Laser induced air breakdown using 0.355, 0.532, and 1.06 µm radiation

Studies of breakdown threshold intensity for air at various pressures in the range of 24–760 torr using 0.355, 0.532 and 1.06 μm radiation are reported. We observep ^−0.8 scaling ofI _th at 1.06 μm and a weak scaling ofp ^−0.4 at 0.532 and 0.355 μm radiation. Strong dependence of breakdown spot size on laser power but weak dependence on air pressure is observed.     

Resolvent estimates in W−1,p related to strongly coupled‐linear parabolic systems with coupled nonsmooth capacities

We investigate linear parabolic systems with coupled nonsmooth capacities and mixed boundary conditions. We prove generalized resolvent estimates in W^{?1, p} spaces. The method is an appropriate modification of a technique introduced by Agmon to obtain L^p estimates for resolvents of elliptic differential operators in the case of smooth boundary conditions. Moreover, we establish an existence and uniqueness result. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Coupling Losses for Resonators with Unequal Apertures for Extended Fresnel Numbers

Coupling losses have been calculated for laser resonators with unequal apertures and extended Fresnel Numbers. This was done using both, diffraction theory and a simple linear model.A close form expression was derived to calculate coupling losses with reasonable accuracies for a limited range of paramters. This should help in the preliminary design of hole coupling laser resonators.     

Analysis of Experiments on Determining the Turbulent Mixing Constant on the Basis of Two-Dimensional Calculations

Based on numerical calculations, the experiments on mixing at the interface of gases are analyzed. Single-mode and random disturbances of the interface and superposition of random disturbances onto long-wave perturbations are considered. Possible reasons for the higher value of the mixing constant obtained in the experiments are discussed.     

聚丙烯酸长链酯的Huggins常数与其分子量的依赖性关系

聚丙烯酸高碳醇酯(PBA)及聚丙烯酸十八醇酯(POA)是具有长烷基侧链的梳状聚合物,在溶剂苯中的Huggins常数(k′)随其分子量(M)的变化而变化.在PBA-苯体系中发现,当M低于某一临界分子量(MLC)时,k′随分子量的降低显著增大;当M大于某临界分子量(MHC)时,k′随分子量的升高而增大;当M在MLC～MHC时,k′基本上保持不变.而在POA-苯体系中发现,当M低于某一临界分子量(MC)时,k′随分子量的降低显著增大;当M大于该临界分子量(MC)时,k′在0.33～0.43变化.文中同时给出了精确算法用来计算PBA-苯体系及POA-苯体系中PBA及POA的特性粘度.当k′＞0.758时,用稀释外推法计算;当0.758＞k′＞0.426时,用一点法公式[η]=ηsp/C(√)ηr计算;当0.426＞k′＞0.334时,用另一一点法公式[η]=(√)2(ηsp-lnηr)/C计算.

原子核的单粒子共振态

采用基于相对论平均场的耦合常数解析延拓方法研究球形核的单粒子共振态.具体计算了Zr同位素链中巨晕核的核芯核122Zr阈值附近的中子共振态的能量、宽度和波函数,其结果同相应的散射相移法的结果一致. Using analytic continuation in the coupling constant (ACCC) method within the framework of the self-consistent relativistic mean field (RMF) theory, the energies, widths and wave functions for single-particle resonant states close to the continuum threshold are evaluated. Predictions are also compared with corresponding results obtained by the scattering phase shift method.

Ti(IV) as TiCl₃(O₃SCF₃) and TiO(O₂CCF₃)₂ are used as efficient catalysts for oxidative coupling of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic thiols to their disulfides in the presence of NaI under air atmosphere.     

An efficient phosphine-free palladium coupling for the synthesis of new 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes

Straightforward and rapid access to 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes has been developed. It involved a catalytic coupling of 3-activated benzo[b]thiophenes with several aryl halides in the presence of a phosphine-free palladium system. In case of fragile functional groups such as aldehydes, a quaternary ammonium was used as an additive as with the other substrates, the coupling performed better and faster in the presence of a crown ether, the best one being DCH-18-C-6, with good yields and low reaction times. This method would provide a direct access to novel structures of biological interest.
