FUNDAMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS ON STRUCTURAL INSTABLITY OF TAINTER GATE

Systematic Structural Investigations on Phosphines

This work contributes to the systematic investigation of phosphines. In an attempt to deter­ mine the nature, shape, volume and direction of the lone pairs at the phosphorus atoms in phosphines, high resolution X-ray structure analyses of triphenylphosphine, tris(p-methoxyphenyl)phosphine, bis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)phosphine, 1,1 -bis(diphenylphosphino)ethene and 4,5,6-triphenyl-4-phosphaspi...

Rapid operation of a Tainter gate: generation process and initial upstream surge motion

In water supply channels, the brusque operation of control gates may induce large unsteady flow motion called surges. Such a rapid operation of gates must often be restricted, although it may be conducted to scour silted channels and sewers. Herein a physical study was conducted under controlled flow conditions to study the turbulent mixing in the very-close vicinity of a rapidly opening/closin...

Some Fundamental Investigations on the Resistance of Tubercle Bacilli.

Demonstration of a fundamental quantum logic gate.

We demonstrate the operation of a two-bit "controlled-NOT" quantum logic gate, which, in conjunction with simple single-bit operations, forms a universal quantum logic gate for quantum computation. The two quantum bits are stored in the internal and external degrees of freedom of a single trapped atom, which is first laser cooled to the zero-point energy. Decoherence effects are identified for ...

Spectroscopy, Structural, and Optical Investigations of NiFe2O4 Ferrite

Ni ferrite crystalline material is synthesized using a sol-gel method at two different temperatures. The vibrational and stretching modes, crystalline phase, size distribution and morphology of the products are investigated via Raman back-scattering and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. Vibrational modes of spinel ferrite are observed at Raman and FTIR...
