Some Quantum Dynamical Semi-groups with Quantum Stochastic Dilation
We consider the GNS Hilbert space of a uniformly hyper-finite
- algebra and study a class of unbounded Lindbladian arises from
commutators. Exploring the local structure of UHF algebra, we have shown that
the associated Hudson-Parthasarathy type quantum stochastic differential
equation admits a unitary solution. The vacuum expectation of homomorphic
co-cycle, implemented by the Hudson-Parthasarathy flow, is conservative and
gives the minimal semi-group associated with the formal Lindbladian. We also
associate conservative minimal semi-groups to another class of Lindbladian by
solving the corresponding Evan-Hudson equation
A Study Of Quality Management In Small Organizations Providing Services Directed At People
This paper reports on a study of managerial perceptions of the implementation of total quality management (TQM). Results of a survey covering small firms in northeastern Indiana providing services directed at people are presented. Aspects discussed include the unique nature of this category of service firms, TQM deployment, tools used, successes, failures, benefits, and problems encountered. The majority of respondents indicated their firms’ commitment to TQM but a significantly smaller proportion demonstrated notable engagement with and actual implementation of a formal TQM program. Even smaller percentages had benchmarked internal quality standards, used TQM tools and quality-enhancing activities, rewarded employees for successful quality performance, and involved suppliers in their quality programs. Strategic implications of these findings are considered
A Deep Learning Approach Towards Generating High-fidelity Diverse Synthetic Battery Datasets
Recent surge in the number of Electric Vehicles have created a need to
develop inexpensive energy-dense Battery Storage Systems. Many countries across
the planet have put in place concrete measures to reduce and subsequently limit
the number of vehicles powered by fossil fuels. Lithium-ion based batteries are
presently dominating the electric automotive sector. Energy research efforts
are also focussed on accurate computation of State-of-Charge of such batteries
to provide reliable vehicle range estimates. Although such estimation
algorithms provide precise estimates, all such techniques available in
literature presume availability of superior quality battery datasets. In
reality, gaining access to proprietary battery usage datasets is very tough for
battery scientists. Moreover, open access datasets lack the diverse battery
charge/discharge patterns needed to build generalized models. Curating battery
measurement data is time consuming and needs expensive equipment. To surmount
such limited data scenarios, we introduce few Deep Learning-based methods to
synthesize high-fidelity battery datasets, these augmented synthetic datasets
will help battery researchers build better estimation models in the presence of
limited data. We have released the code and dataset used in the present
approach to generate synthetic data. The battery data augmentation techniques
introduced here will alleviate limited battery dataset challenges.Comment: Accepted at IEEE Transactions on Industry Application
Characterization of unitary processes with independent increments
In this paper, we study unitary Gaussian processes with independent increments with which the unitary equivalence to a Hudson-Parthasarathy evolution system is proved. This gives a generalization of results in [11] and [12] in the absence of the stationarity condition
