Size dependence of second-harmonic scattering from nanoparticles: Disentangling surface and electrostatic contributions

Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Bingxin Chu

Polarimetric angle-resolved second-harmonic scattering (AR-SHS) is an all-optical tool enabling the study of unlabeled interfaces of nano-sized particles in an aqueous solution. As the second harmonic signal is modulated by interference between nonlinear c ...

An Efficient Signal-to-noise Approximation for Eccentric Inspiraling Binaries

Alexandra Shelest

Eccentricity has emerged as a potentially useful tool for helping to identify the origin of black hole mergers. However, eccentric templates can be computationally very expensive owing to the large number of harmonics, making statistical analyses to distin ...

A Cryo-CMOS Oscillator With an Automatic Common-Mode Resonance Calibration for Quantum Computing Applications

Edoardo Charbon

This article presents a 4-to-5 GHz LC oscillator operating at 4.2K for quantum computing applications. The phase noise (PN) specification of the oscillator is derived based on the control fidelity for a single-qubit operation. To reveal the substantial gap ...

EEG rhythms in long-lasting spatio-temporal feature integration

Michael Herzog, David Pascucci, Maëlan Quentin Menétrey

Pre-stimulus brain activity is thought to modulate visual perception. However, the nature of this modulation remains debated. In particular, the use of paradigms with very brief and weak stimuli complicates a univocal understanding. Here we focus on phenom ...

Evidence of Smaller 1/F Noise in AlScN-Based Oscillators Compared to AlN-Based Oscillators

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andrea Lozzi, Marco Liffredo

In this paper we investigate the direct effect of resonator quality factor (Q) on the oscillator phase noise. We use 2-port contour mode resonators (CMRs), fabricated both with aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum scandium nitride (AlScN), as the frequency- ...

Design of active Multiple-degrees-of-freedom electroacoustic resonators for use as broadband sound absorbers

Hervé Lissek, Sami Driss Karkar, Romain Boulandet, Etienne Thierry Jean-Luc Rivet

We present a novel control method achieving stable multiple-degrees-of-freedom electroacoustic resonators. Such broadband absorbers, composed of a feedback-controlled electrodynamic loudspeaker, have many practical applications to real-world acoustic engin ...

An information-theoretical perspective on weighted ensemble forecasts

Steven Vincent Weijs, Nicolaas Cornelis van de Giesen

This paper presents an information--theoretical method for weighting ensemble forecasts with new information. Weighted ensemble forecasts can be used to adjust the distribution that an existing ensemble of time series represents, without modifying the valu ...

COSMOGRAIL: the COSmological MOnitoring of GRAvItational Lenses XIII. Time delays and 9-yr optical monitoring of the lensed quasar RX J1131-1231

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Nicolas Jacques Joseph Marie Cantale

We present the results from nine years of optically monitoring the gravitationally lensed z(QSO) = 0.658 quasar RX J1131-1231. The R-band light curves of the four individual images of the quasar were obtained using deconvolution photometry for a total of 7 ...

On dynamic stream weighting for Audio-Visual Speech Recognition

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Virginia Estellers Casas, Mihai Gurban

The integration of audio and visual information improves speech recognition performance, specially in the presence of noise. In these circumstances it is necessary to introduce audio and visual weights to control the contribution of each modality to the re ...

Network community-detection enhancement by proper weighting

Martin Hasler, Ali Ajdari Rad, Alireza Khadivi

In this article, we show how proper assignment of weights to the edges of a complex network can enhance the detection of communities and how it can circumvent the resolution limit and the extreme degeneracy problems associated with modularity. Our general ...

Geodesic Active Fields : A Geometric Framework for Image Registration

Dominique Zosso

Image registration is the concept of mapping homologous points in a pair of images. In other words, one is looking for an underlying deformation field that matches one image to a target image. The spectrum of applications of image registration is extremely ...

Comparison of low-frequency background noise cancellation systems for room acoustics

Hervé Lissek, François Aballéa, Pierre-Jean René

Low frequency background noise (below 200 Hz) is perceptible in many situations such as in room acoustics or industrials issues. Generate by numerous type of source (traffic noise, aircraft, industrial plants, electricity transformer,… ), this type of nois ...
