A Model for Quantum Stochastic Absorption in Absorbing Disordered Media

Wave propagation in coherently absorbing disordered media is generally modeled by adding a complex part to the real part of the potential. In such a case, it is already understood that the complex potential plays a duel role; it acts as an absorber as well as a reflector due to the mismatch of the phase of the real and complex parts of the potential. Although this model gives expected results for weakly absorbing disordered media, it gives unphysical results for the strong absorption regime where it causes the system to behave like a perfect reflector. To overcome this issue, we develop a model here using stochastic absorption for the modeling of absorption by "fake", or "side", channels obviating the need for a complex potential. This model of stochastic absorption eliminates the reflection that is coupled with the absorption in the complex potential model and absorption is proportional to the magnitude of the absorbing parameter. Solving the statistics of the reflection coefficient and its phase for both the models, we argue that stochastic absorption is a potentially better way of modeling absorbing disordered media.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Deliverables towards HR Sustainability: A conceptual Review

The hallmark of sustainability is that it brings about long-term thinking and for HR portfolio building an establishment as an "employer of choice" is synonymous with sustainability. One of the prime tenets of sustainability is maximizing the positive benefits of a business operation for all stakeholders and precisely it should start with its internal people resources. There is a growing consensus that effective human capital is critical to an organization’s success and that the human resource functions must be strategically sustainable. The very word sustainability is a new and interesting topic for most HR professionals; at the same time the nexus between sustainability and human resources is an intangible one. In contemporary times human resources is under incredible pressure to ascertain its value, facing intense demands to create a more productive, results-oriented workforce. This review paper will try to revisit the “HR to do list” and will explore an effectiveness mechanism to address the factors like employee engagement, performance, competence and retention as a powerful engine for propelling sustainability of the domain.
