External losses in photoemission from strongly correlated quasi two-dimensional solids
New expressions are derived for photoemission, which allow experimental
electron energy loss data to be used for estimating losses in photoemission.
The derivation builds on new results for dielectric response and mean free
paths of strongly correlated systems of two dimensional layers. Numerical
evaluations are made for (Bi2212) by using a
parametrized loss function. The mean free path for Bi2212 is calculated and
found to be substantially larger than obtained by Norman et al in a recent
paper. The photocurrent is expressed as the convolution of the intrinsic
approximation for the current from a specific 2D layer with an effective loss
function. The observed current is the sum of such currents from the first few
layers. The photo electron from a specific layer is found to excite low
energy acoustic plasmon modes due to the coupling between the layers.
These modes give rise to an asymmetric power law broadening of the photo
current an isolated two dimensional layer would have given. We define an
asymmetry index where a contribution from a Luttinger lineshape is additive to
the contribution from our broadening function. Already the loss effect
considered here gives broadening comparable to what is observed experimentally.
A superconductor with a gapped loss function is predicted to have a
peak-dip-hump lineshape similar to what has been observed, and with the same
qualitative behavior as predicted in the recent work by Campuzano et al.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figure

Risk reduction and real estate portfolio size
Despite a number of papers that discuss the advantages of increased size on risk levels in real estate portfolios there is remarkably little empirical evidence based on actual portfolios. The objective of this paper is to remedy this deficiency by examining the portfolio risk of a large sample of actual property data over the period 1981 to 1996. The results show that all that can be said is that portfolios of properties of a large size, on the average, tend to have lower risks than small sized portfolios. More importantly portfolios of a few properties can have very high or very low risk
Quantitative absorption and fluorescence studies of NO between 1060 and 2000 A
Synchrotron radiation in the 1060 to 2000 A region was used to measure the average absorption and fluorescence cross sections of NO and to determine approximate photodissociation quantum yields. Several vibrational levels of the D(2) sigma(+), E(2) sigma(+), and B(2) delta states have high fluorescence quantum yields. The C(2) and B(2) states do not fluoresce when the excitation energies are above the first dissociation limit, in accord with previous experiments. In general, the fluorescence yields decrease with increasing photon energy. The quantitative measurements are compared with spectroscopic observations and are found to be reasonably consistent
Optimal Lattice-Reduction Aided Successive Interference Cancellation for MIMO Systems
In this letter, we investigated the optimal minimummean-squared-error (MMSE) based successive interference cancellation (SIC) strategy designed for lattice-reduction aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detectors. For the sake of generating the MMSE-based MIMO symbol estimate at each SIC detection stage, we model the so-called effective symbols generated with the aid of lattice-reduction as joint Gaussian distributed random variables. However, after lattice-reduction, the effective symbols become correlated and exhibit a non-zero mean. Hence, we derive the optimal MMSE SIC detector, which updates the mean and variance of the effective symbols at each SIC detection stage. As a result, the proposed detector achieves a better performance compared to its counterpart dispensing with updating the mean and variance, and performs close to the maximum likelihood detector.

Interference cancellation assisted lattice-reduction aided detection for MIMO systems
In this paper, we proposed and investigated the optimal successive interference cancellation (SIC) strategy designed for lattice-reduction-aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detectors. For the sake of generating the optimal MIMO symbol estimate at each SIC detection stage, we model the so-called effective symbols generated with the aid of lattice-reduction as joint Gaussian distributed random variables. However, after lattice-reduction, the effective symbols become correlated and exhibit a non-zero mean. Hence, we derive the optimal minimum-mean-squared-error (MMSE) SIC detector, which updates the mean and variance of the effective symbols at each SIC detection stage. As a result, the proposed detector achieves an approximately 3 dB Eb/N0 gain and performs close to the maximum likelihood detector

MAS platforms as an enabler of enterprise mobilisation: The state of the art
One of the main application areas for multi-agent systems technology is enterprise mobilization, wherein the main business process actors are nomadic workers. An agent's autonomy, sociality and intelligence are highly prized features when it comes to supporting those mobile workers who are geographically isolated from the main knowledge source (i.e. the corporate Intranet) and are frequently moving from one location to another. Based on experience gained from two field trials of applications (built using for multi-agent systems technology and running on lightweight handheld devices) that support mobile business processes for telecommunications service provisioning and maintenance, this paper proposes desirable metrics for any multi-agent systems platform intended for enterprise mobilisation use. These metrics are then used to compare a number of existing multi-agent systems platforms, and based on the results, this paper identifies some areas for improvement
