Layer optimization in wight organic light emitting diodes (WOLEDs) to reduce the portion of guided waves in ITO/Glass interface

In this paper, our main attempt was to reduce Total Internal Reflection (TIR) happening at Indium Tin Oxide (ITO, n_ito = 1.8 + 0.01i) and Glass (n_glass = 1.51) interface, which is due to ITO's higher index in comparison with Glass's, that makes light guided in ITO layer, 50% of generated light in Wight Organic Light Emitting Diodes (WOLED) are trapped in ITO layer; here we tried to reduce this portion of trapped light by implying 12-fold quasi-photonic crystal to the mentioned interface. With some gentle changes in 12-fold's structure we could reduce TIR in this interface to less than 9%. Also, far field results before and after adding the structure to WOLED were studied, which represents suitability of using this structure for lighting applications.     

High heat generation ability in AC magnetic field for nano-sized magnetic Y3Fe5O12 powder prepared by bead milling

Nano-sized magnetic Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ ferrite having a high heat generation ability in an AC magnetic field was prepared by bead milling. A commercial powder sample (non-milled sample) of ca. 2.9 μm in particle size did not show any temperature enhancement in the AC magnetic field. The heat generation ability in the AC magnetic field improved with a decrease in the average crystallite size for the bead-milled Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ ferrites. The highest heat ability in the AC magnetic field was for the fine Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ powder with a 15-nm crystallite size (the samples were milled for 4 h using 0.1 mm? beads). The heat generation ability of the excessively milled Y₃Fe₅O₁₂ samples decreased. The main reason for the high heat generation property of the milled samples was ascribed to an increase in the Néel relaxation of the superparamagnetic material. The heat generation ability was not influenced by the concentration of the ferrite powder. For the samples milled for 4 h using 0.1 mm? beads, the heat generation ability (W g⁻¹) was estimated using a 3.58×10⁻⁴ fH² frequency (f/kHz) and the magnetic field (H/kA m⁻¹), which is the highest reported value of superparamagnetic materials.     

The identification of tricyclic neuroleptics and sulphonamides by high-performance thin-layer chromatography

Circular high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) has been used to differentiate a series of twelve tricyclic neuroleptics, using both normal phase and reverse phase procedures. The use of normal phase systems also allows the resolution of geometric isomers of chlorprothixene, clopenthixol and flupenthixol. Thirteen sulphonamides and Trirnethoprim may also be distinguished using HPTLC.     

The SC property of an expected residual function arising from stochastic complementarity problems

The stochastic nonlinear complementarity problem has been recently reformulated as an expected residual minimization problem which minimizes an expected residual function defined by an NCP function. In this work, we show that the expected residual function defined by the Fischer–Burmeister function is an function.     

Kernel estimates and -spectral independence of generators of -semigroups

After the appearance of W. Arendt's result that “Gaussian estimate of a semigroup implies the L^p-spectral independence of the generator,” various generalizations have been obtained. This paper shows that a certain kernel estimate of a semigroup implies the L^p-spectral independence of the generator, generalizing the case of upper Gaussian estimate and “Gaussian estimate of order α(0,1] [S. Miyajima, H. Shindoh, Gaussian estimates of order α and L^p-spectral independence of generators of C₀-semigroups, Positivity 11 (1) (2007) 15–39], Definition 3.1.” The proof uses S. Karrmann's result about the L^p-spectral independence and B.A. Barnes' theorem about the spectrum of integral operators. As an application, the L^p-spectral independence of −[(−Δ)^α+V] (α(0,1]) for a suitable V is proved with the help of a recent result by V. Liskevich, H. Vogt and J. Voigt [V. Liskevich, H. Vogt, J. Voigt, Gaussian bounds for propagators perturbed by potentials, J. Funct. Anal. 238 (2006) 245–277].     

A variational formulation of anisotropic geometric evolution equations in higher dimensions

We present a novel variational formulation of fully anisotropic motion by surface diffusion and mean curvature flow in , d ≥ 2. This new formulation leads to an unconditionally stable, fully discrete, parametric finite element approximation in the case d = 2 or 3. The resulting scheme has very good properties with respect to the distribution of mesh points and, if applicable, volume conservation. This is demonstrated by several numerical experiments for d = 3, including regularized crystalline mean curvature flow and regularized crystalline surface diffusion.

Poset algebras over well quasi-ordered posets

A new class of partial order-types, class is defined and investigated here. A poset P is in the class iff the poset algebra F(P) is generated by a better quasi-order G that is included in L(P). The free Boolean algebra F(P) and its free distributive lattice L(P) have been defined in [ABKR]. The free Boolean algebra F(P) contains the partial order P and is generated by it: F(P) has the following universal property. If B is any Boolean algebra and f is any order-preserving map from P into a Boolean algebra B, then f can be extended to a homomorphism of F(P) into B. We also define L(P) as the sublattice of F(P) generated by P. We prove that if P is any well quasi-ordering, then L(P) is well founded, and is a countable union of well quasi-orderings. We prove that the class is contained in the class of well quasi-ordered sets. We prove that is preserved under homomorphic image, finite products, and lexicographic sum over better quasi-ordered index sets. We prove also that every countable well quasi-ordered set is in . We do not know, however if the class of well quasi-ordered sets is contained in . Additional results concern homomorphic images of posets algebras.

Nonlinear diffusion in type-II superconductors

In this paper we study a nonlinear evolution equation _∂t(σ(|E|)E)+∇×∇×E=F${\mathrm{\partial }}_t(\sigma (\left|\mathit{E}\right|)\mathit{E})+\nabla \times \nabla \times \mathit{E}=\mathit{F}$ in a bounded domain subject to appropriate initial and boundary conditions. This governs the evolution of the electric field E$\mathit{E}$ in a conductive medium under the influence of a force F$\mathit{F}$. It is an approximation of Bean's critical-state model for type-II superconductors. We design a nonlinear numerical scheme for the time discretization. We prove the convergence of the proposed method. The proof is based on a generalization of div–curl lemma for transient problems. We also derive some error estimates for the approximate solution.
