    Abstract: D.Georgiev presented an idea that consciousness could be the result of quantum computation via short laser-like pulses controlling quantum gates within the brain cortex. However, he later rejected this theory because the wavelength of super radiant photon emission in the infrared spectrum is two orders of magnitude longer than the size of any micro... Show More

    Abstract: Deep excavations are common in urban areas, nearby existing constructions. The support systems have the main function of preserve the stability and control soil displacements close to the excavation. Settlement control of nearby structures is an essential aspect during design and construction. Settlements prediction is usually made by empirical met... Show More

    Abstract: The success obtained from semiconductor laser devices is dependent on the science of manipulating the electron-hole and the photon. While the most useful interaction in the laser is the recombination process that involves the electron and holes to produce a photon, other non-useful processes also occur and in some cases overshadow the preferred rec...

    Abstract: A solar cell is an electronic device which directly converts sunlight into electricity. Light shining on the solar cell produces both a current and a voltage to generate electric power. This process requires firstly, a material in which the absorption of light raises an electron to a higher energy state, and secondly, the movement of this higher en... Show More
