In this paper, the magnetic-field dependence of low-lying spectra of a single-electron magnetic quantum ring and dot, formed by inhomogeneous magnetic fields, are calculated using the numerical diagonalization scheme. The effects of on-center acceptor and donor impurities are also considered. In the presence of an acceptor impurity, transitions in the orbital angular momentum, L, are found for both the magnetic quantum ring and the magnetic quantum dot when the magnetic field is varied.

Feature tracking in large data sets is traditionally an off-line, batch processing operation while virtual reality typically focuses on highly interactive tasks and applications. This paper presents an approach that uses a combination of off-line preprocessing and interactive visualization in VR to simplify and speed up the identification of interesting features for further study. We couch the discussion in terms of our collaborative research on using virtual reality for cumulus cloud life-cycle studies, where selecting suitable clouds for study is simple for the skilled observer but difficult to formalize. The preprocessing involves identifying individual clouds within the data set through a 4D connected components algorithm, and then saving isosurface, bounding box, and volume information. This information is then interactively visualized in our VR Cloud Explorer with various tools and information displays to identify the most interesting clouds. In a small pilot study, reasonable performance, both in the preprocessing phase and the visualization phase, has been measured.

In this paper, we present a new scheme to reduce the communications requirements to send message authentication tags (MAC's), by sending the MAC's over direct sequence spread spectrum wireless channels. We greatly reduce the number of chips required by considering the chip sequence as a whole. In one example, based on the IS-95 CDMA digital cellular standard, we reduce the chips needed from 3072 to 1142 by a hard decision decoding scheme, and to 728 by a soft decision decoding scheme, achieving savings of factors about three and four, respectively.

The modulation spectrum is a promising method to incorporate dynamic information in pattern classification. It contains important cues about the nonstationary content of a signal and yields complementary improvements when it is combined with conventional features derived from short-term analysis. Many prior modulation spectrum approaches are based on uniform modulation frequency decomposition. The drawbacks of these approaches are high dimensionality and a lack of a connection to human perception of modulation. The paper presents multi-scale modulation frequency decomposition and shows an improvement over the standard modulation spectrum in a digital communication signal classification task. Features derived from this representation provide lower classification error rates than those from a constant-bandwidth modulation spectrum, whether used alone or in combination with short-term features.

This paper presents the design of a robust iterative learning controller for the case of a plant with interval model uncertainty in the "A-matrix" of its state space description. First order perturbation theory is utilized to find bounds on the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the powers of A when A is an interval matrix. These bounds are then used for calculation of the interval uncertainty of the Markov matrix, which can then be used to design an iterative learning controller that ensures monotonic convergence for all systems in the interval plant

We study the transition from incoherence to coherence in large networks of coupled phase oscillators. We present various approximations that describe the behavior of an appropriately defined order parameter past the transition and generalize recent results for the critical coupling strength. We find that, under appropriate conditions, the coupling strength at which the transition occurs is determined by the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. We show how, with an additional assumption, a mean-field approximation recently proposed is recovered from our results. We test our theory with numerical simulations and find that it describes the transition when our assumptions are satisfied. We find that our theory describes the transition well in situations in which the mean-field approximation fails. We study the finite-size effects caused by nodes with small degree and find that they cause the critical coupling strength to increase.
