Time variation of the electromagnetic transfer function of the earth estimated by using wavelet transform

In order to accurately estimate the geomagnetic transfer functions in the area of the volcano Mt. Iwate (IWT), we applied the interstation transfer function (ISTF) method to the three-component geomagnetic field data observed at Mt. Iwate station (IWT), using the Kakioka Magnetic Observatory, JMA (KAK) as remote reference station. Instead of the conventional Fourier transform, in which temporary transient noises badly degrade the accuracy of long term properties, continuous wavelet transform has been used. The accuracy of the results was as high as that of robust estimations of transfer functions obtained by the Fourier transform method. This would provide us with possibilities for routinely monitoring the transfer functions, without sophisticated statistical procedures, to detect changes in the underground electrical conductivity structure.     

Design considerations of depressed clad W-shaped single mode dispersion compensating fibers

Dispersion compensating fibers (DCFs) are being widely used as dispersion compensation techniques because of its superior characteristics. This work reports the theoretical modelling of a single mode DCF having W-shaped shallow as well as deeply depressed clad profile. The DCFs have been designed and optimized by suitable adjusting different fiber parameters such as, central relative index difference (Δ⁺), inner core radius (a), depression depth parameter (ρ), normalized end position of the depressed clad (p), etc. at a given spot size . The figure of merit (FOM) characteristics including the bend loss as well as other losses associated with fiber manufacturing technique have been thoroughly investigated. Performances of these DCFs for recent wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission system have also been discussed. By adjusting different fiber parameters, the effective core area (A_eff) of the above DCFs can be controlled to minimize the effect of non-linearities on them.     

A basic study on the sound field analysis of periodic structures by boundary integral equation method

This study deals with the development of the approximate method to analyze the sound field around equally spaced finite obstacles, using the periodic boundary condition. First, on the assumption that the equally spaced finite obstacles are the periodically arranged obstacles, the sound field is analyzed by boundary integral equation method with a Green’s function which satisfies the periodic boundary condition. Furthermore, by comparing these results and the exact solution by using the fundamental solution as Green’s function, the validity of the approximate method is also investigated. Next, in order to evaluate the applicability of the approximate method, the simple formula using some parameters, i.e., the frequency, the period, and the number of obstacles, etc., is proposed. The results of the sound field analysis applied the formula are presented.     

Dominant modes of submerged thin cylindrical shells

The relationship between the dominant mode of the submerged thin cylindrical shell and the flexural wave velocity is investigated. The natural frequency corresponding to the vibration mode is obtained as the solution of characteristic equation of thin cylindrical shell. However, it is difficult to estimate the dominant mode, especially if two or more vibration modes are involved. To estimate the dominant mode of a thin shell in vacuo, the concept of “modified bending stiffness” has been introduced. In this paper, the concept of modified bending stiffness is extended to estimate the dominant mode of a submerged thin cylindrical shell. The dominant mode of a submerged thin cylindrical shell is theoretically discriminated from the other mode based on the smallness of the modified bending stiffness of the submerged shell. The validity of our theory is confirmed by a good agreement between theoretical and experimental results on flexural wave velocity.     

More precise determination of thermal lens focal length for end-pumped solid-state lasers

A method of more precise determination of the focal length of equivalent thermal lens (TL) is presented in this paper. The method is based on the diffraction theory of aberrations. By numerically calculating the optical path difference (OPD) distribution and the Strehl ratio, the focal lengths for “top-hat” pumping and Gaussian pumping are obtained and the equations for the focal lengths are presented by curve fitting. Also the equations for average pump radii are presented. The experiment on a fiber-coupled LD pumped Nd:YAG laser is carried out. The experimental results verify the validity of the method.     

Quantum Tunneling Radiation of Reissner-Nordström de Sitter Black Hole with a Global Monopole

Applying Parikh's quantum tunneling model, we study the quantum tunneling radiation of Reissner-Nordström de Sitter black hole with a global monopole. The result shows that the tunneling rates at the event horizon and the cosmic horizon are related to Bekenstein-Hawking entropy if we take the energy conservation into consideration, and the true radiate spectrum is not precisely thermal.     

撞击诱导硝基甲烷分子第一步分解反应的动力学计算

本文基于分子温度与压强的关系,计算在不同压强下基态和最低三态硝基甲烷的分子温度,对应计算其沿着CN键裂解反应的热化学和动力学参数.发现基态的硝基甲烷沿着CN键的分解反应是吸热反应,不具自发性,反应转换温度为1550.2 K,平衡常数在80-1202 K温度范围内很低.最低三态的硝基甲烷沿着CN键的裂解是放热反应,反应的Gibbs自由能在80-2558.5 K范围内为负,有好的自发性,且反应较为彻底.298.15-2558.5 K温度范围内反应活化能随着温度的升高而改变,使反应速率随着温度的升高而急剧增大.对应硝基甲烷爆压15 GPa,其分子温度为4617.6 K,该温度下三态分子分解反应的反应速率为1.088×10~8cm~3·mol~(-1)·s~(-1).推算硝基甲烷沿着CN键分解反应混合物的终态温度,当混合物为硝基、甲基和基态的硝基甲烷分子时,反应的终温为1611.37 K,等效能为1676.47 cm~(-1).当混合物为硝基、甲基、基态和最低三态的硝基甲烷分子时,反应的终温为1184.79 K,等效能为1232.65 cm~(-1).两种情况下终态等效能都足以维持硝基甲烷分子沿C-N键裂解反应的发生.这个能量也足以导致混合物中的NO_2分解为NO和O,这与实验检测的结论相一致.
