We show that collision-induced frequency shifts in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) soliton transmission systems are strongly suppressed with increasing dispersion management. We predict new oscillations in the residual frequency shift response, owing to the relative motion induced by the dispersion map, and demonstrate a direct correlation between these oscillations and the modified soliton-collision dynamics. Simple analytical expressions for the oscillation minima are obtained, and implications for WDM soliton system design are discussed. 相似文献
The paper deals with the polynomial-like iterative functional equation $\lambda_1 f(x)+\lambda_2 f^2(x)+\cdots+\lambda_n f^n(x)=F(x).$By using Schauder’s fixed point theorem and a version of the uniform boundedness principle for families of convex (respectively higher order convex) functions as basic tools, the existence of nondecreasing convex (respectively higher order convex) solutions to this equation on open (possibly unbounded) intervals is investigated. The results of the paper complement similar ones established by other authors, concerning the existence of monotonic or convex solutions to the above equation on compact intervals. Some examples illustrating their applicability are provided. 相似文献
The aim of the study was to develop the hydrogeochemical profiling of caves based on the elemental composition of water and silty soil samples and a multivariate statistical analysis. Major and trace elements, including rare earths, were determined in the water and soil samples. The general characteristics of water, anions content, inorganic and organic carbon fractions and nitrogen species (NO3− and NH4+) were also considered. The ANOVA—principal component analysis (PCA) and two-way joining analysis were applied on samples collected from Cloșani Cave, Romania. The ANOVA-PCA revealed that the hydrogeochemical characteristics of Ca2+-HCO3− water facies were described by five factors, the strongest being associated with water-carbonate rock interactions and the occurrence of Ca, Mg and HCO3− (43.4%). Although organic carbon fractions have a lower influence (20.1%) than inorganic ones on water characteristics, they are involved in the chemical processes of nitrogen and of the elements involved in redox processes (Fe, Mn, Cr and Sn). The seasonal variability of water characteristics, especially during the spring, was observed. The variability of silty soil samples was described by four principal components, the strongest influence being attributed to rare earth elements (52.2%). The ANOVA-PCA provided deeper information compared to Gibbs and Piper diagrams and the correlation analysis. 相似文献
We report experimental research of the laser-produced indium plasma in hydrogen, argon and residual atmospheric ambient conditions. Note on general plasma behavior and morphology is presented. On the basis of intensity ratio of the two intense neutral resonance spectral lines (In I 410.2 nm and 451.1 nm), self-absorption was found to be almost negligible in case of argon environment at a pressure of 6650 Pa. Under these conditions, the first Stark widths (W) and shifts (d) measurements were performed as well. The resulting synthetic Lorentz profiles, based on the hyperfine structure of these two lines and corresponded W values, were calculated in order to reproduce measured Wm in case of particular electron temperature (T) and number density (N). These results should be of interest to the upcoming theoretical calculations concerning neutral indium spectral lines and also for various diagnostic applications. 相似文献
The characterisation of 45 Romanian single-strength fruit juices (apples, pears, plums and grapes) collected from different Transylvanian areas by means of stable isotope approach are presented and discussed in this study. We measured (2)H/(1)H, (18)O/(16)O ratios from water juice and (13)C/(12)C from pulp and compared these results with those already reported in the literature for single-strength juices, in order to see how the geographical and climatic conditions of Transylvania and the meteorological peculiarities of the year 2010 influence the isotopic composition of the investigated fruit juices. The δ(13)C mean values that we found for apple pulp picked up from different Transylvanian areas show slight differences, probably due to the environmental conditions of the plants. No significant correlation either between the variety of apple or the geographical origin and δ(13)C value was established. 相似文献
The aim of this study was to develop some sunscreen formulations able to maintain their photoprotection when exposed to UV radiation. In this context, the influence of the antioxidant α-tocopherol on the photostability of lipid-based nanoparticles, namely solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), encapsulated with a UVA filter, has been investigated. The nanoparticles co-encapsulated with both actives exhibited dimensions smaller than 200 nm and zeta potentials of –45 mV. The photoprotection of the creams based on lipid nanoparticles was evaluated in terms of two protection factors, SPF and erythemal UVA–PF. By exposing the creams to UV radiation, it was observed that tocopherol results in obtaining quite stable formulations, but it does not improve the overall photoprotection much. However, by adding the antioxidant to the formulation confers a double action: protection of the skin against reactive oxygen species and the photostabilization of the UVA filter into lipid nanoparticles. 相似文献
Due to their unique features, most nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) in association with vegetable oils that exhibit UV filtering properties and bioactivity could be used in many cosmetic formulations. Therefore, in this work, a new application of pomegranate seed oil (PSO) in the cosmetic sector was developed, based on the synthesis of bioactive lipid nanocarriers loaded with various UV filters by the hot high pressure homogenization technique. To get broad spectrum photoprotection, different UVA and UVB filters have been used (Avobenzone — AVO, Octocrylen-OCT, Bemotrizinol — BEMT). The influence of the solid lipids combined with PSO on the particle size, physical stability and entrapment efficiency was investigated using 8 nanocarrier systems. An improved physical stability and an appropriate size were obtained for NLCs prepared with Emulgade, carnauba wax and PSO (e.g. ?30.9÷-36.9 mV and 160÷185 nm). NLCs showed an entrapment efficiency above 90% and assured slow release rates of UV filters, especially for BEMT (5%). The developed nanocarriers have been formulated into safe and effective sunscreens containing low amounts of synthetic UV filters coupled with a high percent of natural ingredients. The highest SPF of 34.3 was obtained for a cream comprising of 11% PSO and 3.7% BEMT
A low to medium power radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasma is characterized as spectral source for atomic emission. The signal to background ratio and the limits of detection were determined for 19 elements as a function of the plasma torch geometry and the observation point. 相似文献
