Decoherence-enabled unconditional strongly sub-Poissonian squeezing by Qing Xu, Ke Zhang, Xiaobo Shen, Haijun Yu, Jiabing Zhu

“…The interactions with the atom make no contribution to the preparation of squeezed light. These counterintuitive results are originated from the intrinsic quantum reservoir in the dressed-atom combination mode picture, which may open the door to exploring high levels of squeezing induced by the decoherence in the stationary regime.…”

Enhancement in Optical Properties of Lanthanum-Doped Manganese Barium Hexaferrites under Different Substitutions by Meshal Alzaid

“…This work focuses on the synthesis of rare earth lanthanum (La3+)-doped manganese in barium hexaferrite (Ba1−xLaxMnyFe12−yO19) (x = 0.02–0.10 and y = 0.02–0.10) prepared by using the coprecipitation method. The intensity peak is increased with increasing the concentration of lanthanum, which shows the enhancement in the degree of crystallinity and increase in the size of crystallite. …”

La pertinence de tenir compte du sexe des « opérateurs » dans les études ergonomiques : Bilan de recherches by Karen Messing

“…I suggest that gender is a relevant consideration at various stages in the analysis : when examining the need for intervention, when observing, when discussing the report and when preparing training sessions. The examples used to demonstrate these points are taken from studies done by the CINBIOSE laboratory over the past ten years, usually in collaboration with the three major Québec trade unions.…”
