Electrical properties of interdigitated partially bent like shaped liquid crystalline compound

This article represents the electrical studies of an interdigitated highly skewed N(4-n-pentyloxybenzylidene) 4-n-alkylaniline (5O.16) compound. Interestingly the compound is partially bent like and unsymmetrical in alkyl chain length. Dielectric and impedance spectroscopy studies indicate the coupling between the liquid crystal and the electrical field. Studies were carried out as a function of temperature as well as frequency. Semicircular nature of the Cole–Cole plots indicates the reorientation of the molecule with the applied field. Using the experimental data and the theoretically fitted results the effective equivalent model circuit was designed. Which used to explain the behavior of the compound under the external electric effect and the influence of the electrodes with different variable represent the resistor circuit. However, the effect of the conductivity of temperature and frequency are also reported.     

Periodic orbits in glycolytic oscillators: From elliptic orbits to relaxation oscillations

We consider the Sel’kov model of glycolytic oscillator for a quantitative study of the limit cycle oscillations in the system. We identify a region of parameter space where perturbation theory holds and use both Linstedt Poincaré technique and harmonic balance to obtain the shape and frequency of the limit cycle. The agreement with the numerically obtained result is excellent. We also find a different extreme, where the limit cycle is of the relaxation oscillator variety, has a large time period and it is seen that, as a particular parameter in the model is varied, the time period increases indefinitely. We characterize this divergence numerically. A calculational method is devised to capture the divergence approximately.     

Search for heavy particles decaying into electron-positron pairs in pp collisions

We present results of searches for technirho (rho(T)), techniomega (omega(T)), and Z' particles, using the decay channels rho(T),omega(T),Z'-->e(+)e(-). The search is based on 124.8 pb(-1) of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron during 1992-1996. In the absence of a signal, we set 95% C.L. upper limits on the cross sections for the processes pp-->rho(T),omega(T),Z'-->e(+)e(-) as a function of the mass of the decaying particle. For certain model parameters, we exclude the existence of degenerate rho(T) and omega(T) states with masses below about 200 GeV. We exclude a Z' with mass below 670 GeV, assuming that it has the same couplings to fermions as the Z boson.     

Effect of parametric modulation on pattern formation in reaction diffusion systems

Reaction diffusion systems can exhibite both spatial and temporal patterns. We show that the effect of spatial variation of the removal rate can have significant effect on the stability boundaries. In particular there can be a case of parametric resonance. Received 11 March 1998     

Hall effects on steady hydromagnetic flow in a rotating channel in the presence of an inclined magnetic field

Effects of Hall current on a steady hydromagnetic (MHD) fully developed flow in a rotating environment within a parallel plate channel in the presence of an inclined magnetic field is studied. From an extension of literature [13] subject to a forced oscillation it is observed that the present paper is methodically more correct to work first in the steady state where forced oscillation becomes insignificant and then new results are expected for an unsteady MHD flow under the influence of a pulse-oscillator. Exact solutions of the governing equations are obtained in a closed form. The graphical representation for the velocity and the induced magnetic field are depicted graphically and the heat transfer at both the plates are presented in tables.

On Some Rings of Arithmetical Functions

In this paper, we consider several constructions which from a given B-product * _B lead to another one We shall be interested in finding what algebraic properties of the ring are shared also by the ring . In particular, for some constructions the rings R _B and will be isomorphic and therefore have the same algebraic properties.     

Control of de-excitation to selected vibrational levels in the ground state of NaH molecule using two broadband ultrashort pulses

We show that the de-excitation to different vibrational levels of the ground state in NaH molecule can be controlled by using two delayed ultrashort pulses (4 fs Gaussian). A vibrational wave packet generated on the excited A¹Σ⁺ state by the first pulse is de-excited back to the ground state by a second pulse after a time delay. The cross-section for de-excitation of the wave packet to different vibrational levels of the ground electronic state can be controlled by controlling the delay time between the two pulses as well as by choosing a pulse duration much shorter than the vibrational period of the molecule, such that the de-excited wave packet remains localized in the Franck–Condon region of a particular vibrational level of the ground state. Hence, the de-excitation to a particular vibrational level can be enhanced by suppressing that in others. In spite of the large bandwidth of the pulse which includes nine vibrational levels of the upper state and five vibrational levels of the ground state, one can selectively de-excite the molecule to any one or two vibrational levels of the ground state by carefully choosing the delay time between the pulses and the pulse duration. We are designing the wave packet in the ground state by two short pulses and selectively distributing the population in one or two levels at various values of the delay time. In light molecules having small vibrational period, this selectivity in de-excitation to one or two vibrational levels in the ground state can be achieved only by using ultrashort (4 fs) pulses in the presence of which the localization of the wave packet in the Franck–Condon region of the vibrational levels are particularly possible. It has been shown that the de-excitation cross-section to a particular vibrational level oscillates with delay between the pulses which can be realized as a time-dependent quantum gate.
