Evolution of the Internet Topology and Traffic Dynamics of Data Packets
In recent years, the Internet has become one of the most influential media in our daily life, going beyond in its role as the basic infrastructure in... -
4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve... -
Aid of Scaling Laws in the Achievement of a Well-Controlled Film Deposition Process
Scaling laws are profitably applied in all the scientific disciplines. Approximated solutions constitute a valuable aid for the analysis of complex... -
Vibrational Spectroscopy in Ion–Irradiated Carbon–Based Thin Films
In this work we present and discuss some selected experiments on ion–irradiated carbon–based thin films. Vibrational spectroscopy is used to... -
Laser Ablation-Deposited CN x Thin Films
Amorphous CN x thin films were deposited at room temperature by pulsed laser ablation of graphite targets in a... -
Elastic and Structural Properties of Carbon Materials Investigated by Brillouin Light Scattering
Brillouin light scattering (BS) is a nondestructive technique exploited to investigate collective excitations in solids: acoustic phonons, spin... -
Pulsed Laser Deposition of Carbon Films: Tailoring Structure and Properties
Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a versatile technique to synthesize films of a given material with strongly different properties. In this chapter we... -
Synchronization in Complex Networks
The study of complex systems pervades all of science, from cell biology to ecology, from computer science to meteorology. A paradigm of a complex... -
Data Traffic, Topology and Congestion
We consider the interaction between the topology of a network and the tra.c carried along its channels. The binding elements between the topology and... -
Ion Microscopy on Diamond
Because of its physical properties (strong radiation hardness, wide energy gap with a consequent extremely low dark current, very large electron and... -
Raman Spectroscopy and Optical Properties of Amorphous Diamond-Like Carbon Films
The Raman spectroscopy and optical characterization of amorphous hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon films is described. The samples were prepared by... -
Correlation Between Local Structure and Film Properties in Amorphous Carbon Materials
A discussion of the various amorphous carbon and amorphous hydrogenated carbon films is presented. A link between sp 2, sp... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
C Appendix: The Discrete DLMI Method
We consider the following system: $$ x_{k+1}=A_kx_k + B_k w_k, \quad k=0,1,... -
Formation, Atomic Structures and Properties of Carbon Nanocage Materials
Various carbon nanocage fullerene materials (clusters, metallofullerenes, onions, nanotubes, nanohorns and nanocapsules) were synthesized by... -
Defects in CVD Diamond Films from Their Response as Nuclear Detectors
CVD diamond films can be used to realize nuclear detectors with outstanding working capability in harsh environments. Since efficient particle... -
A C + + Parser for VOTables
This paper provides a brief description of C + + Parser for VOTables. The parser is developed by Persistent Systems in association with IUCAA as part... -
Visualisation Tools for Very Large Amounts of Data
Can we perceive a billion stars? How would you go about classifying them? How quantitatively good would your analysis be? How reliable would your... -
