Geometrical enhancement of the electric field: Application of fractional calculus in nanoplasmonics

We developed an analytical approach, for a wave propagation in metal-dielectric nanostructures in the quasi-static limit. This consideration establishes a link between fractional geometry of the nanostructure and fractional integro-differentiation. The method is based on fractional calculus and permits to obtain analytical expressions for the electric field enhancement.Comment: Published in EP

Theory of one-dimensional double-barrier quantum pump in two-frequency signal regime

A one-dimensional system with two $\delta$-like barriers or wells bi-chromaticaly oscillating at frequencies $\omega$ and $2\omega$ is considered. The alternating signal leads to the direct current across the structure (even in a symmetric system). The properties of this quantum pump are studied in a wide range of the system parameters.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure

Recent Spine Damage Awards

Spinal injuries generally include trauma to the vertebrae, the intervertebral discs and the ligaments which serve to hold the spinal column together. For the purpose of avoiding duplication this paper will confine itself to the subjects of fractures and dislocations of the vertebrae, injuries to the discs and direct injuries to the spinal cord, excluding discussion of soft tissue back injuries and injuries of the cervical or neck area generally referred to as whiplash injuries

Insurance Company Interference in Personal Injury Law Practice

The cloak of immunity that the insurance companies wear, and the fact that recently a trend has been noticed encouraging settlements, results in attorneys, finding their just fees diminished by the interference of third persons not in privity with the attorney-client contract, being compelled to find other means of redressing the wrongs thus perpetrated against them
