The effect of variation in atmospheric absorption on millimetric, terrestrial, telecommunications links (2005)
Journal Article
Paulson, K. S. (2005). The effect of variation in atmospheric absorption on millimetric, terrestrial, telecommunications links. Radio science, 40(6), Article RS6004. https://doi.org/10.1029/2004RS003218

When planning the link budget for millimeter and submillimeter wave telecommunications links, the attenuation by atmospheric gasses is taken into account. However, at millimetric frequencies above 50 GHz it may become necessary to account for the tem...

An investigation of the effect of feedback on TLM nodes representing heat transfer (2005)
Journal Article
Koay, A. L., Pulko, S. H., & Wilkinson, A. J. (2005). An investigation of the effect of feedback on TLM nodes representing heat transfer. International journal of numerical modelling, 18(6), 399-411. https://doi.org/10.1002/jnm.586

TLM is a very successful technique for modelling thermal transients in heat transfer systems. However, useful though transient modelling is, there are many systems in which the desired thermal behaviour can only be obtained by direct, real-time inter...

Amplitude and frequency estimator of a sinusoid (2005)
Journal Article
Hou, M. (2005). Amplitude and frequency estimator of a sinusoid. IEEE transactions on automatic control, 50(6), 855-858. https://doi.org/10.1109/TAC.2005.849244

A dynamic estimator with global convergence property is proposed to simultaneously reconstruct the unknown values of the amplitude, frequency, and offset of a sinusoidal signal which is measured. Several versions of the estimator along with illustrat... Read More about Amplitude and frequency estimator of a sinusoid.

Surface tension: Floater clustering in a standing wave (2005)
Journal Article
Falkovich, G., Weinberg, A., Denissenko, P., & Lukaschuk, S. (2005). Surface tension: Floater clustering in a standing wave. Nature, 435(7045), 1045-1046. https://doi.org/10.1038/4351045a

How do waves affect the distribution of small particles that float on water? Here we show that drifting small particles concentrate in either the nodes or antinodes of a standing wave, depending on whether they are hydrophilic or hydrophobic, as a re...

Tuning of electronic coupling between self-assembled quantum dots (2005)
Journal Article
Rybchenko, S., Itskevich, I., Skolnick, M. S., Cahill, J., Tartakovskii, A. I., Hill, G., & Hopkinson, M. (2005). Tuning of electronic coupling between self-assembled quantum dots. Applied physics letters, 87(3), 033104. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1995953

Semiconductor self-assembled quantum dots (SAQDs) normally have zero-dimensional properties, but become coupled and acquire higher-dimensional character if the distance between the dots is small. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy under high hydros... Read More about Tuning of electronic coupling between self-assembled quantum dots.

Observing a three-tank system (2005)
Journal Article
Hou, M., Xiong, Y., & Patton, R. (2005). Observing a three-tank system. IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 13(3), 478-484. https://doi.org/10.1109/TCST.2004.839578

Observability analysis and observer synthesis are studied for a three-tank water process. Observability of the process is considered under various assumptions on measurements. The observer design takes into account singularity of nonlinear observers.... Read More about Observing a three-tank system.
