    Method for characterizing single photon detectors in saturation regime by cw laser

    No full text
    We derive an analytical expression for the count probability of a single photon detector for a wide range of input optical power that includes afterpulsing effects. We confirm the validity of the expression by fitting it to the data obtained from a saturated commercial Single Photon Detector by illuminating it with a cw laser. Detector efficiency and afterpulsing probability extracted from the fits agree with the manufacture specs for low repetition frequencies. © 2010 Optical Society of America

    Economic utopia of the Torah. Economic concepts of the Hebrew Bible interpreted according to the Rabbinical Literature

    No full text
    Hebrew Bible offers alternative Economic utopia for building Theocratic society. In this paper, various economic concepts and themes are presented, as found in the Hebrew Bible. These economic concepts include taxation, property rights, labor market, social policy, banking, years of Sabbath and Jubilee, and business cycles. Most economic issues of the Bible are found in the texts of Torah, also known as five Books of Moses. These texts are analyzed by using classical Rabbinical commentaries for better insight. Contrary to the modern Economic theory which is based on the assumptions of scarcity of resources and unlimited needs of consumers, Economics of the Torah is based on God’s resources which are enough for all true needs of His people.Hebrew Bible, History of Economics, History of Economic Thought, Ancient Israel, Judaism

    Ramsey multiplicity and the Tur\'an coloring

    No full text
    Extending an earlier conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Burr and Rosta conjectured that among all two-colorings of the edges of a complete graph, the uniformly random coloring asymptotically minimizes the number of monochromatic copies of any fixed graph HH. This conjecture was disproved independently by Sidorenko and Thomason. The first author later found quantitatively stronger counterexamples, using the Tur\'an coloring, in which one of the two colors spans a balanced complete multipartite graph. We prove that the Tur\'an coloring is extremal for an infinite family of graphs, and that it is the unique extremal coloring. This yields the first determination of the Ramsey multiplicity constant of a graph for which the Burr--Rosta conjecture fails. We also prove an analogous three-color result. In this case, our result is conditional on a certain natural conjecture on the behavior of two-color Ramsey numbers.Comment: 39 pages, final version to appear in Advances in Combinatoric

    Pavlova, Tur, and 'Razdel': What's in a Name?

    No full text
    This article concerns an authorship problem that raises issues of canonical aesthetics. What does it mean to say a literary work is ‘good’? And does knowing the author’s literary reputation affect our ability to appreciate the work? Nineteenth-century Russian critics divided women authors into ‘extraordinary women’, i.e. honorary men, and perpetrators of ‘women’s writing’—categories that have persisted in Russia. It seems useful to look at what ‘women’s writing’ is, and on what basis ‘Razdel’, regardless of its author, can be evaluate

    Tur\'{a}n numbers of general hypergraph star forests

    No full text
    Let F\mathcal{F} be a family of rr-uniform hypergraphs, and let HH be an rr-uniform hypergraph. Then HH is called F\mathcal{F}-free if it does not contain any member of F\mathcal{F} as a subhypergraph. The Tur\'{a}n number of F\mathcal{F}, denoted by exr(n,F)ex_r(n,\mathcal{F}), is the maximum number of hyperedges in an F\mathcal{F}-free nn-vertex rr-uniform hypergraph. Our current results are motivated by earlier results on Tur\'{a}n numbers of star forests and hypergraph star forests. In particular, Lidick\'{y}, Liu and Palmer [Electron. J. Combin. 20 (2013)] determined the Tur\'{a}n number ex(n,F)ex(n,F) of a star forest FF for sufficiently large nn. Recently, Khormali and Palmer [European. J. Combin. 102 (2022) 103506] generalized the above result to three different well-studied hypergraph settings, but restricted to the case that all stars in the hypergraph star forests are identical. We further generalize these results to general hypergraph star forests.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2001.05631 by other author
