Asymptotic behavior of solutions for the 1-D isentropic Navier–Stokes–Korteweg equations with free boundary

In this paper, we consider the problem with a gas–gas free boundary for the one dimensional isentropic compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system. For shock wave, asymptotic profile of the problem is shown to be a shifted viscous shock profile, which is suitably away from the boundary, and prove that if the initial data around the shifted viscous shock profile and its strength are sufficiently small, then the problem has a unique global strong solution, which tends to the shifted viscous shock profile as time goes to infinity. Also, we show the asymptotic stability toward rarefaction wave without the smallness on the strength if the initial data around the rarefaction wave are sufficiently small.     

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scattering Microscopy.

Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy is presented as a new nonlinear optical technique. The combination of vibrational spectroscopy and microscopy allows highly sensitive investigations of unlabelled samples. CARS is an ideal tool for studying a broad variety of samples. The main drawback of the technique is its non-zero-background nature, which implies that the signal has to be detected against a nonresonant background. The need to solve this problem is reflected in the rapid technological developments that have been observed during the last decade. Recent results show that CARS microscopy has the potential to become an important complementary technique that can be used with other well-established microscopic methods. Although it has some limitations, it offers unique access to many problems that cannot be tackled with conventional techniques. For this reason, it can be expected that the impressive growth of the field will continue.     

Oligodeoxyfluorosides: Strong Sequence Dependence of Fluorescence Emission

We describe the properties of a series of oligomeric polyfluorophores assembled on the DNA backbone. The 11 oligomers (oligodeoxyfluorosides, ODFs), 4-7 monomers in length, were composed of only two fluorescent monomers and a spacer in varied sequences, and were designed to test how fluorescent nucleobases can interact electronically to yield complexity in fluorescence emission. The monomer fluorophores were deoxyribosides of pyrene and perylene, which emit light in violet and blue wavelengths, respectively. The experiments show that simple variation in sequence and spacing can dramatically change fluorescence, yielding emission maxima ranging from 380 to 557 nm and visible colors from violet to orange-red. Fluorescence lifetime data, excitation spectra, and absorption data point to a number of multi-fluorophore electronic interactions, including pyrene-pyrene and perylene-perylene excimers, pyrene-perylene exciplexes, as well as monomer dye emissions, contributing to the final spectral outcomes. Thus, two simple fluorophores can be readily combined to give emissions over much of the visible spectrum, all requiring only a single excitation. The results demonstrate that fluorescent nucleobases in oligomeric form can act cooperatively as electronic units, and that fluorophore sequence in such oligomers is as important as fluorophore composition in determining fluorescence properties.

叶片多角度偏振光谱特性影响因素的实验研究

通过测量绿萝、银杏、苹果三种叶片的多角度偏振光谱,采用斯托克斯矢量法计算了叶片的多角度光谱偏振度,并通过PROSPECT模型反演得到叶片的叶绿素、水分含量,进而分析了叶绿素、水分含量对叶片多角度光谱偏振度的影响,探索了观测几何条件与不同波段叶片偏振度间的关系。结果表明,相对于近红外波段,红光波段的偏振度受叶绿素含量变化的影响较小,而水分含量对这两个波段的偏振度基本均无明显影响。在反映叶片偏振度随观测几何变化方面,近红外波段较另外两个波段有着更好的敏感性和稳定性,但其偏振度值较另外两个波段偏小。     

Analyzing ultrafast multiplex coherent anti‐Stokes Raman spectra with picosecond probing

This article reports an efficient method to simulate time and frequency resolved coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering spectra measured with picosecond pump and probe fields and ultrashort Stokes pulses. A systematic comparison of measured and simulated time and frequency dependent data is presented for carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, cyclohexane, octane, and poly(methyl methacrylate). While the first compound exhibits no Raman active modes in the considered spectral region of the CH‐stretch vibrations, the other ones show Raman spectra of increasing complexity. Vibrational frequencies and homogeneous dephasing rates are extracted by fitting explicit analytical formulas to the recorded data. Interference between nonresonant and resonant contributions to the nonlinear polarization is taken fully into account. The ability to measure the influence of inhomogeneous broadening is discussed.
