In this work, we investigate the properties of a stochastic model, in which two coupled degrees of freedom are subordinated to viscous, elastic, and also additive random forces. Our model, which builds on previous progress in Brownian motion theory, is designed to describe water-immersed microparticles connected to a cantilever nanowire prepared by polymerization using two-photon direct laser writing (TPP-DLW). The model focuses on insights into nanowires exhibiting viscoelastic behavior, which defines the specific conditions of the microbead. The nanowire bending is described by a three-parameter linear model. The theoretical model is studied from the point of view of the power spectrum density of Brownian fluctuations. Our approach also focuses on the potential energy equipartition, which determines random forcing parametrization. Analytical calculations are provided that result in a double-Lorentzian power density spectrum with two corner frequencies. The proposed model explained our preliminary experimental findings as a result of the use of regression analysis. Furthermore, an a posteriori form of regression efficiency evaluation was designed and applied to three typical spectral regions. The agreement of respective moments obtained by integration of regressed dependences as well as by summing experimental data was confirmed.

We study the properties of the faint X-ray activity of Galactic transient black hole candidate XTE J1908+094 during its 2019 outburst. Here, we report the results of detailed spectral and temporal analysis during this outburst using observations from Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR). We have not observed any quasi-periodic-oscillations (QPOs) in the power density spectrum (PDS). The spectral study suggests that the source remained in the softer (more precisely, in the soft–intermediate) spectral state during this short period of X-ray activity. We notice a faint but broad Fe Kα emission line at around 6.5 keV. We also estimate the probable mass of the black hole to be 6.5−0.7+0.5M⊙, with 90% confidence.

Time-reversal invariance can be exploited in wave physics to control wave propagation in complex media. Because time and space play a similar role in wave propagation, time-reversed waves can be obtained by manipulating spatial boundaries or by manipulating time boundaries. The two dual approaches will be discussed in this paper. The first approach uses ‘time-reversal mirrors’ with a wave manipulation along a spatial boundary sampled by a finite number of antennas. Related to this method, the role of the spatio-temporal degrees of freedom of the wavefield will be emphasized. In a second approach, waves are manipulated from a time boundary and we show that ‘instantaneous time mirrors’, mimicking the Loschmidt point of view, simultaneously acting in the entire space at once can also radiate time-reversed waves.

We propose a new cross-correlation method that can recognize independent realizations of the same type of stochastic processes and can be used as a new kind of pattern recognition tool in biometrics, sensing, forensic, security and image processing applications. The method, which we call bispectrum correlation coefficient method, makes use of the cross-correlation of the bispectra. Three kinds of cross-correlation coefficients are introduced. To demonstrate the new method, six different random telegraph signals are tested, where four of them have the same power density spectrum. It is shown that the three coefficients can map the different stochastic processes to specific sub-volumes in a cube.

In classical fatigue of materials, the frequency contents of dynamic loading are well below the natural frequencies of the observed structure or test specimen. However, when dealing with vibration fatigue the frequency contents of dynamic loading and structure's dynamic response overlap, resulting in amplified stress loads of the structure. For such cases, frequency counting methods are especially convenient. Gaussianity and stationarity assumptions are applied in frequency-domain methods for obtaining dynamic structure's response and frequency-domain methods for calculating damage accumulation rate. Since it is common in real environments for the structure to be excited with non-Gaussian and non-stationary loads, this study addresses the effects of such dynamic excitation to experimental time-to-failure of a structure. Initially, the influence of non-Gaussian stationary excitation is experimentally studied via excitation signals with equal power density spectrum and different values of kurtosis. Since no relevant changes of structure's time-to-failure were observed, the study focused on non-stationary excitation signals that are also inherently non-Gaussian. The non-stationarity of excitation was achieved by amplitude modulation and significantly shorter times-to-failure were observed when compared to experiments with stationary non-Gaussian excitation. Additionally, the structure's time-to-failure varied with the rate of the amplitude modulation. To oversee this phenomenon the presented study proposes a non-stationarity index which can be obtained from the excitation time history. The non-stationarity index was experimentally confirmed as a reliable estimator for severity of non-stationary excitation. The non-stationarity index is used to determine if the frequencydomain methods can safely be applied for time-to-failure calculation.

Extra-dimensional theories contain additional degrees of freedom related to the geometry of the extra space which can be interpreted as new particles. Such theories allow to reformulate most of the fundamental problems of physics from a completely different point of view. In this essay, we concentrate on the brane fluctuations which are present in brane-worlds, and how such oscillations of the own space–time geometry along curved extra dimensions can help to resolve the Universe missing mass problem. The energy scales involved in these models are low compared to the Planck scale, and this means that some of the brane fluctuations distinctive signals could be detected in future colliders and in direct or indirect dark matter searches.

The comparison of mechanisms with different topology or with different geometry, but with the same topology, is a necessary operation during the design of a machine sized for a given task. Therefore, tools that evaluate the dynamic performances of a mechanism are welcomed. This paper deals with the dynamic isotropy of 2-dof mechanisms starting from the definition introduced in a previous paper. In particular, starting from the condition that identifies the dynamically isotropic configurations, it shows that, provided some special cases are not considered, 2-dof mechanisms have at most a finite number of isotropic configurations. Moreover, it shows that, provided the dynamically isotropic configurations are excluded, the geometric locus of the configuration space that collects the points associated to configurations with the same dynamic isotropy is constituted by closed curves. This results will allow the classification of 2-dof mechanisms from the dynamic-isotropy point of view, and the definition of some methodologies for the characterization of the dynamic isotropy of these mechanisms. Finally, examples of applications of the obtained results will be given.

A technique is presented by which the power density spectrum of an analog computer waveform may be meas ured to a specified amplitude precision and frequency resolution. The procedure involves sampling the wave form, storing the samples in a digital computer, and dig itally computing the autocorrelation function and the cosine transform of the autocorrelation function to yield the power spectrum. The theory required for selection of the parameters of sampling and computation is presented as are the required methods of data smoothing and proces sing. A description is given of an application of the tech nique to the design of a solid-state frequency multiplier. The computational system is designer-controlled and is capable of giving rapid indications of the effect of changes in the process being simulated on the analog computer.

This paper presents the results of a study of direct laser writing on thin films of transition metals (Hf, Ti, Zr, Ta, V). The films were deposited on fused silica substrates. A comparison of laser writing on the indicated films is carried out from the point of view of the presence of contour writing. As it was proved earlier, when writing on zirconium films, contour writing leads to formation of periodic nanostructures with a period equal to the writing step (250-500 nm). Materials were identified that are promising from the point of view of writing oxide nanostructures for the further formation of the diffraction phase microrelief of DOEs.
