We show that a recent proposal for the generation of displaced number states [G.C. de Oliveira et al., Physica A 351 (2005) 251] is misleading and cannot be implemented experimentally. We then discuss the possibility of ...

In this work we study the stability of a liquid plug driven along a capillary tube by a constant pressure difference. The methodology is based on the analysis of the values of the steady-state film thickness as a function ...

The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperature on residual stresses in butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) code. An algorithm considering the solidstate ...

We present a protocol to deterministically prepare the electromagnetic field in a large photon number state. The field starts in a coherent state and, through resonant interaction with one or few two-level systems, it ...

In 1975, private and social housing production in Chile started to become increasingly privatized, in parallel with capital switching into the secondary circuit due to severe deindustrialization of the country. Since then, ...

Objectives: Considering the epidemiological and functional importance of spinal pathologies and the large number of surgeries performed today, the study aimed to evaluate the impact of spinal arthrodesis and discectomy ...

This paper proposes a numerical solution to deep beams using the layerwise displacement theory. Most of the methods for performing structural analyses of deep beams have geometric and boundary conditions limitations, as ...
