The effect of temperature on absorption in end-pumped Yb:YAG thin disk lasers

In this paper, the dependence of the absorbed power on the temperature in an end-pumped CW quasi-three-level Yb:YAG thin disk laser is calculated. Here, we have used the temperature-dependent form of the Boltzmann occupation factors, absorption cross-section and thermal conductivity of the Yb:YAG crystal. A Monte Carlo ray tracing code and a 2D finite element analysis (FEA) with the ANSYS package have been used to calculate the absorbed power and the temperature distribution inside the Yb:YAG thin disk laser, respectively. According to the model, the temperature-dependent absorbed power turns out to be 18% less than the temperature-independent absorbed power in the top center of the Yb:YAG thin disk laser for used parameters.     

PTSA catalyzed simple and green synthesis of benzothiazole derivatives in water

Abstract  

p-Toluenesulfonic acid (10 mol%) was found to be an effective and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2-substituted benzothiazoles from aromatic aldehydes and 2-aminothiophenol in moderate to excellent yields in water. This method provides a simple and efficient protocol in terms of mild reaction conditions, clean reaction profiles, small quantity of catalyst, and simple workup procedure.

Boosted cylindrical magnetized Kaluza–Klein wormhole

In this work, we consider a vacuum solution of Kaluza–Klein theory with cylindrical symmetry. We investigate the physical properties of the solution as viewed in four dimensional spacetime, which turns out to be a stationary, cylindrical wormhole supported by a scalar field and a magnetic field oriented along the wormhole. We then apply a boost to the five dimensional solution along the extra dimension, and perform the Kaluza–Klein reduction. As a result, we show that the new solution is still a wormhole with a radial electric field and a magnetic field stretched along the wormhole throat.     

Microwave-Assisted Combustion Synthesis of ZnO:Eu Nanoparticles: Effect of Fuel Types

Nanoparticles of Europium oxide doped with Zinc oxide were synthesized via microwave-assisted combustion method. Citric acid as a simultaneous fuel and chelating agent and glycine as a fuel and mixture of these fuels were sleeted. X-Ray diffraction patterns (XRD) indicated the formation of ZnO structure with a few amount of Eu₂O₃ phase. Fourier transformation infra red (FTIR) spectra reveal the increase of ZnO₄ bonds with glycine content of fuels mixture. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed the conversion of nanosphere to spongy-like structure with respect to change of fuel mixtures from citric to glycine. From transmission electron microscopy (TEM) nanoparticles of a mean size 30 nm are observed Green fluorescence emission of different samples was due to activation of self activated center of ZnO structure through transition of electron from Eu³⁺ to V_zn sites.     

Evaluation of aortic stenosis severity using 4D flow jet shear layer detection for the measurement of valve effective orifice area

Aims

The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of 4D flow MRI to assess valve effective orifice area (EOA) in patients with aortic stenosis as determined by the jet shear layer detection (JSLD) method.

Methods and Results

An in-vitro stenosis phantom was used for validation and in-vivo imaging was performed in 10 healthy controls and 40 patients with aortic stenosis. EOA was calculated by the JSLD method using standard 2D phase contrast MRI (PC-MRI) and 4D flow MRI measurements (EOA_JSLD-2D and EOA_JSLD-4D, respectively). As a reference standard, the continuity equation was used to calculate EOA (EOA_CE) with the 2D PC-MRI velocity field and compared to the EOA_JSLD measurements. The in-vitro results exhibited excellent agreement between flow theory (EOA = 0.78 cm²) and experimental measurement (EOA_JSLD-4D = 0.78 ± 0.01 cm²) for peak velocities ranging from 0.9 to 3.7 m/s. In-vivo results showed good correlation and agreement between EOA_JSLD-2D and EOA_CE (r = 0.91, p < 0.001; bias: − 0.01 ± 0.38 cm²; agreement limits: 0.75 to − 0.77 cm²), and between EOA_JSLD-4D and EOA_CE (r = 0.95, p < 0.001; bias: − 0.09 ± 0.26 cm²; limits: 0.43 to − 0.62 cm²).

Conclusion

This study demonstrates the feasibility of measuring EOA_JSLD using 4D flow MRI. The technique allows for optimization of the EOA measurement position by visualizing the 3D vena contracta, and avoids potential sources of EOA_CE measurement variability.
