Van der Waals coefficients for the heteronuclear alkali-metal dimers of Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr are calculated using relativistic ab initio methods augmented by high-precision experimental data. We argue that the uncertainties in the coefficients are unlikely to exceed about 1%.

Water vapor error function absorption coefficients for visible and near ir radiation have been recalculated from experimental transmission data. The error function absorption coefficients and the resulting transmissions as a function of precipitable water vapor are tabulated for wavelengths from 0.2 micro to 1.3 micro. Comparisons are made between computed and measured spectral transmittances.

Analysis of time series from stochastic processes governed by a Langevin equation is discussed. Several applications for the analysis are proposed based on estimates of drift and diffusion coefficients of the Fokker-Planck equation. The coefficients are estimated directly from a time series. The applications are illustrated by examples employing various synthetic time series and experimental ti...

Most of the digital image watermarking techniques use pixel values, frequency or other transform coefficients to embed information without considering the perceptually significant portion of the cover. The present work selects the perceptually significant region of the cover and embeds data in the transform coefficients in order to design low-cost robust watermarking scheme. Experimental result...

the value of the permeability in fluid flow through porous media is important for process investigation. in low reynolds number, the classic darcy’s law is suitable for simulation of fluid flow. in this paper, an experimental study for evaluation of preformed fiber permeability has been done. also, the deviations from the classical darcy law by experimental and numerical simulation of the navie...
