Invariant tori and Lagrange stability of pendulum-type equations
No full textAbstractIn this paper we prove that the pendulum-type equation x″ + g(t, x) = 0 possesses infinitely many invariant tori whenever g(t, x) has zero mean value on the torus T2, where g(t, x) belongs to C∞(T2). This yields the boundedness for solutions of the considered pendulum-type equation and thus leads to an answer to J. Moser's boundedness problem (1973, Ann. of Math. Stud. 77)
Witnesses who use British Sign Language
No full textThe legal process assumes that the legal professionals will be able to communicate with their clients, the police will be able to take statements from those who understand what they are saying and the court expects the participants to be able to explain themselves directly. However, when a witness is born Deaf, uses British Sign Language and is a member of the Deaf community, then a different form of interaction is required. This chapter examines the roots of legal practice in dealing with Deaf people and traces the significant arguments and circumstances from the 13th century to the present time.The legal process assumes that the legal professionals will be able to communicate with their clients, the police will be able to take statements from those who understand what they are saying and the court expects the participants to be able to explain themselves directly.

The charged and the spin-excitation gaps in the double-exchange model: a rigorous result
No full textWe extend a previous result of ours [G.S. Tian, Phys. Rev. B58 (1998) 7612] on the charged gap and the spin-excitation gap of the half-filled Kondo lattice model to the double-exchange model. In our original approach, this model cannot be dealt with since its localized spins have a large spin number S = 3/2. By following a construction argument due to Zener and rewriting the double-exchange Hamiltonian, we are able to overcome this difficulty and re-establish the same relation for this model.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000088659700004&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)中国科学引文数据库(CSCD)3ARTICLE121-303
A 2-watt balanced power amplifier MMIC for Ku-band satellite communications
No full textA Ku-band power amplifier MMIC has been developed using 0.25-mum GaAs pHEMT technology. To achieve small chip size and simple drain-bias connection, a bus-bar power combiner is used. Also, balanced-power amplifier topology is used to obtain good input/ output return losses. The small-signal gain is about 15 dB and the gain variation is less than 1 dB from 12 to 17 GHz. Good input/output return losses are achieved at less than -15 dB due to the balanced topology. P-IdB of 32.6 dBm and PAE of 23.5% are achieved at 14 GHz. The effective chip area is 4.2 X 3.2 mm. Because the power amplifier is implemented using the balanced topology with the bus-bar power combiner, compact size, high output power, and good input/output return losses can be achieved simultaneously.

Least squares estimation of joint production functions by the differential evolution method of global optimization
No full textMost of the studies relating to estimation of joint production functions have noted two difficulties: first that allocation of inputs to different outputs is not known, and the second that a method of estimation cannot have more than one dependent variable, which necessitates construction of a composite output transformation function. This study has conducted some simulation experiments on joint estimation of the CES, the Transcendental and the Nerlove-Ringstad functions. Allocation parameters of inputs across the products have been introduced. Estimation has been done jointly, but without constructing a composite macro production function or an output transformation function. We use nonlinear least squares based on the Differential Evolution method of global optimization that permits fitting multiple production functions simultaneously.
