The localized and intense electromagnetic hotspots afforded by plasmonic resonances in nano-scaled metallic objects have led to many exciting biomedical applications. The equivalence between nanoplasmonic hotspots, and those due to morphology-dependent resonances in high-index dielectrics is a promising avenue of nanophotonic research. In the microwave frequency regime water is such a material...
A full scale model roadway has been installed in the Coastal Wave Basin of the Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering facilities at the National Research Council in Ottawa in an effort to better understand the conveyance of catch basin covers. A total of eighty (80) catch basin rating curves were obtained for eight (8) different catch basin covers for various road configurations. The roads were...
State-based negative feedback is a control strategy employed by built and natural systems alike to stabilize their dynamics around a desired state--everything from flocking birds to the synchronous rotation of power generators. Usually, this process requires continuous control input to counteract deviations from the target state, which can be invasive and demand considerable amount of energy....
The development of sensors for new tracking detectors requires characterisation for a range of performance criteria like active area, inter-pixel inefficiencies and homogeneity, which have traditionally only been accessible through measurements in particle beams. In order to achieve sufficient position resolution, particle beam tests require extensive setups for particle tracking, which limit...
