Clean Cars and Advanced Biofuels:How to Cut Our Oil Dependence in Half in 20 YearsOnce again, the nation is gripped by spiking gas prices. A billion dollars are being sent out of the country each day to buy oil, the vast majority being burned in our cars and trucks. For decades, the US has tried and failed to reduce our dependence on petroleum. Why ...
More than 300 energy experts collaborated over the last four years on the Global Energy Assessment (GEA). The Report, forthcoming in Summer 2011, aims at providing the technical and scientific basis for the evaluation of social, economic, technological, and environmental challenges linked to energy. This talk focuses on findings of ...
Multimode fiber (MMF) is widely used in short-reach systems, such as data-center networks. Random perturbations cause coupling between modes having different group delays (modal dispersion), strongly limiting bit rate ´ distance products (to about 10 Gbit/s ´ 300 m in current systems). For decades, modal coupling and dispersion have been modeled using incoherent power coupling models. By using a coherent ...
