The ability of a newly developed independent passive optical system OPTIMEX to measure the detonation front curvature is demonstrated on charges of pressed explosive A-IX-1 (RDX/ceresin-stearin mixture with 95/5 wt.%). The charges, with length to diameter ratios of from one to four, were prepared from cylinders with diameters of 21 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm pressed to a density of 1.66 g/cm3. ...

The longitudinal optical conductivity is the most important property for graphene-baseddevices. So investigating this property for spatially separated few-layer graphene systems analytically and numerically is the main purpose of our study. Each layer can be mono- or bi-layer graphene. The density-density correlation function has been screened by the dielectric function using the random p...

the use of panoramic radiography, due to its numerous advantages, is increasing. radiographic films used in this technique are of double emulsion (de) type which are used with intensifying screens. single emulsion (se) films can also be used. the purpose of this study was to determine the exposure parameters to achieve an appropriate optical density in these two types of films, and to estimate ...

in order to study the productivity and competition ability of sesame and mung bean, a field experiment was conducted in agriculture faculty of shahid chamran university of ahvaz at 2012. experimental design was split-plot based of rcb with 3 replications. main plot included 2 planting patterns and sub-plots included 5 plant density ratios. our result showed that both 50 & 75 cm inter-rows in 50...

PURPOSE To investigate the changes over time in optical density (OD) characteristics of subretinal fluid (SRF) in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and their clinical relevance. METHODS The study included patients with first-onset RRD and no history of intraocular illness who underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) and whose OCT scans showed sufficient SRF for sampling (08/2013-09/...

Chemically synthesized metallic nanostructures can exhibit a strong local optical field enhancement associated with their high degree of crystallinity and well-defined geometry-dependent surface plasmon resonances. The extension of the plasmon modes into the mid-IR spectral range (3-30 microm) is shown for micrometer-sized nanowires with high aspect ratios available in the form of pentagonally ...

Spectral sensitivity of humans and rhesus monkeys was compared using identical displays and similar procedures. Detection thresholds were measured for the following: 1) 15-Hz modulation of a blue and a green cathode-ray tube phosphor; 2) 15-Hz modulation of all three phosphors together; and 3) slow (<1 Hz) modulations of a blue and a green phosphor under scotopic conditions. Monkeys had lower b...

We developed a novel technique for frequency measurement and synthesis, based on the operation of a femtosecond comb generator as transfer oscillator. The technique can be used to measure frequency ratios of any optical signals throughout the visible and near-infrared part of the spectrum. Relative uncertainties of 10(-18) for averaging times of 100 s are possible. Using a Nd:YAG laser in combi...

We summarize our model for long-duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs) that fits the redshift (z) distributions measured with Swift and missions before Swift, and the pre-Swift GRB jet opening-angle distribution inferred from achromatic breaks in the optical light curves. We find that the comoving rate density of GRB sources exhibits positive evolution to z > ∼ 3 – 5, whereas the star formation rate ...

in this study, the possibility of estimating wheat density was investigated by using a non-destructive method of output voltage of the light received by the photovoltaic cells. for the static tests, treatments and procedures, a system was designed and built. an experiment with different density on the wheat crop was carried out. the components of optical system clouding: photocells, led lights ...
