Transportation inequalities: From Poisson to Gibbs measures
We establish an optimal transportation inequality for the Poisson measure on
the configuration space. Furthermore, under the Dobrushin uniqueness condition,
we obtain a sharp transportation inequality for the Gibbs measure on
or the continuum Gibbs measure on the configuration
space.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/00-BEJ268 the Bernoulli

Biomedical Applications of Graphene
Graphene exhibits unique 2-D structure and exceptional phyiscal and chemical properties that lead to many potential applications. Among various applications, biomedical applications of graphene have attracted ever-increasing interests over the last three years. In this review, we present an overview of current advances in applications of graphene in biomedicine with focus on drug delivery, cancer therapy and biological imaging, together with a brief discussion on the challenges and perspectives for future research in this field
Detection of DC currents and resistance measurements in longitudinal spin Seebeck effect experiments on Pt/YIG and Pt/NFO
In this work we investigated thin films of the ferrimagnetic insulators YIG
and NFO capped with thin Pt layers in terms of the longitudinal spin Seebeck
effect (LSSE). The electric response detected in the Pt layer under an
out-of-plane temperature gradient can be interpreted as a pure spin current
converted into a charge current via the inverse spin Hall effect. Typically,
the transverse voltage is the quantity investigated in LSSE measurements (in
the range of \mu V). Here, we present the directly detected DC current (in the
range of nA) as an alternative quantity. Furthermore, we investigate the
resistance of the Pt layer in the LSSE configuration. We found an influence of
the test current on the resistance. The typical shape of the LSSE curve varies
for increasing test currents.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
A Smart Switch Configuration and Reliability Assessment Method for Large-Scale Offshore Wind Farm Electrical Collector System
With the development of offshore wind farms (OWFs) in far-offshore and
deep-sea areas, each OWF could contain more and more wind turbines and cables,
making it imperative to study high-reliability electrical collector system
(ECS) for OWF. Enlightened by active distribution network, for OWF, we propose
an ECS switch configuration that enables post-fault network recovery, along
with a reliability assessment (RA) method based on optimization models. It can
also determine the optimal normal state and network reconfiguration strategies
to maximize ECS reliability. Case studies on several OWFs demonstrate that the
proposed RA method is more computationally efficient and accurate than the
traditional sequential Monte-Carlo simulation method. Moreover, the proposed
switch configuration, in conjunction with the network reconfiguration strategy
and proper topology, provides significant benefits to ECS reliability.Comment: 10 page
