Abstract Smell is an essential sense that allows animals to find food and mates while avoiding predators. In humans smell is considered an aesthetic sensory modality, but olfactory disorders may presage neurological disease including Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia. The odorant receptors (ORs) comprise the…

Development of interleaved power converters with coupled inductors has enhanced converters performances (better power density, eciency, transient response. . .). Such improvements lead to the necessity of a precise current-sharing in the converter legs, and consequently to much more complex control strategy for those…

Recently the structure of disordered gold-polymer(PMMA-Au) thin films have been measured using Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS). We have analyzed these experimental results using the fractal SAXS theory. The films are formed of polymer-embedded gold nanoclusters and were fabricated by very low energy gold ion impla…

The reflectivity at normal incidence of copper and aluminum samples was recently measured over a large frequency range at Brookhaven by one of us (JT). Then using the Kramers-Kroning integrals, and assuming the free-electron model of conductivity, the dependence of conductivity on frequency was obtained. The results s…
