The importance of the equipment and secondary systems in seismic design and performance evaluation is well recognized and has been the subject of many studies. In all of these studies, earthquake is considered as a single component, and in most of them the primary system is considered as shear building. Most attention has been concentrated on the response of secondary system and its response sp...

We study the superfluidity of a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by computing its Bogoliubov excitations, which are found to have two branches: one is gapless and phonon-like at long wavelength; the other is typically gapped. These excitations imply superfluidity that has two new features: i) due to the absence of the Galilean invariance, one can no longer define the critical v...

axial distributions of plasma and floating potentials, electron number density and the electron energy distribution function (eedf) have been measured in the double layer (dl) region of an he discharge constriction. excitation processes in the constriction region are studied. using a linearization method for the nonstationary balance equations and choosing appropriate discharge conditions, the ...

Second order advantage of excitation-emission fluorescence matrix was applied for the simultaneous determination of ibuprofen and caffeine. The proposed method is based on the measurement of the native fluorescence and recording emission spectra of ibuprofen and caffeine in different excitation wavelengths. The mixture of these compounds was resolved by multivariate curve resolution coupled wit...

This paper presents actual cases of steady reactive power oscillation of Distributed Generations (DGs) during parallel operation with the main grid. The cause of the problem was found to be the adverse effects of excitation system voltage regulation. It is shown, through preliminary investigation and detailed simulation studies, that how the excitation control system can be modified to overcome...

acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...

For the nervous system to work at all, a delicate balance of excitation and inhibition must be achieved. However, when such a balance is sought by global strategies, only few modes remain balanced close to instability, and all other modes are strongly stable. Here we present a simple model of neural tissue in which this balance is sought locally by neurons following ‘anti-Hebbian’ behavior: all...

Light refraction at the planar boundary of dielectric media prevents light propagation in the higher refractive index medium at angles beyond the critical value. This limitation is lifted when the evanescent wave is excited at the lower refractive index side of the interface. In this work we quantify polarization and angle dependence of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) intensity beyond ...
