Based on the thermoelastic mechanism of laser ultrasonic, the problems of the thermal conduction and the coupling between the motion of solid and fluid are solved by using the finite element method. And then the transient waveforms of leaky Lamb waves induced by pulse laser action on the air-aluminum interface are obtained. Experimental signals of laser-induced leaky Lamb waves at the air-alumi...

We propose to adopt the precisely measured anomalous magnetic moment and Lamb shift as tests for the possible existence of the radiatively induced Lorentz and CPT violation effects in quantum electrodynamics. To this end we calculate the one-loop vacuum polarization tensor and vertex radiative correction in dimensional reduction and on-shell renormalization scheme. We then explicitly show how t...

We study quantum optical properties of a dipole emitter coupled to a rectangular nanoscale waveguide with dielectric core and silver cladding. We investigate enhanced spontaneous emission and the photonic Lamb shift for emitters whose resonant frequencies are near the waveguide frequency cutoff where the waveguide behaves as an ɛ-near-zero metamaterial. Via a dyadic Green's function-based field...

We obtain a general result for the Lamb shift of excited states of multilevel atoms in inhomogeneous electromagnetic structures and apply it to study atomic hydrogen in inverse-opal photonic crystals. We find that the photonic-crystal environment can lead to very large values of the Lamb shift, as compared to the case of vacuum. We also suggest that the position-dependent Lamb shift should exte...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of parenteral supplementation of cobalt, copper and iron in late pregnancy on ewe hematology parameters and lamb vigour. Twenty ewes were allocated to one of two groups (n=10). In the test group, on day 120 ofpregnancy, cobalt, copper and iron were injected at a dose of 0.1 mL/kg BW (Fercobsang, France, cobalt gluconate 5 mg/100 mL, copper ...

we conducted this study to determine the level of immunity after vaccination of lambs with whole bodyechinococcus granulosus. to do so, 200 mature e. granulosus parasites, which were kept in 10% formalinefor 8 months, were obtained from the department of parasitology, school of veterinary medicine, ferdowsiuniversity of mashhad. the soluble protein of the parasite was prepared. the sample was h...

evaluation of gastric emptying rate using nuclear scintigraphy as the gold standard method has been studied in various animals, but there is no report in suckling lambs. the aim of this study was to develop a nuclear scintigraphic method to visualize and measure abomasal emptying rate by estimation of scintigraphic half emptying time (t1/2) in the live neonatal lamb. five healthy, female irania...

the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, dm basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (fa), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested fa and carcass fa. samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

Lamb and mutton are the most important sources of income for South African Merino farmers. The possibility of genetically improving survival of a Merino lambs was assessed with data from 5769 lambs that were born alive in the Cradock fine wool stud from 1998 to 2003. Three traits can possibly be linked to lamb survival and can therefore be included in selection programs, namely birth coat score...

Lamb waves are dispersive in a plate and elastic properties of anisotropic materials are dependent on the crystal orientation. It is expected that the wave propagation on a thin anisotropic plate is complex due to dispersion of Lamb waves which will be dependent on the propagation direction. Therefore it is essential to understand elastic waves in an anisotropic plate. In the present work, a si...
