A problem of reflection and transmission of a plane shear wave incident at a corrugated interface between transversely isotropic inhomogeneous and visco-elastic half-spaces is investigated. Applying appropriate boundary conditions and using Rayleigh’s method of approximation expressions for reflection and transmission coefficients are obtained for the first and second order approximation of the...

Reversible voltammograms and a voltammetry half-wave potential versus solution pH diagram are described for a protein tyrosine radical. This work required a de novo designed tyrosine-radical protein displaying a unique combination of structural and electrochemical properties. The α(3)Y protein is structurally stable across a broad pH range. The redox-active tyrosine Y32 resides in a desolvated ...

Tricyclic donor 26 has been prepared and is the most reducing neutral ground-state organic molecule known, with an oxidation potential 260 mV more negative than the previous record. Cyclic voltammetry shows that a 2-electron reversible redox process occurs in DMF as solvent at -1.46 V vs. Ag/AgCl.

Energy spectrum and wave functions are obtained numerically with a potential consisting of Woods–Saxon, Coulomb, and spin–orbit coupling parts for the nuclei 15O, 15N, 17O, and 17F. The radial parts of the wave functions are used to calculate some matrix elements of electromagnetic transitions. These results are applied to calculate half-lives of low-lying exited states in the one-particle 17O ...

The experimental conditions required for the precise determination of polarographic half-wave potentials have been investigated and are discussed. The values of half-wave potentials vary with the characteristics of the dropping-m ercury electrode in the case of reduction of m etal ions to metal soluble in mercury. Consequently, it is necessary to specify the experimental condition whenever valu...

The study of surface waves in a layered media has their viable application in geophysical prospecting. This paper presents an analytical study on the dispersion of torsional surface wave in a pre-stressed heterogeneous layer sandwiched between a pre-stressed anisotropic porous semi-infinite medium and gravitating anisotropic porous half-space. The non-homogeneity within the intermediate layer a...

The present problem deals with the propagation of Love-type surface waves in a bedded structure comprises of an inhomogeneous orthotropic layer and an elastic half-space. The upper boundary and the interface between two media are considered to be corrugated. An analytical method (separation of variables) is adapted to solve the second order PDEs, which governs the equations of motion. Equations...

We introduce single-molecule spectroelectrochemistry (SMS-EC), a powerful new technique for studying electrochemical kinetics in highly heterogeneous systems. This technique uses fluorescence single-molecule spectroscopy to indirectly measure electrochemical kinetics one molecule at a time, offering for the first time the distribution of key electrochemical variables, such as the half-wave pote...
