PAPER DESCRIPTION
In the paper titled “An exact dissipation model for arbitrary photonic Fock state transport in waveguide QED systems”, Chen et al. have presented a dissipation model to study the Fock and coherent state transport through waveguide QED (wQED) systems. As the main novelty of their work, they have modelled the environment as a 3D scattering channel (described in a real-space picture similar to the waveguide modelling) and it has been shown that a reduced Hamiltonian can be obtained for arbitrary photon number Fock state which can describe the photonic transport with a restricted eigenstate. To illustrate, one-, two-, N-photon and coherent state examples are presented. Finally, two simple geometries of the scattering channel are considered namely the uniform medium and a slab waveguide. Authors have also very briefly pointed out the applicability of their model in cavity QED.
COMMENTS AND DECISION
Overall the paper has interesting findings and is systematically presented. In particular, the modelling of the environment as a non-excitable 3D scattering channel, is the key attraction in this work. Moreover, the authors have made claims which seems not to be exaggerated. However, there are some points in this work which can be ambiguous to the interested reader. Therefore, I can recommend publication of this paper in the Optics Letters, provided the authors performs the following revisions:
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS
•
The short story,“The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin explains the theme of think before you act. To begin with, Tom Godwin portrays the theme of think before you act when Marilyn stowaways in the stardust and unknowingly something has to be done with her so the spaceship to save fuel,”Is that it? she asked at last. Just that the ship doesn't have enough fuel?” on page 5 This quote helps me prove my theme because it shows that she obviously didn’t think before she went into the ship. Second, another reason why the theme of think before you act is shown in the story,” the cold equations” is on page when Barton says ,”These little ships are always given barely enough fuel to reach their destination and if you stay aboard your added weight will cause
In the short story “The Cold Equations,” by Tom Godwin, shows that love for your family is opposing love for oneself, because in her rush to see family, she ends up getting sentenced to die, and Marilyn embraces that she’s going to die, with sadness, anger, and fear at first and then eventually embraces it with strength.
In The “Cold Equation” by Tom Godwin, Marilyn starts of the story as a girl who jumps on a ship to go see her brother who is in war. She is quickly haunted by the news that she will have to sacrifice her life to save the lives of other people. Through Marilyn’s actions and words, she could be described as oblivious, loving, and courageous.
The story "The Cold Equations" by Tom Godwin, displays the theme, There are consequences for every action. The story begins by taking us inside an Emergency Dispatch Ship (EDS) in mid-flight, when the ship’s gauges alert the pilot that a stowaway is hiding aboard in the small closet. The pilot immediately infers it is a grown male stowaway, whom the pilot orders out of the closet as he lay his hand on his blaster gun. To his utter surprise, the stowaway who emerges is a young female, causing him to immediately realize the inevitable end to the situation at hand, as the protocol for stowaways was very harsh; upon discovery of such person, the stowaway would be dispersed immediately into space leading to imminent death. The EDS was only permitted
The story “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin, shows the central thematic tension of one's guilt being the lesser to one’s responsibility, and this is resolved by the responsibility of the main characters overcoming his guilt and ending the life of a girl. The story starts off in an EDS spacecraft, and the main character is all alone doing his job, flying the ship. Soon the main character realizes there was someone in the supplies closet, but sadly the narrator would have to send that person out into space since he didn’t have enough fuel to make it to his destination if they were onboard. The main character found out that the other person was a girl and she was only 18, trying to get to her brother who worked on Woden, but the girl didn’t realize that she was on the path to death.
Changing perspective is the act of altering the way someone interprets an action, object, or person. Adjusting perception can allow one to overcome hardships and understand the community around them. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, characters discover the true background behind those who are outcasts in society. Likewise, in Lost in the Barrens by Farley Mowat, characters ascertain that their long-term enemies were truly innocent. In “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin, the pilot of the Emergency Dispatch Ship, Barton, unearths the horror of the stowaway as he discovers her motives. In “Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” by Tim O’Brien, Paul Berlin changes his viewpoint of another character to remain sane in the battlefield of Vietnam. Seeing things from another angle allows characters to grow socially and act responsibly against challenges.
The short story “The Cold Equations by Tom Godwin illustrates the theme the love for something can either push you to doing the extreme or not doing anything at all. In the beginning of the story we learn about Barton who is the Pilot of an EDS that this story is placed on. He finds a stowaway on his ship, a girl,Marilyn, who is trying to see her brother again, so the procedure for stowaways is simple: they die. As the story goes on Barton and the girl argue about if it is right for her die. continuing, Barton calls the base that her brother is at for her to say one last goodbye, unfortunately he is not there at the moment.
The calculated percent stray light for the Cary 60 and Ocean Optics measurements were 0.09% and 5.26%, respectively. The reason why these values were so different is explained by the environment in which the measurements were taken. The Cary 60 analyzed
The story, “The Cold Equations”, by Tom Godwin asserts the theme that even if you mean well, things could end badly. In the story, the stowaway hid from the pilots aboard their ship. The ship called out the pilots about an extra body being on board in the supplies closet. The stowaway came out of the hiding spot to reveal a girl in her teens. He asked her what are you doing and she said, “I’m here to see my brother.
Providing a proper equation of state for each phase has a crucial role in the numerical simulation of compressible liquid-vapor two-phase flows. Furthermore, these equations of state are required to be thermodynamically consistent, computationally cost effective and as accurate as possible, however, determining the constant parameters in these equations for any fluid type should not be cumbersome. In this paper, an equation of state is obtained for the liquid phase by Taylor expansion of internal energy about a reference point. By employing thermodynamic relations, other thermodynamic properties such as enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs function are obtained. Subsequently, this equation of state for the liquid phase is associated with a stiffened gas equation of state for the vapor phase which is proven to have a acceptable accuracy for the gases.
In the short story “The Cold Equations” by a girl named Marilyn stows away on an EDS ship named . The title of the story comes from the ship's equation of how much fuel it uses based on weight and the cold and harsh consequence if extra weight is added. In the middle of the story, Godwin writes, “ h amount of fuel will power an EDS with a mass of m safely to it's destination”. Marilyn adds weight to the ship messing up the equation creating more mass that the ship can carry.
