Quasi-wavelets (QWs) are a representation of turbulence consisting of self-similar, eddy-like structures with random orientations and positions in space. They are used in this paper to calculate the scattering, due to turbulent velocity fluctuations, of sound behind noise barriers as a function of the size and spatial location of the eddies. The sound scattering cross-section for QWs of an individual size class (eddy size) is derived and shown to reproduce results for the von Kármán spectrum when the scattered energies from a continuous distribution of QW sizes are combined. A Bragg resonance condition is derived for the eddy size that scatters most strongly for a given acoustic wavenumber and scattering angle. Results for scattering over barriers show that, for typical barrier conditions, most of the scattered energy originates from eddies in the size range of approximately one-half to twice the size of the eddies responsible for maximum scattering. The results also suggest that scattering over the barrier due to eddies with a line of sight to both the source and receiver is generally significant only for frequencies above several kilohertz, for sources and receivers no more than a few meters below the top of the barrier, and for very turbulent atmospheric conditions. 相似文献
Amplitude equations, as well as the effective dispersion and nonlinearity parameters, which define the dynamics of a wave
packet formed by two strongly coupled modes, are derived with allowance for the frequency dependence of the linear mode coupling
coefficient. These equations are used to study the onset of the modulation instability of the two-mode wave packet, soliton-like
pulses, and compression modes. Unlike single-mode systems, the last two effects in optical waveguides may arise for both a
negative and positive disper-sion of the waveguide material. 相似文献
We study two-variable Engel-like relations and identities characterizing finite-dimensional solvable Lie algebras and, conjecturally, finite solvable groups and introduce some invariants of finite groups associated with such relations. Bibliography: 29 titles. 相似文献
In this paper we report on tight-binding calculations of lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals states for silicon ellipsoidal nanocrystals. The electronic structure has been calculated for different nanocrystal shapes either keeping constant or varying the number of silicon atoms. We have found that changing the ellipsoid aspect ratio a non-obvious energy level structure is obtained. The implications for the infrared optical transitions and their relationship with the polarization of the radiation involved are discussed. 相似文献
The room temperature structure of perovskite CeAlO3 has been reinvestigated by X-ray powder diffraction. The Rietveld refinement has confirmed the tetragonal symmetry; but revealed a super cell, a=5.32489(6) Å and c=7.58976(10) Å, with the space group I4/mcm. In CeAlO3, the distortion from the ideal cubic perovskite is caused by the cooperative tilting of the AlO6 octahedra around the primitive cubic [001]p-axis. 相似文献
Aromatic nitro compounds were reduced to the corresponding symmetrically substituted azo compounds using lead as catalyst and triethylammonium formate as hydrogen donor. Various azo compounds containing additional reducible substituents including halogens, nitrile, acid, phenol, ester, methoxy functions, etc, have been synthesized in a single step by the use of this reagent. The conversion is reasonably fast, clean, high yielding and occurs at room temperature in methanol. 相似文献
Investigation of the methanol extract of the roots of Gnidia involucrata (Thymelaeaceae) led to the isolation and characterization of two new 3,8″‐biflavonoid diastereoisomers, named GB‐4 ( 6a ) and GB‐4a ( 6b ). Their absolute configurations were determined in mixture by on‐line LC/CD measurements, which also allowed the revision of absolute configurations of the biflavanoids GB‐1 and GB‐2, and the configurational assignment of GB‐3. 相似文献
We show that the optomechanical coupling between an optical cavity mode and two movable cavity mirrors is able to entangle
two different macroscopic oscillation modes of the mirrors. This continuous variable entanglement is maintained by the light
bouncing between the mirrors and is robust against thermal noise. In fact, it could be experimentally demonstrated using present
technology.

The influence of the substrate temperature Tsub (20–360°C) and the oxygen pressure P(O2) (5 × 10−3−0.13 Pa) in an evaporation chamber on the structure and phase composition of films prepared through laser sputtering of a vanadium target is investigated by electron diffraction and in situ transmission electron microscopy (with the use of the bend extinction contour technique for determining the bending of the crystal lattice). It is demonstrated that the oxygen content in the films increases with an increase in the oxygen pressure P(O2) at a fixed substrate temperature Tsub and decreases with an increase in the substrate temperature Tsub at a fixed oxygen pressure P(O2). The conditions responsible for the formation and composition of the crystalline (VO0.9) and amorphous (V2O3) phases in the films are determined. It is established that the phase composition of the film depends on the angle of condensation of the vapor-plasma flow. The crystallization of the V2O3 amorphous phase is accompanied by an increase in the density by 9.2%. It is revealed that the V2O3 spherulites growing in the amorphous film have a bent crystal lattice. The bending of the crystal lattice can be as large as ∼42 deg/μm.
