Magnetoresistance of doped silicon
We have performed longitudinal magnetoresistance measurements on heavily
n-doped silicon for donor concentrations exceeding the critical value for the
metal-non-metal transition. The results are compared to those from a many-body
theory where the donor-electrons are assumed to reside at the bottom of the
many-valley conduction band of the host. Good qualitative agreement between
theory and experiment is obtained.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
Untying the Mother Tongue
Untying the Mother Tongue explores what it might mean today to speak of someone's attachment to a particular, primary language. Traditional conceptions of mother tongue are often seen as an expression of the ideology of a European nation-state. Yet, current celebrations of multilingualism reflect the recent demands of global capitalism, raising other challenges. The contributions from international scholars on literature, philosophy, and culture, analyze and problematize the concept of ‘mother tongue’, rethinking affective and cognitive attachments to language while deconstructing its metaphysical, capitalist, and colonialist presuppositions.Introduction | ANTONIO CASTORE AND FEDERICO DAL BO | 1-9But You Don’t Get Used to Anything: Derrida on the Preciousness of the Singular | DEBORAH ACHTENBERG | 11-24Philosophy’s Mother Envy: Has There Yet Been a Deconstruction of the Mother Tongue? | MICHAEL ENG | 25-43‘My Mother Tongue Is a Foreign Language’: On Edmond Jabès’s Writing in Exile | FEDERICO DAL BO | 45-83The Mother Tongue at School | JAKOB NORBERG | 85-103Scarspeak: Thinking the Mother Tongue as a Formative Mark | JULIANE PRADE-WEISS | 105-126The Shuffling of Feet on the Pavement: Virginia Woolf on Un-Learning the Mother Tongue | TERESA PRUDENTE | 127-153‘I know you can cant’: Slips of the Mother Tongue in Fred Moten’s B Jenkins | JEFFREY CHAMPLIN | 155-163The Mother Tongue of Love and Loss: Albert Cohen’s Le Livre de ma mère | CAROLINE SAUTER | 165-179The Staircase Wit: or, The Poetic Idiomaticity of Herta Müller’s Prose | ANTONIO CASTORE | 181-210Wandering Words: Translation against the Myth of Origin in Fritz Mauthner’s Philosophy | LIBERA PISANO | 211-227ReferencesNotes on the ContributorsIndexUntying the Mother Tongue, ed. by Antonio Castore and Federico Dal Bo, Cultural Inquiry, 26 (Berlin: ICI Berlin Press, 2023) <https://doi.org/10.37050/ci-26

An Empirical Air-to-Ground Channel Model Based on Passive Measurements in LTE
In this paper, a recently conducted measurement campaign for
unmanned-aerial-vehicle (UAV) channels is introduced. The downlink signals of
an in-service long-time-evolution (LTE) network which is deployed in a suburban
scenario were acquired. Five horizontal and five vertical flight routes were
considered. The channel impulse responses (CIRs) are extracted from the
received data by exploiting the cell specific signals (CRSs). Based on the
CIRs, the parameters of multipath components (MPCs) are estimated by using a
high-resolution algorithm derived according to the space-alternating
generalized expectation-maximization (SAGE) principle. Based on the SAGE
results, channel characteristics including the path loss, shadow fading, fast
fading, delay spread and Doppler frequency spread are thoroughly investigated
for different heights and horizontal distances, which constitute a stochastic
model.Comment: 15 pages, submitted version to IEEE Transactions on Vehicular
