We demonstrate a wideband-tunable Q-switched fiber laser exploiting a graphene saturable absorber. We get ∼2 μs pulses, tunable between 1522 and 1555 nm with up to ∼40 nJ energy. This is a simple and low-cost light source for metrology, environmental sensing, and biomedical diagnostics.
Ordering of the frustrated classical Heisenberg model on the triangular lattice with an incommensurate spiral structure is studied under magnetic fields by means of a mean-field analysis and a Monte Carlo simulation. Several types of multiple-q states including the Skyrmion-lattice state is observed in addition to the standard single-q state. In contrast to the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction driven system, the present model allows both Skyrmions and anti-Skyrmions, together with a new thermodynamic phase where Skyrmion and anti-Skyrmion lattices form a domain state.
Abstract:This paper is a direct continuation of [1] where we began the study of the integrable structures in Conformal Field Theory. We show here how to construct the operators ${\bf Q}_{\pm}(\lambda)$ which act in the highest weight Virasoro module and commute for different values of the parameter λ. These operators appear to be the CFT analogs of the Q - matrix of Baxter [2], in particular they satisfy Baxter's famous T- Q equation. We also show that under natural assumptions about analytic properties of the operators as the functions of λ the Baxter's relation allows one to derive the nonlinear integral equations of Destri-de Vega (DDV) [3] for the eigenvalues of the Q-operators. We then use the DDV equation to obtain the asymptotic expansions of the Q - operators at large λ; it is remarkable that unlike the expansions of the T operators of [1], the asymptotic series for Q(λ) contains the “dual” nonlocal Integrals of Motion along with the local ones. We also discuss an intriguing relation between the vacuum eigenvalues of the Q - operators and the stationary transport properties in the boundary sine-Gordon model. On this basis we propose a number of new exact results about finite voltage charge transport through the point contact in the quantum Hall system.
SUMMARY The 2007–2009 human Q fever epidemic in The Netherlands attracted attention due to its magnitude and duration. The current epidemic and the historical background of Q fever in The Netherlands are reviewed according to national and international publications. Seroprevalence studies suggest that Q fever was endemic in The Netherlands several decades before the disease was diagnosed in dairy goats and dairy sheep. This was in 2005 and the increase in humans started in 2007. Q fever abortions were registered on 30 dairy goat and dairy sheep farms between 2005 and 2009. A total of 3523 human cases were notified between 2007 and 2009. Proximity to aborting small ruminants and high numbers of susceptible humans are probably the main causes of the human Q fever outbreak in The Netherlands. In general good monitoring and surveillance systems are necessary to assess the real magnitude of Q fever.
The vast majority of work on waveguide-coupled resonators focuses on decreasing losses in the waveguide and coupling region. Here we present fully integrated resonators based on an ultralow-loss Si3N4 waveguide platform. By tailoring the directional coupler excitation to the resonators, we are able to achieve lower loss single-mode coupling to multimode waveguide widths compared to straight bus waveguide directional couplers. This allows us to demonstrate record-high integrated waveguide coupled intrinsic quality factor (Qint) values of 81 million at a 9.65 mm bend radius, with a future direction to both stronger and lower loss waveguide–resonator coupling. This result opens up integration possibilities for narrow linewidth integrated diode lasers, low noise feedback systems, microwave photonic research, and the ultrastable timing reference community.
By making use of the concept of basic (or q-) calculus, various families of q-extensions of starlike functions, which are associated with the Janowski functions in the open unit disk U, were introduced and studied from many different viewpoints and perspectives. In this paper, we first investigate the relationship between various known families of q-starlike functions which are associated with the Janowski functions. We then introduce and study a new subclass of q-starlike functions which involves the Janowski functions and is related with the conic domain. We also derive several properties of such families of q-starlike functions with negative coefficients including (for example) sufficient conditions, inclusion results and distortion theorems. In the last section on conclusion, we choose to point out the fact that the results for the q-analogues, which we consider in this article for 0 < q < 1, can easily (and possibly trivially) be translated into the corresponding results for the (p; q)-analogues (with 0 < q < p ?? 1) by applying some obvious parametric and argument variations, the additional parameter p being redundant.
In this paper, the authors introduce a new subclass of meromorphic q-starlike functions which are associated with the Janowski functions. A characterization of meromorphically q-starlike functions associated with the Janowski functions has been obtained when the coefficients in their Laurent series expansion about the origin are all positive. This leads to a study of coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, partial sums, and the radius of starlikeness estimates for this class. It is seen that the class considered demonstrates, in some respects, properties analogous to those possessed by the corresponding class of univalent analytic functions with negative coefficients.

This paper provides a new deterministic Q-learning with a presumed knowledge about the distance from the current state to both the next state and the goal. This knowledge is efficiently used to update the entries in the Q-table once only by utilizing four derived properties of the Q-learning, instead of repeatedly updating them like the classical Q-learning. Naturally, the proposed algorithm has an insignificantly small time complexity in comparison to its classical counterpart. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm stores the Q-value for the best possible action at a state and thus saves significant storage. Experiments undertaken on simulated maze and real platforms confirm that the Q-table obtained by the proposed Q-learning when used for the path-planning application of mobile robots outperforms both the classical and the extended Q-learning with respect to three metrics: traversal time, number of states traversed, and 90° turns required. The reduction in 90° turnings minimizes the energy consumption and thus has importance in the robotics literature.
Using the theory of functions of several complex variables, we prove that if an analytic function in several variables satisfies a system of q-partial differential equations, then, it can be expanded in terms of the product of the Rogers-Szegý o poly- nomials. This expansion theorem allows us to develop a general method for proving q-identities. A general q-transformation formula is derived, which implies Watson's q-analog of Whipple's theorem as a special case. A multilinear generating function for the Rogers-Szegý o polynomials is given. The theory of q-exponential operator is revisited.
The Deep Q-Network proposed by Mnih et al. [2015] has become a benchmark and building point for much deep reinforcement learning research. However, replicating results for complex systems is often challenging since original scientific publications are not always able to describe in detail every important parameter setting and software engineering solution. In this paper, we present results from our work reproducing the results of the DQN paper. We highlight key areas in the implementation that were not covered in great detail in the original paper to make it easier for researchers to replicate these results, including termination conditions and gradient descent algorithms. Finally, we discuss methods for improving the computational performance and provide our own implementation that is designed to work with a range of domains, and not just the original Arcade Learning Environment [Bellemare et al., 2013].
The NLO corrections to the DIS structure functions $F_2$ and $F_L$ (or equivalently the photon-target cross sections $\sigma^{\gamma^*}_{T}$ and $\sigma^{\gamma^*}_{L}$) at low $x_{Bj}$ are obtained, as a generalization of the dipole factorization formula. For the first time, the contributions of both the $q\bar{q}$ and the $q\bar{q}g$ Fock states in the photon are directly calculated, using earlier results for the $q\bar{q}$ light-front wave-functions at one loop inside a dressed virtual photon. Both the $q\bar{q}$ and the $q\bar{q}g$ contributions have UV divergences, which are shown to cancel each other, using conventional dimensional regularization as UV regulator. Finally, the resummation of high-energy logarithms on top of the NLO results for $\sigma^{\gamma^*}_{T}$ and $\sigma^{\gamma^*}_{L}$ is discussed.
