Theory

The principle is illustrated in Fig. 1. The definition of a snapshot is that photons reflected (or emitted) from any point on the surface of the object must arrive at the same time at the camera. Let a photon be emitted from point B at t=0…

Our model combines two well-studied problems to capture the network effects involved in (1) logical constraints between decisions and (2) social consensus. We call a “decision” any issue that requires an action in the form of a hard or soft…

Analogue computing aims to replicate complex phenomena without any direct interaction with the original system. Fundamentally, a successful emulator requires tunable control operations as well as control over the initial state of the simulation….

Data collection and preprocessing

We sampled Japanese-language reposts from Twitter (currently X) via the streaming API from October 1 to 31, 2021. We chose Japanese posts as the objects of analysis for the following reasons:

Capacitive sensors with high sensitivity to wide pressure range

In developing a capacitive pressure sensor capable of functioning as a tactile sensory receptor, it is crucial to achieve high sensitivity across a wide stimulus range. Introducing…

Static performance

The static electro-optic performance of the modulator was assessed in the O-band. For different bias voltages between  −3 and  −1 V the extinction ratio (ER) calculated with reference to the 0 V case is plotted in…

Our framework involves polymer glasses with short chains to avoid entanglement effects. Beads belonging to the same chain interact via harmonic covalent bonds. Non-consecutive beads and beads from different chains interact attractively,…
