One of the key predictions of the nonlocal photopolymerization driven diffusion (NPDD) model is that a reduction in the extent of the nonlocal effects within a material will improve the high spatial frequency response.

This paper presents the results of ongoing research on the mechanical performance of a 20mm binder course asphalt pavement mix incorporating recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). A series of binder course mixes were designed ...
We present an analytical model of the dynamics of spatial harmonics of holographic grating profiles, taking into consideration record mechanisms (polymerization and components diffusion), absorption, interference pattern ...
Interferometric methods are widely used in surface metrology. A question that arises is how much information about the surface can be extracted from a given interferogram. For examination of the resolution limit ...
At present there is a global concern of environmental issues and future energy supplies, for instance global warming and the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. This trepidation has initiated a more critical investigation ...
Bang-bang phase-locked loops (BBPLLs) are a class of PLLs with a binary-quantized phase detector (BPD). They are widely used in clock and data recovery circuits and have
recently been implemented as digital BBPLLs for ...
We perform a numerical analysis on the double random phase encryption/decryption technique. The key-space of an encryption technique is the set of possible keys that can be used to encode data using that
technique. In the ...
In this paper, we study the behaviour of a MEMS oscillator by applying methods of
nonlinear dynamics. We model the system as a kicked damped oscillator and obtain the iterative maps that describe the MEMS system. The ...
The Fourier plane encryption algorithm is subjected to a known-plaintext attack. The simulated annealing heuristic algorithm is used to estimate the key, using a known plaintext-ciphertext pair, which decrypts
the ciphertext ...
This paper shows how an unwanted limit cycle can be exhibited by a second-order CMOS companding filter. The filter employs the quasi-quadratic law of the MOS transistor in strong inversion and saturation to achieve compression ...
We describe the mathematical model of a digitally controlled buck converter. This model is an autonomous discrete-time
discontinuous piecewise-linear dynamical system in three dimensions. Investigating this system, we ...
Based on the formal analysis of a resonant electrostatic vibration energy harvester operating in constant-charge mode with a gap-closing transducer, we show that the system displays universal behaviour patterns. In this ...
In this paper, we derive linearized discrete-time models of higher order Charge-Pump Phase-Locked Loops (CPPLLs). The behaviour of CP-PLLs in the steady state is analysed
and an important feature is developed. The nonlinear ...
Lucky imaging, used with some success in astronomical and even horizontal-path imaging, relies on fleeting conditions of the atmosphere that allow momentary improvements in image quality, at least in portions of an image. ...
The optical fractional Fourier transform (OFRT) in combination with speckle photography has previously been used to measure the magnitude of surface tilting and translation. Previous OFRT techniques used
to determine ...
We describe holographic grating formation in Acrylamide-based photopolymer material using the NonLocal Diffusion Driven model & discuss radical suppression leading to an inhibition period before grating growth. Diffusion ...
Prudent use of existing transmission capacity could be achieved by an optimal allocation of wind capacity to distinct transmission nodes. The statistical interdependency of geographically separate wind sites and the ...
In this work, we consider a system that consists of a microresonator and a ΣΔ type feedback loop control which is typically a part of inertial sensors. We describe this architecture as a dynamical system (an iterative ...
The development of a theoretical model of the processes present during the formation of a
holographic grating in photopolymer materials is crucial in enabling further development of
holographic applications. To achieve ...
Photosensitive polymers are of practical importance, and mass transport within such materials plays a critical role in their behavior. Building on the work in Part I [J. Opt. Soc. Am. B doc. ID 136413 (posted 5 January ...
