In this article, under certain parametric conditions, we study the first integrals of the Duffing-van der Pol-type oscillator equations which include the van der Pol and the Duffing oscillator systems, as particular cases. After making a series of variable transformations and applying the PrellerSinger method, we find the first integrals of the simplified equations without complicated calculati...

All roadmaps reports are under revision of the European Commission, final approval from the EC is pending. The present document is a roadmap report prepared by Willems & van den Wildenberg (W&W) in the framework of the NanoRoadMap (NRM) project, co-funded by the 6th Framework Programme (FP6) of the European Commission. This roadmap report is mainly based on the input received from experts parti...

The Crystallographic data of the α-DIPAB sample was measured using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The crystal structure was also optimized using density functional based method. The calculations were performed both including van der Waals (vdW) interactions and excluding them to quantify the effects of vdW interaction on the crystal formation. The vibrational modes of DIPAB crystal correspond...

The recent experimental results on deep inelastic polarized lepton scattering off proton, deuteron and He together with polarized neutron β-decay data are analyzed. It is shown that the problem of Ellis-Jaffe and Bjorken sum rules deficiency and the neutron paradox could be solved simultaneously by assuming the small right handed current (RHC) admixture in the weak interaction Lagrangian. The p...

During a study of the helminth fauna of 1,643 rodents trapped along the Mekong River (Thailand, Lao People's Democratic Republic and Cambodia) in 2008-2011, the spirurid nematode Physaloptera ngoci Le-Van-Hoa, 1961 was recovered with an overall prevalence of 2.8%. Based on the original description, it was identified in nine of 23 different Murinae host species and is here reported for the first...

van der Waals (vdW) energy corrected density-functional theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 073005 (2009)] is applied to study the cohesive properties of ionic and semiconductor solids (C, Si, Ge, GaAs, NaCl, and MgO). The required polarizability and dispersion coefficients are calculated using the dielectric function obtained from time-dependent density-functional theory. Coefficients for "atoms in ...
