    Is There a Place for a Reasonable Woman in the Law? A Discussion of Recent Developments in Hostile Environment Sexual Harassment

    In this study, we demonstrate piezoelectric power generation from zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires grown on paper substrate. Vertically aligned ZnO nanowires are deflected by an atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip in contact mode which generates an output voltage of up to 7 mV. Furthermore, the effects of different parameters mainly influencing the magnitude of the output voltage are discussed. We expect that due to its simplicity, this approach represents an important step within the development of nanoscale power generators. It offers a promising alternative powering source for the next generation of nanodevices on disposable paper

    About "On certain incomplete statistics" by Lima et al

    Lima et al recently claim that ({\em Chaos, Solitons & Fractals,} 2004;19:1005)the entropy for the incomplete statistics based on the normalizationipiq=1\sum_ip_i^q=1 should be S=ipi2q1lnqpiS=-\sum_ip_i^{2q-1}\ln_qp_i instead ofS=ipiqlnqpiS=-\sum_ip_i^{q}\ln_qp_i initially proposed by Wang. We indicate here that thisconclusion is a result of erroneous use of temperature definition for the incompletestatistics

    Performance of Uplink Multiuser Massive MIMO Systems

    We study the performance of uplink transmission in a large-scale (massive) MIMO system, where all the transmitters have single antennas and the receiver (base station) has a large number of antennas. Specifically, we analyze achievable degrees of freedom of the system without assuming channel state information at the receiver. Also, we quantify the amount of power saving that is possible with increasing number of receive antennas.Comment: 5 pages, no figur

    Hadron Formation in DIS in a nuclear environment

    Get PDF
    The influence of the nuclear medium on the production of charged hadrons in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering has been studied by the HERMES experiment at DESY using 27.5 GeV positrons. A substantial reduction of the multiplicity of charged hadrons and identified charged pions from nuclei relative to that from deuterium has been measured as function of the relevant kinematic variables. The preliminary results on krypton show a larger reduction of the multiplicity ratio RMhR_M^{h} with respect to the one previously measured on nitrogen and suggest a possible modification of the quark fragmentation process in the nuclear environment.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, Proceeding of DIS 2001, IX International Workshop on Deep Inelastic Scattering Bologna, 27 April-1 May 200
