Modification of Spatial Coherence by Means of Low-Order Zernike-Mode Adaptive Optics

Spatial coherence of the field modified by low-order adaptive optics is analyzed to establish a theoretical basis for the recent idea of using adaptive optics as a spatial coherence modifier. In this context low-order adaptive optics has the ability to correct some of the low-order aberrations specified by Zernike polynomials. The initial field to be modified is assumed to be a spatially partially coherent one resulting from phase disturbance. It is demonstrated, as in the previous study, that low-order adaptive optics serves to enhance the spatial coherence of the resultant field and that the effect of the enhancement becomes stronger as the spatial coherence of the initially partially coherent field increases. Potential applications of low-order adaptive optics as a spatial coherence modifier are briefly discussed.

Efficient discretization of pressure‐correction equations on non‐orthogonal grids

An alternative discretization of pressure‐correction equations within pressure‐correction schemes for the solution of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations is introduced, which improves the convergence and robustness properties of such schemes for non‐orthogonal grids. As against standard approaches, where the non‐orthogonal terms usually are just neglected, the approach allows for a simplification of the pressure‐correction equation to correspond to 5‐point or 7‐point computational molecules in two or three dimensions, respectively, but still incorporates the effects of non‐orthogonality. As a result a wide range (including rather high values) of underrelaxation factors can be used, resulting in an increased overall performance of the underlying pressure‐correction schemes. Within this context, a second issue of the paper is the investigation of the accuracy to which the pressure‐correction equation should be solved in each pressure‐correction iteration. The scheme is investigated for standard test cases and, in order to show its applicability to practical flow problems, for a more complex configuration of a micro heat exchanger.

Transition energies, wavelengths, oscillator strengths and transition probabilities between 1s, 1sns and 1snp (2?n?9) states for He-like Silicon

Multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock calculations with Breit-Pauli relativistic corrections are reported for electric dipole transition (E1) energies, wavelengths, weighted oscillator strengths and transition probabilities between all of the 1s², 1sns and 1snp (2?n?9) states for He-like silicon. The results are found to compare very well with available other results except Δn=0 due to differences in the calculated excitation energies.     

Number albedo measurements from stratified layers of iron,concrete and aluminium

A layer of stratified combination composed of selected radiation shielding materials acquires better shielding property. Albedo is used in such measurements as an integral measure ofγ-ray scattering. The stratified slabs of alternating heterogeneous layers have been found to have a virtual homogeneous property with a definite effective atomic number. The angular distribution of back-scattered photons as well as the total number albedo values for iron, aluminium and concrete in stratified combination for 662 keV and 1250 keV photons are reported.

On the behavior of ECN/RED gateways under a large number of TCP flows: Limit theorems

We consider a discrete-time stochastic model of an ECN/RED gateway where competing TCP sources share the link capacity. As the number of competing flows becomes large, the asymptotic queue behavior (normalized by the number of flows) at the gateway can be described by a simple recursion and the throughput behavior of individual TCP flows becomes asymptotically independent. A Central Limit Theorem complement is also presented, yielding a more accurate characterization of the asymptotic queue size. These results suggest a scalable yet accurate model of this complex large-scale stochastic feedback system, and crisply reveal the sources of queue fluctuations.

Multivariate calibration of near infrared spectra by orthogonal WAVElet correction using a genetic algorithm

Orthogonal WAVElet correction (OWAVEC) is a pre-processing method aimed at simultaneously accomplishing two essential needs in multivariate calibration, signal correction and data compression, by combining the application of an orthogonal signal correction algorithm to remove information unrelated to a certain response with the great potential that wavelet analysis has shown for signal processing. In the previous version of the OWAVEC method, once the wavelet coefficients matrix had been computed from NIR spectra and deflated from irrelevant information in the orthogonalization step, effective data compression was achieved by selecting those largest correlation/variance wavelet coefficients serving as the basis for the development of a reliable regression model. This paper presents an evolution of the OWAVEC method, maintaining the first two stages in its application procedure (wavelet signal decomposition and direct orthogonalization) intact but incorporating genetic algorithms as a wavelet coefficients selection method to perform data compression and to improve the quality of the regression models developed later. Several specific applications dealing with diverse NIR regression problems are analyzed to evaluate the actual performance of the new OWAVEC method. Results provided by OWAVEC are also compared with those obtained with original data and with other orthogonal signal correction methods.
