the modulation response, relative intensity noise and frequency noise characteristics of qd lasers are investigated theoretically, in presence of an additional optical pumping. it is revealed that the modulation response of qd laser enhances under additional optical beam. by small signal analysis of the carriers' and photons' rates, it is proposed that by injecting excess carriers to ...

Saltwater intrusion and upconing phenomena affect coastal aquifers worldwide. Over-exploitation leads to high salinity levels which threaten sustainable use of these freshwater resources. There is an increasing need to accurately, and practically, model the physics of these coastal pumping systems while also incorporating the relevant economics. We formalize a decision model able to define the ...

Noise and vibration present increasing environmental problems to society. Noise and vibration are hazards to human when they occur at high levels, or continue for a long time. High noise levels can cause hearing loss, headaches, dizziness, high blood pressure, loss of concentration, heart disease...etc. There are many researches addressed effect of pumping stations' noise and vibration on perfo...

We explore an embryonic heart model that couples electrophysiology and muscle-force generation to flow induced using a 2D fluid-structure interaction framework based on the immersed boundary method. The propagation of action potentials are coupled to muscular contraction and hence the overall pumping dynamics. In comparison to previous models, the electro-dynamical model does not use prescribed...

We present a pumping lemma for the class of collapsible pushdown graphs of level 2. This pumping lemma even applies to the ε-contractions of level 2 collapsible pushdown graphs. Our pumping lemma also improves the bounds of Hayashi’s pumping lemma for indexed languages. 1998 ACM Subject Classification F.1.1 Models of Computation

Abstract Mud pumping in subgrade beds under ballastless tracks will deteriorate the dynamic performance of infrastructure railway lines, reduce smoothness and seriously affect comfort safety trains. Due to their good mechanical properties, two-component polyurethane materials can be used for grouting treat fouling problems caused by track mud pumping. To develop a formula suitable treatment pum...

We study nonadiabatic two-parameter charge and spin pumping through a single-level quantum dot with Coulomb interaction. For the limit of weak tunnel coupling and in the regime of pumping frequencies up to the tunneling rates, Omega less, similar Gamma/variant Planck's over 2pi, we perform an exact resummation of contributions of all orders in the pumping frequency. As striking nonadiabatic sig...

INTRODUCTION Intra-aortic balloon pumping is used in elective percutaneous coronary intervention for increasing coronary blood flow. However, intra-aortic balloon pumping may decrease visceral blood flow and cause mesenteric ischemia by visceral artery obstruction. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 79-year-old Asian man in whom elective percutaneous coronary intervention was performed...

Mainly due to its long history, sucker-rod pumping is a very popular means of artificial lift all over the world, roughly two-thirds of the producing oil wells are on this type of lift. To maximize profits from these wells in the ever-changing economic situation with rising costs of electric power, installation designs must ensure optimum conditions. In the paper, basic considerations on ensuri...

Recent studies have ascribed many non-pumping functions to the Na/K-ATPase. Here, we present experimental evidence demonstrating that over half of the plasma membrane Na/K-ATPase in LLC-PK1 cells is performing cellular functions other than ion pumping. This "non-pumping" pool of Na/K-ATPase, like the pumping pump, binds ouabain. Depletion of either cholesterol or caveolin-1 moves some of the "n...
