Modal makeup of transmission eigenchannels

Transmission eigenchannels and quasi-normal modes are powerful bases for describing wave transport and controlling transmission and energy storage in disordered media. Here we elucidate the connection between these approaches by expressing the transmission matrix (TM) at a particular frequency as a sum of TMs for individual modes drawn from a broad spectral range. The wide range of transmission eigenvalues and correlation frequencies of eigenchannels of transmission is explained by the increasingly off-resonant excitation of modes contributing to eigenchannels with decreasing transmission and by the phasing between these contributions

PENGARUH REWARD DAN PUNISHMENT TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN DENGAN MOTIVASI SEBAGAI VARIABEL INTERVENING (Studi Pada CV RIVALD)

This research aims and focuses on determining the effect of reward and punishment on employee performance with work motivation as an intervening variable. The population in this study were all CV employees. Rivald is in the sales department with a sample size of 79 employees. The type of research used is the survey method. The data collection technique used is probability sampling technique by distributing questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out using path analysis with the help of the SPSS 29 statistical program. From the results of data analysis it was found that reward and punishment had a significant effect on employee performance, reward and punishment had a significant effect on work motivation, work motivation had a significant effect on employee performance, and Motivation is able to intervene in reward punishment and employee performance

Statistics and control of waves in disordered media

Fundamental concepts in the quasi-one-dimensional geometry of disordered wires and random waveguides in which ideas of scaling and the transmission matrix were first introduced are reviewed. We discuss the use of the transmission matrix to describe the scaling, fluctuations, delay time, density of states, and control of waves propagating through and within disordered systems. Microwave measurements, random matrix theory calculations, and computer simulations are employed to study the statistics of transmission and focusing in single samples and the scaling of the probability distribution of transmission and transmittance in random ensembles. Finally, we explore the disposition of the energy density of transmission eigenchannels inside random media.Comment: 28 Pages, 18 Figures (Review

The California Supreme Court\u27s Decision in Barrett v. Rosenthal: How the Court\u27s Decision Could Further Hamper Efforts to Restrict Defamation on the Internet

In November 2006, the California Supreme Court ruled in Barrett v. Rosenthal that Internet users are immune from liability when they post or forward online information that is defamatory. The court cited section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency (CDA) Act as precedent for its decision. The law grants immunity to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other users for any offensive material posted on their online interactive computer services. This article analyzes the Barrett ruling and argues that it leaves three questions unanswered: (1) How does the CDA apply to conspiracies between two users of the Internet where one is an unknown publisher and the other poses as a distributor of offensive material?; (2) By federal law, is an individual third party user of defamatory material virtually the same as an ISP and, therefore, not held responsible for the defamatory information?; and (3) Does the Barrett decision make online defamation more likely? In answering these questions, this article reviews three federal court decisions involving the CDA and online defamation. This article argues that while Congress\u27s intent in the CDA pertained to granting immunity to ISPs for offensive content, the CDA also leaves the door open for individuals to knowingly post or forward defamatory information on the Internet
