Abstract: We propose a systematic and efficient extension of the multimodal transfer-matrix method to obtain the dispersion diagram of structures with 2-D periodicity specifically targeted to ...

Abstract: To explore the anisotropic nature and improve computational efficiency, eigenvalue (EV-) analysis is adopted to implement the transfer matrix method (TMM), abbreviated as EV-TMM, enabling ...

The Q-matrix serves as a bridge that links items and attributes, and its accuracy affects the results of cognitive diagnosis. Inaccuracy of the Q-matrix are a common issue frequently encountered in ...

Last month, Nielsen introduced its new "Big Data + Panel" measurement, which combines ratings data from traditional households with statistics from smart TVs and set-top boxes. Nielsen's new system ...

Researchers develop a porous material that expands the applicability of the crystalline sponge method. (Nanowerk News) A new metal–organic framework (MOF), APF-80, enables the crystalline sponge ...

Ernest Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, infamously sank in Antarctica — and now a new study finds that it had known flaws. The infamous ship Endurance, which sank in Antarctica in 1915, wasn't as ...

A novel spectroscopic method developed at Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, enables highly sensitive analysis of molecules at material interfaces, using a combination of conventional ATR-IR, precise ...
