this goal we studied how ontologists are currently trained, the requirements

Arithmetic Progressions on Edwards Curves

Arithmetic Progressions on Edwards Curves

We look at arithmetic progressions on elliptic curves known as Edwards curves. By an arithmetic progression on an elliptic curve, we mean that the x-coordinates of a sequence of rational points on the curve form an arithmetic progression. Previous work has

Minimum-Risk Layer 2 Trigger Levels for Proactive Media-Independent Handovers

Minimum-Risk Layer 2 Trigger Levels for Proactive Media-Independent Handovers

Anticipated handovers that use Link Going Down (LGD) and Link Down (LD) trigger events require the network operator to set the LGD trigger high enough that the handover completes before the LD trigger event. However, setting the LGD trigger too high can
