  • Coastal Cliffs Monitoring and Prediction of Displacements Using Terrestial Laser Scanning

    Publikacja

    Coastal cliffs are very sensitive to degradation caused by erosion and abrasion. Thus, it is very important to monitor susceptibility of the cliffs in terms of slope angles and ground fall resulting from vertical morphology of the cliffs. The results could be used for example to establish the boundaries of the safe investments zone or retreat infrastructure buildings in case of real threat such as degradation of the objects of...

    • K. Pastuszak

    In real-world applications, many important practical problems are NP-hard, therefore it is expedient to consider not only the optimal solutions of NP-hard optimization problems, but also the solutions which are “close” to them (near-optimal solutions). So, we can try to design an approximation algorithm that efficiently produces a near-optimal solution for the NP-hard problem. In many cases we can even design approximation algorithms...

  • Automatic Correction of Non-Anechoic Antenna Measurements Using Complex Morlet Wavelets

    Real-world performance of antennas is normally tested in anechoic chambers (ACs). Alternatively, experimental validation can be performed in non-anechoic environments and refined in the course of post-processing. Unfortunately, the existing methods are difficult to setup and prone to failure. In this letter, a wavelet-based framework for correction of non-anechoic antenna measurements has been proposed. The method involves automatic...

  • Dynamical objectivity in quantum Brownian motion

    Publikacja

    Classical objectivity as a property of quantum states —a view proposed to explain the observer-independent character of our world from quantum theory, is an important step in bridging the quantum-classical gap. It was recently derived in terms of spectrum broadcast structures for small objects embedded in noisy photon-like environments. However, two fundamental problems have arisen: a description of objective motion and applicability...

    Publikacja

    - PHYSICAL REVIEW A - Rok 2015

    In spite of all of its successes, quantum mechanics leaves us with a central problem: How does nature create a bridge from fragile quanta to the objective world of everyday experience? Here we find that a basic structure within quantum mechanics that leads to the perceived objectivity is a so-called spectrum broadcast structure. We uncover this based on minimal assumptions, without referring to any dynamical details or a concrete...
