a systematic study on the electrochemical behavior of the s-derivatives of 2-amino cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (acda) has been carried out in aqueous ethanolic solutions by means of polarography, coulometry and voltammetry. all the compounds studied exhibited a well defined anodic wave corresponding to a diffusion controlled process. controlled potential coulometry gave n=1 per mole fo...

Numerical simulations of re-entrant waves in detailed ionic models reveal a phenomenon that is impossible in traditional simplified mathematical models of FitzHugh-Nagumo type: dissipation of the excitation front (DEF). We have analysed the structure of three selected ionic models, identified the small parameters that appear in non-standard ways, and developed an asymptotic approach based on th...

The potential energy depends on how stretched the string is. Of course, having a string with some tension T automatically has some potential energy due to the stretching, even if there are no waves passing through the string. We are instead interested in the potential energy stored in the string as it is stretched further, due to the propagation of transverse waves. For simplicity, we use poten...

The existence of a Brewster wave number is demonstrated for the case of plane-wave reflection by a specularly smooth, planar interface joining two homogeneous, linearly elastic, isotropic solid half-spaces. Such a wave number is numerically shown to exist for two material combinations: steel-aluminum and steel-brass. The wave number can be such that plane waves are either propagating or evanesc...

Bloch oscillations of cold atoms in two-dimensional optical lattices are studied. The cases of separable and nonseparable potentials are compared by simulating the wave-packet dynamics. For these two classes of optical potential, the Bloch oscillations were found to be qualitatively the same in the case of a weak static field but fundamentally different in the case of a strong field. In additio...

Background: The theory of microstretch elastic bodies was first developed by Eringen (1971, 1990, 1999, 2004). This theory was developed by extending the theory of micropolar elastcity. Each material point in this theory has three deformable directors. Methods: The governing equations of a transversely isotropic microstretch material are specialized in x-z plane. Plane wave solutions of these g...

In this paper we discuss the sound absorption property of arrays of micro-acoustic actuators at a control surface. We use the wave equation over the half plane for the velocity potential with a boundary dissipation by a proportional pressure feedback law along the half plane boundary. The feedback gain over the array is described by a distributed shape function. We develop a computational metho...

Scholars have long recognized the potential of Internet-based communication technologies for improving network research—potential that, to date, remains largely underexploited. In the first half of this paper, we introduce a new public dataset based on manipulations and embellishments of a popular social network site, Facebook.com.We emphasize five distinctive features of this dataset and highl...

in this paper, we investigated the corrected plasmon dispersion relation for graphene in presence of a constant magnetic field which it includes a quantum term arising from the collective electron density wave interference effects. by using quantum hydrodynamic plasma model which incorporates the important quantum statistical pressure and electron diffraction force, the longitudinal plasmons ar...

Ultrashort, nearly unipolar electric field pulses are used to produce novel dynamic states in Rydberg atoms. A single 500 fsec field pulse redistributes essentially all of the population from a single stationary Rydberg state to hundreds of different final states. The dynamic evolution of the nonstationary wave packet is monitored using a second, time-delayed pulse. The time-dependent momentum-...
